“Shut Up – Or Else!”
by James Rickards Daily Reckoning
Certain establishment types consider my ideas extreme. They accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist or some kind of kook, way outside the boundaries of acceptable consensus.
That’s fine, I expect that. If you threaten powerful interests, you can expect that they’ll try to discredit you.
The fact is people are conditioned to accept whatever the authorities tell them. It’s a powerful urge that actually goes back to evolutionary biology.
If you challenge what the authorities say, you become a threat to group cohesiveness, and, therefore, a threat to group survival.
