A brave new study financed by TPTB proves what conspiracy theorists have been saying all along.
I’m not surprised that there seems to be a fascination with conspiracy theorists. No matter how much they’ve been made fun of, marginalized and maligned they just keep on making connections that they shouldn’t. They aren’t even listening anymore. They just keep pointing out the global criminal syndicate and their crimes no matter what we do. Maybe if we could find a way to get them into custody…
P.S. We never went to the Moon.
Those who subscribe to outrageous conspiracy theories are more likely to commit low-level crime, a new study has found.
Belief in such ideas – like the theory that Princess Diana was murdered by the British establishment – has often been associated with negative outcomes such as political disengagement, prejudice, and environmental inaction.
And now psychologists from the universities of Kent and Staffordshire suggest it can also make people more inclined to be involved in antisocial and ‘unethical’ acts.
These actions include petty crime, such as trying to claim for replacement items, refunds or compensation from a shop when they were not entitled to do so.
A second study showed that those who were exposed to conspiracy theories during the experiment were immediately more accepting of low-level crime.
Professor Karen Douglas, of Kent’s School of Psychology, said: ‘People who believe in conspiracy theories – such as the theory that Princess Diana was murdered by the British establishment – are more likely to accept or engage in everyday criminal activity.’
‘Our research has shown for the first time the role that conspiracy theories can play in determining an individual’s attitude to everyday crime.
‘It demonstrates that people subscribing to the view that others have conspired might be more inclined toward unethical actions.‘
Dr Dan Jolley, of Staffordshire University, said: ‘People believing in conspiracy theories are more likely to be accepting of everyday crime, while exposure to theories increases a feeling of anomie, which in turn predicts increased future everyday crime intentions.’
The study, entitled Belief in conspiracy theories and intentions to engage in everyday crime, and published in the British Journal of Social Psychology, was performed in two parts with separate groups of people.
In the first, the researchers asked 253 participants what their attitudes towards conspiracy theories were – including the British government duping the public on issues of national security.
These same participants were then asked how acceptable they considered small crime, which ranged from ‘unethical action’ to petty crime.
The team found a high positive correlation between the two.
In the second study, 120 people were asked the same questions about crime, but 50 per cent of the participants were given an article about a conspiracy theory to read during the experiment.
The results showed that those who read the article had a stronger inclination to engage in petty crime than those who didn’t.

“Over the course of three online-based studies…”
How completely expected.
I’d bet there is a positive correlation between being a psychologist and being insane.
It’s not a conspiracy theory, if it is true.
however, when the truth becomes to hard to hide, then you will see the length they go to hide the truth:
1. lost all the tapes to verify a moon landing
2. destroyed all the evidence of the WTC bombings,
3. there has never been a plane reconstruction, like they did with flight 800 off of long island,
since 911, but there have been many planes that have fallen out of the sky since then.
just keep calm, we are winning, they can’t hide the truth anymore, now that we are able to get information from non-state sanctioned propaganda outlets- aka MSM.
Hillary lies/cheats/cons, Obama is a traitor, the FBI are traitors, it is all coming into the light now.
Keep the faith.
Nuckular weaponz only go BANG in the movies!
“there is a positive correlation between being a psychologist and being insane”
Bingo!
The idea that conspiracy theorists are criminals or predisposed to criminal activity comes right out of the jewish bolshevik communist playbook in which conspiracy theorists are to be considered “mentally ill” and that they need to be remanded to “mental institutions” for “treatment”.
This is just what the jewish communist bolsheviks did to dissidents in the former soviet union.
You mean like this?
Jones is a Zionist who is now saying his audiences and conspiracy theorists in general are schizophrenics. He has fully outed himself as a paid psyop shill
If you question the narrative you are a conspiracy theorists. If you dont scream your belief of their natrative you must be mentally ill. So lets pass anti gun kaws that forbid mentally ill from owning protection from tyrants (guns). That way we get 100% compliance of believers and ban all guns. Hey, great idea so I can be dictator, they all say. Problem is they do not realize dictator is not a plural, fucking retards. They all think “they” themselves will have the power.
The “brave new study by TPTB” is a conspiracy to paint all conspiracy theorists as mentally unstable, low level criminals. “Deniers” are now criminals if they don’t swallow what they are told to and regurgitate it when cued.
