If there wasn't any conspiracy by the media and major political parties is there any way that the public would have chosen the two most disliked candidates in history, assuming they actually did choose these two?
If the media provided coverage for all candidates including ones running from the grassroots would the majority of the public even consider these two clowns?
The Mass Media, which is controlled by a fraction of one percent of the population, routinely rigs elections by simply refusing to cover grassroots candidates while giving obsession coverage to those that cater to the interests of corporate donors. For all practical purposes, they made it a requirement that candidates collect an enormous amount of money from corporations before the media will call them viable and provide them coverage. They discuss how they make decisions about coverage behind closed doors and don't let people know how large portions of the electoral system work.
That fits the definition of a conspiracy!!
Edit since I first posted this more evidence indicating that the Democratic Party has been involved in credible conspiracies has come out first with the Democratic National Committee E-Mails then with the Podesta E-Mails; and even though the more farfetched flawed Apocalypse theory described below still has unexplained flaws more similarities have taken place that make it easier to understand why some people believe it and harder to completely dismiss as described below.
When people have secret discussions about activities about how to manipulate the public that is by definition a conspiracy and it is standard operating procedure!!
What they're doing now goes way beyond the usual conspiracies they use to manipulate the public and it never would have happened if the political establishment didn't do one absurd thing after another that inevitably led to absurd results.
For what it's worth the conclusions I've drawn, so far, don't fit the definition of a conspiracy theory since there's enough public knowledge to draw these conclusions without speculating on things that happen in secret. It doesn't fit the definition of a conspiracy theory until after I speculate about things without adequate information to prove it; and there is adequate information to prove the conclusion they're manipulating the system in secrecy.
Furthermore if the current nominees, who're both involved in so many scandals they should never be taken seriously for presidential candidates, aren't a result of a bizarre conspiracy; then it would be even more absurd than if they are. There should be no surprise that both of them are having even more scandals exposed now that they've been declared the presumptive nominees by the traditional media. Most of these are additional revelations about old scandals; and the media could have done much more to cover them and remind the public about how corrupt both of these nominees are if they wanted to.
Anyone familiar with typical political manipulation tactics might wonder why they can't do a better job picking a candidate that at least appears to be a reasonably good choice and doesn't have the lowest approval ratings since records have been kept. And they have the two worst ones in history at the same time.
They do have good enough political operatives to realize that this would be a disaster.
It doesn't take a genius to suspect something absurd is going on here.
Even before the story, still being ignored by mainstream media,
Guccifer 2.0 Leak Reveals How DNC Rigged Primaries for Clinton 06/17/2016, broke it was obvious that the media has been trying to present Hillary Clinton as the presumptive nominee for years, long before anyone had a vote in the primary. They also knew that she was involved in epidemic levels of fraud that date back decades. They had to know that if they provided her with reasonably fair coverage and also provided reasonably fair coverage for at least half a dozen other candidates, like they usually do she wouldn't have a chance. This is what they usually do and it still involves rigging the elections so that grassroots candidates don't have a chance since they ignore them.
But at least it seemed like a reasonable democratic choice to those that didn't think too hard.
They also had to know that if they kept manipulating the emotions of the vast majority of the Republican electorate so they could take advantage of their voting on social issues to impose fiscal policies that would dramatically increase income inequality more and more over the decades even some of these people would start realizing they've been fooled. They have enough research on demagogues that go back to Greek times to realize that they could be fooled by another one like Donald Trump.
They had to know that if they gave Trump insane amounts of free coverage that they were helping him to win the nomination by playing the latest demagogue. They've created enough demagogues of their own and they know that if they put him in a field with incredibly outrageous and incompetent candidates that he could beat them.
This is very similar to what they did to rig the primary for Mitt Romney who was an obvious sacrificial lamb in 2012.
Many of us predicted that if we fell for the same lesser of two evils choice then it would get even worse this year and it has.
This wasn't a paranormal prophecy on our part; it was simple logical deduction.
Amazingly even John Ellis Bush (JEB) claimed that he thought there was a chance that Trump and Clinton could be involved in
a conspiracy theory; however the possibility that they're involved in such a straight forward conspiracy is highly unlikely since it would never have a chance if they didn't have help from people like Jeb Bush. In order for Trump to walk away with the nomination the way he did Jeb had to do an incredibly bad job and so did all the other candidates but they had enough advisers to know that they couldn't take such extreme positions, even though the majority of the public was starting to catch on, and still win.
