You found this article probably because you were online searching for information on a specific conspiracy theory, or even just looking for general conspiracy information. Maybe trying to find new conspiracy theories in which to subscribe?
If you were to find information contrary to what you already believe, would you read it and consider it with an open mind? Or would you dismiss it and believe the writer was crazy or misinformed.

Do you believe in many conspiracy theories?

Before you click the back button on your browser to go see what else Google can come up with to validate your opinion, think for yourself for a change and read on.

Most people searching the net for information on conspiracy theories are not looking for the whole truth, but merely whatever “facts” will validate their existing opinion. This is on both sides of the fence, the believers and non-believers. It just stands, however, that believers are much more zealous in their pursuit of their version of the truth, therefore spend more of their resources in their investigation.

Anyone who has ever argued religion or politics knows how frustrating it can be. Both sides are absolutely certain of their beliefs. In politics there is a little room for multiple opinions to actually be valid. However in the case of religious debate, someone must be wrong. Either there is a god or there isn’t. Believers are unwavering in their certainty of God’s existence. Non-believers are just as adamant. And neither can prove their case.
Conspiracy has become a sort of religion to many. Believers seek information to bolster their views and disregard anything they find to contradict these views. All dissenting opinions are from the misinformed, unenlightened, or even part of the conspiracy’s cover-up. Believers feel it is their duty to enlighten the masses to this secret to which they are privy.

Just remember that the world doesn’t always have to have grandiose explanations for everything.

If you believe in big government cover-ups, you probably don’t follow the news very closely. Every administration has insiders and whistle blowers who go to the Washington Post or NY Times with the first bit of juicy gossip they can find. Look how badly Nixon’s cover-up of Watergate went. Oftentimes you’ll hear a reporter say, “Anonymous sources at the White House tell us…” Every time a president gives a speech, the press already knows what he’ll say, even if the transcript hasn’t been released beforehand. If a conspiracy on the scale of some of the ones being promoted did exist, there would certainly be “anonymous sources” directing the media toward these truths.

And if you think the government is controlling the media, then how did you ever hear about the conspiracies to begin with? Wouldn’t they have suppressed Art Bell, Alex Jones, and other pro-conspiracy media figures, too? You can’t have it both ways. I have to laugh when a radio talk show host discusses how the government controls the media - when he is using the media to promote his conspiracy theories!

Those that promote conspiracies are akin to evangelists. They have an agenda. Think of the big conspiracy theorists. They make their livings promoting their skewed version of the truth. They have absolutely no reason to admit they’re wrong, even in the face of indisputable evidence. They make money by confusing you, presenting half-truths, propagating urban myths, and hiding or dismissing opposing views and evidence.

That is the real conspiracy.

The Real Conspiracy Behind the Revelation of the Method

“The Revelation of the Method” is one of those “granddaddies of all conspiracy theories.” This is your standard elitist conspiracy theory in which an elite few are secretly pulling the strings on humanity and that they are slowly revealing this to us. We are becoming conditioned to learn and accept this control. Currently we are secret slaves to them, but over time we will become knowing slaves to them. This revelation is done in many ways, such as the “sacrifice” of Princess Diana, the events of 911, and hidden subliminal messages in the media.

It makes for great reading. Unfortunately some people actually believe it.

People like Art Bell and Michael A. Hoffman are among the leading conspiracy theorists in the country. If there is a conspiracy to be created or promoted, these guys are on the front lines. They aren’t objective parties because their livelihood banks on the promotion of these ideas. If they were to find indefensible evidence that one of their biggest conspiracy theories were false, how likely would they be to release this information, and essentially ruin their careers?

It’s easy to claim these secret societies exist – with no proof, or better to make wild inferences based on existing facts – and formulate all kinds of menacing correlations between leaders, world events, and these phantom societies. Anyone could do it. You could do it. Without rebuttal, they can be quite convincing.

Arguing that a secret society exists is much the same as arguing that God exists. It’s hard to prove that something doesn’t exist, especially if those promoting it claim it is being hidden on purpose. God doesn’t simply prove himself because following him blindly is far more virtuous, right?

This “hidden” element is the basis of all conspiracies, including religion - which itself could be called a conspiracy theory.

I recently watched a documentary debunking the theories claiming man never walked on the moon, and that it was all done on a sound stage on earth. They were able to easily re-create and explain the “inconsistencies” the conspiracy theorists promote. Independent thinkers would certainly nod in agreement that those explanations in the documentary were quite logical and satisfactory. But Art Bell and Michael Hoffman wannabes would never accept these explanations because their minds are already made up.

