According to Lauren Cox from ABC news, you're all mentally ill!

No mention of AJ.  They don't want people going to his site.

Look at the picture they used

And all of those 'conspiracies' have been proven to be a secret agenda. That's typical of the media tards, since they still think the world is flat because Rockefeller told them so.

Maybe I'm giving Lauren too much credit:

"Seeing as how there are no other important stories occurring either in America or abroad, ABC News has run a story on paper cuts, and why they hurt so much. Yes, you read that correctly. Lauren Cox from the ABC News Medical Unit vividly details the act of receiving a paper cut while “opening the mail,” and “rummaging through notes,” only to report that, “Nobody really knows the answer” as to why they hurt so much. ****ing genius. I would love to have been in the room with her and her editor when she walked in smiling — perhaps even showing off a fresh paper cut — and said she had a great idea for a story. I’d also like to have been present at the moment she told her editor, “None of my sources are really sure why they hurt so much, but ‘there are a few good theories!’.” What a completely ****ing useless story. And that, my friends, is why I’ve taken my college degrees in Communications and English and strayed far, far away from journalism. It’s a f**king retarded profession, and 98% of journalists are equally as retarded. Paper cuts."

LOL now that's funny.... 

[TheGoodFight1984]

Fine, I'd rather be classed as mentally ill by the establishment than wander around not questioning anything and accepting everything I was spoon fed.

Let's talk psychology then shall we.

Defense Mechanisms.

Repression: Undesirable information is pushed to the unconscious so we don't have to deal with painful thoughts or memories. A form of 'forgetting'.

Denial: Closely related to repression - only in this form the person refuses to accept the reality of a situation. Can become dangerous if denial is used too much.

Projection: A combo of denial and displacement, again the result of repression - only this time the person is unable to recognise the reality of their own behaviour.

Rationalization: The person finds excuses that are more acceptable than the real reason. Used to cover mistakes, lack of paying attention etc. Some extreme cases can involve inventing volumes of lies to avoid personal responsibility and guilt.

Narcissism: Where the ego becomes so self-absorbed that it can no longer relate to the outside world.

Take your pick!

[jannerbob]

James Thornwell really was mentally ill but that is because the American Army conducted interrogation experiments on him using LSD.

Congress do not give out $625000 to conspiracy theorists.Of course Iran Contra never happened either i imagined it just like i imagined the Lavon affair and the Gleiwitz incident.No i am not insane,the insane people are those that see the emperor with no clothes on and admire his suit.

[TheHouseMan]

People, just remember the Ghandi quote: "First they ignore you, then the laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win".

I'd say we're in between stages 2 and 3 right now.

But honestly, I couldn't give a shit. No one cares about some article ABC news posts. Nobody cares.

[TheHouseMan]

I also love how they keep bringing up a story of gang rape... I mean, what?! What does this have to do with anything??!

It's also backwards when they say conspiracy theorists are "suggestible". We are the opposite. The dumbed down idiots are the suggestible ones, falling prey to nice hand motions and hot babes on TV, believing their every word.

ABC News, so last century

[Freeski]

There's so much one could say about this nonsense, but for one, they approach the story from the angle that conspiracies are kooky; they want to put us in the right frame of mind. They paint a picture of Icke - the way they want him to be perceived - but they never touch on the new world order. Extremely lazy journalism or active propaganda?

[BlueBaron]

They are setting the public up by putting them in the right mindset not to question when they round up the dissenters and put them in mental institutions, pump them full of drugs and send them all mad or just kill them. Eveaway the public won't say much.

This is just the start of a long campain, there will also find a real kook and get a few psychiatrists to do studies on him and make up false data to present as a basis to start rounding up the dissenters up.

These guys are good, they leave no stone unturned on there quest to make Hitler a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize, well compaired to them anyway.

Once again my considered response to The Beast is this "FUK U".

The Ministrey of Truth as spoken to the masses so it must be true. Truth is Madness, War is Peace, Security is Restriction of Freedoms and Rights.

