Much of that hate speech is not too dissimilar from the jihadi propaganda groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda are preaching.<br /><br />For instance, here as of late, I saw a commenter on one of their articles blasting all Americans for being "agents of Zionism" and calling for the murder of all American citizens everywhere around the globe. Another commenter called this person out on being in violation of the rules of Islam which prohibit the murder of innocent people. Guess what? The PressTV admins deleted that person's reply and left the original comment alone. And this is just one of many hate-filled comments that have been popping up here as of late. Oh yeah, and another article they ran about one of SpaceX's latest achievements was denounced as "Zionist lies and propaganda about traveling into space" by a couple of commenters. Hmmmm, ok......<br /><br />I do agree with you though. If PressTV ever wants to be taken seriously as a news organization, they need to drop the conspiracy theories and start taking a good, long look at what it is they're REALLY promoting.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491064367869985901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-75558515933541466942015-12-29T19:28:49.161-08:002015-12-29T19:28:49.161-08:00I agree that conspiracy theories such as this are ...I agree that conspiracy theories such as this are an artificial way to create a sense of elitism.

Generally, belief in them clouds judgment, and causes people to make inappropriate decisions, and damaging decisions, based on their ability to provide leverage for manipulation of behavior and financial resources. It is difficult to see these theories as other than tools of enslavement, or causative factors of depression.<br /><br />I've noticed a universal truth about such theories. They are one of the devices that humans use to make themselves appear to possess a higher level of intelligence than they actually do have. This produces great arrogance and vanity, not only within themselves, but on the part of all their followers. Knowing "truth" is heady stuff, very difficult to shed. In reality, another name for this condition is paranoia. <br /><br />Many of us can say "been there, done that", but seemingly others make this illness a continuing condition of their lives, one that makes them very susceptible to continuing exploitation. They are to be pitied.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846567313402731847.post-12630530865957563922015-12-23T11:55:23.048-08:002015-12-23T11:55:23.048-08:00This is for you, Mr. Cognitive Dissonance: Psychol...This is for you, Mr. Cognitive Dissonance: Psychologists Explain 9/11 Truth Denial: https://youtu.be/f462ya0DC0g Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
