A new review reveals that conspiracy theories can be undermined with the combination of fallacy training and disconfirming inquiry intervention. Conspiracy theories often attempt to usurp political or economic power, violate rights, infringe upon established agreements, withhold vital secrets, or manipulate society. Recent research on conspiracy theories has tended to focus on beliefs that seem outlandish from a mainstream perspective. However, the study found that belief in conspiracy theories can be changed, and the combined conjunction of fallacy training and disconfirming inquiry intervention are promising techniques to change.
One alleged feature of belief in conspiracy theories is the idea that the masses are gullible for believing the official theory to be an established one. Conspiracy theories can reveal a lot about what’s going on in our societies and how to counteract them. However, today, “conspiracy without the theory” is different and dangerous. It is a valid defense to establish that the accused pretended to agree to the conspiracy. Conspiracy law usually does not require proof of specific intent by the defendants to injure any specific person to establish an illegal agreement. Instead, a conspiracy is not established simply on the basis of proof of knowledge of the plan or participation in it.
Conspiracy in restraint of trade is an agreement between two or more persons to do or to procure to be done any unlawful act in restraint of trade. Two recent decisions illustrate what can go wrong when prosecutors ignore or misunderstand the fundamental legal principles of conspiracies.

📹 Michael Andersen & Brian Bonner – A Conspiracy of Defeatism by Media & Analysts Disguised as Realism
Today I am speaking with “Two Grumpy Old Men”, Michael Andersen and Brian Bonner who seasoned Ukraine watchers and …
Go to WGBH Boston article vault, “The Case of the Frozen Addict”. A famous episode that would have gotten the mind control goons to open their notebooks. ‘To control dopamine, is to control the mind!’ Bipolar was a word mostly used to describe transistors, until the early 2000s it was approved to describe people. I got 30 grams of lithium and Risperdal in late 2006 as a comedy of errors and some intrigue. (Drug Induced Parkinson’s) …A weird circuit and false economy, where these chemistries are synthesized in China, compounded in China or India, and then packaged and distributed in the U.S.A..
9/11 Conspiracy “Theory” will expose itself sooner or later. There are significant arguments supporting this, including recently declassified Operation Northwoods, where, in 1962, the US military plotted to terrorize its own citizens in order to justify their invasion on Cuba. Sounds familiar right?
It’s so important that each person who appreciates what you do, to like the article and share to social media if possible. I’m convinced that this website would have well over a million subscribers if only the algorithm worked in its favour. So, please like and share guys to ensure more people gain access to it. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💪
That’s exactly right! Disguised as realism! I just sent this to Senator Marco Rubio in the USA >> I am very disappointed that you said about Ukraine “…unfortunately the reality of it is that the way the war in Ukraine is going to end is with a negotiated settlement.” That should NEVER be said publicly like that even if you believe it because it is a surrender strategy. Our 13 colonies fought over 75 battles in the Eighth and final year of our war for independence and lost a little over half of them. But they won the critical one at Yorktown. You need to spend energy getting Ukraine a lot of our older weapons and ammunition; they will win their 1991 borders back. Ukraine cannot pay russia in land for the horror that russia has inflicted on it; that would be like parents paying a murderer to tell them where he buried their children! Why would you encourage putin by publicly saying such a thing?
Several questions on a prospective “negotiation” where Ukraine is forced to give up (or stop fighting for) territories, such as Luhansk and Donetsk, and maybe most importantly Crimea, in exchange for peace: why would Ukraine simply yield on Crimea, if they have already rendered it useless for the Russians, and driven them out of the black sea? Isn’t Crimea, and the access it gives Russia to shipping, and the ability to use it as a “floating aircraft carrier”, as one of your guests described it, Russia’s Achilles heel? When the Ukrainians are so close to breaking it now, why would they give in?
