Is it a Conspiracy if it is True?

I like to develop conspiracy theories, its sort of like a hobby for me, a thought expansion exercise. I think it is healthy to look around things and see all that there is to see. How often are you completely honest in your presentation of self to others? We all put up fronts in some ways and in some circumstances. Formulating conspiracy theories helps to be aware of those sorts of fronts when they are presented, maybe. I'm just making this up as I go along. It is all an introduction to my newest conspiracy theory. Do I believe it? No, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be true. Here it is:
The recent oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico off the Louisiana coast was perpetrated by President Obama and his goons in order to delay or exterminate the United States off-shore drilling program. That's right, my explanation for the disaster is that our President initiated it. Now, give credit where it is due, it probably wasn't his idea, it might have originated form one of his cronies, but he is the puppet, so I'll single him out for the blame. President Obama hates private industry and autonomy. He thinks that the earth has more value than people. Well why else would he put so much money and effort into being green when there aren't any jobs for people and so many are without food? Right, he is a politician. They are all the same these days. Power hungry and corrupt. They think we can't manage ourselves, so they try to do it for us. Maybe they don't actually think that, maybe they just think there is nothing we can do to defend ourselves so they'll just take over. Either way, they think they ought to tell us what to do. It is so bad that even when President Obama is responsible for this disaster, he comes out in the press conference and claims full responsibility for it. See! He is taking the blame, he did it, I knew it! He is so confident in his smoke screen that he can tell us the truth and we won't get it. He didn't say why though, so I'll fill you in on that. He wants to prove that drilling is dangerous and shouldn't be done. Then what? Well, then we have to go in for the cap and trade business. We then have to put forth more governmentally regulated green energy initiatives. We'll have to buy carbon credits.
OK, that's all fun and games. I highly doubt this was anything other than an accident, and I don't mean to trivialize the tragic toll it is taking on so many people. I am frustrated with the President and the trend of U.S. government over the last few years, namely 100, give or take. The government should not be its own entity. It is supposed to be of and by the people. This government is at the expensive of and in the face of the people. Maybe they ought to think about that "us vs. them" mentality and realize we are all together in this boat. I think we do need to increase research into renewable "green" types of energy, but I don't think the government should be in charge of it. The government isn't even a thing, its a concept. How can a concept invent new technology? The regulations and red tape need to come down so that human ingenuity can do what it does best and create. The technology is out there already in many cases, but something is holding it back. I'd suggest another conspiracy, but I don't think it is a conspiracy that these technologies are being held back by someone with power and money who stands to lose money if the current trends were to stop. Everyone has an agenda. We have to be careful whose agenda we are supporting.

  1. That's funny, but it could happen. I got a couple of conspiracy theories of my own: like the fact that we spend so much money on hydrogen technology (so we can have cars that run virtually on water), but those cars would cost $1million a piece. We already have electric cars that can go 300 miles per charge, yet GM and other car companies took them off the market because electric cars are easier to maintain, and would therefore put car-part manufacturers out of business. It's all about the money.

  2. It is all about the money. That is true. It seems the best way to fight that is to give our money to other companies, but they regulate so much that no other companies can get going. Or we could boycott and not give them any money, but that hurts us more than them because of our reliance and in some cases dependance upon their goods and services. We are in deep. We all need to get educated and prepare for the worst. Not in a doomsday type way, but just realize that it might take some sacrificing of comfort to get out of this pit we're sliding into.
    Thanks for commenting.
