Chapter 3: Milo Yiannopolous






What is Milo Yiannapolous doing in a segment about conspiracy theories?
For the purpose of this book, conspiracy theories are defined as two or more people hiding the truth, usually for a malicious reason.

Let's refer to him as Milo throughout this chapter, as his last name takes too long to type.

2017 saw a massive and meteoric rise for Milo. A former journalist in the tech section of various online media platforms, was catapulted to the top of America's commentary elite. Elite in the sense that he received an enormous amount of popularity.

On to the conspiracy theory: the following will argue that Milo does not believe most of what he says. His sole function in any of this (other than increasing his own wealth and attention) was to improve the rights of homosexuals, particularly in the conservative circles and in the American Republican party. All the statements on feminism and Black Lives Matter and many about Muslim Americans are not relevant to anything Milo actually believes.

It is not unheard of for someone to make up stories or take an artificial stance on issues. If one is to look into the heart and soul of each and every American congressperson or senator, we might find that they do not believe every word of their platform, and much of their material, speeches, and ideology has been composed by their staff.

Political commentators are not so different, as it is a very profitable business, and Milo is no exception. When Milo landed on the American scene, you were faced with a British man with a Greek name talking about American politics. A gay homosexual man taking an anti-gay stance on most issues as being both Catholic and Jewish and anti-Muslim all at once. As the musical, Gypsy, told us "Get yourself a gimmick, and you will be a star."

Over the months since his debate with Boy George on gay marriage and making the statements that gays do not need to marry, and even stating in January of 2017 that he still planned to get gay conversion therapy, Milo has now become married himself.

He never believed any of the anti-Gay rhetoric, and he barely admits that he ever did in the first place. Milo is also very open about coming from the British polemic tradition of making a lot of noise to get your attention. Next, once your attention is caught, maybe you will listen to his platform. Some might call that the British polemic tradition. Some might call that deception, hiding the truth, and making up shit for attention. The choice of words is up to the audience.

Since getting married to is anonymous black husband, Milo has received a very wide welcome in the conservative and republican social circles. This perhaps was his intention all along. To slowly improve the social status of homosexuals in America and perhaps the rest of the world. Is this a conspiracy theory? Yes, because Milo and his team of writers hid the truth about their intentions. They misled the public for ages, and they used falsehoods to get on television and to sell books.

This does not mean that Milo has an irrelevant platform. He was one of the few members, from any political party to condemn the Muslim practice of executing homosexuals. Furthermore, perhaps the status of homosexuals in America has improved after Milo. On the other hand, the divisive comments about Muslim-Americans, African-Americans, and Women have opened a can of worms for American social history.

In short, this is Milo putting down another social group to push himself up.

Chapter 8: Neil deGrasse Tyson

Chapter 8: Neil deGrasse Tyson - Conspiracy Theories and Skepticism "A Conspiracy Theorist admits they do not have data to prove their point." "Tell them (a conspiracy theorist) to come back when they have the data." "If an argument lasts more than 5 minutes, both sides are wrong." -Neil deGrasse Tyson The quotes above come from Tyson's presentation to a conference referred to as the "I,Skeptic" conference. In short, he was filled in a room with skeptics and he had to cater to his audience.  Let's look at the three italicized points by Tyson, and in short, see where he missteps. What this does not account for is how conspiracy theories have penetrated the academic circles of research. This also does not account for the work of individuals who claim that they have obtained the truth. The work of Seymour Hersh as he broke the stories of the My Lai Massacre in Southeast Asia and the Abu Gharib Prison scandal in Iraq are to n...

Chapter 0: The Deep State

E-Book Read Online for Free Chapter 0: The Deep State If you read any part of this book, I hope it is this section. If you come away with anything from this book, I hope that it is this chapter on the Deep State because many theories on the Deep State have turned out to be true. It goes by many names: the Deep State, The Shadow Government, The Invisible Government, The Parallel Government, as well as with other compounding theories such as the American Corporate Empire and the Empire of Economic Hegemony. Financial powers control the government. There is an executive branch, as well as legislative and judicial, yet they are all subservient in the established connections of the Deep State. The president, senators, and representatives change, but the Deep State does not change. Massive financial controls have a stranglehold on the government, and they manipulate the government into performing certain actions to suit their special interests...as well as taking advantage of develo...

Chapter 5: Christopher Hitchens

Chapter 5: Christoper Hitchens When making criticisms about anything in the world, it is important to come at the subject from many points of view. If one is going to make statements criticizing the conspiracy theorism of Alex Jones, it is also fair to do segments on individuals such as Christopher Hitchens, Noam Chomsky, and Lyndon LaRouche. Once again it is very difficult to make critical statements about the work of individuals like Hitchens. Similar feelings might be found in the chapter on Milo Yiannopoulos. Christopher Hitchens was and still is a man of great popularity. He has an enormous following that still holds his work in a high regard. However, once again there must be a certain degree of evaluation that comes to anyone in his line of work. In his later years, Hitchens became famous for his work on Atheism, or his particular brand, Anti-Theism. As he said in a blunt manner on Sean Hannity's Sunday show, Hannity's America. I'm an Anti-Theist. I think Rel...
