Sounds like what the FBI has been doing for nearly 20 years now and this board supported when those arrested were brown Muslims


You think maybe that’s because people have more evidence now that the FBI is corrupt where 20 years ago they didn’t?

The government went on a fearmongering campaign post 911 to convince Americans that the Muslim boogeyman was out to get us.

You're overthinking the issue.

Bad people doing bad things will tell you you're crazy if you believe they're doing bad things. YOU are the crazy one, not them.

It's called gaslighting.

1. Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO

Irrelevant. Some portion of the reasoning is NATO. This isn't a conspiracy theory, it's just theory.
quote:

2. Leftists rape or murder babies in blood sacrifices to join the elite

They certainly pantomime this. Both the Grove and Epstein island's "plays" mimic the sacrifice of children to throw care to the winds and indulge.
quote:

3. FTX funneled US aid to pols via Ukraine

This is certainly true. Whether plotted out or not is irrelevant, even though the SEC head did plot it out in 08...
quote:

4. The WEF has any tactile control over Western governments

If you don't think Trudeau and that broad in New Zealand act out many of the tenets of WEF, idk what to tell you. They have pro suicide commercials in Canada.
quote:

5. There is a coordinated effort by Leftists groups to flood the west with non-white people

There's a coordinated effort by leftists to flood the US with foreign illegals...they've said as much. The "non-white" branding is just to drag the periphery, then brand them as racists. Messaging control, misdefining, recording, they thrive on it...the twatter files add more proof to that.

Yes, that’s a great strategy, let’s totally ignore the fact that they are attempting to assert influence because they don’t currently have a 100% influence.

You mean like the conspiracy theory that the government has our best interests at heart?

That is the biggest conspiracy of all.

Fair enough. Part of me likes taking the "would-be" people out, but part of me wonders if they really would have.

LEO enticing people to act in a criminal way so they can arrest them for that specific act should be considered entrapment and ruled illegal.

Pedos,domestic terrorists, drug users, Islamic terrorists, or Jan 6 protesters make not difference to me

He's got this retarded "him vs the board" narrative going that is hilarious, to be honest.

At least he's exposing his true ideology. He's dishonest, but lets it slip.

I'll give you 5 biggies that aren't directly NWO-related

1. Russia invaded Ukraine because of NATO
2. Leftists rape or murder babies in blood sacrifices to join the elite
3. FTX funneled US aid to pols via Ukraine
4. The WEF has any tactile control over Western governments
5. There is a coordinated effort by Leftists groups to flood the west with non-white people


Excellent list, although I'd quibble slightly and argue that the Cabal in theory #2 is pretty much NWO. The COVID family of CT's ("lab leak", "bioweapon", and "5G" varieties in decreasing order of plausibility and +/- Fauci involvement) would make my top 5.

Another idea that hasn't really been discussed yet in this thread.

Convictions about pseudo-scientific ideas have a natural link to CT's. If you're committed to ideas like flat-earth or young-earth creationism, you have a lot of work to do to justify to yourself/others how it's true given satellite photos & the fossil record and myriad other scientific evidence suggesting better theories and in the face of mounting evidence, you ultimately you generally have to resort to massive CT's alleging all seemingly overwhelming scientific evidence against your theory is manufactured.

Your bullet-points (more or less):

"...Gossip...

....Hav[ing] a piece of inside information that most people don't have....

"...Filling that void for a sense of community....

"...Desire to be part of a larger group and a larger cause."

".... People who are on the paranoid schizophrenic spectrum are way more likely to be into conspiracy theories."


Here is a brief psych-analysis of your litany of (ironic) conspiracy theories (which ironically profile "conspiracy theorists". Frankly, they all point to your own various fears and insecurities. (Google NOT consulted)
