Conspiracy and the Planet X in 2003
Disinformation Campaign
by Butler Shaffer
When one dares to dig beneath the surface of
governmental programs to reveal undisclosed purposes, he
or she is usually met with charges of being a "paranoid"
defender of "conspiracy theories." More often than not,
such an accusation silences the questioner, as it is
designed to do. I long ago came to the conclusion that
those who chastise others for spouting "conspiracy
theories" tend to do so because they don't want the
implications of their own schemes revealed to the public.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!,"
intoned the Wizard of Oz, an admonition designed to
intimidate the inquisitive into silence.
I, for one, gladly admit to the embracing of any
conspiracy theory for which there is credible evidence.
But those who condemn me for my views never seem
interested in examining the evidence, their purposes
being more to prevent the raising of discomforting
questions. Having read a good deal of history over the
years, I ask my critics to account for the countless
foreign intrigues, plots, assassinations, alliances, and
other cabals that have been at the heart of so much of
the history of the world. Do Shakespeare's tragedies -
almost all of which are grounded in conspiracies of one
kind or another - have nothing to teach us about the
machinations of human behavior?
A Jewish acquaintance once criticized me for my views,
adding "there are no conspiracies." "May I quote you on
that?," I asked. He could not understand my purpose in
wanting to do so, so I told him: "because it's not often
one hears Jewish people denying the Nazi holocaust the
way you just did." After advising him that the "Nazi
holocaust" requires a conspiracy of German government
officials, he was prepared to modify his statement to
allow for the kinds of conspiracies that he believed in.
One of my colleagues, who teaches antitrust law, attacked
me for defending even the idea of "conspiracies," until I
asked him if he intended to reduce his course from three
units to one. "Since so much of antitrust law consists
of 'conspiracies' to restrain trade, or fix prices,
or divide up markets, or monopolize an industry, or
engage in such more subtle 'conspiracies' as 'conscious
parallelism,' I assume that, since you do not believe in
conspiracies, you will take the lead in condemning such
specious theories."
Conspiracy theories abound in our society, and are widely
accepted, . . . provided you are identifying the
"politically correct" conspiracy. World War II was
conducted, in part, on the premise that the so-called
"axis powers" were conspiring to take over the world. But
if one tries to offer evidence that FDR secretly
manipulated the Japanese into an attack on
Pearl Harbor in order to serve his political agenda, the
"anti-conspiracy league" quickly appears to attack not
the evidence, but the state of mind of the accuser. When
World War II ended, the "international communist
conspiracy" was hurriedly rushed onstage to justify the
commitment of trillions of dollars of wealth and hundreds
of thousands of lives to fight a "Cold War." When the
"Cold War" critics began to speak and write about how
this campaign was designed to serve American
corporate-state interests at the expense of the American
people,
the "anti-conspiracy league" was again called into
action.
For those who are paying attention, the incongruity of
the critics of conspiracy theories should be apparent.
"We are busy conducting wars against sinister foreign
conspiracies," they might argue, "and anyone who suggests
that we might be engaged in conspiracies of our own, are
'paranoids.'" "They" conspire, in other words, but "we"
do not. A childishly simple explanation for consumption
by childishly simple minds.
"Paranoia" consists not in a fear of others, but in a
baseless fear. Would one regard a Jew, in Nazi Germany,
as "paranoid," because he thought the government was out
to do him harm? If so, how would we characterize the
state of mind of another Jew, similarly located, who
did not see any threat from his government? When one
further considers how preoccupied government officials
are with protecting themselves from those they imagine
themselves to represent - to the point of routinely
having bomb-sniffing dogs, armed security guards, and
military helicopters and soldiers accompany their public
appearances - it should be asked: just who is being
"paranoid?" (end of excerpt)

I am fully aware of a consorted effort by the powers that
be to stop the flow of information elsewhere and on these
yahoo egroups (prep2003 etc...) in regards to Planet X
passing in 2003. Murder has certainly been used as part
of this equation with those wishing to spread the word
and warn the public that were connected to NASA,
astronomical institutions, and the Vatican.
The first part of the on going disinformation process is
to broadly say through the mass media that Planet X does
not exist. If you bring it up to NASA you will be
ridiculed. This in itself shows you are hitting a sore
spot/cover-up. All other questions of any nature are
answered in a civil manner with no indignation.
The second part of the disinformation process is for
people who have done their research. They've curiously
found out that what is most wide spread is untrue, planet
X absolutely does exists. This in itself should tell
anyone that the disinformation process is in full
swing and wouldn't be there if they didn't have something
terribly important to hide.
Now for those here that know PX is real the
disinformation crew is here for them. Whether any
specific person is apart of them I don't know and don't
care. Some do curiously spend quite of bit of time on the
egroups trying their best to ridicule people or the
evidence, and down play the whole scenario at every turn.
Some have even created disinformation websites to do so.
For those in the know the next layer of disinformation
is to down play all evidence pointing toward the 2003
date. They will do their best to say none of what is
presented falls into the category of evidence. They will
ridicule all the information presented and frequently
make fun of who knows the truth of it. Some will do this
by appearing middle of the road. First they will present
themselves as a person who agrees with the evidence of
Planet X's existence and even say its a good idea to
prepare for something. If they get thrown off the list
for continually violating the guidelines, they will come
back under a new name, post a few pleasantries to get
approved and then wait till they think they believe it is
the right time to say the same things again, possibly
slightly altered.
The third level of disinformation is for the astronomers
at observatories or people within interconnected
government agencies that know that the date they are all
getting ready for is 2003. Even though there's a grand
history from a wide variety of cultures detailing the
calamities caused by PX's passing and corresponding
ecological and archaeological evidence, they will say to
the ones in the know about 2003; "Don't worry it won't
cause any damage when it passes but at the same time keep
quiet." Hmmm why would they tell them to keep quiet if
there's nothing to worry about?
I recognize that part of the disinformation process on
these egroups (most where debate is not allowed) is still
on-going. Part of that process is to ask about the
evidence of 2003, which has been given dozens of times
and can be found on prep2003 read only group in the
bookmarks. If an answer is given the same tired process
of attempting to say evidence is not evidence will
continue.
My whole idea about the disinformation process is this.
At this point with so many more reports of sightings,
pictures, continued blocking and ridicule, Planet X
getting closer every day, all the escalation in
earthchanges, what essentially is being done is putting
the fires out (spread of info about PX in 2003) with a
mound of wood chips. Yes, enough wood chips will
temporarily snuff out some of the flames but wait just a
little while longer and we'll see an uncontrollable
bonfire of knowing that only the greatest misdirection by
the media will succeed in dampening slightly.
This is just a sampling of the disinformation campaign
attempting to cover-up the reality of Planet X passing in
2003. In reality it's much more broad based and
sophisticated than the few examples I've given.
