Conspiraloon Pride redux

There was a surreal wee moment during BBC’s Question Time last week whilst the panel were discussing the issue of what to do, or rather not do, about the situation in Zimbabwe and Robert Mugabe

It goes without saying that the panel weren’t saying anything particularly astute or enlightening about the issue. The panelists were just ritualistically waffling within the parameters set to limit the way all of us comprehend how the world works

Then one middle-aged, softly spoken woman within the audience said something like...

‘I visited Zimbabwe frequently in the 1980s and there were no problems with food shortages or inflation. That only started when the IMF and World Bank cut food subsidies for the poor and imposed economic reforms on Zimbabwe… I heard someone on Radio 4 last week explain that the same thing has happened in many of the countries suffering food shortages today’

...and for a moment, just a moment, a small suggestion of a different way of looking at the world was aired on national TV

Until, after a very pregnant pause, a member of the panel hastily blew her comment off and Dimblebore swiftly changed the subject

The reason why I mention this, of course, is because that old dear clearly was a raving Conspiraloon

We now live in very strange political times in the UK. People are offered the false choice of three major political parties which have few if any ideological differences between them but which are carefully managed to ensure that people remain more or less evenly split in their party allegiances

Typical Conservabour Democrats supporter

Any individual who refuses to follow the script is branded as an extremist, an idiot or mad

To be honest, many of the people who reject the existing political system are a little touched. How else would anyone be able to reject a lifetime of conditioning?

And it is no accident that attempts are being made to equate those of us with doubts about 7/7 with people on the extreme right - because we do have one thing in common. We all believe that we are being lied to by a deceitful, unrepresentative establishment. And anyone stupid enough or greedy enough to have a stake in the existing, and coming, order of things hates us for it

There is nothing extreme, idiotic or mad about suspecting that the people at the very top of the socio-economic pile influence the course of human events to suit their own interests.

There is no reason to believe that they would do this in the open.

They are not space aliens. They have no magical powers

Their shared background, world view and interests would mean that they would not even have to co-ordinate all of their activities.

Sometimes, they might even come into conflict with each other

A few years ago it was OK to talk about the elite interests which manipulate our world. Now it is not and anyone who does so is labeled a nutcase – not just by the mainstream media owned by the fuckers but by other ordinary people who do not realise that they have been conditioned to do their Masters’ bidding



There is currently no political party in the UK which genuinely represents the interests of the 99.99%+ of people who fall outside of the elite group. And no such party would ever be permitted to come into being.

The Establishment exists to serve the less than 0.01%. It always has and, unless people wake up and find a way to unfuck themselves, it probably always will

And if my own personal view is so wide off the mark and insane how else do you start to explain a system where fifty billion pounds of public money can be stolen in broad daylight or a series of show trials featuring people accused of plotting to blow up airliners with soda pop takes place with not so much as a mouse fart of criticism or dissent?

This is the lunacy. This is the madness

but, oh yeah, it all just happens by accident. I keep forgetting…



edit: sorry, I should have typed 'another fifty billion pounds of public money can be stolen in broad daylight'
