Part 1
Once
upon a time there was a Conspiracy Theory Zealot who was
obsessed with suspicions and paranoia. Fred believed every whacko theory
he read that explained “what really happened” about every major
tragedy and triumph in civilization for the last 1000 years. His
co-workers called him, “Chicken Little” because every new media
headline was another reason to speak about doom at the hands of the global
conspirators. His fellow workers would listen to him for two or three
sentences and then taunt, “The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”
Fred
was anti-government and anti-tax and was convinced that newspapers and TV
news were controlled by the powers that be. He had spent time
researching the conspiracy theories of the Marxists, the Nazis, John Birch
Society, the Lyndon Larouchies, the Black Muslims, Spotlight Magazine, and
many, many other individualized speculations. He knew all about the
various players in these various conspiracy theories: The Knights Templar,
the Sufis, the Freemasons, the Popes, the Illuminati, the Marxists, Order
of the Skull & Bones, the Nazis, The Rothschilds, the Federal Reserve
System, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Order of the
Skull & Bones, J. P. Morgan, The Rockefellers, the Round Table Groups,
Bilderbergers, Bohemian Grove, and The Bush family.
Fred
had his own theories for the betrayal of the Knights Templar, the American
Revolution, the French Revolution, the murder of Captain Morgan,
Lincoln’s assassination, Garfield’s assassination, McKinley’s
assassination, Kennedy’s assassination, blowing up the battleship Maine,
the burning of the Reichstag, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Watergate, the
murders of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, & Robert Kennedy, the
Vatican banking scandal, the murder of Pope John Paul I, the murder of Princess Diana, the murder of JFK
junior, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City, and 9-11.
As
whacko as Fred was, even he didn’t want to be distracted by foolishness
about space aliens and big foot. And he didn’t appreciate the hatred of
racists and people who blamed the Jews for everything. Fred was
very uncomfortable
with some of those he inadvertently rubbed shoulders with… neo-nazis,
the anti-Semitic, violent militias, extreme tax protestors, racists.
Part 2
But Fred was a mess. His obsession with
conspiracy theories brought him continual anguish. He had no peace. As a
building contractor he had been brought to near bankruptcy more than once
by the back stabbing of what he called the “brotherhood”. His attempts
to earn a living was a continual struggle, he was convinced, because of
the “good ol’ boy network”. Every daily newspaper headline was
frustrating to him. The latest stories about the latest media hype was
only pablum for the masses. The news events that the establishment media
focused on were designed to distract from the real issues. The analysis of
the establishment media was so obviously bogus. It burned Fred how the
super-rich manipulated the masses and used them as “serfs on their
plantation”.
