I thank all of you for providing multiple points of view for news. With propaganda on multiple sides, every point of view counts to weed out fallacies and stupidity. Thank you.

Just never stop questioning sources and their motivation, even here. Great alternative source for outside points of view for sure though. Not many places left to civilly discuss topics like these.
5 Jac0b777 2015-11-20
Yep, I agree. Always question everything, whether it's written in the alternative or mainstream media. Only by putting the pieces together and using some common sense, intuition and critical discernment, can you come to the actual truth behind any topic.
There is so much information nowadays and that in itself makes the amount of disinformation and misinformation enormous.
2 metabolix 2015-11-20
And also uphold civility and the freedom to discuss opinions openly and freely.

STFU!!!!.... jk. LOL.
4 imnothatguy 2015-11-20
because most of the reddit subs are heavily censored by the establishment(so they are certainly being lied to, how the hell do the mods live with themselves), this sub should be made a default sub, or word HAS to spread about it so that ppl subscribe to it. They are being manipulated and lied to. They have the right to know.
edit: the mods on this sub should know what they're facing. If this sub gets too popular, it would be easy to shut it down. Just get a bunch of a$$-clowns to come in here to make a bunch of submissions that would have the sub shut down
2 anonymity_ftw 2015-11-20
That last part about the assclowns has already happened and still is. When there's large pushes to this subreddit you see an increase in the amount of bullshit posted, especially topics that would discredit the users here (such as the earth is flat LOL).

/r/conspiracy does get hijacked regularly. It's worth it, though, because it gives the sub more attention. Good attention, that is. And whenever we get hijacked, subscriber count increases more than usual because some people come here looking to bash whatever tin foil hatter they can find, but end up learning more than they expected.
2 anonymity_ftw 2015-11-20
Definitely agree. It's a battle, but continuing the fight is the only way to truly spread awareness and a cultural revolution.
1 FieryAriess44 2015-11-20
I feel like people have been trained/conditioned to automatically mock or disregard anyone who speaks of conspiracies, even if the facts are there to backup what's being said. Its terribly frustrating but there does seem to be a very real mental block that I honestly don't know can be undone.
1 Secruoser 2015-11-20
Sometimes it does get tiring though. When we think about it, the fact that we have to question the actions of institutions that are supposed to represent people is ridiculous.
I strongly feel that our socio-economic system has everything to do with making people behave the way the are, and overhauling the system is the only way to improve the society and evolve ourselves to a better civilization.

And for the rest of you, Big Brother thanks you for your compliance and unwavering faith in Team USA

*Team Israel.
7 bozobozo 2015-11-20
Same difference.
3 Geralt23 2015-11-20
It needs to be stated that the true culprit for all of this is Israel. Once they will bring down the USA as the world superpower, Israel will become the successor. This is why people need to know today that Israel is the real enemy all along.
2 CelineHagbard 2015-11-20
I'd argue that states are no longer the controlling actors in global geopolitics, but rather it is powerful individuals and families with no patriotic allegiances who use states to further their goals. It's not the average Israeli who is the enemy, but their deep state.
-5 nonorat 2015-11-20
Israel as a superpower? Bwahaahahahahahaha!

6 slim_ironwood 2015-11-20
Also, always be on edge in regards to controlled opposition. There are many characters out there who appear to be vigilantes for truth and justice, but are only meant to pacify you into thinking that good is on the verge of triumph. There is no change without individual action.

We all live in this same world, most just have their eyes closed to their true surroundings. Don't be narrow-minded.
2 slim_ironwood 2015-11-20
Take Alex Jones for example. Here's a guy who has always sat on the fringe, and has exposed a lot of government corruption. Recently, InfoWars has suddenly made a shift closer to the mainstream media, and Jones is now endorsing popular presidential candidates he was slaughtering on air a few years ago. They refuse to entertain the idea of hoax shootings.
Jones has been accused by many of having connections to the CIA and intentionally steering those who enter the world of alternative media down the wrong path.
Sorry if it seems crazy to you. To assume the massively wealthy military-industrial complex has never spent a dime on spreading misinformation is quite the blissful pipe dream we'd all love to live.
4 jimmyb207 2015-11-20
Jones has shifted towards the main stream because his once faithful following, me included, got tired of his lies mixed with truth. He has Zionist connections and has proven to be a gate keeper for Israel's involvement in 9/11.

Never believe in coincidences my friend.
-3 metabolix 2015-11-20
You must not believe in the "big bang" then?
5 know_comment 2015-11-20
Most people here probably don't "believe" in the big bang theory. it's a possible model but doesn't explain explain the singularity itself or what came before. It really just explains the evolution of the known universe, not the origin.
2 DennyCH 2015-11-20
For me I just find things like this more... Pressing or important than how the universe started

If you believe in the simulated reality theory, and in something magical like spooky action at a distance, then it does make sense.

1 H1N11 2015-11-20
Oh i dont know about that.. Many here are falling for that hype. Too many. If something seems too good to be true, 9/10 times it is. bernie is no different. If he does become prez, i hope he ends up being legit and not selling us out like obama and bush did

You're not wrong. I'd like to think someone like trump wouldn't care though and still go against their grain. But hey, when you come face to face with the lizards, it'd be hard to maintain your composure

To me he just sounds like a plush doll that repeats the same 10 phrases over and over
I want to believe but he's just so vague. Please just do us all a favor Bernie and lay out your tax plan. Show us specifics of how you're gping to magically uncorrupt Wall Street. We get it, you wanna save the middle class, but HOW? Give us the deets
And quit trying to make America Denmark. We have cities with bigger populations than that entire country. And they don't exactly have a bible belt to deal with

I would like to echo OP's sentiment's here. Thank you guys, whoever you are or whatever your angle is. It is refreshing to see different opinions, and as importantly to see alternate views being expressed on reddit.
It's why I keep coming back here, but let's not all blow out our shoulders patting ourselves on the back. There's always going to be work to do, regardless of who controls the media or who pulls on the strings of power.
0 H1N11 2015-11-20
Dont trust anything you read here. For every 1 grain of truth rarely found, there is 10 lies of disinformation spread by paid PR firms. Thats the shills you hear about. Its honestly gotten bad here now because questioning what everyone else is thinking here will get YOU called a shill. Try out voat.co they have a good conspiracy subverse too like this one, but with less of a userbase so less disinfo. Always question what you read. Question me even. Im an asshole so im used to it. Happy hunting
0 [deleted] 2015-11-20
Nice Voat plug. So, you're saying that we should go to /v/conspiracy because /r/conspiracy bans users for personally attacking others? Why would you want to be in a sub were personal attacks are part of the discourse? Isn't this, literally, the agreed-on lowest form of debate? You can say v/conspiracy is a good alternative to checkout, it's wonderful, 'Just Do It', but to imply that it's better because of a plethora of people calling others shills is just not logical.
0 H1N11 2015-11-20
...eh what? What the fuck? What are you on about? Im saying i prefer voat's forum because theres less shills and dummies.. I think were on the same side here but you're really comin at me sideways
