People that fall for conspiracy theories are often the less educated

The Bible.

Yes, okay, but you also take the truth from each side and try to fit both together.
Yes, God is merciful.
Yes, God is severe.

Never answer a fool according to his folly.
Always answer a fool according to his folly.

Yes, Jesus was the son of man.
Yes, Jesus was God.

Objects have more than one dimension. This becomes apparent when light hits them.

Light gives them form. A good artist is really only showing light and shadows. Otherwise, they would just draw an apple as a simple circle and it would have no depth.

Different rabbit hole but still about Land Rights:

NATIONAL SECURITY
SCOTUS Returns Oklahoma’s Right To Prosecute Crimes On Native American Land
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the state of Oklahoma Wednesday in a case that weighed whether a state can prosecute crimes committed by non-Native Americans against Native Americans on reservation land.

SCOTUS Returns Oklahoma’s Right To Prosecute Crimes On Native American Land

Remember the conspiracy theory I'm working on has to do with Trump's promise during his inauguration to give the Country back to the people.
I didn't start this conspiracy theory in theis thread bu in the coming global mandates thread in current events.
That rook me down the Bill Gates trail, Now we have States being given back authority to prosecute crimes.

LISTEN:

So this would lead me down another path of:
Did The Native Americans have the authority to prosecute crimes against non-native americans?
Why is this important?
With all the transfer of illegal immigrants being dispersed around the country, who knows where many of them are being placed.
What if they are place on reservation lands? What if the resevations have no proseceturial powers?
And if OK didn't have jurisdiction of crimes on native lands, then what?
It means that native americans on reservations would be at the mercy of illegal immigrants being placed on their land, with no legal resourse.
That would not be good at all.

But first I have to see if Native Americans have authority to prosecute crimes against non-native americans.
I haven't read the article yet..
Always got my cart before the horse..

"One of the main differences between conspiracy believers and nonbelievers that’s cropped up in multiple studies is that nonbelievers tend to be more highly educated. For a new study in Applied Cognitive Psychology, Jan-Willem Van Prooijen at VU Amsterdam has conducted two large surveys to try to dig into just what it is about being more educated that seems to inoculate against belief in conspiracy." Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories

I Have always made a distinction between conspiracy theorists and truthers. Truthers are those who have a sincere desire for the truth and can think for themselves and are aware of the shills and trolls that are sent to cause them to trip up in their search for truth. Truthers are generally the most educated people I know. Conspiracy theorists deal in conjecture, truthers deal in facts. A classic case for this is the whole flat earthers conspiracy theory, which ignores the facts presented to them, and are sent out to shill the Christian community as backwards and uneducated. Some of the most educated people I know are Christians and the devil would love nothing more than to relegate Christianity to the realm of conspiracy theory.

I don't form opinions without information. Often I am tempted of the devil to some extent on information I don't have that I should believe one way or another. And when that happens I deny it. And simply say, God knows, I don't.

As far as God being merciful or severe, the bible points that out:

Deuteronomy 32:39
New King James Version
39 ‘Now see that I, even I, am He,
And there is no God besides Me;
I kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

The McGirt decision meant that the entire eastern portion of Oklahoma would be considered “Indian country,” where the state lacked the authority to prosecute crimes committed by non-Native Americans against Native Americans on Native American land. But the federal authorities that would then prosecute those crimes only pursued the most severe cases, according to officials who previously spoke with TheDCNF.

“The FBI is not prosecuting car thefts and burglaries, any kind of drugs, DUIs,” Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt previously told TheDCNF on the steps of the Supreme Court after the state presented arguments in Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta in April.

So the power had been given to the Fed to prosecute crimes in Indian Territory taking it out of the State of OK jurisdiction.
And who is placing illegal immigrants around the country? The federal government.

Yes this is another WIN for the American people, native and non-native alike!!
God Bless America
We are WInning!

I'm just curious how the flat earth theory can be considered a "conspiracy"

conspiracy

1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.

Believing the earth is flat isn't illegal. It isn't a wrongful or subversive act.
It's not a crime to believe the earth is flat, it used to be a crime to believe the world was round, but we don't live under that kind of authority anymore.
And what legal purpose could believing the earth to be flat accomplish through what illegal action??

I mean you want to call it a theory, I agree with that. I just don't know where the "conspiracy" comes into it.

I really don't like Bill Gates. And that guy makes me feel creepy.
Reading about the new law being put into affect in Oklahoma, made me think about,
what is Bill planning on doing with all that land?
And Cottonwood LLC being able to distribute across the border to Canada...
and all this influx of people coming in.
And the need for "volunteers" to test their new experimental drugs on.

I'm just saying...
This guy REALLY creeps me out.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

I don't form opinions without information.

Lol! This is both true and not true.
You form opinions on limited or directing information all the time. You don’t know what’s being left out in an attempt to direct your opinion the way someone wants it to go in.

I can say, this man hit that one and completely leave out that he was hit first since the one man is my husband or the boss who writes my checks and I want to direct opinion.

