"These claim this, and those claim that."Any honest pyrrohnean skeptic would agree with this statement. It's those who become too passionate, and join a particular group (whether mainstream or not) that eventually lead to "this is true" and "that is not true".Anything can sound factual beneath a facade of numbers and names. It's best to be a "Doubting Thomas". Don't believe ANYTHING to be the truth until you've used all of your senses to verify.

My litmus test is: Prove it! Never believe anything just because someone tells you, no matter how much you may agree with them most of the time or how much you want to believe what they say. It's ok to take it on faith at the time, but you gotta check it out for yourself! One thing that I do is when I hear something that seems somewhat based on opinion or interpretation, I immediately go to sources that support an antithetical view and see what proof they have to back up what they believe.

I find articles in mainstream media on both sides and basically follow the bread crumbs. It's usually the secondary stories that provoke my skepticism. Outright conspiracy publications or ultra left wing material might be just as misleading with severe bias. They're often too black and white and spew anger, whereas reading into certain mainstream stories reveal a world of crap. Like Often what's right in front of our eyes is true. Instincts. Bread crumbs. Comment section too limiting to explain.

Exactly. Education,Health Care,Social Security, Poverty? There are TOO many degrees (PHDs, MDs, BAs etc...) working on the problem for it to get *consistently worse* EVERY year. 1 Trillion for wall street firms. Several Billion to kill Americans and Iraqies but no money for health care? Bull Shit. Shit dosnt happen. It gets done. To less organized groups of people by more organized groups of people.

My litmus test is "logical fallacies." The more that logical fallacies that are used to support a claim the less likely it is to be true.And when appropriate the idea that "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."If N.W.O. is an extraordinary claim but can't be verified (doesn't have extraordinary evidence) it isn't worth believing in.

One quick way to test a notion is to reverse it and see if it makes sense. Does it make sense?Try it on everything told to you by broadcast commericals for practice."You have Herpes..."Do you have Herpes? No.Call that commerical a 'Liar".Continue this until you keep finding truth. Soon, you will have no problem identifying who the liars are. Your brain will pick up things naturally, seeing body language..etcI knew Clinton was lying about Lewinsky right after he said it.

A conspiracy wouldn't be a conspiracy if it had evidence to back it up. Although I believe it is always good for people to keep their eye out for things such as corporate funded media etc. many get carried away and begin to see what they want to see. I believe that places like HAARP have some dodgy activity going on but everything past that is pure speculation. Of course the same goes with skeptics, when a witness is held accountable in court and not for seeing a UFO -- but eh, watchya gonna do?

Know your enemy. Bilderberg, the so-called 'New World Order' - these things are paranoid delusions. Look for independent verification, and trust media sources that have no vested interest in what they report. That's why I look to foreign media to learn about events in the USA - no American buying public to advertise at. |
