The Devil in Mr. Jones

As pathologically twisted as many on the lunatic left are, there are many on the far-far-right who are just as cognitively challenged. The term that best describes this persistent worldview is conspiracism. A definition of which is a willingness to believe almost any kind of stranger-than-truth fiction as long as the evidence is lacking and it adds up to world events being manipulated by a devil worshipping global secret society engaged in a history-long conspiracy to control the world.

Enter Alex Jones and prisonplanet.com. Possibly the most visible and popular conspiracy peddler I've come across recently besides the progenitors of conspiracy on the right, the John Birch Society. It's easy to dismiss these kinds of fanciful stories as harmless entertainment. They are entertaining. But what concerns me is that I know people are not just entertained by these wacky ideas, some seem to ardently believe them.

Not too long ago, a old friend handed me a CD with a 'documentary' produced by Alex Jones. It was all about the Bush family's Nazi ties. This was followed up by a several hour conversation about the 'evidence' contained therein.

Nazi treasure has been used by the globalists to take over the United States and they are setting up a Fourth Reich right here in America. Sounds amazing but if you look at the evidence, any good investigator would tell you that there is no other conclusion. ~infowars

I see numerous similarities between the conspiracism of the far-left and the far-right. In fact, they share some of the same theories-- as well as a hatred of Bush. Greg Palast and Alex Jones seem to have some affinity to each other.

Dark Secrets Inside Bohemian Grove is an enchanting tale of the global elite worshipping the devil out in a Californian Redwood grove.

Jones' Dark Secrets: Inside the Bohemian Grove documented the first ever hidden camera incursion into the Grove and the bizzare pagan ritual, the Cremation of Care, practiced by its members, all men, including both Presidents Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Colin Powell, and Henry Kissenger to name but a few.

The Order of Death picks up where Dark Secrets leaves off. This new work exposes the connections between the Bohemian Club and Skull and Bones and other occult secret societies. Jones explores the roots of the Grove and its links to occult networks dating back to ancient Egypt and Babylon.  ~infowars.com

Did you know that 9/11 was perpetrated by our own government to create a police state? 9-11 The Road To Tyranny is an engaging overview of how the 9/11 truth movement believes that Bush and the New World Order funded and trained Al Qaeda-- committed the 9/11 tragedy in order to create a police state.

Everything happens for a reason. Ask yourself, who had the most to gain from 9/11? Bush of course. He was President. The fact that he worships the devil and the fact that he is a member of the Skull and Bones Society makes it all but certain that Bush not only knew about 9/11 -- he planned it! For instance, Police State 3: Total Enslavement lays out the facts in a way you cannot fail to understand!

Why would anyone actually believe this stuff? I ask myself this question about the likes of Cindy Sheehan and Harry Belefonte as well. Wikipedia has a great entry about conspiracism including a reason why.

Psychologists believe that the search for meaningfulness features largely in conspiracism and the development of conspiracy theories. That desire alone may be powerful enough to lead to the initial formulation of the idea. Once cognized, confirmation bias and avoidance of cognitive dissonance may reinforce the belief. In a context where a conspiracy theory has become popular within a social group, communal reinforcement may equally play a part.

Evolutionary psychology may also play a significant role. Paranoid tendencies are associated with an animal's ability to recognize danger. Higher animals attempt to construct mental models of the thought processes of both rivals and predators in order to read their hidden intentions and to predict their future behavior. Such an ability is extremely valuable in sensing and avoiding danger in an animal community. If this danger-sensing ability should begin making false predictions, or be triggered by benign evidence, or otherwise become pathological, the result is paranoid delusions.  ~wikipedia
