“CONSPIRACY THEORIES”
The description “Conspiracy Theory” is bandied about these days by people reluctant to consider if a state of affairs is true or not eg: Was the last US Election stolen? I am thankful to Richard, who has written to me listing what he feels are the most salient points. It reminds this old monkey of the verse in the Bible warning about “Scoffers”:
2 Peter 3:3-4
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

COUNTER THINK AND COUNTERING THOSE WHO DON’T, WON’T OR REFUSE TO THINK:
WHEN FACT VERSUS FICTION is applied to those who would label any other person “A conspiracy theorist” – ie: someone who questions all manner of things seen as inviolable, Richard presents the following seven points for consideration:
SEVEN STATES OF A TRANSPARENCY (cognizance?) ANTI CONSPIRACY THEORIST:
A person who:
1. Blindly adheres to the dogma of the day
2. Believes or accepts, without question, the parade of prevailing narratives
3. Consumes main-stream media as the sole source of reality and truth
4. Is prone to obedient submission
5. Seeking safety, can be prone to outbursts of irrational fear
6. Can become aggressive when confronted with concepts that challenge that which is held sacrosanct and safe
7. In defence of dearly-held beliefs, is open to ridiculing and public-shaming those who are free-thinkers and choose independent thought over being beholden to the group mind
This monkey agrees whole heartedly with this assessment, and will continue to encourage robust discussions about the many subjects that the “Cancel Culture” movement are trying to shut down and de-platform platforms that assist in publishing these views. The evil Cabal persists in trying to impose their New World Order on humanity. I reckon it will be bad for zoos too!
Gibber! Gibber!
