I’m Trevor!!!
I’ve been having this conversation with some likeminded coworkers. At what point does conspiracy theory become theory?
More and more conspiracy theories are proving to be just conspiracies.
I remember NPR breathlessly spreading conspiracy theories about who was going to be arrested during to Iran-Contra. When Bill and Monica started to leak out, they refused to cover it as it was a “right wing conspiracy”. When the truth came out, they refused because it was “salacious”. When Bill was impeached, it was only over “oral sex”.
The time between a conspiracy theory and it coming TRUE is about 1-2 months these days!
AM I the only one who remembers that there was a SECOND “warren commission” that looked into the JFK assassination and came to the conclusion that there was probably more than one shooter?

I think the govt is too disfunctional and inept to really carry out most of the conspiracy theories people think they do, and things are a lot more simple than people think not all dark and nefarious/complex
Conspiracy theories are a way for people to deflect inconvenient truths that challenge their worldview, to create an alternative reality to make them comfortable. It also makes powerless people feel empowered, like they are in on “secret” knowledge about “what’s really going on”. They also make up conspiracies when they aren’t even needed
Last thing, I think the conspiracy theories themselves are a conspiracy. It’s a way of leaking false information to the gullible public under the guise of it being non-mainstream. It gets people to vote against their own best interest and to ignore the blatantly obvious truth of a situation. The nazis used conspiracy theories in this way that are extremely similar to ones today
This article poses some excellent questions!
Consider the following questions:
Is it really more plausible that the media are acting separately but identically or that they are colluding among themselves and with the Democrats and the Deep State? That their simultaneous and identical takes on everything are just due to similar viewpoints and not highly coordinated messages of the day?
Is it possible that the media have maintained and expanded their editorial bias over time without firm top-directed orders? Or would an uncontrolled system be expected to act like a pendulum, swinging back and forth?
Is it really plausible that the left/globalists capture organizations and institutions at will without a master plan and an extensive system of carrots and sticks? It just happens. Or is it more likely that there is a central authority choreographing it all and compelling submission?
Was it ever more plausible that the virus came about accidentally from a wet market with no evidence that such action could occur, when right down the street was a lab where we know that such viruses were studied?
Is it really plausible that nations around the world keep ratcheting up the tyranny as they independently determine it to be the best course of action? Or does it seem much more likely that each is part of a larger plan, sequenced for maximum effect?
Is it really more plausible that the American people never get what they want from their leaders because they are bad at picking them or that there really is no choice because elections are compromised and much of the nation’s leadership is either corrupt or being blackmailed and threatened?
Is it really probable that significant numbers of leaders take positions on issues they know are unpopular with their own constituents due to conviction and principles, however flawed? Or is it at least as likely that they are told to do so and know that that they will be taken care of if they lose their positions? Why is it that on the important issues, especially immigration, the path of least resistance for the politicians is always to betray the people?
Does anyone believe that five states independently and without consultation decided to stop counting votes at about the same time on election night?
Is it really plausible that bad people are always more clever and harder-working than the rest or that they often get promoted and taken care of in their field by unseen power brokers?
Is it really plausible that the vast majority of national elected officials, including the least impressive, have built great personal wealth during public service without extensive help and a rigged system? Or is it more likely that they have certain privileges now that they are part of the club?
Is it really possible that an adversarial movement would maintain almost flawless unanimity and discipline — guided only by common goals? Not even small differences on goals? No disagreement on methods? No visible internecine conflict and only the rarest public personality clashes? Or is it more likely that the rigid purpose and execution are maintained through extensive bribery and, when necessary, highly organized fear and punishment?
The point is that huge conspiracy is not just being further supported by recent revelations; it is becoming the only reasonable explanation for the milieu in which we find ourselves.
If you think about it, our entire government is based on conspiracy. We often hear about “compromises” being hammered out in the halls of Congress and the Senate, but aren’t these nothing more than conspiracies? Votes are traded. Clauses, ammendments and add-ons to bills are bargaining chips that politicians swap - all behind closed doors - to gain leverage on colleagues either within their own party or the opposition. Even when we get to the final bill, no Congressman or Senator knows what’s in it or has even read the whole thing. It’s the aides, the staff who have assembled whatever they have agreed on with the lobyists in exchange for campaign contributions.
Conspiracy is how the sausage is made.
Sometimes. But not usually. And not any massive conspiracies. Really how many thousands of people would it take? And not a single one of them got an attack of morals OR greed! Nope.
