Ok, some points

1) Given what happened in southern Louisiana with Katrina (a disaster management f**k of epic proportions), some sort of national emergency infrastructure seems like a good idea. Thing is by bringing in people like alec jones you suddenly jump form something that frankly is fairly neutral to even potentially beneficial in its intent to it instantly being sinister, and invidence in and of itself of a sinister conspiracy.
2) Again Ron Paul has a flair for the dramatic, that he's somehow privy to some massive conspiracy in virtue of being a congressman is prehaps plausible. But if this conspiracy is so omnipresent and powerful and most important sinister, then why does he get to go around shouting about it, or even hinting at it?
3) Whilst im familiar with the works of Malthus and agree with their general import, I could disagree that most of the powerful people and organisations appears to be particularly concerned with it, certainly there is much written on the notion of unlimited progress being the primary assumption behind economic policy. Population control is certaintly not a sinister policy, 7 billion certaintly is not sustainable. But I suppose that's neither here nor there, my point is merely that if the CCP can't do it, why could some shadowy cabal.
4) These elites you speak of clearly owing their wealth to large organised civil society, why would they then seek to destroy that by reducing the world population to levels of what 400ad? Less manpower, hell of a lot less wealth creation.
5) Not sure what im meant to infer from this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones
6) Sorry but Alec Jones has made quite a tidy living out of cherry picking evidence to build grand narratives of evil conspiracies, I don't consider him credible.

I recall seeing a thorough debunking of this FEMA camp nonsense years ago, which included, iirc, people going to the effort of contacting business in the vicinity of said "camps" to confirm. It's a bunch of bullshit.

I posted the Popular Mechanics article because it was quick and concise, but if someone were really interested in this topic (meow) they should take some effort trying to debunk their own info to see if it can stand up to the smell test. If you do this in a honest manner, it's going to stink to high heaven. It is known.

Anyway, have fun and say hi to Robodoon if you run into him on the net.

I think conspiracy theories are the manifestation of the anxiety people feel because they innately understand how impossible it is for a nation of 300 million (or whatever the pop of your country is) to give a shit about people on an individual level. This causes social alienation, which in turn creates anxiety. Many folks have difficult resolving the anxiety because they are alienated so it is a viscous circle of unresolved anxiety that must find an outlet. In comes the conspiracy theory, which is basically a way to reach out socially for isolated and alienated individuals.

Look at the narrative, it's always a faceless governmental entity that kills a large amount of the population. So many people that the chances of YOU escaping are zero. Therefore we should stick together.

This scenario is specifically designed to provoke the same anxiety in the minds of the people they share their theories with.

Ok I looked into these guide-stones. IF this was the super secret plan, why carve it on a rock and put it in a field in Georgia?

IF I had a super secret plan to control the world, I wouldn't carve it in stone and leave said stone lying around for everyone to see. Kinda defeats the purpose.
