i know you've all seen me wig out
on some crackpot theories
like the illuminati, greys, 911, etc.

some ask why i do this
instead of helping fan the fire.

they claim they are messengers of secret truths,
waging the good fight,
resisting and rebelling.

but these theories actually work against us.
foremost they make us look ridiculous,
uninformed and uneducated.
people do not take that nonsense seriously.
nor those who spout it.

but in my opinion
these theories are alot like what one theory claims-
they are meant to cover the real problems
distract people from real world action
and instead get them paranoid,
looking for hidden agendas, aliens, military cabals, etc.
when our real enemies are in plain sight.

it's how some claim that the government
hides ET and covers up 'real' ufo sightings-
by encouraging crackpots of all kinds
and planting faked photos, staged crop circles, etc.

well it is being done,
but not to ET,
it's being done to all of us.
no need to worry
about the clash between islam & christendom
when the 'real' culprit for 911 was bush.
no need to make hard decisions about fuels
for a post-oil economy,
it's all a lie by Big Oil and the Government,
right ?

by flooding the info arena with huge amounts
of disinformation
it becomes harder to find any real info.
websites pretending to be scientific
bedazzle those lacking the expertise to judge,
and churn out apostles by the thousands,
preaching free power from tesla,
limitless benefits from zero-point energy,
etc.

divide and conquer.
they need to add one more word now-
confuse then divide and conquer.
so instead of folks organizing themselves
to take political power legitimately
to make changes we can see & touch,
we get folks wasting money on useless books,
more hours reading them,
and then they go around like
jehovahs witnesses
trying to convert everyone to
whatever they last read.
they think they help
but they only hurt.

our enemies in this culture & time
are real enough-
pollution, crime, unemployment, domestic violence
to just name a few.
these are the issues where
our resistance to being tossed on
society's trash pile
and our rebellion against the status quo
is better spent networking with other activists,
building cooperative neighborhoods,
than by ranting about
some crazy shit dreamed up
by lunatics or worse.