This might not completely rule out a conspiracy to either use Clinton to help elect Trump or use Trump to help elect Clinton; but it would have to be part of a much larger conspiracy since they could do this in a much simpler way by giving their candidate better coverage without making both candidates seem like lunatics. If such a conspiracy is taking place it isn't just to elect the candidate of their choice; but they would want to do it in an incredibly bizarre manner!
Why would they even consider anything so absurd?
Also the claim that Donald Trump is anti-establishment is obviously false. Real anti-establishment never have a chance because they never get any coverage from the media at all. This is routinely explained by saying that he gets an enormous amount of what they've been calling "earned media time" as if they have no control of how they decide who to cover how much. The enormous amount of time that they gave to him wasn't the result of an accident. Their idea of "earned media time" clearly doesn't have anything to do with doing a good job explaining the issues so the public would have information they need to make decisions in their own best interests.
Additional evidence to indicate that he isn't anti-establishment is that his policies aren't different from the traditional Republicans and he is flip flopping as often as other candidates if not more often like traditional establishment candidates. The traditional establishment has been training "anti-establishment" to campaign against the establishment for decades then once they get into office they routinely demonstrate that they were part of the establishment all along.
They've been doing it so often that they have to make their "anti-establishment" seem more extreme and appeal to emotions more in order to make it work, which seems to have been what they're doing.
But it shouldn't take a genius to recognize ahead of time that it is bound to backfire if they take it to too much of an extreme while refusing to take care of basic functions of a functioning society like repairing roads maintaining and reasonable education and health care system and many other basic functions of society.
They have to realize that if they use political manipulation to steal everything they can get their hands on without carrying out basic functions it will backfire; even if they are scaring the majority of the public with threats from terrorists or crime, which are being greatly exaggerated. Even after the Orlando shooting terrorism isn't killing nearly as many people as car accidents, lack of health care or many other things.
That doesn't mean that some of the most common conspiracy theories aren't too absurd, and more important logically flawed, to be true; however many of them aren't anymore absurd than the official truth which is also logically flawed; so simply stereotyping them as an
absurd conspiracy theory isn't enough to discredit them. No doubt there will be some seriously flawed ones to sort through before the public can confirm one that is more rational, assuming we do get enough sincere reform to sort through the details and expose the real truth.
Amazingly, intentionally or not, Hillary Clinton, her advisors and the political establishment may have taken actions to make one of the more farfetched conspiracy theories seem real. Religious extremists that call themselves "Fundamentalists" even though they don't start with fundamentals or get them right, have been calling her the “Whore of Babylon” for years if not decades, including this Yahoo discussion from 2007
Could Hillary Clinton become the “Whore of Babylon”? The case he makes would almost certainly not seem rational to most moderate religious or secular people, especially when it was written. But it should be enough to let the establishment know that they shouldn't try to make this absurd case against her seem to have some degree of legitimacy.
A close look at Revelations Chapters 17 and 18 which that discussion recommends probably wouldn't have fit Hillary Clinton's record without a large stretch of the imagination which only religious extremists might be inclined to do.
After her outrageous record as Secretary of State, however it might not seem quite so obviously absurd to some moderate religious or even some secular people, although it still has problems, some of which I'll get to. Even if, as Hillary Clinton supporters must believe, this claim is absurd it is hard to imaging they would want to create more similarities with her and any figure from the book of revelations, yet that might be what they did on the night that she allegedly won the California and New Jersey primaries giving her the delegates that she needed to declare herself the presumptive nominee.
When she made her speech she was dressed in white and they created light effects that seemed to give her an
Angelic glow that made her look spectacular; but it was too much and obvious hype too anyone with a minimum amount of familiarity with these types of special effects. However hyping politics and everything else has become standard operating procedure; but this clip, which they played repeatedly in the days after it was more obvious than most.
This clip looked strikingly like Revelations 19;8 "His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints." This seems trivial and if it was the only similarity with Revelations it would be irrelevant, especially since this is actually referring to the bride of the "Lamb" which some people might interpret as Christ, not the Whore of Babylon; however, the "Lamb" is also involved in a lot of violence to defeat those portrayed as evil, using same tactics as the evil ones, and there are a lot of other similarities to the Whore of Babylon as described in Revelations which became much stronger as indicated in the following verses:
17;1 One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls came to speak to me, and said, 'Come here and I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute who is enthroned beside abundant waters,
5 on her forehead was written a name, a cryptic name: 'Babylon the Great, the mother of all the prostitutes and all the filthy practices on the earth.'
