Best-selling author Michael Shermer presents an overarching theory of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them.
Nothing happens by accident, everything is connected, and there are no coincidences: that is the essence of conspiratorial thinking. Long a fringe part of the American political landscape, conspiracy theories are now mainstream: 147 members of Congress voted in favor of objections to the 2020 presidential election based on an unproven theory about a rigged electoral process promoted by the mysterious group QAnon.
But this is only the latest example in a long history of ideas that include the satanic panics of the 1980s, the New World Order and Vatican conspiracy theories, fears about fluoridated water, speculations about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, and the notions that the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag operation and 9/11 was an inside job.
In ‘Conspiracy’, Michael Shermer presents an overarching review of conspiracy theories—who believes them and why, which ones are real, and what we should do about them. Trust in conspiracy theories, he writes, cuts across gender, age, race, income, education level, occupational status—and even political affiliation.
One reason that people believe these conspiracies, Shermer argues, is that enough of them are real that we should be constructively conspiratorial: elections have been rigged (LBJ’s 1948 Senate race); medical professionals have intentionally harmed patients in their care (Tuskegee); your government does lie to you (Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Afghanistan); and, tragically, some adults do conspire to sexually abuse children. But Shermer reveals that other factors are also in play: anxiety and a sense of loss of control play a role in conspiratorial cognition patterns, as do certain personality traits.
This engaging book will be an important listen for anyone concerned about the future direction of American politics, as well as anyone who’s watched friends or family fall into patterns of conspiratorial thinking.

Because we have now all seen the degree to which Media, Academia and Politicians lie.
How complicit all levels of so-called law-enforcement are, and who their real masters are.
The degree to which they fabricate their ‘Narratives’, is absolutely astounding.
It hen follows that these people have always been like this. Why not?
At this point, only retards do not think that pretty much everything that has happened over the last century has not been piles of conspiracies.
Doh.
PS: Of course the Vatican is central to every major conspiracy. Via several avenues, e.g. its confession “sacrement”, it had attained incredible global power; and that was several centuries ago.
And, of course, people in power do not EVER relinquish their power… and those most corrupt, will always ascend to ALL top positions that grant personal power.
Doh.

It has always been easier to believe than to understand, and the stupider you are the easier it gets to imagine everyone else is the problem.
But the 147 Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election weren’t driven primarily by their imbecility. They were just traitors.

@pryderi 100% agree.
Thanks for the upload @popty_ping

Conspiracies like”
WMD?
DNC Hack?
Russia’s interference in every single US election?
Israel as a Victim?
The Free Syrian Army?
Trump is an agent of Putin?
Ukraine is winning the war?
All of them pushed by Legacy Media, Government Officials and way too many ‘journalists’

just think about the lunatic mental gymnastics of thinking various lethal poisons are good for you. It is an absolute scientific fact beyond any debate that rat poison aka fluoride is highly toxic and has minus benefit. Luckily we are at the point where the diseased statists are self deleting themselves with their injection cult, and their diseased genetics will not procreate into future generations much longer.

Thanks for uploading this book. Really appreciate it.
⭐⭐⭐👉I want to share this info with people coming over here to download stuff.
On 19 nov 23 a book called ‘on palestine’ by naom Chomsky and pappe was uploaded on the site and I wanted to download it, after a few hours when i came back to download it, i found that it was removed.
There is this person with the user name of ‘freepalestine’ some of his uploads that gave the point of view of Palestine have been removed as well.
I know this is a piracy site and you can not point fingers at people for doing something, but I wanted to point this out.
I want folks who come here to check it for themselves and know that this is happening.

@mastram, I downloaded the Chomsky On Palestine and it is still here:

Mastram: I would prefer it if you didn’t pollute my uploads with your conspiratorial rants about unrelated books from an unrelated member.
The forum exists for you to have these discussions.
While I’m writing, though, I can assure you that nobody has been censored, and the user in question has all his genuine books still in tact, and removals have been books generated with automated voices.

Because the brainwashed will believe anything is Not True !?

The term “conspiracy theory” is itself the subject of a conspiracy theory, which posits that the term was popularized by the CIA in order to discredit conspiratorial believers, particularly critics of the Warren Commission, by making them a target of ridicule. Well with the new CIA files coming out it shows they were involved with the JFK killing.

@caesar963.
The problem about many of the conspiracies, is that quite a majority are true. Look at 911.
I worked as a consultant Air Accident Investigator for the AAIB under Ken Smart. I saw the Lockerbie Aircraft being rebuilt to be used in any legal action against the bombers and also spent weeks walking around Scotland, accompanied by a Policeman and A Notary. (For Legal reasons) to catalogue each item I picked up (Evidence)
This was just one of several such investigations I was apart of.
SO:- Explain how a commercial airline flies into the Pentagon, leaving a small hole and no wreckage.
As a simple point, the main mass of the aircraft is the wings and engine and the actual fuel. Yet they disappeared overnight, A few hundred tons?
What about the fuel, It obviously didn’t burn. So the area would be saturated with a highly flammable and toxic chemical. This too disappeared, without having to remove at least the first 4 foot of the topsoil.
And all those bodies? And worse the bits of bodies. Did they simply bag them all together, not caring if Joe bloggs’ arm is in the bag labelled Mr Not Joe Bloggs. Bit disrespectful?
Go on to Building 5,
Go onto the admitted cover ups, those the US Government now admits to.
Supplying the explosives and orchestrating the Stadium bombings,
The sinking of USS ?? that started the Vietnam War,
The Cuba Crisis where they were caught trying to shoot down one of their own Commercial aircraft to blame on the Cubans.
I read once that we now all subliminally add the word Theory to the word conspiracy. Whenever we hear of a conspiracy, we automatically think “Conspiracy Theory”. But sadly most conspiracies are just that conspiracies. They are not theories they are facts.
Maybe we should now start thinking Conspiracy Fact, as it has been proven time and time again to be just that.
So rather than pointing an arrow at the
“Found all the nutterz again ↑”
I would look in a mirror and think what a gullible fool I am….

@lichgore - 100%.- Nail on the head. A case of the Emperor has no clothes.
We all go along with only nut cases would believe in conspiracies.
Missing the point is a conspiracy is an actual thing. It does not require the word theory.
A lot of time and effort has been made to link those two words.
AND like fools the public believe the Emperor is wearing the finest clothes, and conspiracy means nut job
