The American Nightmare!

From childhood we are told that anyone can become anything (The American Dream)–even a president. A majority of the extremely conservative GOP and its blindly obedient followers are creating a social atmosphere that is becoming dangerously volatile. This irresponsible crusade has the capability to further divide this nation and trigger an eruption similar to those of the civil rights moments. This twisted reality that’s reviving social divide, is being orchestrated by a majority of the right wings elected politicians, and journalist with an ulterior motive is to broadcast lies mixed with misinformation. Then there are the billion dollar corporations that fund this turmoil in order to protect their financial interest. This trio provides a demagogy of social economical discord, that controls the minds and lives of some Americans like pawns in a twisted game of chess. An example of these controversial events occurred during the President’s prime time address to Congress concerning health care reform.

During the president’s speech, a little known and insignificant representative of South Carolina did the unimaginable and unprecedented by yelling, “YOU LIE”, during the president’s address. This obnoxious display of disrespect is an example of the growing disregard displayed by right wing extremist. This Senator, Joe Wilson, happens to be a proud member of ‘The Sons of Confederate Veterans’ and one of seven senators that fought for the continued flying of the confederate flag over government buildings. These individuals love to wrap themselves in the American flag, while professing altered versions of the United States Constitution, claiming their beliefs of ‘Country First’. These actions and beliefs are so hypercritical that they read like the pages of our tormented pre-civil rights past. These ugly chapters of this nation’s history are being awakened by a small group of Americans that never fathomed the possibility of a black junior senator with a funny name, actually becoming their Commander and Chief. This landslide victory has galvanized these people with fear. When protesting they provide ridiculous statements like, how they want their freedom and country back, as if Pres. Obama has plans to enslave them because of his breaking into the white house like some thief in the night.

Certain people at rallies, town hall meetings, and manipulative journalist at Fox news seem to share beliefs portrayed by white supremacist. Their behavior is festering like a cancerous sore on the hearts of this nation. Marchers carry signs with the president wearing a small mustache like the one adorned by Hitler or wearing the swastika baring uniform of the German soldier. These are but a few of many assaults launched upon the elected leader of the U.S.A. They have proudly called him a multitude of names such as:Socialist, Communist, liar, anti-Christ, death merchant,terrorist, Muslim, Arab, Stalin, Marx, Castro, illegal alien, and satanist. This list is like the ‘Energizer Rabbit’–it just goes on and on and on.

Pres. Obama is a charismatic and intelligent man– loved worldwide. His inauguration was celebrated in every country but a few. His acceptance by the world is unprecedented, earning him The Nobel Peace Prize. Now if the instigating by irresponsible right wing media and a handful of elected official were to cause he or his family harm from an assassination attempt–may heaven help us! The repercussions would make the riots from the Kennedy and King murders seem like a picnic in the park! This country will implode from violence re-opening a wound that would take a lifetime to heal. This turmoil will ignite fires with the sparks from a few…but they will destroy the lives of many.

“Steele A Fool!”

Where do they grow idiots like Micheal Steele? There has to be a farm that produces men like him because it takes cultivation to produce an individual of his social ignorance! Almost every time this man addresses the public with his outrageous political ideologies, I find myself rubbing a wrenched forehead to the tune of a racing heart, while in a state of absolute awe, thinking…WTF! It is obvious that he is nothing more than the GOP’s black face– because of a black president. If you were to look up the word ‘token‘ in a dictionary his photo would be there…smiling.Like Gov. Palin, the GOP assumed the world would be gullible enough to believe these individuals were qualified for their appointments, but they were only able to convince two with this mockery–Palin and Steele.

Mr. Steele has proven to be, the spawn of an American ‘House Negro‘, garnishing a leash slightly longer than the other misinformed.His behavior resembles a man who would claim, “I am not a puppet,I’m a real boy!”.It is crystal clear that a Republican National Chairman… he is not! ‘Poster Boy ‘would be a more accurate title. Now there are some admirable people of African descent in the Republican party–Gen. Colin Powell, Lynn Swann,Condaleeza Rice and Gubernatorial candidate Ken Blackwell,to name a few.