Hail The New World Order, Hail our Hidden Masters, we are not worthy to even know their identity because we are but lowly scum. Forgive me Big Brother for the Thought Crime, Maybe The Queen or George could have mercy on me and give me a Pardon.

But how the f**k can you or anyone know everything? There's too much going on. Every subject requires a lifetime of research. It's immense! Big picture?

My response from another thread with a similar question:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok, look...

There is no "big picture" so to speak.  There is no "whole thing" that needs to be figured out with total perfection.  There are gaps, misfires, change of plans, fluid motion, and massive amounts of dis/mis information.  As soon as we try and find the "one thing" responsible for the mess we are in, we play into their hands.  There is no "one thing" (some people may simply regard it as evil, that may fit as evil constantly changes its appearace; flows from one entity to another - I think there was a movie trying to analogize this phenomenon) to put your finger on and say "a-ha" now I have the answer. 

This is a grand chessgame played by elites where we are cannon fodder.  Just follow the money and the crimes, they all lead to Rockefeller/Rothschild/Beatrix/CFR/Bilderberg (I am open to being wrong about this, but that is what I see).  Are there some people that are in the CFR that have no clue about the underlying agenda? Sure.  Are there some members of these elite families that have not been complete psycopathic and genocidal maniacs? Absolutely.   And have all of there plans come true in exactly the same timeframe they wished it? Absolutely not, they make mistakes all the time.  But when you look at the structures they use to deny individual liberty, it is painfully obvious who has been doing what. 

There are simple things to look for when trying to make sense of this current surreal environment we live in. They wish to destroy national sovereignty, they wish to destroy freedom of religion, they wish to destroy the family, they wish to demoralize the people (a demoralized people will not fight as hard, what exactly would they be fighting for), they wish to blame a group of people for individual acts (part of the divide and conquer tactics), and they wish confuse the hell out of all of us...

They are bombarding us with so much nonsense that we are almost paralyzed to make sense of it all.  Please review the video from the KGB expert on psyops warfare, I think he explains it perfectly.  Only a small percentage is dedicated to targeted disinformation, the rest of psyops (which we are all under thanks to the lovely war powers act and Bush's 2.5 illegal and unconstitutional wars) is to just bombard us with so much information that we will be unable to understand truthful threats even if they are made public.  Look at Cheney bragging about torture, or the Mumbai false flag, or the bailout.  It is working quite well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The video I was referring to...

The communist agenda in America exposed by a senior psyops director at the KGB:
Soviet Deception: Demoralization of the West

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=915448763957391352

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a while, you get seasoned on chaos theory.

You see how they set up repetitive stories with agendas.

You eventually can sniff out the bullshit a mile away.

But the main thing is to be active in communicating within your own communities.  People are waking up exponentially, and they also need to understand the psycopaths behind "problem/reaction/solution" and other deceptive propaganda that keeps us divided and ignorant.

[David Rothscum]

It seems to have worked quite well. That's why everyone is always talking about Hal Turner's unproven and always factually inaccurate crap, he has been proven to be an FBI plant:
http://www.truthnews.us/?p=1683
It'd also explain why people blame the Jesuits, the Knights of Malta, the  Khazarian Jews, the Talmud, the reptillians, etcetera...
Actually most of that is probably just stupidity and people mixing hatred they were brought up with with the truth, but i'm sure you all get the point. Hal Turner has been proven to be an FBI agent, and all he posts is crap. NAU coins, quadruple witching days, I could go on and on.

[chris jones]

She focuses on the details that can give leverage to the idea. To be over the edge.

It's fine with me if she beleives we are mentally ill. Hey, we beleived in the constitution, where is it, we beleived in justice, we did not want an invasion of an innocent nation =WMd's.

They are paid to write, were not. I hope she got a good paycheck, more power to her.

Its obvious she should go to Iraq or Afghanistan and convince them the US Gov.  are righteous. In fact I recomend it.

She has no conscience, maby she would find one if  she took that trip.  I wonder if she recieved a peice of the bail out money.

