People used to post lots of Trump worship like Trump's head on WWE and Bollywood clips, but now it's all this dreary OMB content. Boo.

What are we, nearly four years in now? And here you are still trying to will that Russian collusion fairy tale into existence.

It won't be me if/when it happens. It will be FOIA'd or subpoenaed documents and testimony. That's how these deals go.

I think the information technology age is exposing a lot of things that were previously much easier to hide.

Not just Hollywood, but the world's political leaders, and the media.

Except Donald Trump - he's leading a team of super-spies to shut all this down. And doing it secretly, of course.


His work on international sex trafficking and pedos is one of the most successful things Trump has done. It was the first thing he did when he got into office.

My favorite conspiracy theory that is proven daily is that every democrat and left leftist are pure evil and mentally ill - this is a scientific fact.

This country got worse when we stopped lock-ing them up in mental institutions

This is good fodder for good CT epistemic practice. If the Dems and the courts can't substantiate it in the Biden administration we should all reduce our likelihood that conspiracies occurred.

Same goes for Spygate, Qanon, etc. If time doesn't bear them out, you should toss them, unless of course, we're talking about phenomena that are more like religious subcultures than simple beliefs (which of course we are with Qanon - it would have a crisis with Trump leaving office, but doomsday cults survive the end of the world not coming. The ideology adapts).

Donald Trump Jr released communications showing that he coordinated meetings with Russian connections to improve his chances in the election. You can stretch the semantics however you want, but the connection and the intent are undeniable.

This douchebag probably screamed whistleblower when referring to Eric C but when talking about the ultimate whistleblower (Assange and Wikileaks), they're Russian agents. My god you are a lemming.

One question. Why does the govt release classified documents decades after an event if at all? Why so much secrecy? National security?

Some believe they wait until society has been conditioned enough not to get outraged.

Why don’t people ever lead off with the Russia garbage when they start wailing about conspiracy theories?

Because the Russia garbage (and it was garbage) which was in the news daily is a lot more believable than Hollywood elites being satanic cannibal pedos.

It insulates the politicians who are ultimately responsible for it from political accountability.

Like the truth about how the president had actionable intelligence that Pearl Harbor was about to be attacked and even congregated all the ships (despite warnings from the commander there) on the west side of the harbor to encourage the Japanese. They then put all the blame on that commander when they wanted an attack to get support to enter the war. This is all out in the open now.

Same thing happened with stocking up the Lusitania with war ammunition. They were hoping for an attack by the Germans and got it. Or the fact that we ignored like 12 countries that had actionable intelligence before 9/11 that an attack by air was imminent, yet all of our jets were on training missions (and our intelligence was better than anybody). The jets got to Payne Stewart's plane in about 5 minutes when it drifted off course. Good thing they got rid of all the evidence quickly and had a sham investigation. Maybe the lies about Saddam's WOMD, or the fact that they completely made up the Gulf of Tonkin to enter the Vietnam War. Blowing up the Maine to have reason to go after the Spanish all for the sugar cash crop.

So JE wasn't running a pedo honey trap?
They didn't spy on Trump like Trump said?
Antifa isn't an organized movement with pallets of bricks being dropped off for riots?
Twitter facebook and google aren't censoring conservatives?

I guess a conspiracy is wrong until it isn't.

Operation Mockingbird is still happening and it couldn't be more transparent. It's just being done by big players in the democratic party who have major ties to the 6 people who own all of it now.
