the term conspiracy theory

Post by cmoore » May 13th, 2017, 4:51 pm

the term conspiracy theory
was made up by the three letter agency in 67'
this is directed at anybody that actually
thinks outside the box

I was thinking about things that
did not seem right to me when I was six
and I was singled out for it
by my first grade teacher

67' was the year the psychedelic wave crashed
I was washed away, but I still thought about
things that did not seem right

so is it any wonder why the alphabet agency
does not want people to be able to actually
think about what is wrong

the only way to make America great
or is it just too late, like Frank Zappa said
back in 66', "it can't happen here"

one night in 67' I saw something in the night sky
that I could not explain, I was not on LSD
that night, I have thought about ufo's ever since
the powers that should not be
don't want you to know what is really happening

yes, something was not right, when I was six years old
when I was still a teenager I began to try to put into
poetry, what I felt about things that were not right

I read the French poet Arthur Rimbaud, and I recall
a line..."after the deluge" and now I say after we
are deluged with lies and disinformation
something is wrong, it has always been so
but now it is so wrong, so much more wrong

for instance in the year I was born 1950
America was carpet bombing North Korea
when I became a poet they were bombing
and napalming Vietnam, I read 1984 by Orwell
in 67' in high school, maybe the only book
I read in high school, Besides John Lennon's
A Spaniard in the Works, and I was deeply
affected by the thought of perpetual war

' good dog Nigel arfing around the bend' JL

'Winston could not definitely remember a time
when his country was not at war" 1984

I was looked at funny for asking questions that shouldn't be asked as early as the second grade. Simple physics and logistics render most conspiracy theories as a reach, but just asking questions that nobody's supposed to ask doesn't make one a "conspiracy theorist"...

I had similar experiences in school...especially catholic school....asking questions was essentially blasphemy ...so I sought alternative education....the conspiracy theory thing as you say was way to discredit alternative thinkers....but in the end, We know what we know.. 8)
