A conspiracy theory (conspiracy theology) is a set of hypotheses that try to describe a chain of events that are important for society, reliable historical realities or epochal processes as the result of a conspiracy by a group of people leading this movement out of self-interest, ambition or other clan, group and other interests. Roosevelt Franklin Delano once said: “Nothing happens by chance in politics. If something happened, then it was conceived. "
The conspiracy theory is considered as one of the unusual versions of the judgment of the elites. For small groups and individuals, conspiracy theology attributes the fantastic possibilities of managing and controlling intricate political and social processes.
Preconditions for the emergence of conspiracy theories
World conspiracies are being tracked by people with deep spiritual and social interests. Understanding the provisions of conspiracy theory is possible only with the simultaneous study of the mechanisms of projection, stereotyping and the phenomenon of escapism. Many experts believe that this concept is successful only because of an ideological reaction to social inequality.
The projection device shows that the supporter of the theory usually transfers some of his positive and negative personal qualities to the alleged participants in the intrigue. Moreover, they take on inflated forms. At first glance, the schemers are demonized, they are credited with both personal immorality and evil intentions. This allows you to eliminate any ethical restrictions in actions in relation to suspected conspirators, to avoid criminal liability or moral conviction.
After all, the one who destroys these monsters should be recognized as the winner, and not the villain. If you take a closer look at these nuances, you can see that conspirators are endowed with special skills (cunning, intelligence, determination, and so on).
Foucault Pendulum
What leads to the desire to circumvent cognitive dissonance? A person who has adopted a conspiracy theory is almost impossible to convince her to abandon. A person ignores all facts that contradict the assumption, or rejects them with the help of classical methods of secret studies.
By the way, any harmless fact that has no connection with the case can, with some effort, be included in the image offered by conspiracy theology. Umberto Eco in Foucault's Pendulum put it this way: “If we imagine that there is at least one starting point in the Universe that is not a sign of something else, we will immediately find ourselves outside of hermetic thought.”
The theory of memes says that conspirators are memes that compete with the meme of the traditional picture of the world. Their success is built on distrust of generally accepted sources of knowledge and authority of experts.
Conspirology
The existing world conspiracy groups (oligarchic or elitist), sects, special services and so on are trying to explore and classify. The desire to discover information that for whatever reason they are trying to conceal from society leads to the appearance of conspiracy theories or secret studies. Sometimes political speculation is passed off as research conducted by the followers of this science. So, the publicist Gardner Lawrence claims that the Stuart family descended from Jesus Christ through the Carolingian and Merovingian dynasty. This author explains the legitimacy of finding Prince Michael Albany on the Scottish throne.
Typology of conspiracies
How do world conspiracies reveal? Usually, a statement appears about the existence of a subtle and unknown secret society, founded by a handful of people who want to seize power over the world. The activity of this group explains historical events that have a negative image for the target audience of the doctrine. The followers of such interpretations also postulate the relationship between modern and historical episodes, which are the stages of the implementation of global conspiracy plans.
In most cases, global conspiracy theories become famous in times of crisis - political and economic instability.
If the broad masses of society do not want to understand the objective causes of the problem, the search begins for elementary answers, as well as the selection of those responsible for the crisis, of enemies. It follows that total concepts give way to destructive chaotic social energy. They can be used both in the interests of the ruling elite (the Black Hundreds in Tsarist Russia) and against it (in the Weimar Republic, the Nazis). Why are world conspiracies good? Global theories are the most effective tool for processing the masses in crisis circles, although mediocrity in this case can lead to an absolutely unforeseen result.
Each society has social groups that are more prone to supporting and perceiving world intriguing concepts. In general, these teachings are gaining assistance among those who grumble at the current situation in society, especially those who are indignant at their personal position. Since the crisis cycles sharply increase the number of such individuals, the support of world theories of intrigue increases in an identical proportion.
Conspiracies
In ancient times, the Secret World Government tried to conspire against the world through Egyptian priests with mysterious skills. With their help, the pharaohs and the people were controlled. In the Middle Ages, the secret government in Europe was the clergy - popes and cardinals, who laid the foundation for the Inquisition and the Crusades. The following conspiracy theories are most popular today:
- Computer conspiracy. There is a version that manufacturers of software (software) are specifically developing products that constantly require the use of increasingly powerful computers to support the demand for expensive components.
- Collusion of oil industry workers. The conspiratorial concept says that the owners of the largest oil corporations hinder the development of multivariate energy, preventing an energy revolution.
- Mondialist conspiracy is the latest form of conspiracy theology, exposing the plans of the Secret World Government of recent decades. This version of the theory is specific in that the United States is the basic object of monitoring. It is this country that is becoming a special geopolitical center that owns an unusual and controversial in some aspects futurological and cultural concept.
- The conspiracy plan, which combines the theories of the Jewish and Masonic agreements, is called a conspiracy of the Zhidomasons.
- The Arab conspiracy is an Islamist global rebellion against Western culture.
Theory analysis
According to George Entin (an honorary professor at the University of Pennsylvania), it is usually not so much about scientific theories as guesses, myths, and rumors.
Conspiracy theories, as a rule, are used for an accessible interpretation of intricate social events. But any process in economics, politics and many other areas is the result of actions agreed between two or more persons. These manipulations can be interpreted as a conspiracy. However, Adam Smith also determined that it is the mutual benefit of each of the subjects that is the basic stimulating argument for actions in the economy. Karl Marx discovered that politics depends on the economy, as it is guided by its needs and limited by its means.