She beleives in genocide, the new America, bomb them and ask questions later. 896,000 dead innocents. If she goes that way, accepts this, promotes this, and has nothing on her agenda to get money that ridicule truthers, she is a wasted skinsack.

[Pheonix Renewed]

It's cognitive dissonance reduction. The human mind has a powerful mechanism aimed at protecting and shielding them from learning that the person might: 1. be wrong (with the psychological 'you lose' concept attached to it); or 2. have believed the wrong thing with absolute certainty; or 3. become embarassed in some way by what they believed which turned out to be not true; or 4. any other occurance where the person must admit to an incorrect action, choice, or belief.

This is why you see people make strange justifications for things, like believing that anyone who believes 911 was an inside job. It's easier to believe the other person is nuts, thus justifying not hearing what they are saying and ignoring them in case they are right, than it is to say, "you know, maybe you're right (and thus me wrong)."

This, of course, can extend to any aspect of life, religion, politics, whatever. It's unusual to see someone change religions (though not unusual to adopt one if you don't already have one), or to see them change political party affiliations. This is due to cognitive dissonance reduction, in great part. As is this sort of article, that excuses not listening to, or thinking about, the questions or alternatives that have been raised.

The problem with CDR is that it's pretty tough to know who's practicing the CDR in any given conversation. In this particular case, the science is on our side with regards to 911. But in some cases, such as religion or philosophy or even psychology (medical sciences in general), it's less cut-and-dried.

Easy medical example: When Pasteur died, he recanted, stating that it's actually the "environment" that matters, not the "invaders." In other words, a healthy immune system doesn't need pasteurized milk. You won't get sick with a healthy immune system, even if you forget to wash your hands after you go to the toilet.

But by this time, the entire medical system had embraced his germ theory so completely, that while they embraced his early research, they entirely ignored and discredited his further research that showed his original research was correct only in a very unhealthy specimen to begin with.

Further supporting this fact is Dr. Bruce Lipton's research, which proves without a doubt the fallacy of DNA as absolute determiner of our illnesses or phsyical appearance (etc.). However, this research is simply ignored. It's not debunked, not dismissed... simply ignored. This is a clear and obvious demonstration of CDR in action.

There are all kinds of demonstrations of it to be found, lol. One among many, one among many. I showed someone I know conclusive proof that the government is socializing the banking system (The bailout bill). What did she say? "No, they're not. Why would they do that, it doesn't make sense!" That was the end of that. If she couldn't figure out why, it wasn't happening, pure and simple...

I wish just one time, JUST ONE TIME, one of these repeaters, erhm, reporters would actually be a journalist and do some investigative work. I see all of these authors slamming the movement but why not just investigate the fact and say "well, from my research these people are all nuts" or, "from my research I've found a lot of valid points that have been brought up". But no... it's the same as saying "the earth is flat, EVERYONE knows that. I can't believe anyone would think it's round. They are kooky conspiracy theorists!"

I think there is going to come a time when these "repeaters" are going to have to run and or hide their sorry ass for lying to the people. They should be hung in Town.

[Elvis]

Have you noticed the catch phrase "global warming" now seems to incorporate all pollution? "Global warming" doesn't mean anything to a three-eyed fish. But now they have us arguing as to whether pollution even exists under this buzz word phrase. And from a "scorched earth policy," they have moved corporate ecological responsibility to a ridiculous  debate that will eventually resolve itself as being our fault because we exist, and another reason to tax us. Pretty clever, eh?

[Volitzar]

Like anyone is going to list to NWO media.

[Elvis]

I remember when we first were going into Iraq, the French voted down intervention in the U.N., so an animosity started in the U.S. toward the French. I heard people bringing up examples of why the French people as a group were "bad". It seemed to escalate. I began receiving email from some of my enthusiastic American friends listing are the reasons why the French should be dead. Eugenics think tanks hard at work? Was this a sample of how Nazi Germany began?

