Recognizing Real Conspiracy Theories

Since the planning and oaths behind real conspiracies theories are done in secret, how can the general public recognize them? You need to look at the results.

Did an individual, group of people, or government entity unethically receive more money and power?

Ethical moneymaking is when you trade your services and commodities for someone else’s services and commodities. Everything is out in the open. Both parties willingly give their consent.

Plunder sends up a red flag warning you of a conspiracy. Legal plunder is especially dangerous. It involves more planning and changes public sentiment. (If you don’t understand what legal plunder is, read The Law by Fredric Bastiat.)

Did the general public trade freedom for safety? Is there greater government regulation after the event? Remember that the ultimate goal of real conspiracy theories is to overthrow freedom.

Events are orchestrated to create fear in people. Are people more willing to give up their freedoms after the event? Many times the unknowing public will come under the control of the ones who secretly orchestrated the event.

War and killing should NEVER be on the offense. Stay at home and defend your life, liberty, and property from intruders. As soon as you go on the offense and intrude upon someone else’s life, liberty, and property, you’re in the wrong. Excuses can be made why someone is entering someone else’s domain with violence, but it’s a red flag warning you of a real conspiracy at work.

Take Courage, and Have Faith

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! It’s unsettling to see the awful situation we are in worldwide. Pray to God. Ask him what you can do. He will answer you. Then move forward with courage and goodness. Your heart will be at peace. All the money in the world can’t buy peace. God be with you. He has the real power. God supports those who put their trust in him. Even if you die while supporting true principles and freedom, return to God knowing that you did your best. Your reward is waiting for you.