The conspiracy of world government was discovered by scientists, summarizing all the facts on the basis of a mathematical model. Conspiracy theory is not used to expose intriguers, but to disguise the true causes of a phenomenon with mystical explanations. The basic core of conspiracy theories is private and completely impersonal (otherwise the case will be dealt with in court, and it may be lost) a hint of a social subject (corporation, company, country, nationality), responsible for the current situation or some events, analysis of his motivation. In addition, the idea of ​​non-institutionalized, secret power (supervision) plays an important role in conspiracy theology.
Sergey Kara-Murza believes that the term “conspiracy theory” is turning into an appraisal, and is used by many audiences as a sure method to shorten the language of an opponent.
World government
The world government is called the concept of aggregate political domination over the entire human race. Various interpretations of the conspiracy endow the mission of world leadership with fictional and real structures (Freemasonry, Judaism, Illuminati, Bidelberg Club, G20 - Group of Twenty).
Today there is no world army, legislative, judicial or executive branch with jurisdiction covering the entire globe.
Secret World Directory
So, we continue to study the world conspiracy. “Secret world government” - one of the basic terms of the interpretation of the conspiracy, which defines a narrow circle of people. These may be the owners of the largest national corporations, which, according to the followers of such exercises, determine the appearance and control the development of basic events taking place in the world. They are the ones who want to create a “new world order”.
goal
What is the purpose of the global conspiracy? The secret world government is striving to create a society based on the principle of the "golden billion." This is precisely how the conspiracy theorists argue. They believe that this "golden billion" will include members of the "higher guilds" and attorneys of the "most developed and worthy" nations.
What is the secret of the world conspiracy? Other nations (Asians, Russians, Africans) have been assigned the role of a servant of mining, mining, the entire economic industry. This “useful part” supposedly consists of one and a half billion people, while the rest of the population (more than four billion), say the followers of the theory, is “unnecessary” and is systematically exterminated with the help of drugs, alcohol, tobacco smoking, revolutions.
One of the most famous groups present in conspiracy theories that denounce the secret world leadership is Freemasonry. Sometimes a secret directory is presented fused with transnational financial institutions.
Bad pharma
“The whole truth about medicines: a global conspiracy of pharmaceutical companies” is the Russian edition of the book by the British scientist and physician Ben Goldaker, which tells about the pharmaceutical industry, its collaboration with physicians, and pharmaceutical companies monitoring drug research trials. "Bad Pharma" is the English edition of this book. In fact, in it, Ben Goldaker describes the lies of pharmaceutical companies. He claims that these businesses harm patients and mislead doctors.
The book was first published in September 2012 in the UK by HarperCollins Publishers LLC. In February 2013, it was released in the United States by Faber and Faber.
Ben Goldaker revealed a very dangerous world conspiracy. He in his book talks about the fact that the manufacture of medicines today is changing for the worse, since the principles on which it is based are constantly violated by the pharmaceutical industry. The industry finances most clinical drug trials. Concealment of adverse testing by drug companies is a common occurrence.
Clinical trials are often conducted on atypical small volunteer groups. Pharmaceutical corporations are investing tremendously in the training of doctors, and, apparently, scientific “independent” publications are activated or even ordered by pharmaceutical companies or their contractors, which is hidden. Goldaker describes the current situation in the modern pharmaceutical market as “deadly” and suggests ways to solve these problems for scientists, patient associations, doctors and the industry itself.
Automotive industry
What is a global conspiracy of automakers? Proponents of the theory of this conspiracy believe that car manufacturers deliberately reduce the reliability of components and assemblies so that they serve a little longer than the warranty period. Cars spoil, which forces people to buy new cars or spare parts - in any case, manufacturers make a profit.
The prerequisites of this conspiracy are the merger of large machine manufacturers into corporations and the fullness of the market.
Confrontation
Consider a world conspiracy against Russia. The media express concern about the confrontation between Russia and the United States and its consequences. The basic informative reason for this was the elections in Lugansk and Donetsk, as well as the negative statements of Western leaders about the Russian position.
The emirate newspaper al-Bayan wrote that because of these elections, the Russian Federation was in a confused position: it cannot openly support them, but cannot but recognize it as legitimate. Therefore, Russia made an ordinary decision: Moscow continues to push these regions towards negotiations with Kiev, without formally recognizing their independence. Probably, it’s more profitable for her to slow down the Ukrainian confrontation today.
All facts indicate that there is a world conspiracy: the secret world government is unpredictable in its actions. The media tried to figure out how far Putin would be willing to go in his growing conflict with the West and the desire to strengthen Russia in the geopolitical field. Will he have enough strength for this? Political scientists believe that the Russian Federation should prepare for a long period of economic difficulties and diplomatic isolation, since after the reign of Putin, confrontation with the West will continue. It will affect the cultural, political and economic spheres. But Putin’s popularity, by the way, hasn’t yet affected all these nuances. According to opinion polls, 74% of Russian citizens support their president.
The Qatari publication al-Watan reports that today the sharp decline in world oil prices is the result of an American administration conspiracy against the Russian Federation, recreated after the collapse of the USSR. Having settled the situation inside the country and having made a gigantic economic leap, Russia began to revive its influence in the world, which it is doing excellently, including due to the short-sighted policy of America.