This post was not meant to serve as an assault upon anyone’s freedom of expression, or political affiliation, but when a person of sound mind and reasonable intelligence, allows himself to be used as a racial pawn– in a chess game of social stereotypes, I am repulsed! The latest offense came in the form of a blog designed to attract minorities to the Republican Party. The blog was named:”What Up?”…WTF!!!? After overwhelming outrage and ridicule, the RNC changed the name of this offensive blog to ‘Change the Game,’ which only added insult to injury. The ‘Grand Ole Party‘ has become just that…an ‘Old Party‘ whose members posses fleeting moments of grandeur.

Increasingly displaying either an elitist or combative mentality has labeled them as, ‘The Party of No‘ which is truly an understatement. They have proudly become the party of no:sense,sympathy,empathy,class,respect,dignity or clue!

Big Top Palin

The Clownish and Corrupted Behavior of Sarah Palin

Hockey moms and pit bulls.

Ever since Gov. Palin first opened her mouth in the ‘big show’ of American politics she has undoubtedly been the self caricaturing gift, that keeps on giving.The media would find it difficult creating a ‘political play toy’ that equals the exploits of Sarah Palin–she’s a walking punchline. Watching her interviews with Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric were so disturbing I actually felt sorry for her. With each question you could almost hear the crickets chirping in the void of her political knowledge. Still shaken from the previous questions, she was unable to answer the simple inquiry, “What magazines do you like to read when you are at home?”, having been coached by political strategists the night before with possible questions and responses was obviously so overwhelming that this innocent exploration of her daily life was so far out in left field that she blew a fuse, causing her brain to revert to default mode only allowing information which came with the system. So she proceeded with a ‘runner-up beauty pageant’ response, similar to the one given in the Charlie Gibson interview when asked for her opinion of the ‘Bush Doctrine’.

If the way she lives and the things she’s said were not serious they would be hysterically funny.Quoting a CNN journalist,”All Sarah Palin needs now is a red rubber nose and a pair of big exploding shoes!”. If it were only this simple–labeling her as a sideshow entertainer in a twisted political circus.What this woman has displayed with the moves she makes and breaths she takes, are becoming less humorous, entering the realm of dangerous! This assessment was given after her latest insinuation, slandering Pres.Obama’s plan for health care reform, claiming it would include euthanasia of the elderly and children that are of special needs, similar to her own that was born with down syndrome. Misinformation and lies only heighten the fear and anger already devouring the rational element owned by an ever growing mob of gullible individuals that are still finding it difficult to accept the reality of a president of African descendant, regardless of his Caucasian parentage.

Watching the rabbit displays of discontent at town hall meetings given by our government’s political representatives, offer a chilling reminder of this country’s shameful past and unstable present. A televised coverage of these epitaphs, inscribed on the tomb of this country’s racial discord are the events instigated by another famous, or infamous, Governor–George Wallace. Gov.Wallace was extremely animate concerning desegregating of the state of Alabama, claiming “Pres.John F. Kennedy wants to surrender this state to Martin Luther King and his group of pro-communists who have instituted these demonstrations!”…sound familiar?

Whenever the ignorance of the socially challenged few, which include ex-Gov. Palin whose quitting nature is now a part of the Urban Dictionary(Pulling a Palin), meet in their hate constructed clubhouse it seems as if the number one agenda for each gathering is– undermining the presidency of a man who has received more popular votes than any other president. Pres. Obama is loved all over the world, his nomination and confirmation as leader of the U.S.A was watched and celebrated in the homes, restaurants, bars, streets, churches and other places for gathering in every major country except two–Russia and N.Korea.

