• Re-claiming Conspiracy Theory I am of the STRONG opinion that we need to re-claim the terms conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorist and not let people use the terms negatively, derogatorily, dismissively, and irrationally. One should not have to point out that the GeoEngineering Aerosol Spraying scenario (and related issues) is a conspiracy theory, but people often seem to have trouble wrapping their minds around simple facts, especially in regard to anything that looks, sounds, smells, or might possibly be a so-called conspiracy theory. It is a conspiracy theory because obviously more than one person has conspired to enact the events about which we are concerned. It is literally that simple. That is the actual definition of a conspiracy (2 or more people), and if you think a conspiracy occurred, you have a conspiracy theory, and you are a conspiracy theorist. In that sense, we are all conspiracy theorists, who believe in one conspiracy theory or another in regard to the Anti-GeoEngineering Movement issue. Unfortunately, the American people have been trained (near-brainwashed) to think about conspiracies, and theories about them, and those that suggest or support those theories, as if they are immediately false and have no value or merit. This is the definition of irrationality and is a very dangerous situation. What would happen if this were always true? What would happen to our legal system and laws regarding conspiracies, such as Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Conspiracy to Commit Fraud, Conspiracy to Commit Arson, General Criminal Conspiracy, the RICO statutes, and others? What if you went to the police and told them that you think two (or more) people murdered a loved one, and they immediately dismissed your complaint, saying, Sorry, we dont deal with conspiracy theories and conspiracy theorists, and sent you on your way? People must remind themselves and be conscious of the fact that so-called conspiracy theories, both criminal and benign, happen every day, all day long, all around the world. From the criminal conspiracies mentioned above, to unethical situations where co-workers plot to negatively affect a persons job or career status, to young people planning to skip 5th period at high school and go off campus (with their parents, teachers, and/or principal thinking they did), to people throwing someone a surprise birthday party. Conspiracies come in many shapes and forms. The question regarding any conspiracy, and a theory about it, concerns whether it is a false conspiracy (some are), or conspiracy fact (some are). Of course, we all know of many famous conspiracies, as well, that were initially conspiracy theories and were eventually proven to be conspiracy fact (and some/many disproved), enacted by both individuals and the government and related groups. A few examples are: The Watergate Break-in (where would we be if reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and/or their editors, etc., had simply dismissed the situation as a conspiracy theory or the reporters as conspiracy theorists and not allowed them to continue their investigation to prove that it was conspiracy fact?), the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, the Gulf War Nayirah Testimony, Operation Northwoods, MK-Ultra, and many, many others throughout history. The truth about conspiracy theories is that too many (most) people seem to have an irrational response to them, an immediate reaction of dismissal, often in the extreme, without even thinking about them, or looking into them, or considering the facts, etc. — this is the definition of irrationality. The terms conspiracy theory and conspiracy theorist are often used in negative, derogatory and (conveniently) dismissive manners, again, often in the extreme, as attacks on reputations, attempts to discredit, etc., which are false paradigms. It will take time, but hopefully we will all attempt to re-train and re-educate ourselves and others to not have these visceral reactions to these terms, and attempt to look at any theory, conspiracy-oriented or otherwise, with truly open minds, in truly objective manners, with unbiased and unskewed logic and critical thinking. Rather than attempting to deny (falsely) that something is a conspiracy theory, or deny (falsely) that we are conspiracy theorists, we need to re-claim the terms and educate those who are wrongly interpreting the concepts, and accept, embrace and wear the terms as the badges of honor they are. (because we (all) simply want the real, actual truth – and justice if needs be) ChicoSkyWatch.org/
