Machinations are not the same as conspiracies

Well-meaning people direct the close minded to my blog. The usual response is, “It’s just a bunch of conspiracy theories.” No. I write about machinations, not conspiracies. Here’s the difference. Conspiracy: a secret plan that two or more people hatch in order to do something harmful or illegal. Machination: a complicated secret plan. Guess who…

Movies and television are entertainment, not manuals

My favorite art form is film. Movies. When I watch movies, I get lost in them. And yet I’ve never once thought that a film or TV character was someone to emulate. Unfortunately much—most?—of the world behaves as though it’s starring in a blockbuster film. Political movies I hate politics. My involvement in politics began…

Government can easily hide whatever it wants

Despite what people call me, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. The Snowden Test disproves virtually all of the old standbys. However, government can indeed operate clandestinely when the stakes are high enough. The military exercises held in the American Southwest during the summer of 2015 prove that the conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the JFK…

Conspiracy, confusion, attention whoring, or politics?

People tell me that my posts are “conspiracy theories.” No. I write about military deception (MILDEC) and clandestine operations to IMPROVE the world. If I think that several nations are secretly cooperating to destroy the Islamic State, that isn’t a conspiracy theory, since a conspiracy is by definition two or more people agreeing to do…

The hilarious irony of conspiracy theories

I’ve been called a conspiracy theorist. That’s deeply stupid. Everything I write is based on examining open-source material and genuine forensic evidence. I don’t make up crap, such as accusing the Israelis of using dense inert-metal explosive (DIME) weapons. Also, I apply the Snowden Test to all conspiracy theories: A silly fabulist who doesn’t even…

Not conspiracy theories: mysteries

I’ve said before that I don’t believe in the classic conspiracy theories. None of them survive the Snowden Test. If there were giant secret operations being carried out by thousands of people, at least one of them would’ve provided irrefutable evidence by now. Edward Snowden doesn’t even have a high-school diploma, but he penetrated the…

Not all conspiracy theories are equal

Last night while I slept—having a wonderful dream about discovering a photo album full of priceless postcards of World War I flamethrowers—the word went out on Twitter to label me a conspiracy theorist. Saying that certain ideas are nothing but conspiracy theories allows the accuser to not address troubling notions. In this case the Twits…

This is why I debunked the Islamic State video

My post “The Islamic State did not burn the Jordanian pilot alive” made a lot of people angry. They said that I was trying to minimize Islamic State savagery, and that the post denigrated the courage of Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot Lieutenant Moath Youssef al-Kasasbeh. If you actually read the post, you saw that…

No, I’m not a “truther”

From the beginning of Operation Protective Edge, people accused me of being a demented conspiracy theorist. That’s fine, but the reality is that I don’t believe in any of the classic conspiracy theories. Someone called me a “truther,” which originates from the “9/11 truth” movement. Well, we already know the truth bout 9/11: Khaled Sheik…

Snowden test disproves all conspiracy theories

You can think Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor. Either categorization is accurate, depending on your criteria. The most important thing about him is that he unwittingly created the Snowden Test, which proves that most if not all conspiracy theories are bogus. Choose any one of the many out there. 1. The government…
