Truther movements, in general.

Tune in at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 6, 2017, to watch the livestream of Dr. Leroy Hulsey’s presentation from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. There he will present the findings and conclusions of the study detailed in his team’s September 2017 progress report, which will be issued the same day.

A draft report of the study will be released in October or November 2017 and will be open for public comment for a six-week period, allowing for input from the public and the engineering community. A final report will then be published in early 2018.

All truther movements are the same. A relatively small group of people notice something odd, begin to research, find they are not alone in noticing this oddity and gradually discover hidden knowledge. When they become excited, they will try to reach out and tell other people this hidden knowledge, which will be received poorly. They forget that their entire lives, they dismissed similar claims just as other people now do to them. And realizing that they have become "crazy" according to mainstream thinking, they will start to wonder what other "crazy" theories are also true, being cautious at first to not go down too many rabbit holes, but then become addicted to hidden knowledge. After a while, it becomes impossible to distinguish hidden truth from made-up lies, and people find themselves mired in fearful conspiracism.

Thus, the truth about so many things will always remain hidden, except to the handful of people willing to carefully discern between reality and fantasy.

All truther movements are the same in so many ways.

What you say may be true, but FE is the grand daddy of all the conspiracies.

You can tell you're onto something when the shills come out of the woodwork.

I could post all day about ayylmao reptillians and no one cares. Mention wtc7 or the world banks and there's quite the response from our friendly neighbourhood intelligece agencies.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is a civilian foreign intelligence service of the United States federal government, tasked with gathering, processing, and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence (HUMINT).

Disagree on the term "truther". Happy to consider these movements as "Conspiracy theory". Some conspiracy theories have with time and reliable evidence proven to be true. Most, like Flat Earth, Alien Abduction and vaccines causing autism, will remain in the crackpot bin though. Their popularity in recent times is simply a result of the internet (in particular forums like this and youtube) and the generally poor education in science and critical analysis of evidence that pervades those who believe such nonsense.

I must admit, I love your terminology "addicted to hidden knowledge". It so succinctly summarises the psychology behind the cognitive dissonance required to truly believe in such conspiracies.

What becomes appealing to the conspiracist is not the veracity of the information, but how insidious the secret plot might be. As I said, it's a fear of missing out when the secrets are finally revealed. It's like being a hipster, they want to be able to say they knew about that conspiracy BEFORE it went mainstream.

In some cultures, the more deeply one believes something, the less likely one would be to tell everyone who will listen. Truth is revealed within a person's mind, so yelling and screaming Alex Jones style will never lead anyone to a knowledge of anything, hidden or known openly.

In simpler words, some will find the truth but most will not--because they are not predisposed to seeing it in the first place.

Thus, the safest place to hide something is in plain sight. Removing unnecessary racial undertones from a well-worn quote and updating it, we can say "if you want to hide something from the general public, put it on the internet".

Out of genuine curiousity is there anything you disagree with the TV about? Doesn't have to be massive just anything you disagree with the TV about.

A ten-month investigation by the Warren Commission from November 1963 to September 1964 concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy, and that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald before he could stand trial.

The mainsteam natrative then. Is there anything you disagree with?

Here is an example. I disagree with this.

Do you disagree with anything mainstream?

Elaborate please. Cite examples if possible.

Darn.

You have brought something up that appears to be endemic particularly in the USA where even the president is affected, and that is disregard for the truth regardless of the evidence.

On this forum the following beliefs are pretty mainstream though different flat-tards will subscribe to various belief mixtures:

The earth is flat
The sun is only 34 miles in diameters and 3000 miles from the earth
The earth is covered by a Dome
The earth has an ice wall
Antartica is off limits
There are undiscovered continents on an infinite plane connected at Antartica.
There is a black sun and moon
Gravity does not exist
The earth is surrounded by aether
Satelites do not exist
Spaceflight is a hoax
NASA is up to all kinds of dubious activities
Global warming is fake
Moonlight is dangerous and precautions need to be taken at night
Sunlight is beneficial and the sun should be looked at for long periods.
Every image taken from space is a product of CGI
The fossil record is a hoax and all the fossils in the world have been made in China
Perpetual motion machines are real
All history up to 1600 approx has been faked
Penguins are not natural and are a result of a genetic experiment

The list goes on as there are many things I have missed.
The question is  why would any sane person wish to believe in any of the above as there is no evidence to support any of them? That's the real mystery.

What the fuck is this forum.

What the fuck is this forum.

Look at the header.....it contains a clue.
But let me expand.

It's a place for people, who don't understand the world and are unhappy with the way it is and regardless of facts are determined to create a fictional construct.

In any fictional story you need a villain, in theirs it's NASA, or the illuminati, take your pick. Plus all the non FE visitors shills!

What also is required is a hero, and that's what they see themselves as, heroes battling against adversity and overwhelming odds.

The plot that the hero finds themselves in in a quest to uncover a greater truth that's been hidden from humanity for centuries. Only they, the heros, know this truth and their mission in life is to uncover and reveal the truth to all the mindless unthinking sheep.

It sounds a promising story, hero who knows the truth but with scant resources battling against a foe with overwhelming resources who is determined to hide the truth, the classic David and Goliath.

The problem is the FE community have had to make so much stuff up to support their fiction that is not supported by any evidence. They have created for themselves a make believe world that's held together by layers of fiction fixed to a foundation of conspiracy.

To answer your question, this forum is a place for Flat-tards to reinforce their various beliefs for which they need 'supporters of the dark side' to feed off. If all the 'angry globuralists'.....yes she still uses that term, left they would all just crumble into dust.

The general evidence to support this hypothesis is that you will notice that all FEers are poorly educated, low IQ and have social inadequacies. The exception to that is otherwise bright and educated people who suffer from sever mental health issues.