If people like Ms.Palin, Lou Dobbs, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and the many other possessors of political and economic power continue their twisted pursuit of dissemination, they may trigger an explosion which will be unimaginable and uncontrollable. This form of social terrorism will be more damaging and pleasurable to the Al Qeada than any attack of theirs, because it will have been self-induced and to them considered, well deserved social implosion.

If we do not gather as a nation and deter this pond scum, from our disturbing past, they will drag us down with them. These social separatist are programed to knock us three steps back, for every two we take in the opposite direction.

Crazy Like A Foxx

Matthew Shepard

During a debate on the floor of the House of Representatives,Congresswoman Virginia Foxx made a statement so appalling it has caused an outcry worldwide! She gave the U.S.A just more proof that the republican party has little on the menu concerning affairs for social or economic reform. She debased the memory of an innocent victim killed in a hate crime.

Matthew Shepard was a 22yr. young man singled out and murdered by two men for his sexuality. He was lured from a bar by one and pistol whipped, stabbed, beat, burned and attached to a barbed wire fence were he was left to die. He remained there in agonizing pain for 18 hours before being discovered by a biker.Mathew died five days later in the intensive care of Poudre Valley Hospital.

The assailants,Henderson and Mckinney, were not charged for hate crimes–at this time the legislation did not exist. Mathew Sheppard’s parents,Judy and Dennis, fought tirelessly for a bill which would acknowledged these assaults as a hate crime.

On March 20th,2007 The Matthew Shepard act was introduced to the U.S Congress by Dem.John Conyers and passed in The House of Representatives on May 3rd,that same year. Other legislation similar to this one passed on September 7th,2007– which President Bush claimed he would veto if it reached his desk.

Yesterday on the House floor Rep. Virginia Foxx debated the expansion of the hate crimes legislation by saying:

“I also would like to point out that there was a bill — the hate crimes bill that’s called the Matthew Shepard bill is named after a very unfortunate incident that happened where a young man was killed, but we know that that young man was killed in the commitment of a robbery. It wasn’t because he was gay. This — the bill was named for him, hate crimes bill was named for him, but it’s really a hoax that continues to be used as an excuse for passing these bills,”

Well…the torches are lit and the villagers are angry!These remarks have offended people worldwide!Americans immediately began protests demanding this woman’s apology or resignation! The congresswoman’s office was flooded with e-mails and phone calls from people expressing their anger. So in a statement which increased the insult to injury, instead of a full apology she remarked,

“The term ‘hoax’ was a poor choice of words used in the discussion of the hate-crimes bill,Mr. Shepard’s death was nothing less than a tragedy, and those responsible for his death certainly deserved the punishment they received.”

It was more than a “poor” choice of words, it was a horrific choice!

A hate crime is more than an assault against homosexuality it is profiling meant to suppress and terrorize race,sexuality,religion, or social group. And today being my birthday all I ask is for a sincere apology or resignation from Congresswoman Virginia Foxx!

Jamaican Justice…

Jamaica…the land that is known for its beautiful beaches, laid back mentality,and advertises a wonderful love of life has forgotten to mention that it is one of the most homophobic places in the world! Under Jamaican law homosexuality is punishable by ten years of hard labor. While an adult male sexually assaulting a teenage girl only warrants seven. There’s something very wrong with this picture! Why should the lifestyles of two consenting individuals and what they do in the privacy of their own homes concern another? Living in Jamaica as a GLBT (Gay,Lesbian,Bi-Sexual,or Transgendered)has been compared to living in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban! There are vigilante groups combing the streets with automatic weapons killing without remorse, having no solid proof of their victims sexuality–exacting a “Sexual Salem Witch Hunt”!

In the U.S. the GLBT of San Francisco has launched a boycott of Jamaican tourism and products. This protest starting in San Francisco have worked there way to New York City. This grassroots protests though well intentioned, were not sanctioned by J-FLAG (Jamaican Forum for All Sexual and Gays) are considered to be causing more harm than good. These protests are thought to single out certain corporations such as Red Stripe Beer. This company in 2008 took a bold step by denouncing homophobic behavior and pulled sponsorship from those who violated the rights of GLBT.