6 I saw that she was drunk, drunk with the blood of the saints, and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus; and when I saw her, I was completely mystified.
16 But the ten horns and the beast will turn against the prostitute, and tear off her clothes and leave her stark naked; then they will eat her flesh and burn the remains in the fire.
17 In fact, God has influenced their minds to do what he intends, to agree together to put their royal powers at the beast's disposal until the time when God's words shall be fulfilled.
18 The woman you saw is the great city which has authority over all the rulers on earth.'
Chapter 17
18;3 All the nations have drunk deep of the wine of her prostitution; every king on the earth has prostituted himself with her, and every merchant grown rich through her debauchery.'
4 Another voice spoke from heaven; I heard it say, 'Come out, my people, away from her, so that you do not share in her crimes and have the same plagues to bear.
5 Her sins have reached up to the sky, and God has her crimes in mind: treat her as she has treated others.
6 She must be paid double the amount she exacted. She is to have a doubly strong cup of her own mixture.
7 Every one of her pomps and orgies is to be matched by a torture or an agony. I am enthroned as queen, she thinks; I am no widow and will never know bereavement.
8 For that, in one day, the plagues will fall on her: disease and mourning and famine. She will be burned to the ground. The Lord God who has condemned her is mighty.'
9 'There will be mourning and weeping for her by the kings of the earth who have prostituted themselves with her and held orgies with her. They see the smoke as she burns,
23 never again will shine the light of the lamp in you, never again will be heard in you the voices of bridegroom and bride. Your traders were the princes of the earth, all the nations were led astray by your sorcery.
Chapter 18
19;2 He judges fairly, he punishes justly, and he has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her prostitution; he has avenged the blood of his servants which she shed.'
7 let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb.
8 His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'
11 And now I saw heaven open, and a white horse appear; its rider was called Trustworthy and True; in uprightness he judges and makes war.
13 his cloak was soaked in blood. He is known by the name, The Word of God.
15 From his mouth came a sharp sword with which to strike the unbelievers; he is the one who will rule them with an iron sceptre, and tread out the wine of Almighty God's fierce retribution.
18 You will eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of great generals and heroes, the flesh of horses and their riders and of all kinds of people, citizens and slaves, small and great alike.'
19 Then I saw the beast, with all the kings of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight the Rider and his army.
20 But the beast was taken prisoner, together with the false prophet who had worked miracles on the beast's behalf and by them had deceived those who had accepted branding with the mark of the beast and those who had worshipped his statue. These two were hurled alive into the fiery lake of burning sulphur.
Chapter 19
As I said previously there are always problems with trying to interpret Biblical prophecy; however religious extremists have already indicated that they believe Hillary Clinton is the Whore of Babylon; so even if most secular people don’t take it seriously it is worth considering this hypothesis since religious people believe it. Also there is an enormous amount of absurd behavior from both nominees the media and some of these similarities might be much closer than most people would have expected.
One of the problems that many religious people might be reluctant to acknowledge is from Revelations 17;17 “In fact, God has influenced their minds to do what he intends, to agree together to put their royal powers at the beast's disposal until the time when God's words shall be fulfilled,” which indicates that if people take this literally God is admitting that he’s influencing peoples minds so that they fall for this deception until God’s objective’s, what ever they are, happen. This should be an obvious case of entrapment. It also indicates that
God is allegedly staging events so that his prophecies will come about instead of teaching people how to avoid them. Many of these prophecies include an enormous amount of atrocities so a merciful God would never try to bring them about.
Revelations 3;3 says "remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you." This should also raise doubts which religious people are reluctant to acknowledge. If God or his messenger comes like a thief in the night as several other verses describe it, then he is shrouding his activities and motives in secrecy, assuming he exists and this is a revelation from him. This should indicate that God has an ulterior motive and is using us for his own purposes; not that he is a reliable source for moral judgement. The assumption that a
God that inspires religion as described in the bible, and at best remains silent, or at worst actually incites a lot of violence or participates in it as described in the Bible is a credible source of morality is highly irrational.
