What a surprise that Shapiro is pushing the establishment line.

There’s a world of difference between “The Reptilians are hiding the fact that the Earth is flat” and “Epstein’s death sure is awfully convenient for some of the most powerful in the world who just happen to have the connections to kill someone and cover it up”.

Conspiracies are in truth common. To conspire means “to breathe together”: to share the same views and goals.

Every whispering jock-and-cheerleader clique intended to exclude the uncool is a conspiracy. Every after-hours office chat designed to give the participants the leg up on their fellow employees is a conspiracy. Every closed-door backroom deal that takes place in Congress is a conspiracy.

Every. One.

Most conspiracies are mundane, banal. Most are legal, and even harmless. Some, however, are potent, and even lethal.

The Powers That Be conspire all the time. That is why they do not want us to believe that conspiracies are real.

The leftist apparatchiks that fill our centralized bureaucracies breathe the same fetid air; they do not even have to specifically plot together to enact many of the same plans.

You could have asked Julius Caesar on 16 March 44 B.C. if conspiracies are real. Oh, wait, he would not have been available for comment.