It has been stated by a J-FLAG representative, “We believe that any overseas entity or organization seeking to agitate for change in a context with which it has only passing familiarity should first do its homework to ensure that it does not do harm … to the cause of the local community whose interest it seeks to defend,” But it is believed by many from other countries, that if economy pressure is not enforced, this unjust and inhuman behavior will continue. The GLBT are not asking much from the Jamaican government. Their only demands are:

1.For Jamaican officials to publicly commit to the ending of gay bashing on the island and improving the human rights situation.

2.A statement from the Prime Minister clearly and unequivocally condemning violence against GLBT people and expressing regret for past violence.

As a heterosexual male I am just an outsider looking in. I can empathize with both sides of the GLBT movements. The non-Jamaicans see a horrible injustice that they wish to end. Were the Jamaican citizen believe these well intentioned acts are just adding fuel to the fire. I believe that homophobia is a horrible sickness if not treated will spread like any other disease. In my opinion wide scale boycotts are not always the answer because they also harm the innocent. Knowledge is the best weapon. I have known and love many Gays,Lesbians,and Bi-Sexual–now after learning of the horror being inflicted upon these people in Jamaica, until there is a change I will never set foot, or endorse this place in any way!

“The Decisions That We Make…”

“President-elect Barack Obama did not throw the LGBT community under the bus, as many have suggested since the selection of Rev.Rick Warren to deliver the invocation was made public.  On the contrary, he just politely asked us to take a seat in the back, which really should come as little surprise given that we’ve been here before on his agenda.”  -Gaywiredcom-

The announcement of Warren’s future role in Obama’s candidacy definitely has the resemblance of John McCain’s introduction of Sara Palin all over it. That debacle was always apparent to those with even a reasonable amount of intelligence, that McCain’s actions were done out of desperation. His actions proved to be the transformation of Gov. Palin,into a willing pawn, and a dream come true for talk show hosts, political analysts, and  comics worldwide. Sen. McCain’s decision has earned the title of– possibly the greatest political hale Mary ever thrown. But Obama’s choice is as questionable as it is disturbing.

To invite a notoriously homophobic reverend to participate in probably the most awaited political ceremony   in the history of modern society, is being considered as a deliberate slap in the face to many. This act has been viewed as a betrayal by many and will not easily be forgotten. There are 6 million Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgendered  individuals (LGBT), that loyally promoted the Obama campaign from the very beginning. These faithful campaigners were always there as; fundraisers,volunteers, and financial donors when Pres.-elect Obama, was still a junior senator with a funny name, that few had heard of and most doubted would achieve what he has…so soon.

Pres. -elect Obama ran an inspirational campaign with promises of social equality. When confronted by the issue of   same sex relations, he always made it clear that he disagreed with homosexuality, but extending his famed, “Disagreeing without being disagreeable” speech. This opinion was accepted by the LGBT community as being a sign of respect for an individual’s chosen lifestyle.A sort of live and let mentality. This social belief was also promised by Clinton who eventually fell short of his promise. But this alliance of claimed, “Disagreeing without being disagreeable” with the famed homophobically disagreeable Rev.Warren is unacceptable. Allowing Rev.Rick Warren to deliver the invocation, is appearing to be yet another president, failing to be concerned with the  (LGBT) community which assisted in the winning of his election.

The Association of Religion Data, polled clergy on their beliefs concerning same sex relationships. The largest percentage considered homosexuality as “always wrong” 1052 (53.0%),the second largest group considered this “not wrong at all” 624 (31.4%),the third largest believed this to be “sometimes wrong” 136 (6.8%) the fourth considered it as “almost always wrong” 96 (4.8%), and the smallest group “didn’t know” 78 (3.9%)

Even though Rick Warren’s opinion is the same as  the largest group of clergy which agree, that homosexuality is absolutely unacceptable. He also has proven to be one of the most radically vocal on this topic. His comparisons  are often insulting,malicious, and disturbingly ludicrous. And shortly after the announcement of this controversial  appointment– “conveniently hypocritical” was added to this resume. This new title was earned 24 hours after the LGBT outcry. It was announced that Rev.Warren’s offensive web page was doctored, missing many of the offensive accusations Rev.Warren has become famous for making and proudly defended.

