What about Jeffrey Epstein? When I heard about that on Free Republic in 2006 or before, it sounded to unbelievable.

I'm a conspiracy Theoremist. The conspiracy has been proven with Euclidean rigor.

a shocking number of crazy-sounding right-wing conspiracy theories have, recently, turned out to be true:

Like every deranged sounding word and sentence that came out of Alex Jones's mouth.

And while Monday morning quarterbacking on covid often goes too far

I think the author needs to cite time and palce and justify the assertion with facts, because the whole subject is so fraud riddled that I don't think there is anything to save.

I just put “QED” after I write anything, and it’s true.

QED..

Any government representative attending this should be arrested for treason right after their plane lands.

“I have never seen that movie...”

It really is a classic and one of those rare films that’s enjoyable for all ages. Yes, it’s from Rob Reiner, but in some miraculous way even that boob didn’t ruin it.

Right wing conspiracies - true

Left wing conspiracies - false

The truth only comes out after it’s too late.

The media is the problem. They’ve been bought and paid for by their fellow criminals in Washington.

Saw a meme the other day…..

Picture of JFK riding through Dallas

The caption was something to the effect of: when you realize that the worlds first conspiracy theory turns out to be true.
