It is fascinating how the meaning of the phrase “conspiracy theory” changes depending on who is using it. Or more specifically, it depends on how Democrats are using it to advance their political goals.
For years, if not decades, some Americans were noticing behind-the-scene, well-concerted efforts to impose on our country a form of semi-totalitarian regime, not unlike the one that collapsed in the Soviet Union three decades ago. However, anyone who pointed to facts that supported claims of coordinated attempts to reduce the governments’ accountability to the American people, restrict individual liberties, expand governmental powers, and strengthen federal law-enforcement agencies was promptly branded as a “conspiracy theorist” (think of the character Mel Gibson played in Conspiracy Theory) who might belong in a mental hospital and certainly shouldn’t be taken seriously.
There were no conspiracies in America, we were told, and anyone who suggested that there were such conspiracies was insane, evil, or both.
That “mainstream” rhetoric changed a bit in 1998 when Ms. Hillary Clinton, defending Bill against charges of sexual misconduct with Monica Lewinsky, claimed he was the victim of a “vast right-wing conspiracy.” No one in the “mainstream” called her a “conspiracy theorist,” never mind asking for factual proof of her claim. Nineteen years later, when we were suddenly told that President Donald Trump “colluded with Russia” (another name for conspiring with Russia), despite (as we learned later) zero credible evidence supporting them, no “mainstream” narrator referred to House impeachment managers and their Congressional supporters as crazy “conspiracy theorists.”
But the progressive “mainstream” did not permanently abandon—at least, not permanently so—its disdain for “conspiracy theories.”

Very well-concerted... the FED was part of this, enslaving Americans with what seems like wealth, built on a mountain of debt.
Diff between conspiracy and not-a-conspiracy used to be measured in years. This timeframe is shrinking rapidly.
From the FF of 9/11, with building 7, the gold, missing $2.3T, etc. To, 110 years ago, the sinking of the "Titanic", and the main opponents to creation of the FED.
Conspiracies seem to be crashing... with exposure and awakening.
Dark to Light.
The FBI, with the permission of the obama regime, knowingly used false information to obtain FISA warrants on the prez candidate of the opposing party.
If they can do it to the prez, they can do it to you.
And indeed they have, when the FBI was enlisted to treat parents complaining about CRT as terrorists by having the NRB draft a fake complaint about the parents.
Yes enlisted by the communist education secretary,Cordona,the jerk from Connecticut

When is a conspiracy theory not a conspiracy theory?

Well said!!!
FYI: The STASI on Facebook have no sense of humor. I posted the chart and they “restricted” my account. “While we believe in freedom of speech, your Facebook post goes against community standards.”
ROTFL!!
What a farce. To make it worse, I also posted something offensive eight months ago! My bad!
The restriction is as follows: No posting for 24 hours. No posting to groups for two days. All posts will be lower in my newsfeed for 90 days.
They are so afraid of the truth!
‘Face
;o])
To: null and voidNothing stings a liberal quite as badly as THE TRUTH!I just got fakebook blocked for 24 hours for posting the “Conspiracy last year, True this year” chart.
The post was red-flagged WITHIN 15 SECONDS!

You are so right on that, Nully! Some things, they’ve let go, but then, two months later, they’ll send me a notice saying it has been blocked but I can argue about it. (”Defend my position.”) This one was so ridiculous I figured I’d let them win this round, but I may just join as “someone else.”
I may get tired of it, but for now, I like to see them squirm when the truth gets under their skin. The words I want to use for them are fitting, indeed, but as my late mother would have said, it’s probably something I’d have in my mouth that she wouldn’t even hold in her hand.
It’s their go to claim. I remember Hillary throwing out the VAST right wing conspiracy theory about Bill
I got a “We were mistaken” message 30 hours later LOL
Yeah, I got one of those too, but it took them over two months. And yet, it’s that “mistaken” post that they’ve listed as my “second” one. Looks like the Left hand doesn’t know what the Other Left hand is doing.
So I’m thinking of flying in under another name, one that hasn’t been seen on Facebook, yet. It just depends on whether they think I’m a threat. BWAHAHAHAHA! Their biggest threat is their own idiocy!
Facebook is training people not to say anything that is not liberal approved. Like training a dog with a shock collar “Don’t go beyond this point or something unpleasant will happen” Aversion conditioning, and IT IS WORKING! A lot of the Facebook Acolytes I know are self censoring conservative speech to stay out of Facebook jail, it’s like making little Johnny stand in the corner when he misbehaves.
Thanks, nully
