Some people think conspiracy theories are all false just because they are conspiracy theories. This is an extrememly ignorant and dangerous attitude and partly explains why a lot of really bad stuff is allowed to happen in this world.

Some theories are false others have merit and some are eventually proven. Use some critical analysis you bloody sheep.

The idea that a secret organisation is behind many terror attacks is not far fetched.

History is filled with conspiracy and today is no different. But the illuminati and other such theories have no merit. The big conspiracies are not real. Smaller ones are.

I dunno....

What about the Nazis?

They had their origins in occult/romantic germanic movements of the late and early 20th centuries. Many of Hitler's early mentors were occultists. They wanted to do away with Christianity and replace it with a form of Nazi mysticism, much of which was based upon a barbaric form of germanic paganism. Many elite Nazis also saw Hitler as an incarnation of Woden. Now, anyone talking about all this kind of stuff in the early 20th century would be labelled a conspiracy nut, and yet it is all demonstrably true.......Nazi obsession with 'ancient aryan artifacts', master race breeding programs, blueprints for SS temples to be erected upon ancient Saxon hillforts (including the one that Himmler already erected and his '12 knights', replete with round table n all).

As for 'illuminati', is it that hard to imagine that a group of powerful families might subscribe to some occult ideology, that is hellbent on shaping the world in their own mould, no matter what the cost to the rest of humanity? With a concept such as illuminati, it is not possible to take any of it as established fact just as it is conveniently over simplistic, but I do think it is useful tool in providing a wildly alternative view of current affairs, than the dimmed down orthodox world view that is drummed into the mainstream consciousness via the corporate media and education systems.

When the shit hits the fan maybe we will have issues with the constant supply of electricity... or issues with being able to pay for it

. So, who will run the bitcoin network?

Ah, but bitcoiner is counting on not all the shit, hitting all off the fan, all at once. Initial crumbling economies won't be powerful USD hegemony compliant economies. It will be weak economies, and/or non USD hegemony compliant economies...i.e. BRICS nations....especially the big two.

Uh.. with that logic any political party or ideology is conspiratorial ... I guess it comes to what realization level you are at Wink

I remember the time I realized that Santa did not exist. I can not go back on that knowledge and believe in Santa again. Same for a lot of realizations during life. You guys read way to much in to chaos.

I think it is simple. We humans/primates live in groups. We get sick mentally if we are shunned by the group we want to belong to, and if rejected, will try to find new groups. Young males will find an alpha male that they follow. If a leader of a group does something, the members will emulate that. It is that simple. The rest is just noise and fluff. We are primates that live in tribes. Even in a city or urban area, we are tribes. Your tribe is your friends. Tribes want to dominate other tribes, but we also cooperate. I think humans are altruistic because of evolution. It has been the best way for us to gather the energy our carbon based life need. Life is just a struggle for energy, and we need a lot. There is no God, there is no plan. There is just here and now. When the tribal structures became to complex, we created law and human rules. Oh no, I am ranting.. I do not think anyone cares for reality. So sorry.