I saw a European chart on Jake Broe’s YouTube website with the people leaning towards Russia. Jake talked about Austria, Hungary and 2 other countries farther east. So what could Putin be thinking? If he can make the connection in the south with Transnistria, only Moldova is lying between Ukraine and Hungary. Think about it
Why aren’t we talking about the agreements that were signed when Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan gave up the nukes parked in their countries by the Soviet Union and only the Kremlin had the codes. Or the Politburo, whatever the leadership structure was then. They were removed in the 90’s, I believe 94-96. It was a BFD at the time, but I never hear much about it anymore. Those 3 countries were given security guarantees if they are attacked or invaded 👁️👁️💯🇺🇲🇺🇦
If Viktor Orban, Hungarian head of state, can speak to CPAC, can visit Trump at Mar-a-Largo, and laud–yes, endorse–Trump for president–well, why doesn’t this spark outrage at clear foreign interference in U.S. politics? Oh, how small-minded so many Republican leaders are. Zelenskyy’s visit to the Scranton factory is certainly not overt partisan politics–read whatever else you want into it.
Great interview. Practical, sensible, realistic. I too love Ukraine and have lived in country. Was in Kyiv just after The Orange Revolution, and Maidan. I especially appreciated the comments regarding the CIA non sponsorship of both grass roots revolts. For anyone who has lived in Ukraine with Ukrainian families, it easy to see… Ukrainians are simply done with Russia and its abuse of Ukrainians!! 10 Brigades would solve this in 6 months!! And I think Ben Hodges would agree!
A few points that I think can do with clarification: The Bulk Cargo Vessel “Ruby” is not “drifting around.” She was at anchor outside the 12 mile limit, in international waters, with a tow vessel on station should it be required to assist in light of the Ruby’s propeller and rudder damage. About 3 days ago, with more severe weather and sea conditions forecast, the Ruby was moved to a position roughly 2 – 3 miles off Margate shore to take advantage of the more sheltered waters, where she was securely re-anchored on good holding ground. The tow vessel remains on station. This was a thoroughly wise and seamanlike decision with consideration to the deteriorating conditions. The stories about the potential of explosion and the purported blast radius, along with dire predictions of a tsunami that would obliterate half of London, are fundamentally inaccurate and I believe are being exaggerated quite deliberately to destabilise the British people through an injection of fear. Just another piece of opportunistic hybrid war on Russia’s part, imho. The cargo is bagged and divided between 6 sections of the vessel, it is not in a single loose bulk hold. The divisions are structurally integral to the hull, they are 3 double skinned vertical bulkheads and a mid-level deck in each hold, so the cargo is in 3 discrete sections fore and aft, each section being further divided into a discrete lower and an upper section by the mid-deck. To make the product explode would require a fire to burn for a period of time beforehand.
If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s the west bitching that Ukraine isn’t doing enough, or isn’t fielding enough soldiers, and not asking the fundamental question, “what will Ukraine arm them with?” If Ukraine can’t even rely on the west to send what they DO promise, that aid being far less than requested, and 6 to 18 months later than promised, what right does the west have to criticize Ukraine!?
The irony is that both guests are affected by the same contagious defeatism. Ukraine has no manpower shortage, otherwise it would mobilize women and men under the age of 27 already. As for an inevitable collapse of Muscovy that they do not see, there is a YouTube website named Free Nations League where Jonathan could find plenty of fantastic native speakers standing for independent Tatarstan, Yakutia, Tuva, Buryatia and more.
Thanks for inviting the two gentlemen, a lot of interesting points that need to be heard by everybody both in the West and in Ukraine. Still, we love democracy? How many referendums were organized in the West to hear the voice of the people before promising to provide military and financial aid to Ukraine “as long as it takes”? Ok, there were some general elections and…the parties cozy to Ruzzia came in strong in many European countries and the US is next. It may not be too late and learn from Grump and pootin how to effectively educate the people but about what matters.
The Ukrainian war is in Europe! It is the Europeans who must support and fund the Ukrainians, not the US. If anything, the EU countries must increase their own budgetary allocations to defence, increase considerably arms manufacturing and stockpiles, increase the size of their armed forces and fund Ukraine to the necessary scale and purchase US made weapons to do so. Russia is not invading Alaska or Texas!
