Conspiracy Factualist?
CONSPIRACY
CONSPIRACY
CONSPIRACY
The Conspiracy Factualist is comprised of two or more individuals (us and you) conspiring together to uncover the facts behind past, current, and future conspiracies, in order to bring the truth to light. Open dialog, especially with people we might disagree with, is the key to understanding and truth. We should all be free to seek the truth, and speak the truth.
OPINIONS
CONSPIRACY
CONSPIRACY
While each and every one of us possesses tightly-held opinions, beliefs, and suspicions, those don't always equate to facts. Our opinions are as individualistic as we are. On The Conspiracy Factualist we will sometimes express our opinions, but we will always strive to go past how we feel, so that together, we and our listeners can come to know.
FACTS
CONSPIRACY
FACTS
While everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinions, they are not entitled to their own facts. Facts are indisputable. Facts stand on their own. That's why we endeavor to uncover the facts... just the facts. Facts might be out in the open, or they may be deeply buried, and it is the pursuit of those facts and the truth they hold that we strive to uncover, with your help.
What is a conspiracy?
Putting things in context...
There are many divergent opinions on what constitutes a conspiracy, as well as a wide variety of offshoot beliefs regarding the propagation of conspiracy theories.
With regards to criminal law, the generally acceptable definition of a conspiracy is whenever two or more persons conspire to commit an offense, for any purpose, and one or more of the conspirators commit an overt act toward the furtherance of the criminal objective.
According to Wikipedia: "A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that involves a conspiracy by sinister and powerful groups, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a negative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence.
Conspiracy theories resist falsification and are reinforced by circular reasoning: both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it are re-interpreted as evidence of its truth, whereby the conspiracy becomes a matter of faith rather than something that can be proved or disproved. Research suggests that conspiracist ideation - belief in conspiracy theories - may be psychologically harmful or pathological and that it is correlated with psychological projection, paranoia and Machiavellianism. Psychologists attribute finding a conspiracy where there is none to a mental phenomenon called illusory pattern perception."
A 30 May 2019 Intelligence Bulletinreleased by the FBI Phoenix Field Office, states:
"(U/FOUO) The FBI assesses anti-government, identity based, and fringe political conspiracy theories very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to commit criminal and sometimes violent activity. The FBI further assesses in some cases there conspiracy theories very likely encourage the targeting of specific people, places, and organizations, thereby increasing the likelihood of violence against these targets. These assessments are made with high confidence, based on information from other law enforcement agencies, open source information, court documents, human sources with varying degrees of access and corroboration, and FBI investigations."
"(U/FOUO) One Key assumption driving these assessments is that certain conspiracy theory narratives tacitly support or legitimize violent action. The FBI also assumes some, but not all individuals or domestic extremists who hold such beliefs will act on them. The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts. Indicators that may lead to revised judgements or cause a change in the confidence level associated with this assessment include a lack of conspiracy theory-driven criminal or violent activity in the near to long term, or significant efforts by major social media companies and websites to remove, regulate, or counter potentially harmful conspiratorial content."
