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?"

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.
