Because it hasn't. The "free energy" stuff is way off the mark and pales in comparison to absolute kookery of weather machines being responsible for things climate change is actually doing.
They don't have a solid grasp of reality and it shows in how they're unaware about the specific things the oil industry is doing. Much of their rhetoric is big oil propaganda being repeated anyway.
War for oil isn't a conspiracy - it's such obvious public knowledge that there are memes about it. Yes, the country that is a major oil producer and in the currency of which most if not all oil transactions are done uses its military might to preserve the status quo - that's hardly a secret.
- viridian 1y agoWould you claim that the U.S. invasion of Iraq being primarily for oil was not a conspiracy theory? If so, then you are at odds with (at the very least) then president George W. Bush, and then prime ministers Tony Blair and John Howard. You can't have your cake and eat it too, either the conspiracy theorists do include oil-motive conspiracy theorists, or heads of state have little influence over what is considered an acceptable, non-conspiratorial idea in public discourse.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoWar for oil is a conspiracy, but an unprosecuted one. Your disdain for the conspiracy theorist scene is mirrored in that scenes disdain for justice. In the case where there is actionable justice that can be achieved, the conspiracy theory is no longer a theory - the conspiracy is prosecuted in the courts of our proud nations' democratic institutions.
