There is all sorts of stuff floating around the internet that might rightly or wrongly be labelled as Conspiracy theory.

YouTube is brimming with such videos, some are very well made and carrying some semblance of credibility, others are absurdly lacking in anything resembling objectivity and can rightly be labelled as conspiracy. Personally, my opinion on this vast web of information about some of these ideas that may or may not be conspiracy is neutral, I need to see credible evidence instead of vague links before I pass judgement and accept them as believable or rubbish.

One thing is for sure though, we have a very visible problem that is reaping havoc for people and planet, and that is global capitalism, there is no great mystery here, no fantastic stories of shadowy elites and high tech social control methods, its all there in our faces, and particularly since the banking sector took its greed to astonishing levels leaving the world with the credit crunch in 2008, a credit crunch which Bankers and their political leader friends are expecting us to pay for either through drastic cuts to social spending, or their expectation that we will all work ourselves into early graves to pay off their gambling debts.

What I am trying to put forward here is that we need to deal with what we can see, instead of what might be, and global capitalism and its gluttonous use of our scarce resources in the name of so called growth is very real and very dangerous. I believe that we need to keep our eye on the ball so to speak and not end up cutting down alleyways that lead us no-where, if we choose this latter path then we are choosing to ignore that which is making people and planet sick.
