Conspiracy Madness Everywhere

There is a rather strange phenomenon overtaking peoples minds in this area and its the accelerating trend for belief in conspiracy theories. I even made this little film (see link) of one of the local ex pats, Ian, summarising what he felt were the important conspiracy theories to date.  To me its akin to following a cult, the new 'Suspicious of everything and anyone in authority' and 'all is never as it appears but is always more sinister' cult. No doubt there are secrets here and there and information misrepresented, after all nothing is perfect, but this is way over the top paranoia and mistrust of everything BUT what the conspiracists are saying.
Peoples brains are deteriorating more and more into that paranoia over each and every conspiracy.
I seem to be one of the rare ones who doesn't pay heed to it all.
All the conversation yesterday at Esperaza market and later on in the place of Rennes les Bains was upon this subject. Ian, seen in the video above, now says that chem trails from overhead airplanes have given him swine flu, and another friend has become so freaked out about these said chem trails that he has admitted himself to a mental hospital.
Yashoda, a friend in England told me how Eckhart Tolle explains that this lack of controlling our own negativity is the prime cause of pollution. Its an interesting concept.
Certainly it is spreading fear in the minds of humanity, and time and energy is wasted on battling mirages.
Its an interesting perspective, that all this negativity may actually be harming our existence on this planet, because conspiracies have been about painting malicious beings outside of oneself and no responsibility is taken for what reactions that may create. People need to honestly look within and find out why they prefer to give so much energy to suspicion and paranoia.
The modern mind has the same susceptibility to rumour mongering that has in other lands led to one community turning on another, and in the past to women being burnt as witches. Such theories are malicious gossip on a grand scale, and come from inability to trust one who is other than self. Recognising ones own imperfections humbly within will stop one needing to project them elsewhere.