Michelle Obama is a transvestite, his husband a homosexual Kenyan. 9/11 was an inside job.
It all makes sense, the urge to steal candy and soda from 7-11 only arises when…….above
Big Mike 2020
I wonder what this study cost? Who paid for it? Who gets the results? Maybe it in itself is a conspiracy.
Whatever it cost, in some way, YOU helped pay for it through monies that were likely stolen from you though a mechanism portrayed by the thieves as being “essential to maintain civilization as we know it.”
I can still remember George Bush jr. saying not to belive ” outrageous conspiracy theories” when talking about 9/11. Yeah, thanks for the tip you POS.
Real simple man, whatever they say or want you to do, just do the opposite and you will be on the right side and outcome.
The Magicians call it miss-direction.
Misdirection: In political magic, misdirection is a form of deception in which the politician draws sheeple attention to one thing to distract it from another. Managing sheeple attention is the aim of most politicians, and the foremost requirement of all political acts of both parties.
Whether the magic is of a “free shit’ pocket trick effect or the old sleight of hand of fractional reserve lending it doesn’t matter…it works on more then enough idiots to keep the act intact!
Illusion is the most powerful magic there is! Easily one of the best movies. EVER.

Wow, that is some crap acting by JT..
Lots better in Pulp Fiction.
Anti-Social behaviour : Not watching TV, Not giving a fuck about professional sports, Not giving a fuck about the actors in Washington, Not taking your vaccines, Not numbing yourself with alcohol, Not wanting to fuck someone of the same sex, Not wanting to kiss illegal immigrant ass, and give them your money, Not trusting the medical professionals and drug companies. Not placing your trust in new technologies and the great and glorious future they are supposed to bring.
Guilty
Left out gun toting and bible thumpin’
Agree with gun toting, but I tend to thump the Nag Hammadi 🙂
I thought you were divorced?
We’re hardwired just like our ancestors. Today’s whack-job conspiracy theorist would have been burning witches 400 years ago.
We found a sheep people a sheep indeed you are, Marshrabbit. You deepstate troll.
I think the whack job conspiracy theorist would probably have been the witch actually.
Maybe Rarsh Mabbit is dyslexic?
Wow! 373 people – must be a definitive study. I wonder what the make-up of their subjects was… age, gender, income, political leanings. They probably just forgot to list the variables, since they were SO busy asking 373 people questions. Also, what were the questions asked? The exact wording.
Indeed, it has been said that if you ask the right questions, you NEVER have to worry about the answers.
This kind of nonsense is good evidence that TPTB are concerned that the truth is reaching too many people. Standard MO for the left; when the facts undermine the official narrative, attack the person. Another tactic is to include nonsensical conspiracy theories on the list to tar anyone who might get too close to the truth on the important ones–JFK and 9/11. There’s so much evidence that the official stories are false on these (along with the deep state undermining Trump), it’s truly insulting when idiots like the authors of this piece include them as conspiracy theories.
Q. What makes people believe in conspiracy theories?
A. Pseudo scientific practioners of psychology who cannot tell that trannies and queers are mentally ill.
Those people are not in touch with reality enough to differentiate between facts and theories.
Yeah, Conservative Christians who believe Conspiracy Theories are the greatest threat to American’s God Given Constitutional Freedoms; also, 99% of scientist say CO2 drives the Climate and 90% of the public agrees, 80% of Americans support Socialism and want taxes to be increased to expand Welfare, 85% support Gay Pride, 75% approve of late term abortions, 85% want Dope legalized, 87% want rid of the Electoral College, 78% don’t want a Wall built and do want the illegals to be pardoned, 88% want the 2nd Amendment repealed, and 79% think Trump conspired with the Russians to defeat Hillary Clinton and should be Impeached.
Supporting the restoration of self-ownership should not be lumped into your list. Acts between consenting adults, acts that do not involve harm to another or their property, and acts that involve the ingestion of various plant or chemical compounds, are acts that should NEVER be under the control of another, especially the government. You either own your own body and can do with it what YOU wish, so long as you are not harming another or their property, or you are nothing more than the property of the state – a slave.

Just released. Watch it. Learn. And pray to be delivered from The Demon Of Moron.
