Default Beware of conspiracy theory sites

Hi evereybody

Beware of right-wing libertarian, white-nationalist conspiracy sites like Michael Rivero's website 'What Really Happened', Jeff Rense's website Rense and Alex Jones's site Infowars. etc. etc.

Many of those right-wing white-nationalists, pro-free markets, libertarian sites have a white-racist agenda. Try to get your alternative news from marxists, leftists sites, instead of from conspiracy websites. Because those right-wing white-nationalists conspiracy theory websites have a hidden disinformation and white-racist agenda behind them based on the ideology of Pat Buchanan, Samuel Huntington, and other white-nationalist demagogues

"The dictatorship of the proletariat, i.e., the organization of the vanguard of the oppressed as the ruling class for the purpose of suppressing the oppressors, cannot result merely in an expansion of democracy. Simultaneously with an immense expansion of democracy, which for the first time becomes democracy for the poor, democracy for the people, and not democracy for the money-bags, the dictatorship of the proletariat imposes a series of restrictions on the freedom of the oppressors, the exploiters, the capitalists. " -Vladimir Lenin

"The People's democratic dictatorship needs the leadership of the working class. For it is only the working class that is most far-sighted, most selfless and most thoroughly revolutionary. The entire history of revolution proves that without the leadership of the working class revolution fails and that with the leadership of the working class revolution triumphs." -Mao Zedong

I used to get my daily news from MIchael Rivero's page 'What Really Happened', but i don't really understand what the hell is happening with Michael Rivero. I think he might be drinking too much or something, or some KKK is supporting him economically or something like that. Because of all of a sudden, Mike Rivero is posting lots of bloggers from people who hate Mexicans to death. He posts all these crimes done by "illegal aliens" to poor whites. And crimes done to poor weak whites, done by "Negros". Damn !!! I thought Mike Rivero was cool, but man !!! Maybe the booze and drugs got to his brain

Hey i liked this quote and it is so true:

"The People's democratic dictatorship needs the leadership of the working class. For it is only the working class that is most far-sighted, most selfless and most thoroughly revolutionary. The entire history of revolution proves that without the leadership of the working class revolution fails and that with the leadership of the working class revolution triumphs." -Mao Zedong


I read an article about the psychology of classes by Juan Bosch , a Dominican Republic's Social-democrat, who wrote that the poor classes, the lower classes are the most patriotic class, the class with the most idealist, he claimed that the other classes, (the middle classes and the upper classes) don't really care about its nation, about their country and their own culture, it is a more bourgeosie-internationalist class, like for example the neoliberal-globalization movement's ideology which don't care about other people's culture and religion. Remember how USA is trying to americanize islamic nations by force, and the iraqui resistance there come from the lower classes of Iraq, not from its upper classes.

marxistsocialist, you sound like an old poster who used to post here named "marxist_god" and that poster used to post stuff about Alex Jones and all those conspiracy sites all the time. I wouldn't be shocked if you were the same person but it is true, those conspiracy sites are hidden far-right trash.

I'd like to just remind everyone that the term 'conspiracy theory' is a political slur. If you want to determine if conclusions are sound or not, you have to do your homework and come to your own conclusions -- that goes for every one of us.

I do *not* defend nationalists or libertarians of any sort, but at the same time, I don't discriminate on *where* I get information from -- I have enough sense to sift through things and determine what's useful and what's not.


Chris

Hopefully this is not Marxist_god, but anyway, I think marxistsocialist brings up a good point.

I mean, I was quite shocked about how many posters liked the movie Zeitgeist, a movie which their website endorsed Ron Paul. I think the left is at a very confused moment and we should be aware that comrades could fall for such traps.

Ron Paul's policies in a nutshell:

"Fuck I hate negroes, but let's be nice and just crush them economically instead of throwing them in jail every time they smoke or snort something funny."

In the spirit of separating information from its author's politics, I present a review of Zeitgeist that I did a few months ago:


"Zeitgeist": Not a sign of the times, but a definite must-see documentary nonetheless

Hey, good advice, but I do get a laugh out of some of those sites. I activate my BORG shield first, though.
