Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

The US actually makes terrorists, and by extension refugees. If 9/11 wasn't directly an inside job they probably let it happen or created the motive for the people involved.

Australia found an SAS soldier guilty of war crimes and were on video perpetuating a really nasty culture that almost certainly creates martyrs and needlessly extended our time in Afghanistan.

That trump is carefully placed and chosen distraction. He was allowed to run as republican so that they could use him as a screen to hide their real plans.

I can't honestly say I really believe it, not when the rest of it is thrown in, but that part I kinda, sorta think has merit.

The rest of the crazy is that he's not only a plant, but that the ties to Russia, the convenient invasion of Ukraine, and the sudden leap to the proxy war going on their now (rather than when Russia first started fucking around there years ago) is all part of a plan by the military industrial complex to rise to cold war era riches again, with a long laundry list of companies like Halliburton.

This is not a conspiracy theory I've seen on the internet (not yet anyway). It's one I've heard floating around at the shooting range I use that's lgbtq+ friendly. Which only matters because that's why I never expected to hear a conspiracy theory there of all places. I mean, a shooting range that's almost exclusively used by people a bit further left than Bernie Sanders and the local pink pistols group, and a local lgbtq+ shooting group unaffiliated with the pink pistols.

Like, people don't even discuss politics other than gun politics there usually. But the last three or four times I've been this year, there's a little clique that's been talking about it. I know them, and the is the first I've ever heard them get into this kind of thinking.

But that's the least bullshit "conspiracy" that I've heard that wasn't more of just a secret. Like, mk ultra shit where it isn't really a conspiracy, it was classified, and there's a difference between them.