And Guislane Maxwell, Jeffrey Epsteins partner in Crimes against Children,
just got 20 years in prison.
Epstein Island.... that's one rabbit hole I don't suggest anyone going into without a strong stomach and a sturdy mind.
Reeeee
Sometimes you wish you could unsee things.
She should of gotten the electric chair, in my opinon.
But she still has information they will try to negotiate for.
Lots of BIG NAMES, BIG MONEY people, BIG POWER people...

Pray for the children..
we're taking them back one step at a time.
I just hope we don't lose too many.

So much evil in the world..
There has to be a bottom somewhere.

They have conducted studies that show that people who fall for conspiracy theories often have less education. And I think that is what I am seeing. The lack of ability to consider the vast concepts that leads to true fact finding and the actual truth regarding issues.

Further more the organizations that push these conspiracy theories prey on these less educated to make money off of them. It's perhaps a business model.

"One of the main differences between conspiracy believers and nonbelievers that’s cropped up in multiple studies is that nonbelievers tend to be more highly educated.

Why more highly educated people are less into conspiracy theories

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 KJV
26) For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29) That no flesh should glory in his presence.

Much love!

That might be true.
I'm a conspiracy theorist and I have a 6th grade education.
But I have a different outlook on it.
People that haven't been brainwashed in higher education have a tendency to think for themselves.
They are able to be more critical thinking not having to tow the line of the so-called educated.
We're not concerned about being "graded" or "acceptable thinking" according to our peers.
We're not afraid to tread where higher education says you must not go.

Conspiracy Theory is a fabricated terminology made up by the CIA to keep people from looking into the true conspiracies.
Everything is debunked, until it's not.

Yes, that's how I think also.

Yes that's true. I find that in my physics studies. Often science can have false theories. But they are theories and everyone educated knows this. But they consider them the best current explanation so they stay with these false theories. Until someone comes up with a better explanation. Which requires education.

The way I see it the un-educated serve a purpose in this world, but it's not in leadership or science. It's in farming, delivery, etc. How would you like a doctor providing medical advice, medication and procedures to you that has only a high school education?

How to farm, or repair a truck, or what medication to dispense, these require education that doesn't need to affect our cosmology or theology. And yes, that's good education. But then they teach that the universe is billions of years old, and man came from rain on rocks, and that truth is relative, and some of us don't deserve to be treated fairly, and it doesn't matter, since we came from rain on rocks, and on it goes.

Educated, but not indoctrinated. The indoctrinated have no business being anywhere near leadership roles. And seriously, do you want someone operating on your body who looks at you and sees, "white male conservative Christian therefore privileged and racist" (that would be me) so don't worry too much about whether the patient dies . . . ?

We need people who have learned to think not according to the "higher education" cultural narratives.

The only brain washer in this country is the media. Which is connected with the entire population at this point. I don't think the educated are responsible for that problem.

I'd have to disagree on this point. I've seen for decades the rise of indoctrination in schools, from elementary school up. My wife worked for 20 years in the primary and middle school classrooms. It's real.

I took 1 semester of college 40 years ago. My wife went to college 25 years ago, got a degree, and even then saw the indoctrination. Brainwashing. And as I've been aware of the curriculum used in the schools, and colleges, they are brainwashing as much of this generation as they can get their hands on.

That's why we are having such a problem with the communist/socialists now, is that the schools have been preparing this generation for the last 20 years and more. Indoctrinating them with racism and Marxism, and not giving them the tools of Critical Thinking, logic, or learning history.

Baby boomers know good and well the comparisons to 2022 America and 1935 Germany, but do the Millennials? I haven't seen the evidence of that. GenX, Millennials, this is much of the base of the communist takeover of the US. And that is so because of the indoctrination in the public school system, and has since infected many private universities.

West Point graduates sign letter challenging leadership of military academy

This is a group of West Point grads calling out the academy on it's indoctrination practices.

Maybe the better way to say this is, People subjected to university indoctrination seem less likely to recognize conspiracies formed against them.

And the educated know this and don't always fall for the misinformation I think.

I think with critical race theory and LGBTQ push in schools, evolution and other psuedo science theories, education has recieved a bad rap. There are those in the educated circle that push false theories. Critical race theory is false from what I've heard. LGBTQ is false biology theory. Evolution and carbon dating that cannot be proven without billions of years. These are all false theories. Check out the documentary I found on dinosaurs and evolution:

Except that these 'centers of education' are teaching all these things, CRT, LGBTQ, evolution, all of it. And more! And when the students reject these ideas, they are demeaned, downgraded, when they accept them they are praised and rewarded and included and affirmed.

So those who believe the lies go away feeling "educated".

Much love!

I honestly think that the evil indoctrination comes from certain courses of study though. I don't think they exist in all course perhaps.

Yes false theories are being taught. Perhaps we could start a thread on that. Against the educational systems that support these false ideas.

How did the man in the OT arrive at the truth of which of the two women was the babys mother?
He arrived at it not through science but through understanding human nature and instincts.

That's how it seems to me, that there are ways to understand what is true that go outside of a statement of facts. Knowing about human dynamics, and knowing history, can cut through a lot of the obfuscation.

Much love!

We know who we are, but we never know who someone else is with any truth. God does but we don't. I think caution is necessary to not assume too much.