“Don’t confuse me with the truth!”

These guys have an agenda, and it’s not what they’re saying that they really care about… it’s the money they’re making peddling this misinformation. Conspiracy theorists are made from the same fabric as self help gurus, evangelists, and spiritual mediums. They all make fantastic claims and promises impossible to disprove, all while emptying the pockets of those that believe in them. Their careers rely on people believing what they say.

People believe what they want to believe.

I am somewhat OCD in my ability to link unrelated things in my mind, especially numbers and dates. People looking to link things together can always find something. With Princess Diana’s, we see an attempt at linking the events of her death to the numbers 3 and 13, which somehow “proves” the Revelation of the Method was behind her death. Three people died in the car… her unborn child was three months old… she died on the 31st, which is the mirror of 13… she died at the 13th pillar… and on and on. I wonder if anyone has figured out that she used the same brand of toilet paper as Saddam Hussein yet. Or that on her 13th birthday she had 13 candles on her cake? It must be related to a sinister plot!

There is even a website that links Diana’s death with coincidences surrounding Smith’s lead singer Morrisey. The site claims that these coincidences must be more than just coincidence!

Why?

It’s not unlike the coincidences surrounding Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon which syncs up nicely with the Wizard of Oz. Why it is so hard to believe that coincidences exist in this world? Why must everything be more than that?

How many times have you heard how two people met, and they mention how that there was a coincidence that they discovered about themselves… such as sharing the same birthday, or meeting in an unlikely scenario? Couples often see these as “signs” that this relationship must be different. People love to read meaning into coincidence that simply isn’t there.

Such is the nature of the Internet. A lot of people with a lot of time on their hands find correlations or coincidences and believe the most sinister explanation is appropriate. It also doesn’t hurt when they have a profit to make from it. Give me any two things and with enough time I could find sufficient coincidences to write a book. But coincidences alone are not enough, so I would have to make wild claims of hidden agendas, secret meanings, and governmental cover ups.

What is most ironic is that I believe a huge worldwide conspiracy actually exists. In fact, several conspiracy-based societies are elbowing for the same stage.

Alas, the biggest conspiracy in the world now is not advanced by some secret society, but by “societies” who place themselves on a public stage as often as they can: the conspiracy theorists themselves. Evangelists, spiritual mediums, conspiracy theorists, UFO groups, astrologers, et al… Every one of these groups jostles for position to enlist as many lemmings in society as they can. And, yes, racial leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton fall into this category, too. They promote racism far more than racists do. They fuel their followers to gain control over them, convincing them that they are victims of society. If they can sprinkle a few facts onto their claims, that makes them all the more convincing.

Take the Masons, for example. They are a “secret” society that conspiracy theorists claim are pulling the strings on our government, and only the highest level Masons know their “real” agenda. It’s ironic that the wool is not being pulled over the Mason’s eyes, but the very people who believe the accusations against them. The “highest levels” of these conspiracy circles know that these theories are fabricated in order to gain control over those who are apt to fall for this line of reasoning. And you can’t prove them wrong since no evidence exists. Any refutation by the Masons themselves is shot down as a conspiracy itself.

It’s like arguing religion. You can’t prove or disprove God. Similarly, any attempts to refute these claims about the Masons will yield the immediate rebuttals of a cover up. You can’t reason with someone who believes in something they can’t actually prove.

There’s little money to be made for a lack of belief in something. Atheists rarely congregate. Conspiracy debunkers don’t have huge followings. People rarely get fired up about not believing in something. Religious zealots and conspiracy believers, however, are driven and fueled by their leaders. They buy books and videos, and attend rallies. They are the real puppets in this game. The “secret society” fraud is the wool pulled over their eyes to line them up and relieve them of their hard-earned money, control them, and urge them to get involved in the political process.

Conspiracy leaders manufacture these scenarios and then urge their followers to rise up and fight. They often lend credibility to their accusations by weaving real facts into their fabrications.

Ingenious.

So getting back to the Revelation of the Method, it’s really just a consensus of all the other conspiracy theories. Hoffman throws in the kitchen sink. Everything, he claims, is part of a conspiracy to manipulate and control people. For example, I love how in his writings he talks about how World Trade Center building 7 “mysteriously fell” after the September 11 attacks because there was “no discernible attack” on it. It seems that falling debris from the twin towers, and the ensuing fires were not “plausible” explanations for him. When the public didn’t get out and protest the exposure of this supposed government cover up of 9/11, he cites that lack of protest as an indication of successful mind control over the masses… that somehow people accepted that the government did this and did nothing to protest.