However religious people believe this is a true prophecy and that
God is merciful despite this and there seem to be other similarities they might point out to make their case. The Whore of Babylon is described as someone who has connections with kings and traders which could be similar to modern heads of states and corporate CEOs. These kings and traders are involved in enormous amounts of fraud and violence resulting in deaths of innocents. They also turn on each other when it suits their purposes developing alliances only when they think they can gain from it.
Hillary Clinton may have fit this description prior to being Secretary of State as First Lady or a Walmart board member; but as Secretary of State the similarities are much harder to completely deny, although they are vague enough that those that want to either completely deny them or say they’re overwhelming proof of what ever they want to believe can do so, and already are.
There are several stories about Hillary Clinton being drunk on numerous occasions, although the evidence behind these stories aren’t as strong as some of the other activities; but fundamentalists could still cite this as evidence that she’s drunk with power. There are also plenty of presumptuous news clips of her saying or implying that she’s the presumptive nominee before it wasn’t quite official and she acts as if there is no fraud surrounding the election even though there is enormous evidence of it.
There’s also evidence of her temper, including when she angrily said, “I’m sick and tired of the Sanders campaign lying about my record,” when she was actually talking to a Greenpeace representative and neither that representative or the Sander’s campaign was lying about her record, which was full of her own lies. One of the most blatant examples of her laughing about violence and turning on former allies was when she met with Qaddafi's son, Mutassim Gaddafi as part of the resumed diplomatic relations from several years earlier; then after the Libyan rebellion took place she pushed to bomb them increasing turmoil eventually turning it into a haven for terrorists. Most bizarre was when she was asked about it and laughed about the torture and killing of both Qaddafi and his son, Mutassim Gaddafi who she previously met.
This is far more like they type of behavior people might expect from “The Whore of Babylon” than someone that is trying to bring peace stability and fairness to the world.
Revelations 17;16 says "But the ten horns and the beast will turn against the prostitute, and tear off her clothes and leave her stark naked; then they will eat her flesh and burn the remains in the fire." This could bear some similarity to Hillary Clinton riding the Beast in, who could be Donald Trump, by taking his donations when they were allies then when they became adversaries they started attacking each other and exposing each others scams.
Is this beginning to sound too far-fetched? I'm sure it does, but this is not uncommon when it comes to interpreting the Bible. From a more rational point of view little of these Biblical conspiracy theories should be taken seriously unless there is much more corroborative evidence or something that we can be certain of.
However there is enough evidence that with or without a bizarre Biblical conspiracy It is insane to constantly pursue a foreign policy that involves constantly bombing people all over the world then trying to pretend we're holding a high moral ground. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump want to continue using military force when it suits their purposes without acknowledging that a major part of the reason people around the world hate the United States Government is because when we bomb people around the world we constantly kill innocent people refereed to as "collateral damage," which would never be considered justified when they bomb us; and the United States Government is also constantly selling weapons to many tyrants that are often either used to kill more innocent people or turned against us and used to kill our own veterans fight wars based on lies.
With or without a bizarre Biblical conspiracy we should do much more to ensure that the vast majority of the public has the information and education they need to participate in the democratic process. We also need to do far more to take care of simple basic functions like repairing roads and providing reasonable Health Care for the majority of the public, if not everyone.
With or without a bizarre Biblical conspiracy there is no reasonable excuse for winding up with two incredibly corrupt and incompetent nominees that the Media is telling us are the only "viable" candidates.
With or without a bizarre Biblical conspiracy there is and enormous amount of absurd and insane activities treated as if they're normal and acceptable by both the media and political establishment, who're not even trying to bring about sincere reform; instead they're trying to convince the majority of the public that the status quo can't be changed now or ever. this is true even though they often acknowledge that at least one of the major problems we face, Climate Change could cause irreversible harm if it isn't addressed with major changes.
Have they all gone collectively insane?
On numerous past articles I have pointed out that this could be one of many unsolved mysteries that the establishment isn't addressing properly. One of the earliest that I went into was
107 Wonders of the Ancient World which explains that there are major unsolved mysteries that go back to Biblical times including enormous megaliths moved large distances that shouldn't have been possible based on experiments to replicate these ancient wonders. This was followed up with several additional posts about a
UFO Hypothesis with rational use of Occam's Razor The strongest evidence for a major unsolved mystery that might involve UFOs might be the megaliths of Crop Circles which I reviewed more in
Why so few arrests for Crop Circles makers? Is there microwave evidence? This was followed up by a couple of articles about research that is definitely going on, however if there is something to the unsolved mysteries including UFOs they could be much larger research projects including
"God's Not Dead" But Is He Nice? where I speculated about the possibility that if Ancient Aliens have been visiting our planet for decades and they influenced the moving of the megaliths thousands of years ago that they might be involved in large research projects that could include Climate Change research; and
Multinationals Are Using Public For Research On Massive Scale where I reviewed medical research surrounding many common drugs as well as Genetically modified Organisms and anti-depressants.