There is one constant in presidential history and life in general– no one president ,world leader, or anyone will be able to please everyone all of the time. As far as US leaders are concerned, President Obama  faces a unique dilemma.  It is believed that a few of his future legacies will be:

• He would play to African-Amer community.
• He would abandon the African-Amer community.
• He was too bi-partisan.
• He wasn’t as bi-partisan as he promised.
• Lasting 4 to 8 yrs, he is about to become the rope for a worldwide match of  tug of war.

President- elect Obama raised more money and received more popular votes than any president in US history. On January20th, 2009 when this man and his family accepts their place in history, he will become more than the United States of America’s first African-American president. He has already been offered the thrown of World Unifier.  Sharing this moment with Rev. Rick Warren is a decision that many believe should be reconsidered.

“An Example Of Political Implosion!”

Senator John McCain, has been the republican party nominee,and participant to one of the most disgracefully managed presidential campaigns in The United States’ history. His steady stream of lies; contradictions, and bending of truth, has proven to be one of the disqualifying cornerstones for the role he seeks.  The position of Commander and Chief, is one that should not be taken lightly. For it is more than a job of authority, it is position that demands truth, honor, and selflessness. Just being a “wild cat” navy pilot, graduating 5th lowest at Annapolis, and shot down while pursuing the family tradition of military service, does not automatically qualify an individual for this tremendous responsibility. Not saying that his deeds and  suffering are not admired, they alone do not merit this country’s seal of approval needed for presidency.

Sen. McCain is a man known for his anger issues, outdated sense of diplomacy, questionable sense of humor, with sporadic judgement as the cherry on top. Just 5 months ago, while being interviewed, was asked about his campaign strategy he quickly replied, “Americans want a respectful campaign, they do, they want it “. He then admits that negative campaigns do get votes. Then states, “But do we need to go to the lowest common denominator? I don’t think so… we want this race to be run on issues.”

So when polling numbers continuously rose in favor of Sen. Obama, that’s when the barrage of verbal knee capping and advertising smears were born. When questioned about this behavior, reporters were overwhelmed with a flood of double talk, that would be the envy of the finest snake oil salesmen. I’ve lost count of how many times McCain justified these actions by claiming, ” I offered Sen. Obama the opportunity to join me weekly town hall debates, and he decline my offer “, as if this justified his contradicting,  documented statement, that offered a  “respectful” campaign.

So when Obama became fed up with this foolishness, and began to fight back, the GOP had the gall to cry fowl because their dishonorable campaign practices had backfired. Thee smears achieved to no effect because the open minded accepted them for what they were– lies and subtle acts of racial profiling. This insulted the voter’s intelligence and groups being portrayed.These lies and bending of truth, resulted in the rise of polling numbers for Sen. Obama. The Obama camp’s ability to debunk these acts  of desperation, only proved the Senator’s ability to lead by example. This exemplary maintenance  of composure earned him worldwide respect, and support, which McCain’s questionable behavior will never experience.

I must admit, for a while this ridiculous behavior came to a halt, only to return with an act described as, “the throwing of the kitchen sink”. The GOP chose to launch vicious assaults at the Senators choice of brief experience with William Ayers, a that planned and was punished for his plot to bomb government buildings just by his radical beliefs. This became a reformed citizen after his punishment for this crime, and is currently a professor at a Chicago University.The GOP then stooped to the use of his (Hussein) as a profiling scare tactic, and began questioning his list of financial donors, with the suggestion of Islamic support. And of course Barrack Hussein Obama would be the leader of this unGodly coup d’etat. The Republican party planned this so close to the election date assuming, the Democratic party would not have time to launch an effective counter assault. They did not consider the possibility of Obama having an ace his sleeve…well he did!

