Conspiracy

Starting in about 2006, I went deep into conspiracy theories. I have always loved history, and anyone who is a student knows that kingdoms rise and fall at the hands of conspiracies. 

I had watched 9/11 happen in front of my eyes, and felt as though something was off about that whole horrible event. I still do. The rabbit hole started with Noam Chompsky and took me to the films Zeitgeist and Aaron Russo’s Freedom to Fascism. I turned inward, and went rogue. I got rid of my bank accounts, tried to live off pure cash, tried to move about the world without my driver’s license, registration, and insurance. And, I kept consuming this alternative media.

I watched every video David Ike ever produced up until about 2015. I consumed all the videos produced by Regina Meredith on her first media site(I even got to know her a bit while she was in Sac getting ready to launch Gaia TV!). Coast to Coast with George Noory was my metaphorical weighted blanky. I was anti-vax, anti-vote, anti-bank, anti-surveillance state. I listened to Freeman Fly religiously, befriended his ex-girlfriend, and fellow fringe leaders of obscure message boards—mostly for the UFO camaraderie.

I believed that there was some well-planned, malicious conspiracy behind everything.

Then, pizzagate happened.

I still remember when the Franklin child prostitution ring scandal emerged for the Republican party in the 80s, so it was not far-off to believe that it was still happening. There is a ton of actual evidence for similar scandals. But, I have always needed at least a scrap of reliable data to believe any of this shit. Not just one person’s anecdotal account. So, I read the supposedly condemning emails myself.

Did I mention that I also worked in food service in Sacramento, as well? 

As far as I could see, they were just regular old catering emails from a group of government employees with deep pockets to a savvy restaurant manager who knew how to capitalize on those pockets.

When later I checked in with some of these guys(because it is mostly all guys who run these message boards) about where they got their “code” from for interpreting those emails, and how they vetted their sources, they came up short.

Since then, I have watched my friends who once mocked my conspiratorial opinions become enamored of these old memes. I have watched these same fools who once taught about what these “oppressors” or “overlords” or “elitists” or “illuminati” were doing to humanity, and how they were doing it, fall right into the very same traps they were teaching simply because they bought the bullshit; because they didn’t like the party or the name, they disregarded their decades worth of investigation. They did not vet their sources. They drank their own Kool-aid.

By now, we know that Q-anon was a South African software developer and an Arizona man who were likely employed by Russian agents to create dissension within the country. It was so successful that these message board leaders, so well versed in the black magic being used, fell for the very same devices they were warning all of us about.

Now, I must sit back and watch the people I love, some of the same folks who chided me for what I was falling for originally, get swept up in the same bullshit I was able to finally break free from. Now, I feel like Cassandra walking through the world.

My thoughts and opinions on many of these subjects have changed significantly since then, because I have continued to do my research. Not just looking into places that support my already formed opinions, but through sources and sites with real evidence and real data that has sometimes been humbling and hard to swallow. I have continued to do my research, and continued to update my opinions, even when it has been uncomfortable to do so.

Evidence matters folks. Truth matters. And, while some conspiracies might very well be true, the impetus behind them might not be what you think. Sometimes—most times—people are just greedy and self-serving. It’s no more nefarious than that. It doesn’t have to be. That is, in itself, evil enough.

So, what were these groups mostly afraid of? Satanism and child trafficking, first and foremost. The obsession with Satanism is just bonkers overwhelming. That, in my opinion, is one of the ways that this was leveraged to manipulate this population. The Christian fear of “Satan” has long been a powerful way to get followers to inflict harm on their neighbors, and to manipulate the follower’s action. I can think of not many people in positions of leadership who would embody more of a Satanic ideal than DJT. Especially as he espouses his love for the Chirstian god. 

And, child trafficking. Is there anything a mother wouldn’t do for the safety and protection of her kids? Not really. However, the only real evidence of child trafficking I have ever seen has been at the hand of those who would whip up the most fervor. Conservative Republicans and The Church. We now have an elected pedophile, congratulations.

What else? There had been a huge fear of the government rounding up citizens and forcing them into internment camps. There was acknowledgement of the camps that were already erected from the Japanese internment still being viable for use, as well as Walmarts in the Southwest training for such events within the past ten years. Remember that? I do. And, guess who is using them now? The man you voted for.

How about that thing with the “Black Pope”? What was it? Oh yeah. We go into stable economies, create dissension from within. Crumble the infrastructure. Then, build back a society in the Jesuit image. That doesn’t just have to be a strategy for Catholics anymore!

There was always talk of the Black Magic being used. One of the highlights for that was gaining the mass’s consent. “They” would spell out for you what they were going to do through movies, television, and just plain rhetoric, and in doing so, we the Plebes would give our consent willingly. Well, I can see no clearer case than the one we are living through currently.

The end of fiat currency, and the Trans-Human agenda. Who just supported the T-ster with billions? Elon f-ing Musk. A primary part of that man’s agenda is to collapse the dollar and implement a global, cashless society based on crypto currency, and also he is the leader in trans-humanistic implants. The creator of cyborgs.

Lastly, the Hegelian Dialectic. Or, Problem, Reaction, Solution. These message boards have been so up in arms over this realization that they were easily duped into falling for it from their now elected leader. This is the exact tactic used to persuade the vote for oligarchy. 

Congratulations. All the things you were afraid were going to happen, happened. Just exactly the way you shared that they would. But, since there was a name and party attached that you liked, you fell for it, hook line and sinker. Good job.
