Need to Know Basis: You Only Know What the TV Wants You to Know

For people who consider themselves “awake” to the nonsensical idiocy being parroted in the 24/7 mainstream mind-melting cycle, almost nothing that happens these days seems to fit the definition of “real” or “believable.” Everything needs to be double-checked. Trust but verify.

That’s not the mind of a paranoid conspiracy theorist as the talking heads in charge might claim. No, that’s called critical thinking, a skill that I like to fantasize was once prized and even encouraged in this society back in some magical day.

It means a person makes reasoned judgements based on taking a factual assessment of any given situation before deciding to allow their brain cells to accept what they are told simply because someone with a suit, a fancy backdrop and a practiced intonation said it on a screen.

The law protects conspiracy theory claims that lack any proof whatsoever.Why then do people believe in conspiracies more than anything else?

That will tell you everything you need to know!

Because there are no laws against imaginary things, 1:19! How would one prove a negative? There are people out there that have turned common jet vapor trails that have existed since the invention of the jet engine into a "Chemtrails" conspiracy theory. It's hilarious to those of us who learned of these in the '50's, but idiots of today follow the CT's "videos" as gospel of government doping either climate change, or the dumbing down of society through the dropping of metal flakes or other chemicals.

Believe me, the Board of Education is accomplishing that on a grand scale; we don't need any "chemicals" in the sky to make out classrooms any dumber!

Now, we have Common Core!
