Right now, the conspiracy theorists have a huge pile of controversies to dissect.”

We can all agree, the world is in disarray. The planet is out of order with a lagging economic crisis, terror mayhem, and police brutality. There is a frightening Ebola outbreak. We have a suspicious Malaysian flight’s mischief and religious wars. Yes, our world is in peril. All we can do is ask why? Common sense tells us there is a reason for every action. To every effect, there is a cause. So, the best we can do is to try and answer the – why. Right now, the conspiracy theorists have a massive pile of controversies to dissect. This is why, in this blog, I will not answer the why. What I will do is help you put the question in a clear perspective. This way, it will be up to you to decide the answer to – why.

Economic Crisis:

After a disgraceful, wallet shrinking recession, we are breathing a little easier. The economy is better now than how President Bush Jr. had it when he was in office. Firstly, the national deficit is not tripling as it was. Second, the labor market is much better than it was. Of course, these new jobs are not high paying jobs. Many people are still underemployed or unemployed. But you have to admit, at least the economy is not losing jobs. Not by hundreds of thousands each month. As it did before the Obama administration which hasn’t been impressive but alright.

At this point, it’s safe to say the recession is over.”

American families do not leave the keys in their homes and flee to the valley as they were in 2009. And if Wall Street is still giving fat bonuses, you and I will never know. It is not in the news anymore. At this point, it’s safe to say the recession is over. GM is not laying off, or closing plants and the price of gas has not reached $10 a gallon. However, people in the middle class are still gnashing their teeth. People are still out. The average healthcare bill is still high. There is no job security and honestly, millions of people are still flat broke. Some say the recession is still here. Why?

Terror Indignation:

Tell me you did not squirm at the new terrorist group that has made Al Qaeda look like Girl Scouts. Well, you did not laugh because you wished there wasn’t a more difficult terrorist group out there, you did because you could not imagine an organization so vile that even Al Qaeda denounced them. The joke soon ended when we heard how serious these guys are. They copied their strategy of the West by using the media, social networking and advanced systems of public relations to increase their visibility. And it appears they came out of nowhere.

Well, you did not laugh because you wished there wasn’t a more difficult terrorist group out there, you did because you could not imagine an organization so vile that even Al Qaeda denounced them.”

Before long, we heard they were not only willing to recruit Westerners, but in fact, Westerners are eager to flock to their battlefields. Really? You mean guys are anxious to give up their SUVs, townhouses and so-called freedoms of the West to live, fight and die in some of the harshest terrines of the Middle East? Why? What have we done to make them even consider joining the enemy to compete against their own countries? This problem is so wild the West has put in place, measures to ensure that the youths cannot be recruited into “terror” and if they were, they would struggle to return home to conduct attacks on the homeland. What is making them want to do that?

In most cases, it is difficult to differentiate between the police and the army since the police have copied the military by wearing their uniform.”

Police Brutality:

Since the murder of Trayvon Martin, there have been several other police murders of unarmed civilians in America. In all respects, this is yet another challenge in our world today. In 2014, Americans came to realize that even as the government seeks to deprive citizens of their rights to keep and bear arms, the same government is arming the police with military-style weapons. It is difficult to differentiate between the police and the army since the cops have copied the military by wearing their uniform and deploying military-style equipment and arms against the unarmed citizens of America.

The police are power crazed and desperate to incite fear. The cops stop at nothing, not even the murder of teenagers or young men or parents in the presence of their children. In America, the police have declared war on all citizens. The National Guard was deployed in Missouri this summer, but the government quickly aborted the deployment knowing that an attempt to control the police could lead to a firefight with the National Guard, should they try to stop them. Would the cops really fire on the National Guard? Why?

Ebola Outbreak:

This same year, as if all the current troubles are not severe enough, there is the worst outbreak of Ebola in history. If you ask the Africans, they will tell you that they are well aware that the virus was released into West Africa, that under no circumstances was it an accident. The disease spread quickly because the first victims were convinced that they had been infected with the virus deliberately so, they fled treatment centers where they suspected a more sinister agenda took place. In the West, it is believed that the virus was ingested by eating infected wild animals.

Shortly after the outbreak, the second flight of Malaysia was shot from the sky.”

Just like the aids virus which Africans are convinced was brought to Africa from the West to blame them for its existence, West Africans now claim they ate bush meat for centuries without ingesting any diseases. They are in disbelief how was it possible to suddenly swallow Ebola in 2014 from the same bushmeat they had been eating all these generations? Shortly after the outbreak, the second flight of Malaysia was shot from the sky. Conspiracy theorists began to spread rumors on social networking sites that a doctor was en-route to Australia to reveal the actual source of the outbreak when the flight was stopped from reaching Sydney.

Malaysia Flight:

This brings us to the mysterious downing of two flights from Malaysia this year. The first one disappeared for hours before it was reported. Considerable ocean research was launched with several speculations told to analyze when, how or where the plane lost contact with air traffic control or what happened on board and where it could have crashed. After months of research and a very confused public dismay, we were reminded that our superpowers are significantly limited especially when it comes to the ocean.

During this agitation a second flight from Malaysia was blown out of the sky.”

Ultimately the media have moved on to other stories, and the audience is left to ask, why? As if the families from the first flight had not suffered enough, we heard of a Russian involvement in Ukraine that led to unrest in the region. During this agitation, the second flight from Malaysia was blown out of the sky. The remains of the crew, passengers, goods and the plane were left unattended in a rebel-held Ukrainian wilderness. No one has been held accountable, no explanation has been given, details of the incident are scarce, and the world has done nothing. Why? *