No doubt this seems far-fetched to many rational skeptics especially if they haven't checked into the details or aren't aware of the unsolved mysteries that mainstream media and science institutions aren't adequately addressing so reasonable skepticism is understandable and advisable; however the current political establishment and media has become so absurd that the official version of the truth is becoming as far-fetched as some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories.
At best some of the theories considered are incomplete or rough around the edges but they do a better job addressing many of these unsolved mysteries that the traditional media does. I suspect, there is also evidence, as indicated in previous articles, that some of the highest profile experts aren't even trying to get many of their facts right, which enables them to continue arguing without resolving anything.
This is the same thing that goes on in the political establishment when it comes to trying to end corruption.
Whether any of these theories are close or not it should be clear that we need to do much more to reform out Democratic system and we can't count on our so-called leaders to do it for us. If they wanted to do a good job they would have done much better long ago before it became this insane. Even if these far-fetched conspiracies aren't true simpler ones are being exposed almost on a daily bases and we need much more disclosure that should be standard operating procedure.
Whether this is close to the truth or not neither nominee has been made official and if enough people speak loud and clear enough then we still have an opportunity to either get one or both removed as the nominee or take advantage of the incredibly high unfavorable ratings and finally convince people to vote for an alternative party candidate, finally breaking up the corporate duopoly.
Edit 11/10/2016: Since I first posted this plenty of additional evidence has come out confirming that the Democratic Party has been rigging the coverage in collusion with the media and even some more farfetched evidence indicating there are more similarities with the Book of Revelations have come out, although these haven't explained all the flaws; but there are more similarities than a rational skeptic might expect.
I provided a series of posts on the DNC leaks and the Podesta leaks providing stronger evidence than the more farfetched theories starting with
DNC Describe Wink And Nod Method For Bribes & Indoctrination Studies and
DNC leaks 2 3 and
and the Podesta Leaks posts started with
Impeachment Begins With Lesser Evil Choice Podesta E-Mails 2 3 4 and
5. These articles cover reliable conspiracies that have been conclusively proven although some of the details may still be subject to confirmation.
The evidence, if you want to call it that that might show additional similarities with the book of Revelations is less reliable, of course. However the similarities with some limited aspects of Apocalypse has increased even more with the vindictive campaign including the debates where Donald Trump said that Hillary Clinton would be in jail if he was president and the unprecedented vindictiveness at the Al Smith dinner. Both of these candidates were under criminal investigation during their campaigns which should have disqualified either from running for president, which indicates that even if the similarities to the Apocalypse aren't sufficient then there's still something seriously wrong. As the Apocalypse predicted the "Beast," which I indicated might have some limited similarities to Donald Trump defeated the "Whore of Babylon" which has some of the same characteristics as Hillary Clinton. These similarities were a result of actions taken by both political parties and their nominees, as farfetched as it seems I can't rule out the possibilities that they might have allowed it to look like the Book of Apocalypse.
They're certainly rigging far more of the politics than most of us suspected but it is hard to believe they would try to make it seem, to the most religious that the Apocalypse might be coming true; but they were that would explain the insane activities they've been coming up with. If not there's another explanation for this insanity and it's probably not what most people would expect. If they wanted to make it seem like the book of Revelations was coming true then presumably they would follow up by arranging for someone that appears like the "Lamb," which the Bible portrays as a reliable source of morality to defeat Donald Trump as the book predicts. However if they were really trying to bring in the salvation implied by the Bible they wouldn't do it by conducting a farfetched conspiracy, which should be enough evidence to indicate that the Apocalypse Prophecy can't be completely trustworthy even if they were foolish enough to try to make it seem like an accurate Prophecy.
