I have seen them, DAILY, flying over my head, spraying in my backyard. A few years ago, I was a “normal” personal, a stay-at-home mom of three kids battling digestive disease so severe that they couldn’t even digest a raw apple.

I studied, I poured, I scoured over information that could help them. One thing led to another, and I soon noticed the chem-planes spraying heavy metal (enzyme inhibitors and fungus) into my backyard.

18 months into healing protocols, including dietary intervention and heavy metal chelation, and my kids are much improved…however, their digestion regresses severely on heavy spray days.

I don’t need “evidence”. My life is living proof.

Is there some reason why you failed to address electronic weapons and the many thousands of complaints on the Internet concerning the use of these weapons systems against randomly-selected citizens in what appears to be some sort of psychotic social-control experiment?

Is there also some reason why you have ignored complaints concerning the organized-stalking campaigns which invariably precede and accompany these electronic harassment activities? Organized stalking is apparently designed to bully and terrorize the said randomly-selected citizens into total mental and emotional collapse, perhaps to facilitate their susceptibility to electronic harassment.

Both types of operations are highly organized, to put it mildly, and have been around for decades. I personally have experienced the hellish worst of the worst for more than 40 years, as a target of both electronic harassment and organized stalking. And my situation is far from unique.

Your silence on these topics is noteworthy. Does the frightening prospect of retaliation keep you silent?

It is this silence which long ago persuaded me that organizations such as yours are merely comprised of “armchair progressives” who carefully constrain their activist pursuits so as to avoid the full impact of today’s forms of retaliation.

You may have noticed in your cursory scans of the Internet that the victims of these types of operations refer to themselves collectively as “targeted individuals,” or “TIs.” You may have also noticed that these operations are global in their reach.

Ironically, far too many TIs have latched onto the various types of conspiracy theories which you characterize as being “right-wing.”

I say, “ironically,” because TIs are leftist to the core, simply trying to understand why their human and civil rights are being so horrendously abused—as facilitated by the silence of such armchair progressives as currently comprise the SPLC and other like organizations. Many TIs seem to think that militia-originated, “patriotic” conspiracy theories might furnish some type of explanation.

We can only hope that somewhere in organizations such as yours SOMEONE will have the guts to at least try to track these operations to their source and to expose them. Do you have guts, Mr. Zaitchik?

If you’re a true believer in conspiracies, no amount of facts to the contrary are going to shake your belief.

Belief operates at an emotional level that can be stronger than the person’s own intellectual state.

Emotions just happen. Thoughts you have to think about.

That’s why you cannot shake people’s beliefs. It is very difficult to overcome emotional beliefs with logic and facts.

Personally I have tried your “test” so to speak, and I know how pointless it can be. I have dealt with those who believe in the 9-11 conspiracy, Holocaust denial, the Pearl Harbor conspiracy, and the Jewish conspiracy. In all cases adherents often make references to other conspiracies as proof toward the one they are currently advancing. For example, “we know the government lied about Pearl Harbor so why wouldn’t they lie about 9-11? 9-11 WAS an inside job!!!!!1111″

There is a much simpler test: Extraordinary claims(claims which go against established conventional knowledge) require extraordinary proof. How extraordinary it is depends on how extraordinary the claim is. If the evidence is sufficient, decades or centuries of conventional knowledge can become obsolete in an instant- we just need proof of some kind.

The JBS declared:

“What is fact? What is fiction? How can you know? Conspiracy theories abound on the Internet. While some may be fairly accurate, others are not. Much of what is out there goes beyond the facts into wild conjecturing, and even outright fabrication of information. This has had an effect something like Gresham’s Law (‘bad money drives out good money’), in which bad information drives out good information.”

If one GENUINELY is interested in facts and truth — then one MUST be willing to specify the methodology which is applicable to ALL assertions made in anybody’s “theory”.

Otherwise, as the JBS correctly points out, you will have no way to avoid descending into “wild conjecturing and even outright fabrication of information…in which bad information drives out good information.”

As Karl Popper pointed out, in the universe of available data, one can always find “confirmations” for whatever ideas one prefers to believe.

The most compelling factor, however, is whether or not a theory can be falsified.

Conspiracy theorists declare that they are uniquely insightful and that they unearth data and connect dots which escape 99.9% of the rest of humanity.

Significantly, however, most extreme right conspiracy believers are totally unwilling to discuss their methodology—i.e. what rules of evidence and logic they think should apply to all discussions. Conspiracy believers frequently construct self-sealing arguments designed to ignore, dismiss, de-value or trivialize contradictory evidence—even when it originates from sources which, previously, the conspiracy believer has recommended as reliable and authoritative. [For example: the JBS routinely de-values or dismisses statements and conclusions which appear in FBI investigative files during J. Edgar Hoover's tenure -- even while they simultaneously have claimed that the FBI was our nation's most knowledgeable, authoritative, and reliable source of data regarding internal security matters!]

So here is my simple test:

Go to Wikipedia’s article which lists conspiracy theories here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.....heory_list

1-Choose ANY theory listed which YOU believe is absurd and absolutely FALSE.

2-Then contact the author(s) of and a sample of the devout believers in that theory and present your best evidence against their theory.

3-Then — let us know the result.

4-Repeat that process 10 times (i.e attempt to refute any 10 conspiracy theories which you think are absurd and absolutely false) — and let us know how many times you are successful at getting the author(s) and devout believers to acknowledge that you have successfully disproven their theory.

If you cannot achieve even ONE instance of somebody agreeing that you have disproven their theory —- then WHAT CONCLUSION about conspiracy theories and conspiracy believers seems warranted based upon your first-hand experience?

That may be difficult, that old grouch has been dead for a couple decades.
