FOOD 4 THOUGHT!! Why do you believe what you believe? A different pespective by friend and Scholar "Anne Kennedy"

The tenacity of irrational belief is such that even when shown to be false 'Believers' will dismiss the evidence and carry on regardless. The need on which irrational belief feeds will simply move on to the next supplier.
What the current conspiratorial fix is, I do not know but I want to return to the events six months ago that spawned a paranoid 'world end' propaganda machine (no doubt making the agents of 'Info Wars/Prison Planet' much wealthier in the process....
The BP Oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico beginning on 20th April and finally ending with the permanent seal being fitted on 15th September.
This catastrophic event killed eleven people and will continue to decimate the marine ecosystem indefinitely, permanently. Many lives have been disrupted financially, emotionally and practically through loss of business, tourism and land. Those responsible for the explosion will never be held fully accountable. They have enough personal wealth and political clout to ride the storm.
The deluded 'Believer' is not concerned with the reality or the real aftermath, they will be feasting on the sermons of another conspiracy fallacy by now.
At the time of the spill, conspiracists claimed the leak had been planned months before to happen on Hitler's birthday as an 'Illuminati' message to the world (no, really that was ACTUALLY said on many different sites).
A video circulated showing the sea bed wobbling in anticipation of a huge (again, planned) explosion that would create such unimaginable damage that it would wipe out several million people living along the Gulf coastline. This of course was to 'get rid of' a sizable percentage of the poor in America and make the rest dependent on State Welfare (part of the plan to enslave the world ). Videos of FEMA 'coffins' were circulated to 'prove' this was all a plan. The video claimed the coffins had been made and were being dispatched prior to the spill.....
So, six months on what has happened to the people who propagated these theories? Have the congregation called for an investigation? Have they left the church of Alex Jones in droves? Are they disillusioned that the Wizzard is a man in a box?
NO!!!!!
They have garnered even more respect and simply moved on to the next hoax. The believers don't care whether the sermon is 'true' it is exhilarating. They are along for the ride.
Meanwhile, the actual truth is forgotten, buried, uninteresting. The people and the wildlife who suffered and continue to do so are no longer worthy of the conspiracist's attention. A gay rapper will have their focus as evidence of the plan to promote homosexuality as the work of Satan and the Freemasons.
Who benefitted from the spill? NO ONE.
Who benefits from the conspiracy theory surrounding it? BP, Haliburton, Alex Jones and his backers as well as any right wing US Libertarian with an anti tax, and government agenda (yes, I am sure most conspiracists do not vote or engage in local politics convinced, as they are, that it is all part of the Illuminati plan...)
What worries me, increasingly, is that otherwise bright, productive minds are being systematically steered AWAY from political action and numbed into apathy through their new religion.