First of all, I'm part French. Second of all, ask Pres. Washington; if it weren't for the French, there would be no United States of America. Sure, their main objective was to stick it to the English, but the results led to the U.S. of A. Last but not least, I knew an older gentleman who who wore a French beret and would bring us French bread every day. He was quite a character, very full of life, even in his eighties. He also was an American war hero. He was the only U.S. pilot in world war II to take down a German jet with a U.S. war plane. From what I remember, there were five U.S. planes in flight that were suddenly attacked by the new Nazi jets. They had never seen them before. The jets took out four of the five planes, and then they dropped low , hoping not to be detected so they could move on. My friend was the only one who escaped. You could say he lost his mind with anger. He went into a straight down power dive to gain speed, pulled it up and came in behind the jets, taking one out. He went after the others but they escaped with their superior speed. A shining example of determination.

I remember one day in one of our talks, he told me something I have never forgotten:

"The criminal bastards who run things, they've always been there. The only difference between then and now is that they have become much more sophisticated."

Mr. Potter from "It's A Wonderful Life" immediately came to mind. He squinted his eyes, lifted his head, looked up at me and smiled. I never forgot it, but it's taken me twenty years to fully understand what he was saying.

The question is: how deep does the rabbit hole go? How many levels of "mind screw" have they developed? Do you believe because you understand a part of their agenda that you are immune from it? Vaccinated?

Any simplistic generalization that a large group of people fervently buy into by default sends a red flag my way. The controllers love bandwagons; once it gets rolling, it's easy for them to push it over the cliff. 7!

What's Behind Internet Conspiracy Empires?
As Conspiracy Communities Grow, Mental Health Docs Are Left With Big Questions

By LAUREN COX
ABC News Medical Unit
Dec. 12, 2008

EXCERPT:

The Internet has always been a forum for fringe ideas, but success like Icke's, and subcultures built on paranoid theories like gang stalkers, points to an understudied corner in psychiatry: Who are the people who believe such theories in the quiet of their homes, and what does such behavior mean for a person teetering on the edge of mental illness?

"It's not an area that has been studied very well," said Angus MacDonald, a spokesperson for the mental health charity NARSAD, and an associate professor of psychology at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

MacDonald cautioned that not everyone who believes in a conspiracy plot is mentally ill. They just may be suggestible or just suspicious of authority.




For the healthy in mind, MacDonald said, "it's a wild card about whether this is going to improve people's state or not. It may turn out that the value of the community is greater than the destructive nature of the narratives that are spun out of them.

"But on the same point, this is a domain that didn't need more wild cards," he added.

Whether or not conspiracy theories harm people who are susceptible to mental illness is a matter of debate among psychiatrists.

"Most people with major mental illness don't believe in conspiracy theories," said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance of Mental Illness.

Duckworth likes to imagine a Venn diagram with one circle representing people with paranoid psychosis and another circle representing people who believe conspiracy theories.

"They do overlap, but I can't tell you how big the overlap is," he said. "And, lizard people? Many people who are hearing voices would think that's crazy."

Duckworth argued that most mentally ill people create conspiracy theories that are self-centric, such as, "the mailman is after me," not inclusive such as, "the postal workers are all out to get us by 2015."

But others who treat schizophrenics and people with paranoia think there is a risk in circulating online conspiracies.

"Paranoid is wide category -- it's another way of being separate with reality -- but in our culture, we've made it synonymous with persecutory delusions," said MacDonald.

According to MacDonald, most delusions begin with general, unexplained feelings of discontent that are caused by a problem with the brain. It's only when someone tries to search for an explanation for their feelings that a delusion forms.

"Then over time, the delusions become crystallized -- meaning they take on particular narratives, story lines and people's motives begin to be fleshed out," said MacDonald. "When one thing isn't explained, it's never abandoned. The plot just thickens ... and you credit your persecutor with a tremendous amount of power."

MacDonald said it can make it difficult to do talk therapy when delusional people feed their story from outside sources or find evidence with other conspiracy plots.

"You're sitting across from your therapist and they say, 'Well why would they do all of this?' And you've got the answers because you've studied online," he said.
