My Thoughts: Conspiracy and Apocalyptic Industries

Many conspiracy theories have turned out to be real false flag events. It’s great that social media and online information has lead to an awakening for some that their governments lie to get us into wars for resources and hegemony, but for some of us, the prevalence of conspiracy theories online has become an industry, a business, and a major distraction as there is no plan of action, just emotional porn / violence porn and a frenzy. And many of these talking heads on YT and elsewhere who make great mileage out of these apocalyptic and conspiracy theories are almost always white folks. These white pundits seem to mostly obsess over the mass killing of white people whilst appearing to ignore the tremendous violence done to brown people by US empire and western allies. What does that say about us? What does it say that our concern is limited to the killing of white people, but millions of brown people being murdered by our governments barely makes a blip on the radar for us? How much evidence do we need that the MSM is worse than useless but in fact dangerous, and that governments lie? All governments lie. In fact it’s legal for US empire to put out propaganda, to the public.

As empires fall, distraction becomes paramount. Bread and circuses. Many of the more outrageous conspiracy theories are intended to keep us distracted, to keep us enthralled, to make us feel like we are “clever”, that we cannot be fooled. And many are intended to swamp REAL “conspiracy theories” that warrant closer scrutiny. It’s good that people do open source investigations, but it’s also problematic if we live for the next massacre and we make mileage out of it, whilst ignoring the very real issues of 3 black people in the US being murdered each day by the state, or the ongoing expanding imperialist white supremacist wars lead by US empire.

US empire is falling and along with it controlling the narrative is desperately important. Let’s not be obsessed with the next white terrorist. Let’s focus on things we can change. I make some suggestions on some positive actions we can take to benefit others.

Veganism: Speciesism, Sentience and Rights [Livestream]

In this livestream I talk about single issue campaigns. And that includes campaigns which call for an end to some forms of animal use. These campaigns are almost always linked with building ties with animal industry. I will talk about why SICs are, by their very nature, problematic, and speciesist, and at best pointless. And you might like to check out my livestream from a few weeks ago, “Humane”: What’s in a Word” before watching this livestream. I thought I would share this as a livestream, this essay, because I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss any of the points made in it. So I hope you don’t mind. I talk about rights, and about sentience, why it matters and how it is important in relation to our recognising nonhuman animals as moral persons. And when I say moral persons, I simply mean animals are not viewed as a “thing”.

Tradition, Guns, Mass Shootings, Our Inconsistency of Our Notion of nonviolence

My livestream “Traditions, Guns, Our Inconsistency of Our Notion of nonviolence.” I tie in veganism with the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas, and the wars waged against brown people overseas for resources & hegemony. I cover many issues including the Port Arthur massacre that happened in Australia and the subsequent action by the Australian government. Many issues. I hope you find it interesting. Please subscribe to my channel and my blog http://www.faintsignalsfromvegan.com and share 🙂
