Conspiracy Theories

For a long time now we have heard of different conspiracy theories ranging from but not limited to clandestine government plans, elaborate murder plots, suppression of secret technology and knowledge and other supposed schemes behind certain political, cultural, and historical events.

I could be more specific but if I get too specific I am sure that my name will go on some list somewhere and I will be forever watched by some government agency that is out to get me. Yes, I joke about this but, when you see all that we do and all the information we put out there, we are being looked at. Look at all the advertisers on web sites. Search engines, blogs, social networks, dating sites and even more have paid to put out their product so you can see it. Why? They have researched and discovered the who, what, why, when and where, putting money into each of these areas. We put out information in all areas and are being tracked in one form or another. You do know your spending habits are being tracked by credit agencies and banks. Who and where you search on the internet is being tracked. It is a numbers game out there. The big push to brand yourself is all about getting your name out there. Write a blog such as this and tagging words will get you noticed.

Are you really surprised when you hear that the government is putting money into these as well? If we are so free to tell our “friends” what we do each and every minute why would the government not be as interested in gaining that information as well. We have complained about “Big Brother” looking into our private lives then we go out and give the information so freely. Then we call it a conspiracy. It may be, but then again we just give out our sleep habits, wake habits, vacation plans, shopping habits, eating times, and what have you with out even thinking about it.

An alien space ship crashed in New Mexico, Lee Harvey Oswald was used as a patsy in the assassination of Kennedy, Government scientists are controlling the weather and other “natural” disasters, wars are being started to control the economies of nations and the world. Are they for real or not? My thoughts on it are, does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? I will not put my head in the sand but I am not going to obsess about it either. I have to watch what information I put out there and live my life where I am. If there are conspiracies going on out there what can I do about it? I will not live my life in fear or run from what is happening, but do the best I can to take care of myself and those I care for. Stay informed to the best that we can but do not let theories dictate the life that we live.
