Research done in the Netherlands shows how and why some people are more prone to believe in conspiracies than others.

Linky bit.

But yet, Oil companies do get fat subsidies, and they have many lobbyists involved in trying to get the politicians vote things their way, like the Keystone XL, and offshore drilling. Corporations do indeed try and buy the politicians, and voting records support the idea that they have the government in their pocket. they tossed the Big Oil nudged the war thing as part of a way to allay things, yet the corporate owned news media don't hit that angle up on the wars. It is no conspiracy to see that America is shady.

Just because one doesn't believe in conspiracies doesn't mean there ain't any Len.

Yeah, but one must be able to tell the difference between the real ones vs the imaginary ones'

But that's the thing, how do you know which ones are real and which ones aren't? I see so much insane stuff that people post on facebook and sometimes I can't believe how some see a conspiracy out of something really simple.

But, I also don't trust any governments...so....

Corporations for the most part behave like psychos, so don't trust them.

Governments are out for their own arses, so always question them.

News work for both so always double check

Wise words Len.

Corps have no redeeming features except to make money for their owners.
