Conspiracy and Consensus

Conspiracy research is exciting, stimulating, infuriating and exhausting.

The world operates on conspracy...oh yes it does. For those of you now rolling your eyes, your skepticism merely reveals a lack of thorough consideration because it is not a matter of whether or not you believe in conspiracies - it is a matter of which conspiracies you believe.

For example, nearly everyone believes World War Two was the result of a conspiracy. Most view the conspiracy as including the Axis powers and a plan to dominate Europe, Asia and perhaps the world. Far fewer see the war as a result of machinations of a cabal of bankers, politicians, and the like who manipulated and then profited from the carnage.

Even in the case of this example, what is deemed historical "fact" and what is conspiracy "theory" is determined by consensus reality - and consensus reality is shaped by the information available and a cultural pressure to conform.

Still, even mainstream, pop culture history, reveals the heretofor hidden information that should move the consensus reality to another position and yet, more often than not, there is no movement.

Eventually, a lot of the nuggets unearthed by conspracy researchers make it into the mainstream, sometimes even become consensus reality, and yet nothing seems to change.

Why is that?

Perhaps it is because there is another consensus which overrides even an understanding that all is not right: consensus conformity.

Consensus conformity is the recognition that truth is irrelevant to success and achievement within the world system. This is the essence of the game, the darkest of the conspiracies, the road to hell.

In order to gain acceptance it is necessary to willingly suspend knowledge and promote, defend, publish what is self-evidently untrue. See this is the soul sacrifice, because an innocent cannot be turned until he is aware and voluntarily rejects what he knows to be true.

Does this help explain why grass roots movements fail?

I've rewritten this reply three times. To be brief, you are right. The consensus of the power brokers for the status quo allows the elite to channel grassroots movements away from the central power issues. All this without any overt conspiracy.

Perhaps, Dan, as much as it is the PTB affecting the movements, it is the desire to belong which allows it to happen. Fear of being alone, fear of being outcast, fear...fear is a great motivator.