The most effective way to bring about an ethical world would involve honestly educating the public as best they can, not participating in an insane conspiracy based on the Book of Revelations. Intentionally continuing these scams, whether it is the more rational ones exposed by Wikileaks or the fringe ones from the Book of Revelations isn't in anyone's best interests. It would be far more rational to end this and come up with full disclosure perhaps with some form of
Truth and Education Commission although long term commitments without adequate information shouldn't be made like some past Truth and Reconciliations Commission including in south Africa where the people avoided permanent war but were subject to fraud from multinational corporations as a result of the long term conditions of the commission. Letting the perpetrators avoid the death penalty and perhaps stay out of jail might be a reasonable condition but allowing them to keep the loot they stole and even continue stealing more is not.
Since my I first posted this I also added a follow up to the previous post about using the public as research subjects; in
Wanted unsuspecting research subjects I explained how the pharmaceutical companies are, intentionally or not recruiting potential unsuspecting research subjects with their ads. Like other articles on Conspiracy Theories I attempted to start with the most conclusive material before going on to the more speculative material. After going through with the more conclusive evidence that can be confirmed by traditional researcher this elaborated on the theory that Philip Corso might have been partially right when he claimed that he distributed alien technology which was reversed engineered. I speculated on the possibility that if this is true the Clinton Foundation might have been helping to finance this research with alien technology based on the assumption that if there is something to it there would be some organizing structure and it would have to be global and shrouded in secrecy like the Clinton Foundation.
Without further supporting evidence this part of the conspiracy theory wouldn't be considered very strong; however if it was close to the truth it's conceivable that they might be leading up to possible disclosure, although they're not doing it in a trustworthy manner. If there was something to this instead of participating in a bizarre Apocalypse conspiracy which only ads to their credibility problems they should just start coming out with the truth, at least to those that were willing to listen.
This means that even if they're doing something this farfetched they can't be trusted to handle disclosure on their own. If a grassroots effort were able to control it they would have to be flexible when conducting a Truth and Education Commission, assuming that is how the public wanted to handle it.
In an ironic coincidence I just found this picture as I was preparing this edit, which shows how insane this presidential election has been with or without a fringe conspiracy theory.
Edit 11/11/2016: As I was writing this update Donald Trump was meeting with Barack Obama who many right wing conspiracy theorists have referred to as the Anti-Christ or "false prophet" and they both spoke highly of each other. During the campaign Barack spoke about how Trump was unfit to be president and couldn't be allowed to win; now he clearly indicates that he will do what he can to ensure what they consider a peaceful transfer of power to protect the legitimacy of the electoral process even though leaks and the activities of the media and political establishment show it has absolutely no legitimacy at all. Now Trump is also speaking highly of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and it is already obvious that he is hiring many of the same establishment lobbyists that he claimed he would stand up to when he "drains the swamp." Actually it was clear that he was doing this months ago if not over a year; and there is little doubt that if the media really though he would stand up to them as well as the lobbyists they never would have given him the coverage he needed to get elected.
In 19:19-20 the Book of Apocalypse tells about how the beast will meet with Kings of the earth and be thrown "into the fiery lake of burning sulphur" along with the "false prophet." On top of that he is also promising to move the embassy from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem recognizing it as the Capital, which could also be interpreted as a fulfillment of the biblical prophecies. If you Google Trump it isn't hard to find claims that he is also the Anti-Christ; of course since the Bible is so vague about many things it can be interpreted to mean what many people want and routinely is; however there are, as I said more similarities than I would expect as a rational skeptic so it is harder to completely rule portions of it.
Even though I don't see how Barack Obama could fit the definition of the Anti-Christ based on the reasons given by apocalyptic Christians he has been a charismatic speaker and betrayed most of his promises during the 2008 campaign like other politicians who routinely disregard the will of the people once they get in office. His scripted speeches during campaigns are much better than those when he is governing, promising not to hire lobbyists, to support GMO labeling, to stand up to trade deals infringing on the rights of the working class like he said Hillary Clinton did during his primary campaign and even promising to "put on a comfortable pair of shoes" and walk with protesters if union busting effort merited it.
Once he was in office he broke every one of these promises and many more.
Whether you consider many of the specifics of the Apocalypse to be real or not the epidemic levels of corruption are and they're flaunting it as much as they do in the Biblical version. And Conspiracy theories are now becoming more credible than the official version of the truth and the so called skeptics are routinely acting like conspiracy theorists, even Rachel Maddow.
Last night she came up with her own conspiracy theory about Donald Trump sharing information with the Russians. Like any other conspiracy theories there might be at least some truth to it including reports that she cited claiming Russia was in contact with the Trump campaign; however this is the type of conspiracy theory she routinely tries to stereotype and ridicule. She often seeks out the most ridiculous conspiracy theories like the worst of Alex Jones and highlights it to make it seem like they're all fringe.