Yesterday the Democratic party launched a 13 minute video on the Internet reminding voters of McCain’s alleged involvement with the “Keating 5″. This piece of cinematography was obviously created months ago and may just be the last nail in McCain’s self-built coffin. It was first distributed to Obama supporters and delegates with instructions to share it by posting and distribution… which I am about to do.

In Closing I would like to say, “My Name Is R.E.Mitchell(Texas Delegate) And I Support This Message!

The Trade Marketing Of Terror!

         

         Yesterday, Keith Olbermann, MSNBC journalist, held an individual and his blind followers socially accountable in a way that will not be soon forgotten!

Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, and his loyal followers of the G.O.P , have fallen to a level of shameless behavior that has justified the increasingly low opinions and mistrust society has of politicians. It seems that once these individuals are elected they begin to forget that they have been allowed and entrusted, to be the caretakers of our unified best interests.

 A majority of the leaders in the leaders in the Republican party, behave nothing like leaders, instead they choose to portray the part of well organized opportunists, possessing a mafioso style mentality in their ruthless desire to remain in power. At the Republican party convention the leaders proved how low they could stoop, fueled by the roaring cheers from their socially blind followers!

Keith Olbermann reminded the watchers of prime time news, what is expected from individuals with political power, and that being a politician is not an omnipotent right, it is a major responsibility. McCain — like the majority of the G.O.P., like to manipulate the his followers by preying on their fears. This is despicable behavior – truly unbecoming a leader. John McCain rants about how he can protect the U.S. from terrorist, which is an untruth, because he himself is a terrorist. He needs to read the definition of this word.The definition of a terrorist is: 

• a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. 
• a person who terrorizes or frightens others,pertaining to, or characteristic of terrorism or terrorists.

Today is September 11th, another day in American history that will always be one of infamy. But for the past seven years some have been using it as their own personal pawn. If this country is ever going to heal, this has to stop…and it has to stop now! The senseless loss of life should never be used as a tool for political or personal gain. If anything it should be the constant reminder of how precious life is, and how easily it can be destroyed.

“The Notorious N Word”

            There has been an ongoing debate about the social correctness of the word “nigger”, or the now popular pronunciation ”nigga” . Some are justifying the popularized version as, a harmless term of endearment, or term acknowledgement justifiably used by a few. The fact that anyone is – even having to  question the use of this word or anyone’s right to use it, is unbelievable.

It is well known that this word has ties to the slavery of Africans brought to the Americas. The word “Nigger”, is a derivative of the Spanish/Portuguese word negro meaning black. John Rolfe the husband of Pocahontas, and the first known exporter of tobacco, describes the arriving slaves as “negars”, later to become, “nigger” . For a long this word was just a description of those with dark skin. In the U.K. the word was often used to refer to those of Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Kashmiri, Indian or Sri Lankan descent. These people immediately took offense to this name.

In the Americas around the mid 1800s, this description of the African slave or their descendants, is when this word began to project its currant meaning. So in this age of “political correctness” if this word needs to be said, it is described as the “N” word. Ironically some have chosen not to allow this demoralizing word to go quietly into that good night. They have decided to slightly changed its spelling and pronunciation, then justifying the usage with a twisted right of passage.

On the television talk show “The View” two of its co-hosts of African descent (Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Sheppard) defended their use of the slang term, “Nigga”. Ms. Goldberg’s justifying its use was so contradictory and ludicrous– it was unbelievable. And what’s so amazingly oximoronic, is that many of the people that use this word, justify their usage for many of the same reasons.

