Anyone else noticing that the range of websites being labeled "conspiracy theory sites" seems to be expanding to include just about anything that isn't US Mainstream Media (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, PBS, Fox, and their subsidiaries)?

It used to be that only the few openly conspiracy oriented sites were labeled this, but now... I'm seeing anything that defies the MSM message being labeled "conspiracy theory website".

The mainstream media has a narrative to which they all adhere. Anything that doesn't fit the narrative is labeled conspiracy theory, lunatic fringe, terrorism, racism, extremism, and then it can be dismissed as though it didn't exist. Their reporters exist in a hall of mirrors and do nothing but bounce back and forth the same canned talking points that they've been told they are permitted to speak.

Care to tell me how the Jews feel about this?

Smug and sociopathic as usual.

Its funny when you realize how much of a monopoly the mainstream "news" has when it comes to portraying the world the way they want us to see. And you wonder why they want to quash the internet so bad

All we're doing here is exchanging words ... and the elite can't stand it. They want us killed, or in prisons, or drugged to the gills, or otherwise silenced by any means necessary. The entire "war" against supposed terrorism has been a campaign to limit individual freedoms. It never had anything much to do with terrorism. Terror was just the excuse to control and oppress.

I liken out situation to a woman who is being violently raped, and who starts to struggle and scream. What's the first thing the rapist does? Right. He puts his hand over her mouth. If she keeps it up and cannot break free of his control, eventually he may strangle her to keep her quiet. That's us, people. We better keep on struggling, and make sure we break free.

I like how Russia Times was labelled "The Kremlins Mouthpiece" when MSM decided they didn't like them.

anything that isn't the MSM is a conspiracy, because the MSM is the only news the American people can trust.

i do not know if you caught my sarcasm. i have a very thorough understanding pf the propaganda that the MSM has been producing.

Unofficial statement from a mod who's been observing this account. It appears to be a bot/novelty account which supplies supplemental information to messages which are on target. Sometimes it posts its own root comment, other times, it responds to an existing comment. Odds are (just from my observation) you won't get a response.

tl;dr: I'm sure that whoever is operating that account caught your sarcasm. The comment wasn't addressed to you, rather it was posted in support of you. I'll probably watch this thread to see if I'm right.

FUCK YES! THIS IS WHAT BEING A MOD IS ABOUT!!!! THANK YOU!

No longer a mod.

What happened?

Looks like I got my point across.

...Huh?

Nothing to fret over. Just a little bit of drama.

well i sure am glad he took the time to make the comment. hopefully others will see it and use the information accordingly.

I also have noticed that google will label those sites as potentially harmful.

Examples?

It may just be that there are a growing number of "conspiracy theory sites" that I'm unaware of. I just seem to see this as a more common initial point of "debunking" (discredit the site, rather than the content).

I realize some sites are conspiracy theory sites: all of Alex Jones' sites, godlikeproductions, etc.

Is any site that references the NWO now considered a conspiracy theory site (despite the fact that Kissinger introduced the phrase and Reagan, Bush1, Clinton, and Bush2 have all referenced it in public speeches)?

I won't give a long list, but the one that drew my attention to this was truedemocracyparty.net. Is it a conspiracy theory site? Or is it being labeled as such solely for the purpose of discrediting it?

the term 'new world order' have been in existence since well before kissinger used it.

While true, Kissinger was the one who introduced it into mainstream media, while he was Secretary of State under Nixon. He was the one who made it acceptable for subsequent Presidents to use the phrase in that same media environment. I wasn't claiming he invented it.

Honestly, there are just so many conspiracy sites growing it's insane.

Alex Jones, David Icke and crew have shown how much of a cash cow conspiracy sites can be, so people are taking advantage.

I'm starting to believe that some of those guys said something a long time ago, realized how many people followed them, and now just keep it up because if they stopped being so radical, they'd make far less money.

Pop reference; Sort of like how T-Pain doesn't actually sing.

how much of a cash cow conspiracy sites can be

Yeh, and nobody ever acknowledges that these sites in themselves are being conspiratorial producing the news they deliver(MSM or Alternative). The term conspiracy is a non-issue, we have all just been conditioned to believe if it is used, it means something wacko or crazy. Everyone of us participates in a conspiracy everyday. It is inevitable, whether it is in our jobs or pursuing an education.

The Conspiracy/Paranoia Trap

Jesus guys, get a fucking grip. No! In fact people mostly click Facebook links, and believe whatever they read, which is also awful.

Conspiracies abound in this topsy turvy world.
