Eleazar,
I’d just like to offer a small bit of editorial advice as words can be very powerful and invoke strong emotions in the audience to whom we address them. You might want to consider selecting another expression besides “conspiracy theories” to disparage or dismiss the information provided by Brother Hemphill. In point of fact, the CIA in the 1960s played a prominent role in popularizing (but not inventing) terms such as “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist”, using its powerful mass media apparatus, to discredit and ridicule narratives that contradicted the official government narratives of events or actions. As such, it seems like a disrespectful expression to bring into this forum as a means to dismiss the beliefs of another brother. There are plenty of other ways to express your observation that a specific narrative lacks credibility in your opinion instead of borrowing from the very lexicon of the Babylon System and using a phrase which that repugnant System has promoted as a disciplinary tool to intimidate people into walking lock step with its official narratives (which themselves are so often either distortions or outright fabrications).
Just a suggestion, my Brother. No offense intended as I very much appreciated the overall sentiment of your comment.
LOVE & PEACE, Brother