Could it be that people just don’t buy your conspiracy-for-profit-theories, Mr. Hoffman?

What gets me is that you have Christians who also believe in the Revelation of the Method. Who do they believe is stronger, God or the secret Elite? They are so afraid of being controlled, that they have actually allowed themselves to be controlled twice, by two groups who have fueled that fear in them most.

Doubly ingenious.

When there are two explanations for something, most often the simplest explanation is more accurate.

People just don’t want to believe that events are random. They don’t want to think that terrible things happen by chance, or that a small group of people can bring chaos to large numbers of innocent victims.

So when they look for answers, they feel they must attribute this control to someone or something. Some feel that everything happens as part of “God’s Plan.” (You hear that a lot, but you won’t find that phrase in the Bible, will you?). When a loved one dies, well it must have been God’s Plan. It couldn’t have just been some random senseless death, right? A person doesn’t want to think that their 10-year old son just fell off his bike, for example, and cracked his head open and died. Nah… God must have wanted to bring him home to heaven instead. Sounds better at least…

When the September 11 attacks occurred, it was hard for people to accept that 20 young foreigners could outsmart the system and impose such havoc in the strongest country in the world. So it had to be a government plot. They’d prefer to think the powerful government would destroy buildings and kill thousands, and not a few dumb terrorists with box cutters.

Evangelists say we all must follow God’s will or burn in hell. Makes sense. It’s convenient that these evangelists happen to understand the Bible better than us poor uninformed masses. They also claim that Christians are being persecuted…everyone is against them, and they must stick together and be strong in the face of this.

Racial leaders look for racism anywhere they can find it, whether real or not. Everyone is against them, and they must stick together and be strong in the face of this.

Revelation of the Method theorists (and others like them) claim that the world around us is not real, that we are being controlled by the elite and this is slowly being revealed to us so we will come to accept it over time. In other words… Everyone is against us, and we must stick together and be strong in the face of this.

For UFO theorists, it’s the government and the aliens who are against us. For self-help gurus, its our own shortcomings and “they” have the “secrets” to save us.

Do you see a pattern here?

You’re too stupid to see the real world around you, and thankfully these people are there to show us the light, to inspire us, and to make us stronger. Oh, and to take our money.

Problem is… they’re lying.
They’re weakening you.
They’re controlling you.
They have an agenda.
They actually have the power over you they claim others have.
They are profiting from all of this.

If you scoff at religion, but believe the September 11 theories… or if you dismiss racial leaders but buy into Princess Diana conspiracies… you might want to look at your own beliefs again with an objective eye.

Before you laugh at those with the wool over their eyes, you might want to remove the wool from yours first.

He’s coming! For those who believe in him and who have been good, Santa will come and give his wondrous gifts. Billions believe in him, and you should too! If you are on his “good” list, you will receive his gifts on the appointed day, but you never know when he’ll show up. He knows everything – even your thoughts - and can tell if you’ve been good or bad. He loves everyone and wants everyone to be good. He lives forever and sits on a throne atop the world.

All hail Santa!

Now… let’s change two words in the paragraph above…

He’s coming! For those who believe in him and who have been good, Jesus will come and give his wondrous gifts. Billions believe in him, and you should too! If you are on his “good” list, you will receive his gifts on the appointed day, but you never know when he’ll show up. He knows everything – even your thoughts - and can tell if you’ve been good or bad. He loves everyone and wants everyone to be good. He lives forever and sits on a throne atop the world.

All hail Jesus!

True Christians don’t like the concept of Santa Claus, because he is a lie and never really existed. Atheists say the same about Jesus, mind you. And as you can see above, Santa replaces Jesus in quasi-Christian families.

To non-believers, however, Santa is merely the training wheels on the road to blind faith, and belief in many lies and deities that lie ahead.

C2 Coke … A ghost town in the soda world. It was highly promoted, and adored by its supporters. Why did this products disappear so soon after launch? The “official” explanation is that the market didn’t justify it and sales were flat.

But are those the real reasons?

Further investigation reveals much more sinister reasons behind the demise of this beloved drink.

Let’s look at Coke’s C2, which was introduced and highly publicized in 2004. It was essentially half regular Coke and half diet coke, at 70 calories and several different sweeteners. It arrived amid the low-carb craze, and was heavily promoted. On television, the song “I Want to Break Free” by Queen was used in commercials, while “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” by the Rolling Stones was used in radio ads.

