Bad News For Conspiracists:

Seeing Is No Longer Believing 

http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2018/09/npr-tracking-down-fake-videos.html

Alan: Trump -- who launched his presidential campaign with the birther hoax and supposed need for a xenophobic, largely ineffectual wall -- is the ultimate beneficiary of conspiracism.

Even though a few conspiracy theories may have truth in them, the overwhelming majority of these theories work to advance the cause of Trumpism and other forms of unhinged, existentially-destructive conservatism.

Even though I recognize that "something" does not "square" between "The Official Story of 9/11" and "facts on the ground" -- and although I respect the Kennedy family's suspicions concerning "The Warren Report" -- I will go to my grave resisting almost all manifestations of the conspiratorial swamp.

Note well:

Conspiracism is fundamental to America's unraveling, a political, social and cultural deconstruction which for many conservatives -- particularly "conservative" "Christians" -- is The Goal.

Just eliminate the "built-up" evils of earth, and God - ex machina - will make it all "better."

Hannah Arendt: The Horror Of Normality

Alan: Ultimately, Trump supporters are enemies of Civilization itself. 

As haphazard and broken as civilization may be, it is "something to work with," not the apocalyptic "purging of the earth" that aspires to "start over" through "purifying conflagration" - a "fire next time" that will be no more successful than The Garden of Eden, or Noah "re-starting" the world with his own "righteous kin," people who within a generation, were at least as degenerate as the antediluvian world.
