Litmus Test: Conspiracy, Corporate News or Reality?

From corporate-sponsored news to independent media, where do you draw the line between truth and conspiracy? Perhaps you question corporate-sponsored media. Do you automatically believe any and everything Alex Jones says? (New World Order, HAARP, Bilderberg, Alex Jones)

"Everyone less suspicious, one considers gullible, and everyone more suspicious, one considers paranoid. Who is right? Truth is only as convincing as the reasons you have for believing it's true."

By the way, what's your litmus test, ProteanView?

Right back at me, huh? Like you, I go on instinct... cross referencing, considering the source & who backs it, track record, motive and, I suppose, my personal assumptions/biases factor in when I'm not looking.

Oh I am sure they did too. My point is that although Bush is dumb, these "terrorists" are dumber. If you look at the evidence, there is no doubt in my mind that our government either allowed it or facilitated it and the "terrorists". Just like with the whole ANTHRAX incident, we will find out, EVENTUALLY!

Exactly. Education,Health Care,Social Security, Poverty? There are TOO many degrees (PHDs, MDs, BAs etc...) working on the problem for it to get *consistently worse* EVERY year. 1 Trillion for wall street firms. Several Billion to kill Americans and Iraqies but no money for health care?

Bull Shit.

Shit dosnt happen. It gets done. To less organized groups of people by more organized groups of people.

When I hear ex-military-intelligence officers on CNN and on Coast to Coast AM talk about how an intelligence alien race is shutting down nuclear weapons sites in this country my ears perk up. Then seeing the eye-witness whistle blower give testimonies here on youtube about buildings and based on the moon and all are willing to testify before congress - I believe the unbelieveable.

well i think it's good to be curious about and question what the government does because your government is obviously very shady with the secretive CIA and HAARP being a military run supposed 'research facility', Europe and America's most powerful people meeting in secret, and what not.

it's good to be open minded and consider these conspiracy theories that are out there, some of them have even been out in mainstream news. but i don't go so far as to believe the whole alien, satanic thing.

Good question. I think the the litmus test test comes, at least in part, from a pre-determined perception that we already have. And whether the new information we are recieving resonates or harmonizes with what we already perceive.

[zoticus1]

I look at the viability based on logic, for instance the whole HAARP thing.I do not see any reason for this device as the US govt through proxy control many countries.Therefor its non consequential to research said device. In the case of 9/11 we can easily see who directly and indirectly benefits, they are ones with motive.

[sinistavoicez]

Like suicide bombers who survived. Or when the building that wasn't on fire, and wasn't hit fell. Or when the passport didn't even get a lil singed. Or when they let the relatives flee the country. Or when they picked a guy who was on the CIA payroll to be the ringleader. Or when the Tower's wreckage was still on fire for weeks (yes I am a NYC resident) Or when the Insurance company denied the claims of NYPD FDNY and volunteer workers. Or when Bush went to Iraq instead of after Bin Laden or...

Test the PH of an idea? I would imagine that you test it by looking at all possible outcomes, then look at the history of those suggesting the ideas and their slant on thought and then look to see if the idea is consistent. If it's not, then you're either missing information or the angle so it's time to rethink.

[mmmmmarcus]

lol they screwed up when they reported the second world trade tower falling too early... That gave away the whole thing. Criminal masterminds tend to always screw up brilliant schemes with the dumbest screw-ups imaginable.

Have read it, and found it full of holes that you could drive a semi through.

Some of it's true no doubt, some of it's allegorical to be sure. Some of it is biased by the people who wrote it.

If the bible is so infallible then why were there books left out? The thing you know of as the bible was decided on by the catholic church who use it as a political tool.

The most common sense view of it would be that if you believe in a god, God is infallible, but the bible was written by men who aren't.

[mebbmebbmibbmibb]

how can you test the pH of an idea?

i think that we need a new world order!!!

so we can become an active part in our galactic council and put our two cents in concerning matters that effect us outside of our planet