She rarely if ever even tries to sort through conspiracy theories she's stereotyping to find out if there's any truth to them; nor does she try to pick out the best of them and discredit those, which often turn out to be true. When Wikileaks provided evidence to indicates that the elections really were being rigged she was one of the ones with conspiracy theories about how they were leaked while ignoring the fact that they exposed epidemic levels of corruption and proved some of the conspiracies she stereotyped were true. Instead she blamed people for not looking the other way at Hillary Clinton's corruption.
If there is something to a bizarre Apocalypse conspiracy and people are counting on a "Merciful God" to save them they're likely to be disappointed. If such a God existed and the best interest of the human race was his top priority he would have communicated long ago. He certainly wouldn't remain silent while dozens of demagogues use myths about him to control the masses and maintain a permanent state of war without finding a way of saying, "That's not what I meant!"
There are plenty of well informed people that know how to recognize these manipulation tactics and want to educate the public; if they had the resources to do so through the mass media they would; and if a merciful God existed he could and would do much better.
Now, whether there's truth to these theories or not, one of the most bizarre conspiracy theorists, Hillary ridiculed, often for good reason, since he isn't one of the more rational ones, is the president elect.
The reason for this is partly her own fault along with the corrupt political establishment she supports!
Amazingly there might be some people that actually believe in a version of this Apocalypse Conspiracy Theory that actually want to bring it about because they think it will bring in the return of Jesus. I don't know if they would vote for Donald Trump thinking he's the Beast or Anti-Christ but it wouldn't surprise me.
Edit 12/14/2016: Now that Donald Trump is president elect and choosing his cabinet his behavior is becoming increasingly irrational, not that that should be considered surprising; however it may look even more like there might be something to this far-fetched conspiracy theory about similarities between the Apocalypse conspiracy and his activities.
He’s picking cabinet members that clearly want to minimize control fo the government and often want to eliminate the cabinet they’ve been chosen to lead. Secretaries of Education, the SBA, the EPA and more have previously indicated that they shouldn’t have power to control industries they regulate and Betsy Devos wants to privatize education. Rex Tillerson has often been at odds with the United States government, which he’s now being asked to represent. And the bankers along with other financial executives that Donald Trump claimed he was going to stand up to and prevent from running the government is being asked to join his cabinet.
This is a disaster waiting to happen.
It may also look similar to the predictions in the Apocalypse.
I can’t completely rule out the possibility that something about this ahs been staged all along. Donald Trump has routinely been portrayed as being unscripted; however even Donald Trump must have known from the time he began his campaign that there should be no way for a campaign to succeed by starting out calling large groups of minorities “rapists” and using other divide and rule tactics.
There should be no doubt that people controlling the political establishment know how to do a better job exposing someone like him and provide a candidate that does a better job seeming to be rational than either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.
It is hard to imagine why they would ever even consider staging something so insane but if they are it would have to be huge.
What could be bigger than this Apocalypse conspiracy that would even have a chance of making these seem like a worthwhile conspiracy? Or how could even this Apocalypse conspiracy theory seem worthwhile?
Would it be even more absurd or insane if there wasn’t staging going on?
Even if there was some sharing of alien technology as Philip Corso claims then it is hard to imagine they would consider this to be a rational way of using it, assuming they were looking out for the best interest of the public.
If there’s something to this there are even more questions that need to be answered than this theory would provide but it is clear that there’s no chance that the people controlling the political establishment have the public’s interests in mind. If they’re using alien technology they appear to be using it to increase their control of the public along with additional psychological manipulation tactics.
Their constant irrational behavior is a virtual invitation for conspiracy theories; and there has to be a reason for it
A few weeks ago when he had his dramatic dinner with Mitt Romney and Reince Priebus it was among many of the virtual invitations for conspiracy theories. His candlelight dinner looked like it could be an invitation to lots of demonic memes; as it turns out the only reasonably good one I found was based on Star Wars, but it was as rational as the official version of truth.
Whether you consider this theory sane or not, the official version of truth isn’t much if any more rational; if not it is even worse because if it is true then we’re likely to see the government take us over the deep end. Something is insane about large segments of the public accepting this incredibly corrupt crook as their president expecting him to reform the corrupt system that he’s obviously going to make even worse, assuming it is possible without a major collapse.
