The Mind of the Conspiracy Theorist »

Posted By Tumultuous 3 weeks, 1 day ago in Political Opinion

Everyone's favorite dentist/lawyer/nutter, Orly Taitz, has a post on her blog that provides key insight into how the mind of a conspiracy theorist works. The principle dynamic at work in such a mind is confirmation bias; everything that weighs against their theory is automatically filtered out and explained away, while entirely mundane facts are twisted to make them appear to support that theory even when they don't. A perfect example is her response to the latest judge to dismiss one of her many cases:

    it's funny how people call a person a conspiracy theorist but it only takes 2 people to make a conspiracy come to fruition. I mean conspiracies are committed every day e.g. Most of the financial people & countries know that there is price manipulation, however on Monday when the IMF said that they were going to sell tonnes of gold....their intention was to drive it down as usually happens but in this case India took nearly half which is going to further exacerbate the lack of confidence in American banking institutions. Anyway the price of gold closed up $30 on that day. the IMF got called like the Morgan's did a few weeks ago and they tried to buy out a contract for an extra 25% because they didn't have the gold which the customer demnded.
    When JFK got gunned down in Dallas and the investigation concluded that it was a lone assassin Lee Harvey Oswald which of course was impossible because the back of Kennedies head and brain was blown out. Now a film comes out showing that the secret service were involved...a supervisor pulled the guards from the rear of the car as they are supposed to stand on the back bumper. One of the secret service men pulled from the car is furious & he is rigorously protesting because he knows he is leaving the President unprotected. The film also show how all the motorcyclists rode beside Johnson's car. Why was that?
    So when does a conspiracy theorist get some recognition? Never! Too much time passes by.
    Is the meeting of the Bilderberg a conspiracy? Of course it is. 100 or more people meeting in secret figuring out a way to implement their agenda of the New World Order. The Rothschilds don't even show up because of course they like to remain under their cloaking device.
