The Thinking Housewife's Shoddy Thinking About "GOP Aide Fired For Accusing Crisis Actors"
Alan: In her 3 sentence post about an alleged "crisis acting hoax" at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, The Thinking Housewife opens with this comment: "Why would he (Kelly) have been fired if there was no merit to what he had said?"
Conspiracists think their arguments have validity by the mere fact that they have conjectured them.
However, for anyone who is not eager to be misled there are many reasons why people can be fired, not least of which is being an asshole.
Or for asserting unsubstantiated nonsense.
Although conspiracists allege "crisis acting hoax" behind EVERY high school gun slaughter in recent years, a fundamental question needs to be asked:
"Since pulling off any large-scale hoax involves hundreds if not thousands of colluding actors, high school staff, hospital workers, police forces and townsfolk, why has there never been a single person in any of these categories who has "spilled the beans."
Not one.
If you, or I, or The Thinking Housewife herself worked at any of the high schools that have been attacked and it were alleged that ANY of the deceased were participants in a large-scale ruse (whose fundamental purpose was to sour Americans on 2nd Amendment Rights), EVERY ONE OF US would be super-charged to decry the conspiracy.
Yet there is not one whistle-blowing insider.
Not one.
Scores of high schools with thousands of local people having a ringside seat and NOT ONE whistleblower.
Wishful thinking and de novo speculation ("supported" by evidence that would never be admissible in a court of law) can make anything seem plausible just as it seems to nearly half the population of the United States that Donald Trump is a good man who "will make America great again."
Not surprisingly, Trump is Conspiracist-In-Chief, having launched his campaign on the "birther" allegation that Obama was born in Kenya and therefore ineligible to be president.
Nor is it surprising that Trump is a fan of Alex Jones, a whacky conspiracist whose talk show has supported the allegation that NASA operates a "Child Slave Colony on Mars."

And after you've lied to yourself long enough...
...it becomes nearly impossible to recant because your whole life -- and, more importantly, your whole identity -- have been re-established on a foundation on falsehood.
For the radically deceived, this question looms: "How could I ever again trust myself if I admit that I have been so thoroughly deceived, not by childhood conditioning, but as a mature, well-educated adult?"
