Conspiracy theory- A belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event.
Critical thinking is what is sometimes termed a “virtue phrase”, one that everyone embraces eagerly and, unfortunately, reflexively. It shares this awkward status with freedom, creative thinking, and cooperation.
So, the storm is explained by meteorology. Europeans modeled the storm and predicted it impacting New York on the correct day. They did this a week in advance while it was still just a low pressure system in the Caribbean. This is explained to these people, and their "critical thinking" skills lead them to, "well obviously these European meteorologists knew about the manipulation and were in on it, because only governments (and Raytheon apparently) are able to model weather correctly." That is complete hogwash. Do you realize how desirable it is for all kinds of industries and organizations to predict weather? There are some absolutely insane assumptions going on in this thread.
are those your words or from some other source?
