Joeseph Stack's Suicide Letter

[Ikeren]

@Hasbinbad: Consistent lack of credible evidence with conspiracy theories I've been presented with thus far is good reason to be moderately sceptical of new ones; especially new ones which are presented with not much evidence and lots of language like; "government wins, hello communism," and, "Fight the ocean, you will drown," oh, and here's a real gem; "...the rotting pig stew we're in..." Ockham's Razor is also a decent starting point. I think examining conspiracy theories makes sense, but many theories and proponents of theories do an exceptionally poor job of providing engaging arguments or evidence to people prior to the "buying the book" stage (which, because of the failure to provide engaging arguments or evidence, fewer people get to). Instead, vague generalizations and mockery of anyone who doesn't immediately say "Oh, look at your vague generalizations, this book seems great, I should go buy it" is generally met with mockery; which again, isn't conducive to getting people to engage with the theory.

@IRS: Post some of the arguments contained in the book, a real summary or explanation of the arguments/examples? Thus far, we have nothing more than "there is such thing as a conspiracy theory of history, and this such book exists." I have a torrent of The Unseen Hand running, but it has basically no seeders, so it's going to take a while. Then reading it, and looking up the evidence it presents. If we're going to have a discussion, you are probably much better off posting a little more of the books content.

I have made extensive use of quotations from the works of others as a means of convincing the skeptic that the evidence of the Conspiracy's existence comes from others than this author.

With that line, I look forward to reading the book; but you can't expect me to be anything but a sceptic until A) I've read the book, or B) Someone has presented me with some of the arguments/evidence contained in the book.

Furthermore, since your interest is to get the most people to read this book and recognize the examples and arguments contained therein as true, you are better off providing some of those arguments, because a person is more likely to go to the effort to buy and read a book if they have initial reason to believe the book is going to be interesting and provide new evidence and arguments. At the moment, I am moderately sceptical that the book won't be something I haven't read a dozen times before. David Icke was crazy, but at least his material represented a new progression of old ideas.

So yeah; I am interested, but give me some material to go on.
