Interesting take on conspiracy theories, bagster.

Here's how I decided not to listen to the term "conspiracy theory" anymore.

Remember Monica Lewinsky?

When Hillary was first confronted by the MSM about Monica, Hillary went off on a rant about a "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" against herself and Bubba.

This told me two things:

1) Hillary was a bald-faced liar. And a nutcase.

A woman confronted with evidence of her husband cheating doesn't break out into a prepared speech about conspiracy theories. She grabs a rolling pin or a meat cleaver.

But also, since I saw how ineffectual the GOP had been (even back then, how Bush '41 said "Read my lips no new taxes" then caved; then declined to run against Clinton, saying "...wouldn't be...prudent"...I *knew* there couldn't be any vast right-wing conspiracy.

2) And then, with that knowledge, that very phrase "RIGHT-wing"...it hit me like a ton of bricks.

Liberals ALWAYS accuse you of what their side is doing.

THERE MUST REALLY *BE* A VAST LEFT-WING CONSPIRACY!

Now, the objection to THAT, is, it's absurd, it would have leaked by now. Because people take their ideas of a conspiracy from something out of a Sherlock Holmes novel, or a James Bond movie: a group of 20-or-so people each known by a code number, around a large conference table, with a Dear Leader calling on them one at a time as they infallibly foment and carry out Evil Grand Designs^TM.

Well, no, not really. What happens is that not all of the plots are drawn out in detail in advance. Rather, a directive is given, and a couple of *strategies* formulated, with considerable leeway as to time, flexibility, and implementation. (E.g. take down the Catholic Church by attacking it from without, and seeding liberals and homosexuals into the hierarchy: they'll take it from there.)

And all it takes is one or two people in key pressure points in an organization, to cause all kinds of mischief: making exceptions for DOZENS of troublemakers who otherwise would be called to account and stopped.

So the thing is, the left is constantly launching little *probing* attacks: some are stopped, some backfire, some fizzle: and the ones which look promising are expanded, given more funding, and promoted on TV and other media (see Limbaugh's "journalistic fronts"). This gives the impression of a relentless juggernaut, since only the successes are announced: the minor failures are never seen or heard by most people...

Q is simply about 7 military intelligence folks, plus a few civilians, under President Trump, using the left's own tactics (with a little help from the NSA to supply information about their foes in real time...
