Conspiracy Theorists are Just Like the Westboro Baptists

And Alex Jones and Mike Adams are their Fred Phelps. It’s a wonder that Anonymous doesn’t retaliate against these ghouls as well as against Westboro who are planning to picket the Boston Marathon funerals.

Why are the the same thing? Because they’re all ghouls, and they all use any tragic event to bolster their warped, abhorrent world view no matter what the facts are, and no matter how offensive to the victims.

Within minutes, with no one knowing any facts, Jones claims this is a false flag attack. The only appropriate response to an event like this, within the first minutes and hours, is to hope the first responders and emergency personnel can get to and rescue as many as possible. But to the ghoul, every event such as this is another chance to push their agenda of hate. For the Westboro Baptists, similarly not knowing anything, they think this is further evidence that God hates America because we tolerate homosexuality. For the conspiracy theorist, all traumatic events instantly become incorporated into their evidence that the government/FBI/CIA whatever is faking them/planning them to increase their control over us. No matter what the evidence is, or will be, it will just be further sealed into this fixed, false belief.

I'm glad to see Mike Adams, from naturalnews, getting lumped into the same category as Alex Jones.

1. The trouble is, people plain don't trust or believe much of anything these days. I can't say I

blame them. Frankly, I'm waiting for anthrax to show up...seems like the ricin mailings and the 911'ish quality of these bombings brings on a feeling of deja vu.

Honestly, there's a complete lack of accountability everywhere. I'm no fan of either of the guys you mention, but sadly, I share doubt about what do we actually believe these days. I remember fear and terror after 911 being ramped up and my doubt was raging then.

It's my understanding the suspects in this CT (the NN guy, Adams) is Blackwater...whatever they call themselves these days. They are scum. We know this.
