Conspiracy Theories do Happen and Skepticism isn’t Evil

Conspiracies happen, some conspiracy theories are true, some are feasible, some are completely absurd.

Which do you find feasible - let’s gather here and exercise some healthy skepticism of authority.

Examples of true ‘conspiracy theories’:

  • Jeffrey Epstein farmed underage kids out to the rich and powerful for years and mostly escaped prosecution; ABC is on tape saying the royal family made them bury story

  • The CIA funded secret foreign wars by coordinating the import and sale of drugs in the US

  • The CIA tested LSD on unwitting innocent American citizens through universities. Such experiments drove Harvard student Ted Kaczincki to go crazy and become the unabomber

  • Operation Car Wash - Brazilian construction contractors formed a bid rigging cartel and funded political leaders’ campaigns across Latin America through kickbacks and shell company networks

  • the NSA engaged in bulk surveillance of US citizens and lied about it to congress

  • the CIA hacked into congressional members computers while under scrutiny for engaging in torture

Examples of shadow-groups controlling governments:

Examples of elite pedophile rings:

No the earth isn’t flat and the vaccine isn’t a microchip. Because some conspiracy theories are stupid or does not mean it’s a bad thing to question popular narratives broadly.

Also, if simply reading this prompt has your heart beating faster in anger and contempt, please consider why that’s your reaction.

All of 2020 looks really fishy to me. We started out with a "once in a century" pandemic, race riots, social upheaval that resulted in billions of dollars being donated to "racial justice" groups like BLM, who most likely sent a substantial portion of their money to Democratic campaigns via ActBlue (why else would they not be transparent about where their money is going?), and millions of mail-in ballots sent out without the traditional verification process. It is obviously impossible that all of this was planned out, but I'm very suspicious that some people took advantage of these extraordinary circumstances to push their agenda.

I'd like to know where the fuck BLM sent all their money and why my state informed me after the election that my mail-in vote for Trump was denied. How many other ballots were rejected? How many people who voted multiple times are we not aware of? How many people voted on others' behalf after mistakenly receiving their ballot? And how many people received a ballot for multiple states because they moved residences due to COVID? How the fuck can we verify all of this for millions of people within a few weeks? I know it seems I am trying to make a statement, but these are sincere questions I have.

 

I thought I was the only one to hold this view given how people react whenever you even remotely allude to it. Completely agree. 

 

Well if so, I vote former Blink 182 frontman Tom Delonge as embassador for earth.
 

According to his newly formed company’s SEC filings (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1710274/000114420417043466/v473…) the aerospace segment engaged in modest endeavors such as:


·Engineering the space-time metric. This technology is in the very early stages, and success depends on a yet to be defined breakthrough in propulsion to enable traveling to the stars at near light speed.

·Telepathy. Research into telepathy may require scientific testing on persons...”

But before you line up to throw money at the revolutionary innovations led by the man who authored such modern artistic masterpieces as “I Wanna F*ck a Dog in the A**”, you should also know, it won’t come cheap! From the Risks section:

“These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·This is essentially a brand-new company.

·As a public benefit corporation, our decision-making includes more than profitability.

·The offering price has been arbitrarily set by the company and the valuation is high.” <- don’t worry Tom, it ain’t just you

 

30 years later, I'm sure we're gonna find out that Russia and China were responsible for inciting or at least being partly responsible (pouring gasoline on fire kinda way) for all the far-left and far-right riots, protest, and incidents that happened during the last couple years.

After all, people have been doing covert shit like that since the beginning of civilization.

 

Voluptas dolorem impedit vel non. Illum deleniti pariatur sapiente sed nisi. Officia qui et quasi suscipit qui officia suscipit. Dolorem et et beatae. Ex sunt quasi autem ea ipsam ut est. Omnis cupiditate sunt neque inventore dicta dolore itaque.

Dignissimos nam cupiditate delectus iure quaerat dolor. Eum iure ut voluptas officiis velit commodi at.
