In 2005, Etienne Davignon, Chairman of the Steering Committee Bilderberg Group, discussed accusations of the group striving for a one-world government with the BBC: "It is unavoidable and it doesn't matter. There will always be people who believe in conspiracies but things happen in a much more incoherent fashion... When people say this is a secret government of the world I say that if we were a secret government of the world we should be bloody ashamed of ourselves."
There is no shadow government in the USA and
2 or more people are never planning anything in secret that is devious and evil and would hurt the American citizens. Our government is honest and true and you can rest assured that there is no need for the American people to be able to know what is in a bill before it is passed. You can trust that everything they pass is good for you. Really! Be at peace and go about your life. The government has got your back. (No pun intended).
Now please, enough with the conspiracy talk.
Does this come under Poe's law or does it need a smiley?

I see you are a Christian, so let me respond in this context.There is no shadow government in the USA and
2 or more people are never planning anything in secret that is devious and evil and would hurt the American citizens. Our government is honest and true and you can rest assured that there is no need for the American people to be able to know what is in a bill before it is passed.

Now please, enough with the conspiracy talk.
Our government is honest and true
My point exactly.As honest and true as Pinocchio telling the truth. Our government is filled with lies and deceit it's not even funny. I wouldn't trust our government to even mow my yard.
You know how to tell when someone in our government is telling a lie? When they open their mouths.
Of course there are operatives here who deny specific conspiracies.My point exactly.
Conspiracy theories are only theories till proven fact and many have been proven fact and yet you still have people, who knows maybe they are government operatives, but regardless you still have people that marginalize others that are rightfully suspicious of the government. Sure, not all Federal employees are evil, I don't think there was anyone even saying that. But to jettison critical thinking skills and a healthy suspicion in some events that have taken place is just foolishness.
Notice it is usually the establishment media that runs the interference and derides individuals who suggest that something may have been a conspiracy. It is the below conspiracies that turned out to be fact that cause people to be wary of the government.
- Operation AJAX - CIA operation to stage a coup and replace Mohammad Mossadegh.
- Gulf of Tonkin Resolution - pretext for going to war with North Vietnam
- Operation Gladio
- Operation Northwoods
- Tobacco companies deliberately added addictive chemicals to cigarettes
- Operation Fast and Furious
- NSA spying & mass surveillance,
- European Parliament statement that "within Europe all e-mail, telephone and fax communications are routinely intercepted" by the NSA. Download the pdf or Word doc and goto [1.2.1. The first STOA report of 1997]
- CIA Drug Trafficking
I find the people who say there are NEVER any conspiracies just as ridiculous as the people who think everything is a conspiracy.
But, let's be clear, evil acts ARE intentionally engineered and are not just an "accident of history".
Of course there are operatives here who deny specific conspiracies.
And some folks are not operatives, they are just overly convinced by a company they keep.
Sometimes I tell them ... at least ask them to pay you for it.
Of course there are conspiracies.
And I am NOT saying that every conspiracy theory is a productive exercise of sanity.
I think the real conspiracy takes the form of Poes designed to make Christians look like crazies and morons.