Fellow co-host (Elizabeth Hasselbeck) was so outraged by Ms. Goldberg’s display of ignorance, that it drove her to tears. Her disapproval  of this words use by any– proclaiming we all live in the same world and that this word has no useful purpose, felt as if she was being mocked for her supposed inability to ever understand. Ms. Goldberg also made sure to remind her that we do not live in the same world. She was right about this because Ms. Goldberg is a citizen of the planet “Stupidia” , in the “United States of Hypocria”  were the possibility of social reform is impossible.

She began explaining to Ms. Hasselbeck why she could never understand and her right to say this by stating, “my mother could not go and vote in the United States of America, the place of her birth, but you don’t understand and I what you to, to understand the frustration that goes along with when you say we live in the same world…it isn’t balanced and we would like it to be, you have to listen, you have to understand the fact that we are trying to tell you that there are issues, there are huge problems that you got to know if you want to know us….etc” . Is it just me that believes that had no justification for using the word “nigga”?

Many have made claims and jokingly stated that Ms. Hasselbeck’s display of emotions were of over dramatized and whiny. But just fifty years ago it would be difficult to find another Caucasian woman or man, to display this level of concern for a person of African heritage, while co-hosting a nationally broadcasted television show.

Another contradiction to the popularized version of this word is that many people of African heritage that justify its usage, firmly appose any Caucasian to do the same. Believing that they have taken it away from the ones that used it negatively, and by doing so they now control its use. Being of African heritage, I consider that analogy as being dumb, for the sake of being dumb!

If someone were hitting me with bags of bile and society deemed this behavior as being politically incorrect. I am not going to start hitting myself with bile and justifying this action as me taking control of who craps on me!

Individuals that have chosen not to use this word–just forgetting about it are often called naive. That’s also idiotic! If you have a bad dream, would you want to keep having it and remembering it every time you slept? Any sane individual would choose to forget about it.

If anyone believes that the harm from this word will be forgotten–it won’t. That is why its use has been reduce to the letter “N”. That in itself is admitting to an injustice. And if anyone is still concerned about the persecution of its creators–I’m pretty sure they’re all dead.

My Theory On Conspiracy Theories.

The “Conspiracy Theory” - or what I like to call, ”The Cynic’s Bible“  has a flock of readers that is always growing. These individuals have definitely established a high ranking among the world’s constants. These worshipers seem to have a negative hypothesis to every unsettling event since man has walked the earth. It is almost as if these instigators of pessimism have discovered a euphoric form of Utopia from the ills of society.

Now I am not trying to imply that everything is perfect with the world, because there has been times when I too have doubted answers given - considering them to be questionable at best.  I am also sure that many concerns expressed by these theorist were completely accurate. And depending on how this truth affects an individual is usually the deciding factor in the birthing of one man’s fact and another ones fiction. This gives way to fanatical rantings or beliefs concocted by individuals that are not satisfied with the truth.  

If Conspiracy Theorist had a list of commandments, the would probably say:

1. Thou shalt not trust any government or its politicians.
2. Thou shalt not trust anyone that is considered to be monetarily rich, especially ones coming from old money.
3. Thou shalt not trust anything you read in history books.
4. Thou shalt not trust anyone form of news media.
5. Thou shalt not trust anyone that will not agree with everything you believe to be true.
6. If a man made tragedy occurs on a large scale, the government is responsible.
7. There is always someone out to get you.
8. Most things that are too good to be true… usually are.
9. Nobody does something for nothing.
10. If a person has a chance to take advantage of you odds suggest they will.

I have to admit that these individuals (Conspiracy theorist) provide some service. They do make it harder for the corrupt to practice their trade. And when they catch someone in the act of perpetrating an ill against society or the planet, they do hold them accountable. 70% of Americans still believe the Kennedy assassinations were a conspiracy and if proven, many will have hell on earth to pay.

But all-in-all the conspired rantings and theories are bascally the opinions of another, and if even after ones theory of a topic is debunked, everyone has a right to one, if not used in a way that is slanderous or malicious in concept, it’s called ”Free Will & Freedom of Speech”. And when the world attempts to suppress the ideology of these individuals they have in essence - become worse than the theorist.