Notice that the one person in mission control who was not a white man was the one the trailer featured.
And this proves………..that Hollywood can remake what Hollywood produced the first time. Only this time they have an even bigger budget so the special effects will be even more believable and will sucker in a whole new generation. Yeah, Hollywood and the worthless federal government have been in bed with each other since the end of WW1.
Might explain TDS… IF you believe Trump is evil incarnate, it’s OK to punch his supporters and vandalize their stuff.
I’m starting to believe in conspiracy theories because the fucken shit below is UNEXPLAINABLE apart from some great grand conspiracy designed to make White People commit mass suicide.
=====================
1)— The other day Iowa played Maryland in basketball. Maryland has a tall center who is pretty good. He’s black. He was killing Iowa. The Iowa radio basketball announcer said this guy was playing like “King Kong”. EVERYONE with half a brain knows what he meant. But someone at the Univ. of Iowa got triggered. And so, the immediately SUSPENDED the announcer, without pay, for one full year. Every Iowa fan will tell you this announcer doesn’t have a racist bone in his body.
2)– First responders in NYC are trying to get “spit masks” — screen-mesh masks they would wear to protect them from diseased perps spitting on them. There’s a big holdup over …. the color. It comes in white, but city snowflakes feel people will be triggered because it looks like a KKK hood. It also comes in black. But, that sends a “wrong message” and is racist.
3)– A new study just released says that KNITTING is fraught with racism. Not kidding!!
“The knitting community is reckoning with racism ” ——> https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/2/25/18234950/knitting-racism-instagram-stories
I Think this is just run of the mill insanity.
BTW-did anyone see the article about facebook contractors who do content moderation? They all end up with PTSD from all the murder videos, racism, and they start believing 911 was an inside job and the Earth is flat. Just from being exposed to others’ opinions. Same thing happened to an AI program Microsoft(? I think it was them, mebbe facebook) put online 2 years ago. Within 24 hours of being exposed to the internet, the AI was racist, too. I guess mere exposure to us is bad enough. I wonder how long it takes to warp a lefttard into a conservative gun-toting redstate redneck patriot?
One minute, maybe less, especially if it involves the LibTard losing all their personal property, getting anally penetrated, and subsequently laughed at by the cops.
“Fiber artists of color are taking to Instagram stories to call out instances of prejudice — and to try to shape a more inclusive future.” What in the name of all that is Holy does that even mean? Fiber artists of color?? You are knitting shit!! What does that have to do with racism? Yeah, my mom knits like crazy. She can knit a fucking king-bed size comforter in an hour that will blow your mind, but that’s racist? What the fuck? Wait..she’s white. She’s automatically racist. Doesn’t matter what color the comforter is. Or does it? If she knits something brown, is that ok? Or is she appropriating black culture? What if it’s yellow? Will the chinks get pissed? They don’t care.
I’m living in bizarro world. Nothing makes sense. Kill ’em all and let God sort them out. America, and western civilization as a whole is long gone. If white people cannot stand up for themselves and let themselves be destroyed by guilt, then there is no turning back. I’m gong to try and enjoy myself as long as I can until I die. I’ll smoke fine cigars and drink scotch whiskey, all night long, until it’s illegal, then I’ll do it even more.
Here’s a mask that will promote everyone’s “agenda:”
All the commenters here should be arrested for environmental inaction.
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
Doesn’t matter who said it. And I don’t know who wins. But they will do whatever it takes to keep people from finding out the truth.
If anyone is a narcissist, it is the people behind those stupid studies.
Gandhi said it.
A video aboot Intelligent design and farts…
What’s up with the Deutsch flag cuffs?
While the people ACTUALLY ENGAGING IN THE CONSPIRACIES are some of the most heinous criminals in the history of man’s existence on earth.
Oh, and what a load.
Why isn’t Alex Acosta in chains and a[n] Orange [Charlatan] jumpsuit?
Because, unlike libtards, we wait for facts. Looks suspicious as hell, but suspicions aren’t facts. (Maybe the presstitutes could … Nah, never mind.)
WHAT?
Acosta cut a deal for Epstein that was so blatantly ILLEGAL even a casual observer could see this (years ago).
A federal judge went on record a couple weeks back… ILLEGAL!
