Social IQ Test: Conspiracy Theory Edition – If You Don’t Believe This You’ll Believe Anything

by
Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

Depending upon in which circles you run, or chant among burning candles, the term conspiracy theory has no doubt been tossed around. Among most, it has become a pejorative term to dismiss those who voice their distrust in official narratives or reported stories of major world-changing events.

Among others, it’s a badge of honor indicating a healthy level of distrust for a world full of, often powerful and elite, criminal conspirators. At least that’s what Elvis told me at last’s weeks Tin-Foil Hat Brigade meeting.

It is important to note for a conspiracy theory to emerge there must always be an official story it is built to challenge.

Some of the more popular conspiracy theories include:

  • Official story: President Kennedy was assassinated by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald.
  • Conspiracy Theory: He was assassinated by a team of jilted female lovers working for the CIA
  • Official story: 9/11 was coordinated by Osama Bin Laden and Saudi Arabian Muslim extremists
  • Conspiracy Theory: 9/11 was an inside job coordinated by the FAA, Dick Cheney, and George Bush to raise awareness regarding the need for better airline pilots

The beautiful thing about both the official story and the conspiracy theories is their believability, or as one of my assets refers to it “plausible deniability.” What is plausible deniability? It’s the ability of the actual perpetrators (re: intelligence community) to claim denial of any wrongdoing on plausible grounds.

For you non-theorists, that’s a battlemented way of saying “lying.”

So, assuming JFK was shot by a coordinated effort among the CIA, anti-Castro Cubans, and the Mafia (as is assumed in Oliver Stone’s movie), all with shared means and motives, having Lee Harvey Oswald, a known Communist, at the scene and a narrative that claims he was the lone assassin, despite the reports of multiple shots from around the grassy knoll area, create a plausibly deniable scenario allowing the actual conspirators to escape.

The goal of most crimes is to escape unless you’re a mass shooter, which is obviously a suicide mission meant to call attention to your plight. Lee Harvey was a man ahead of his time.
