This seemed like a fun quotation to build upon.
In another post, Greg said the following:
It struck me today that "The Nine" were all American priests too back in 1983, weren't they?
Why is it that Americans always seem to discover these diabolical plots to destroy the SSPX and Tradition?
Maybe, just maybe, it is because Americans are prone to be somewhat nutty-nutbar, insular and reactionary thinkers. You know, invading countries they cannot find on the map. "If you're not with us you're against us". A two party political system (4 parties would confuse people too much).
Maybe, these US priests simply don't fly over to Europe enough and get to know the district Superior. Can either Pfieffer or Hewko speak French and converse with Bishop Bernie in his native tongue? Did Pfieffer learn Tagalog, Mandarin or Urdu in his Asia postings? Williamson is a polyglot.
Why does America have Talk Radio and Alex Jones, but Australia and Britain don't? Why do most conspiracy theories come out of America. Why are UFOs sighted in America more than all the rest of the world put together? Why are French people not seeing black helicopters and "chem-trails"? Seriously, ask yourself. The SSPX is a global organisation but the two crisises in its 40 history come from America. Is that a mere co-incidence?
So. Could it be true that Americans are predisposed to conspiracy theory? I know that I personally am.
If so, why?
Perhaps it has something to do with the idea that our very foundation was rooted in a conspiratorial group (the Freemasons). Maybe paranoia is a part of our heritage.
cօռspιʀαcιҽs exist. That is for sure. The Devil's struggle to drag people into Hell is a conspiracy in itself. But I swear...the last decade has been filled with cօռspιʀαcιҽs and counter cօռspιʀαcιҽs.
Does no one else in the world acknowledge conspiracy? I know that Syria realized American involvement in funding militants. I know that America has backed--publicly--the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. I know that Iran is always accusing our government of conspiring with Jєωs.
Doesn't anyone in Europe also consider cօռspιʀαcιҽs besides David Icke?
What about all the Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ involvement in Europe and South America. I know the Freemasons did a lot of crap in Ecuador and killed a holy president down there.
Oh, and I know that Obama has been sending gαy ambassadors to different countries, including the Philippines.
Sigh.
