[New-Poetry] conspiracies

[Judy Prince]

Hmmmm.....
I just read the interminable site Birk URL'ed---the equivalent of listening
to USA's post-midnight AM talk radio that's loaded with
obsessed-about-conspiracies dudes.  The topics often are crop circles,
aliens from outerspace landing at Roslyn Air Force Base, and the
Rockefellers and Rothschilds at the centre of the intrigues.

Re the intellectuals vilified in this piece and some others not skewered in
it, it's fascinating as well as profoundly negativing to get biog-data on
them.  Many of them, as foggy-thinking as any other folks on drugs, manage
to take over impressive hunks of our cultures and wrestle them to the ground
with impunity.  It's a mistake to think that intellectuals, like actors, are
good to follow.  Some intellectuals have the ear of wealthy folk, if they're
not themselves wealthy; hence, they're in the catbird seat to set up the
artists and lifestyles they favour.  As with many conspiracy theorists' spun
rationality, then, there is a bit of logical reasoning in this theorist's
conclusions.  On balance, though, I think, these amazing and energetic
little manifestoes are a fascinating art form if you haven't been exposed to
them much.  After that, well, it'll feel natural to turn off the radio,
smile, and go to sleep.  However, it would be well to pick out the pieces of
this theorist's argument that "resonate".  Few folks are entirely nutty, as
you know from knowing yourself and your own family members and friends.
 Locking out all of their fervent theses might be shortsighted.