Let’s first examine the use of “I Want to Break Free” by Queen. If one looks back to the original song, from 1984, we find a comical spoof in which the members of the band are dressed as women. Images of Freddy Mercury vacuuming in drag are indelible. Good for a laugh, and perhaps the words might mean breaking free of traditional soda, right? Read on.

Moving on to the lyrics, we find “I don’t need you/I’ve got to break free/God knows I want to break free.” Without the humorous facade, these words cry out. They imply an imprisonment of sorts. Not necessarily a physical incarceration, but somehow being controlled emotionally and mentally. Combine the words with men doing housework and wearing women’s clothing and we can easily conclude that the song implies breaking free of male role modeling.

What does this have to do with C2? Allow the lenses to turn a little more as it comes into focus.

In the 1969 Rolling Stones song, we find the lyrics directly mention soda… “And man did he look pretty ill/We decided we would have a soda, my favorite flavor… Yeah and he said one word to me, and that was “dead.”

Notice the words “soda” and “dead” are juxtaposed.

In this song, Mick Jagger is using soda as for medicinal reasons, within the framework of a song that proclaims we rarely get the things we want in life. In a radio commercial, we connect NOT getting what we want with soda. Soda becomes the “cure” just out of our reach.

The amount of time between the time the Rolling Stones song was released and the Queen song’s release was 15 years. The gap between the release of the Queen song and C2 was 20 years, 5 more years that the Stones/Queen gap.

Freddy Mercury was would have been 58 years old when C2 was released, while Mick Jagger was 61… a 3 year difference. You can see how the numbers all line up. 3-5-15. There is a symmetry… almost a trinity of sorts.

“Queen” implies being high and uplifted, while “rolling” implies downward movement. The Queen ad was on TV, while the Stones ad was on radio. With the high Queen, you could see, but with the downward-moving Stones ad, you were blind.

In advertising alone, Coke was merely setting the stage, much the way a boxer sets up his knockout punch with a couple of simple jabs.

Coke knew this soda would fail. It was already planned. Coke knew that there would be a market for low calorie sodas with a male audience in mind. In fact Coke Zero was waiting in the wings for C2’s demise. It was part of a huge plan. If you give a child a toy and then take it away, they’re going to want it even more. Such is the case with men and low-calorie sodas. The half-calorie C2 was a stepping stone to get men to drink fully diet soda. Coke Zero ‘happened’ to arrive only a year later.

On June 1, 2004 E. Neville Isdell became the CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. 6 days later C2 was released in the United States. This was no coincidence. Mr. Isdell is a member of the Corporate Advisory Board of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, which no doubt has a political agenda. Further, he is a trustee for Emory University, whose “unofficial mascot” is Dooley, a skeleton dressed in black. Dooley roams the campus with a limp and lets students out of class. Former President Jimmy Carter and the Dali Lama are also associated with this university.

Putting all of this information yields an ominous and ingenious plot.

C2 was created to fail, which itself created a greater demand for the product. Coke responded by creating Coke Zero, which was heavily marketed to males, which had already been drawn in by C2.

In terms of C2, images of the vacuum and the deceased gay legend in drag were not by chance. Subliminal messages were being sent to male viewers.

Isdell has a hand in the AIDS political fire. He is associated with a benevolent skeleton at Emory. He’s telling us it’s OK to be immasculine and to break free of traditional male stereotypes. It’s OK to not always get what you want.

Like children.

But Coke will give you the diet soda you want, and you can drink as much as you want without any repercussions.

Studies of artificial sweeteners have shown them to cause cancer and raise levels of impotence in males. Females have been drinking it for years, but the beverage companies have been slow to reel men in.

The meteoric rise in prescriptions of Ritalin for disturbed children is a direct result of artificial sweeteners, and this itself is part of the plan. Women have been on the bandwagon for years, but it was time to get the men in on it.

Create hidden health problems, and market the “cure” all in the same can. And with men, for the first time, we can now actually limit the population explosion and increase the health care industry all at once.

C2 was a brilliant and sinister product, for political reasons. Health care, population control, and mind control were all at work with the C2-Coke Zero shell game.

Did you ever think that Coke Zero means zero calories?

Think again.

Coke Zero = zero population growth.

And one final note… if you believe any of this, you are more gullible than you think. All of the facts are real, but all of my conclusions are contrived to take on an Art Bell cynicism.

Wake up and have some waffles my friend. You’ve been duped again. But at least I told you.