Illegal sealed deal to get Epstein 13 months = Trump later gives Acosta a cabinet job = Broad daylight felonies committed by PEDO PROTECTORS get ignored = final nail in the coffin of the American rule of law = No time to fuck around = The time to choose your side was years ago
Looks like illegal. Personally, I’m leaning 98% illegal, but, the court of ‘public opinion’ is manufactured by the MSM. Just look at the Trayvon Martin case for an example. If he was recommended by that POS Bush, jr., then I’ll go to 99%.
UK is the commie shithole of the west. Conspiracy or not I see what they do. So did the report actually measure data from police station arrest sheets then ask were they conspiracy theorists. No so it’s full of shit. Through observation of fact it is the denier that robs, cheats and murders its way through life. UK has been doing this since the first aristocracy.
AOC is a conspiracy. LGTBQ is a conspiracy just to name a few.
Well hell, if I had known I was a criminal when I was a kid I would have become a criminal instead of law-abiding shitizen of conspirifact. Conspiracies and paranoia are not conspiracies and paranoia when it is actually happening. Best thing I did for my PTSD was stop seeing the shills in the psychology arts and get back to associating with my fellow vets that experience the shit show itself.
I am pretty sure that reality is much better now that I make it up as a go. George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are primed for a spectral return due to the corruption and complete lunacy going on in Western government these days.
You want to know what I was accused of being a conspiracy theorist about: the fact that we likely had OBL on ice since December 2001 when he got shredded by BUFFs carpet bombing his asshole inside out and Dubya and his keepers decided to keep that one in the freezer until a good moment….like when you know, someone had to throw shade on his tacit approvals of droning everything out of existence…except his Nobel Peace Prize.
This whole world is a fucking paradox.
Psychologists, for the overwhelming majority of them, can eat a dick.
“Psychologists, for the overwhelming majority of them, can eat a dick.”
They sure will jump right up to ‘justify’ the LGBTQXYZ123 community. You know, to help a male understand that he really is a female…..0r perhaps no ‘gender’ at all ?!
annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum- DSM 5 shrinks are the very reason this country is so upside down….I’ve watched as my kid sister has destroyed her own life, gobbling down dope prescribed by the “drs.”….all the while building an impenetrable defense around her psyche-she hasn’t been able to properly cope until she FINALLY learned, she has PTSD…..from a bad divorce settlement that left her in a financial position which required she get a job !
Those hacks love to push the feelings and ridiculous moral coding. Fuckers actually asked me, when on active duty, if I thought killing other humans was acceptable. I laughed my way out of Captain Dipshit’s office. Of course it is ok to kill other humans. I would not have joined a military branch if I didnt think it was ok. Got back to my unit and they damn near committed me.
My point being is that this country is now in the final stage of ditching all logic for the new astrology and the rationalization of feelings preempting logical discourse.
Where the fuck is an infinity gauntlet when you truly need one?
There needs to be a massive die off event already.
is it conspiracy to believe that 80% of psychological studies are not reproducible?
Only a Lefty would think that political disengagement, prejudice and environmental inaction are negative outcomes. Some of us find those to be positive!
My take is those that believe in conspiracy theories think for themselves and out fo the box, looking at all evidence or potentials. Making them out to be criminals is a projection of the real criminals to dox and mark those for elimination in the future. These elitist want sheep to mind the wolf at all cost. Because these wolves want power, ultimate power over the sheep. They hate the fact that any sheep would think on their own and not sponge up the narrative the wolves provide. They want ulitmate compliance with no questions or “theories”. Well they can bugger off. These bloody tyrants will have a battle they are not prepared for in their wildest dreams. Unless they remain on a successful track of brainwashing the mindless millenials and younger generations while the patriots grow old and die. Govts play the long game. We need to eradicate socialists and communist outside their respective govts and not allow them to breed and pass on their defunct DNA to stop their long game. They should be ventilated now, post haste before they brainwash just one more.
All this proves is that studies can be written to support any lame brain theory or idea.
Conspiracy theorists are to low level crime as their theorys are to high lvel crime, or, everyone should become a conspiracy theorist instead of part of the conspiracy. Climate change is real. Lol.
The U.K. is so screwed up with P.C. now you can’t believe anything they say, including the universities.
