Conspiracy Theories...Have any?

So this is the real reason that North Korea is supposed to be our enemy?

 

I'd research this story very carefully.
If N Korea had all this potential wealth from mineral deposits, why haven't they and China already mined it??

North Korea is a very poor country that couldn't survive without foreign aid from China and Russia.

North Korea is our enemy because they tried to invade South Korea during the Cold War and has never ceased hostilities against the United States.

There's always someone making money off wars, but in this case the Pentagon would be perfectly fine dropping a few nukes on Pyongyang and bombing them off the map.

 

Totally agree. Most dictatorships that sit on giant piles of cash (in the form of oil or minerals or whatever else) exploit the heck out of those resources. For personal gain, of course, not for the good of the country, but the idea that a megalomaniac like Kim Jong Un (or his father before him) would hear about giant piles of money sitting underneath them and not brutally exploit it seems... uncharacteristic, at least.

 

A lot of times when conspiracy theories fall apart, it's because of reasons like the one Andreboba just listed above. For instance, there is a well known conspiracy that pharmaceutical companies have a cure for cancer, they just won't give it to us because they make more money off treating sick people than they would if they cured us.

But under scrutiny, that idea falls apart -- and again, not because we have to believe the best in people, but rather because people are selfish and self interested. Yes, it's possible a single pharmaceutical company might hide something from us -- but why would any competitor do the same? If I run pharmaceutical company A, and I discover a cure for cancer, my chief concerns are: 1) I can create this new drug and crush my competitors, who will lose huge sources of revenue because no one will want their cancer treatments anymore and 2) I can basically monopolize cancer treatment for the next decade+, due to drug patents, which will make me billions upon billions of dollars over the long run.

Yes, you could make the argument that the entire pharmaceutical industry is better off if nobody invents a cure (although I'm not actually sure that's true, but let's just roll with it for now), but individually each pharmaceutical company has a very strong incentive to find a cure and crush their competitors. Even if you tried to create some sort of secret cabal, there would be a gigantic, constant desire by each player in that secret cabal to break ranks, because the first company to break rank and actually release the cure would make gazillions of dollars and everyone else would be crushed beneath them.

 

Russia and oil comes to mind. Putin is a multi-Bllionaire.

 

Yes, there are some estimates that Putin is actually the richest man in the world. He just doesn't make this publicly clear because it would be so terrible for him.

 

Good post! You are a thinker.

 

You just explained why I don't believe in any conspiracy theories better than I ever could.

 

The Tuskegee Experiment was once thought of as a conspiracy theory.

So was Planned Parenthood, founded on the principle of eugenics and exterminating the Black race.

 

Mrs Curves, was it NOT a conspiracy???

 

The Jimmy Dore Show just did a segment on this that explained it:

(Not for nothing, but compare the Black model's pose on top of everything else.)

Fuck that.

We need to be going the complete opposite direction like "A man called Hawk"

Fuck every image contrary to that.

 

Sort of, but not exactly. The Tuskegee experiments were done before informed consent was a codified medical standard -- meaning that in the early 1900s medical experiments could legally be conducted without even telling the patient that they were being experimented on. This happened rather frequently to dispossessed peoples -- not just African Americans, but other poor communities and *especially* to the disabled or mentally impaired. The horrible nature of the Tuskegee experiments were a big reason why today experiments cannot be performed on unwilling or unknowing participants, and also why test results cannot be legally hidden from patients.

So you can call it a conspiracy, and that's not entirely untrue, but it's not a conspiracy in the sense that they were hiding anything illegal. Unfortunately, medical ethics at the time were terrible. Sorry to interject, but I'm a nurse who has had a keen interest in medical history!

 

Interesting conspiracy theory at the 9:00 minute mark about the elites taking out popular musicians back in 1950's-1970's:
