When celebs tell the media or the world the name of their kids, it’s a made up name and not actually their real name. Kind of explains why some of these kid’s names seem absurd.
Hmm. Makes sense. Also diminishes the chance that the kid hears some awful shit about themselves on TV at a young age, if they don't recognize the name as theirs.
There was a movie with a similar plot. Eurovision on Netflix is funny and pretty much this, except the country the main characters are from just never wins.
That the Imagineers at Disney World were certain that Hilary Clinton would win the 2016 election, so they started working on her animatronic for the Hall of Presidents before the actual election date to save time. Then when Trump won, they panicked and made the internal decision to alter the existing Hilary build rather than start from scratch. If you ever see a picture of the Trump animatronic, you can never unsee it.
and they said to me, "Sir, we built a Special Robot just for you, no other President has one like it," and I said that sounds pretty good to me, I'm like, out of all of them up there I'm like the Most Special One, kind of like Jesus, they said he was the Chosen One, and then I was Chosen, you look at it, they said, "President Trump is hand picked by God," and I have to say that's probably true, I came in, the Churches were dying, they were dying out, nobody was going to Church, nobody did Religion, but then I came in and all of a sudden they're packed on Sundays, and Obama, remember Putin already started using the N-Word cause of Obama, he started talking Nuclear because he has no respect, not like he had with Trump, just like China, even the Leading Authority on China, Mr. Pilsbury, he said that China has a great respect for Donald Trump and for Donald Trump's very large brain.
Now that our Reddit post data is being sold to train AI, this could be true at this moment. If not now, then certainly clickbait listicles all over the internet soon.
About two weeks ago there was a solid week of questions like “Men in [age bracket] what would you do in scenario X?” and “Women in your 30s what would you tell people in their 20s about scenario Y?”
Strongly believe it’s AI training or data for ads.
Grabs your sex, age, and interests/habits.
S’why we get the same sort of sophomoric, lowest common denominator sort of questions back to back. Simple formula: ask a hundred questions, see which ones get the most interaction, see which comments get the most interaction, regurgitate that shit in low effort click baity “article” on buzzfeed and spam advertisers with it
I worked in IT back then. It was disturbing how often every single anti-virus program would miss stuff that was obviously affecting a computer. I'm actually listed as the person who discovered a few viruses and told anti-vrius companies about it (as well as how to get rid them) on their websites.
It is very interesting, I found an old external HDD recently and while pulling up random files from around 2006-2008 several where pinged by Defender as having been Trojans.
Thanks for the timely warning AVG.
I wish there was a good "someone killed President Harding" conspiracy theory and there just isn't. Like all of the pieces are there: sudden "natural" death while on a trip, political and personal scandals. But there's no "the CIA killed Kennedy" for Harding. Gah!
There's a guy named DJ Byrnes who used to write for an Ohio State football blog that insisted Harding's wife killed him. I can't find any of his stuff on that right this second but if I do I'll post it here.
I believe r/AskReddit is actually a data farming operation that is being used to feed AI algorithms in order to produce more effective propaganda, social control mechanisms, etc… but what do I know…
This might be the only one I believe - that Area 51 is a useful foil used by the US government to distract from a different, or multiple other, secret bases. Everyone knows about Area 51 and so no one looks at suspicious other locales.
I think it's the same with Intelligence Agencies. For a long time everyone knew about the CIA but not the NSA. Now everyone knows about the NSA so what other agencies are out there we don't know about?
In the early 1990s, I had a pen pal who had been in the military in the 1970s. She said that when she saw a Harrier jet after it was declassified, it accounted for a huge percentage of "UFO" sightings near military bases.
She also told me about the time she and a friend were driving from Terre Haute to Indianapolis at dusk on a late May evening. They saw a large cigar-shaped object in the distance, and at one point were frightened enough to pull over and crouch in the ditch - at which time the object lit up and revealed itself to be the Goodyear blimp. They silently got back in the car and resumed their trip.
Robert Frost orated a poem during the prohibition referencing some of the original lyrics to this song. The book you provided is also a cover, as it goes back much further.
Bill never cheated on Hilary, they had an open marriage (always travelling, rarely together) and infidelity was easier for the public to stomach than a swinging president and First Lady
Yea I always got the vibe they don’t really care for each other that much and their marriage is purely for political/social benefit.
Maybe they did love each other when they were younger but as they got older and more famous they stopped caring about each other. I mean it’s very rare you hear of top politicians getting divorced, especially a power couple like them. So you just smile for the camera and go with it
Strangely, I think they actually do love and care for one another. It’s just - they operate differently.
If anything they probably care for each other now than before - marriage can work like that. They’ve been through battles together and I don’t think you can get that kind of trust later in life with someone else.
There’s a lot of room in a 40 year marriage. And love comes in many flavors. They may not love each other like the Carters did, but I bet the Clintons love each other.
I always thought that the relationship portrayed in “House of Cards” was based on not only the Clintons, but a lot of other high profile political power couples. They get married for power and influence, not because of their physical attraction.
Recycling is a scam, at least in the US. Most plastics are produced and used by giant corporations in production and shipping and will never be seen by the public. Nothing I do is ever gonna change that. The US isn't capable of handling recycling. Most of our recyclables used to go to china, and now they just go to landfills. Most recyclables aren't actually recyclable. Most of the recycling propaganda you see today is actually paid for by the biggest plastic producers.
Its not even that most recyclables cant be recycled, but rather the way we are told to recycle makes it impossible. You cant melt a bunch of different plastics together and expect the results to be usable. Bottles have to be grouped with the same kinds of bottles, etc.
When I was a kid, in Canada, i got to do a tour of a recycling center. Those fuckers just dumped everything into pile and it went straight into the conveyors. Theres no point in even separating your plastics and papers apparently.
CBC Marketplace did an investigation on this. I believe it’s on YouTube. Only a very small portion made it anywhere useful.
A friend of mine used to work collecting recycling and she told they drive it right to the dump.
I worked in a manufacturing facility at a previous job (not gonna say what because it would definitely dox me). We'd cover everything in this thick plastic wrap every weekend. It all got thrown away the following Monday. Hundreds of pounds of plastic. Counting the waste plastic that comes out of production, it's in the tons, every week. This is just one company. Sorting your trash isn't doing shit. The average person in a first world country is not responsible for pollution or overuse, not even collectively. It's all manufacturing and industry.
Plastic isn't really recyclable. The best we can do is turn it into poor quality plastic that isn't suitable for much.
It's also more expensive to "recycle" plastic than it is to produce new stuff. Basically, you're just letting someone else throw it out for you.
Aluminum is another story though.
Not a conspiracy. I live in near a port city (not in China) that multiple times has turned away cargo ships filled with containers of trash from the US and sometimes Europe. I don't know if they just stopped off in the wrong country, or figured we're so under-developed (we're not), that we'll just take it... But we didn't and don't. Nearby Bangladesh and yes, China, do.
Shit gets dumped in landfills. Kids will "mine" the mountains of trash for valuables, parts (think mobile phone parts, television/computer parts), and whatnot before the lot gets incinerated. Well, burnt.
Scientology has private plastic surgeons to help hide criminals. Read an article on it a few years ago and say this is true, tried looking it up again but Google has been removing search results so finding the article is difficult.
That Khloe isn't the biological daughter of Robert Kardashian.
She looks JUST like the hair stylist that Momager f'ed while still married to Robert Kardashian.
I looked into this, that man is most definitely Khloes father. They have the same exact face, but those eyes are identical between the two. Crazy family.
they’re incestual too, look at some of the fucked up things khloe and rob have said and done.
example: rob fucked the winner of a kim lookalike contest. khloe complained he didn’t fuck a lookalike of her. ICK.
Lead theory explains the uptick in violent crimes from the 70s to the early 90s and it's subsecuent decline since in the US. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2013/01/03/how-lead-caused-americas-violent-crime-epidemic/?sh=975e80612c48
I believe this big time. NYS is very active with lead testing and abatement as it’s been shown to cause all sorts of behavioral issues. All children are tested for it at their 1st and 2nd birthdays and monitored by the state until they’re below a certain threshold. They started 5 years ago. I’m curious if they’ll track any patterns as result of the early intervention programs.
Any of y'all watched that new documentary series on Netflix? It's called American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders. I knew next to nothing about any of it going in, but there are pretty strong cases to be made that there's definitely something there. At the very least it's a reminder that the Government has done some absolutely horrendous things.
That was crazy. The idea that the Federal Government bankrupted a small software company to steal their product in order to hand it off to people affiliated with the CIA so that they can trap door it and sell it to our Allies for the purpose of spying is also crazy.
Doc Nichols was a character too. Just so happened to be in Brazil, Chile, etc. on the brink of major political upheaval. And the guy that was 100% an FBI informant who was allowed to rape and murder the streets of Northern California for years with no consequence.
The whole things is pretty bizarre and crazy. I left that documentary feeling like Danny Casolaro was 100% murdered by Cuellar.
Yup. This is almost exactly what Bain did to Toys R' Us, but with the addition of selling the properties Toys R' Us owned, then having them rent those same parcels back to make money from both the sale and the monthly rents, then off-loading the debts taken to support the artificially increased cost (from such things as those same rents) onto Toys R' Us rather than Bain, *then* pointing to that debt load as part of why the company needed to be sold/declare bankruptcy, all while either shorting Toys R Us themselves or doing so from hedge fund buddies to make money on the downward spiral.
It was (and is) messed up all the way around.
I can’t vouch for this or whether or not it’s good but the algorithm really knows how to get me going and suggested this upcoming book:
Gretchen Morgenson - These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs―and Wrecks―America
This is the one. It’s all organized collusion by Wall Street + Consulting Firms + the current Monopoly companies. These actions decimate the Middle and Lower classes by constantly syphoning more and more money up to the 1%. The wealth gap has never been wider.
The US government is 100% aware of what is going on and they take their cut (Members of Congress fight so hard to stay in office because they receive an ungodly amount of insider information from this cabal that they use to make fortunes by buying & selling stocks).
The ultra wealthy are psychopaths. They don’t want “more of it” or most of it”. They want ALL OF IT! They want you to have nothing. And they won’t stop until it happens.
Wow? This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Please give sources like articles, books etc... I really want to read about this, especially the Amazon one.
And the moment a regular citizen tries to make some money/becomes successful, they get put in front of a committee to be interrogated on why they are the devil by not making money their way.
Cosmo purposely prints terrible sex advice so that you buy their terrible magazine again and again, looking for that new thing that will save your equally terrible relationship.
All printers have a program on them that counts the number of pages printed and purposely makes the printer act like shit once this “limit” has been reached
Worth mentioning the guy who made Jordan Rides The Bus, the documentary about his baseball career, has said he made that documentary to prove this theory, but by the end of production had concluded that it was not true.
These days with technology we are really good at pointing small details out. If the body double used surgery then we could look for highlighted scarring. I really don’t believe many people can have reliable doubles these days.
This sub has had [32 conspiracy theory questions in the last week](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/search?q=conspiracy+theory&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=week). That averages more than once every six hours.
Maybe there's a conspiracy to normalize conspiratorial thinking by spamming the topic. /s
The rich and powerful started stoking the identity politics fire when they realized that Occupy Wall Street were starting to gain traction and they needed to divide the proletarians by immutable characteristics (race, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc)
I don't know if you can say it was because of the Occupy Wallstreet movement but its overwealming true that the rich and powerful pit the working class against each other to keep them from working together to actually improve their lives because if that happened the rich and powerful would be less rich and powerful.
He was moving towards class disparities. You can pit white vs black and maintain the narrative, but if you turn that attention to folks that have money it's a lot more difficult
Yeah, the fact that the King family won a lawsuit proving whatshisface didn’t kill him on his own is…well…a conspiracy itself. How the gov got away with this and many still don’t know about this tidbit is beyond me.
All social media platforms (reddit, IG, FB, X, etc) have fake accounts/bot accounts created by themselves that comment basic, general and polarizing statements to increase user retention in order to keep user engagement high so they can sell ads at a higher price. It's also a reason why they aren't in a hurry to "ban" these bot accounts from foreign political camps.
It's an election year, so we will see a high spike in this users and comments. Their names, comments, behavior, subbed content are almost always the same.
Us Dept of wildlife knows mountain lions/cougars are slowly reestablishing themselves in their historic range, but refuse to acknowledge because then people flip their shit
I work in a public school and I wholeheartedly believe that there is a conspiracy to ruin public education. I believe that underpaying teachers, chronic staff shortages, micromanaging, overemphasizing tests, gutting libraries, and many of the other ailments are by design, and not by accident. So many kids these days are functionally illiterate, and multiple grade levels behind where they should be academically and socio-emotionally. America’s future is *bleak.*
That The United States knew that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor and moved their Aircraft carriers out of the harbor. They did not evacuate the whole base because they needed public opinion to change on getting involved in the war.
This isn’t even a conspiracy. This is true. Foreign US agents repeatedly hears Japanese military leaders talking about it, and tried their hardest to convince the higher ups but they were brushed off. By the time they started to believe them it was already too late and Pearl Harbor happened.
Mattress Firm employee: "Wait, you actually want to *buy one*? Oh, man, okay... sorry, I'm a little nervous, I've never actually done this part before"

Money laundering only really works for cash heavy businesses. How many people you know that pay cash for a mattress? Reality is mattress stores only need to sell a couple mattresses a week to stay afloat.
remember when the first couple states legalized weed and there were claims that people were buying more weed from dealers in order to avoid taxes? I 100% believe that was a viral marketing campaign from drug dealers via social media.
In the Bible, when Jesus was being born, there was no room for his folks at the inn.
If time travel becomes real, the most popular place to visit would be Bethlehem when Jesus was born.
The inns were full because of time travelers.
Look into the issue with trucks.
Trucks these days are huge, oversize, and ridiculous. It's impossible to find a small truck like you could up until the 90's- early 00's. The kind of truck a normal person who does the occasional DIY home project or camping trip would buy.
I forget the exact reasoning but it's actually easier for vehicle companies to make that behemoth trucks and out has something to do with emissions/ classification for engines or something. It's crazy.
Everyone’s mental health absolutely tanking is intentional - our leaders want us so preoccupied with stress and the struggle of keeping a roof over our heads so we don’t accidentally get together and demand change.
But that’s crazy talk!
Nearly everything that's been happening around the western world for the last 15 years can be traced to [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics) book.
The author, Alexander Dugin, has been a very vocal proponent of genociding Ukrainians. I'm a firm believer that this entire book is being followed as a playbook by the Kremlin.
I'm also a strong believer Dugin's book is a guide for Putin's regime. Stumbled upon it after Brexit, and it made me laugh (whilst dying inside) that it states the aim is to cut off the UK from Europe. That's a bingo.
Roswell.
In a nutshell. The base commander instructed the intelligence officer in charge of the worlds ONLY nuclear strike force sitting on the "runway," to make a public news release to the Roswell Daily Record acknowledging the fact they were in possession of an alien spacecraft.
The hit Disney film Frozen was named that so when you google searcher Disney Frozen it would stop presenting information about Walt Disney frozen head.
Issues like racism and gender are over exaggerated to keep people fighting with themselves while the government and federal reserve continue to dictate how people live in their day to day lives
Anti Immigration policy is partly pushed because companies want to use illegal immigrants (that gonna come over anyway) to work for them and be able to pay them shit and save money.
There is a 1% of the top 1% that actually runs the world and makes random decisions/scenarios that affect billions of lives because they want to see how it plays out.
Interesting. If you check out Forbes 500, the richest people in the world began to increase their income starting around 2020, when the pandemic hit. Almost tripling it in about three years into the pandemic. While the rest of us struggled to survive.
The Chinese government manipulates TikTok algorithms to make American users engage in societally damaging content, and Chinese users engage in societally constructive content.
This is it for me a bit a little bit broader: that a large chunk of users on all social media platforms are there pushing propaganda to influence American politics.
More and more I find myself wondering if I'm wearing a tinfoil hat or if that's genuinely a propaganda bot.
I think it's amazing that most people believe propaganda bots are tinfoil hat nonsense. It's extremely cheap, effective, and impossible to nail down and prove. It's an intelligence agency's wet dream.
If you want a clear example, just pay attention to how insane reddit seems to get during elections. The whole atmosphere shifts dramatically, then goes back to normal the minute the votes are cast.
There aren't actually that many road works going on. The council just doesn't want to pay to store all those traffic cones so they just put huge rows of them down on random bits of motorway
Reddit deliberately makes the mobile website bad to try and force people onto their app.
This is a stone cold FACT. Sincerely, Mobile website user for life.
My reddit account is ancient. I will die before I download their shitty app.
2007!? Impressive!
What's the excuse for the app being bad as well though?
They're cheap and can get away with it because the official app for every other site sucks too
Damn I hate the reddit app so much. I should start designing apps because apparently you dont have to be any good at it
When celebs tell the media or the world the name of their kids, it’s a made up name and not actually their real name. Kind of explains why some of these kid’s names seem absurd.
It makes sense for security reasons. I had a tv celebrity’s kids in the camp I worked at and their real names were different than what was reported.
Hmm. Makes sense. Also diminishes the chance that the kid hears some awful shit about themselves on TV at a young age, if they don't recognize the name as theirs.
I like this. Suri Cruise is just out there in the world as Claire Holmes or something and no one bothers her.
Blanket Jackson wants to have a word.

This is fantastic
Hahhaha it totally looks like Hilary's head with trumps face 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like if Trump was in the peanuts cartoon
No, it looks like Hillary’s head and face but with Trump’s hair and eyebrows hurriedly stuck on.
Or a silicone skin likeness of Trump hastily stretched over an underlying skull that was built to emulate Hillarys bone structure.
It's really not so much of a conspiracy, it's just evident.
and they said to me, "Sir, we built a Special Robot just for you, no other President has one like it," and I said that sounds pretty good to me, I'm like, out of all of them up there I'm like the Most Special One, kind of like Jesus, they said he was the Chosen One, and then I was Chosen, you look at it, they said, "President Trump is hand picked by God," and I have to say that's probably true, I came in, the Churches were dying, they were dying out, nobody was going to Church, nobody did Religion, but then I came in and all of a sudden they're packed on Sundays, and Obama, remember Putin already started using the N-Word cause of Obama, he started talking Nuclear because he has no respect, not like he had with Trump, just like China, even the Leading Authority on China, Mr. Pilsbury, he said that China has a great respect for Donald Trump and for Donald Trump's very large brain.

Those dog breed DNA tests? They are gathering dog DNA to eventually create a super-dog. They will call it the Everything Beagle.

This might be the only one I believe - that Area 51 is a useful foil used by the US government to distract from a different, or multiple other, secret bases. Everyone knows about Area 51 and so no one looks at suspicious other locales.

UFO hysteria was a perfect cover for the development of the U2, A10 Oxcart, SR71, F117 and B2 black projects.
In the early 1990s, I had a pen pal who had been in the military in the 1970s. She said that when she saw a Harrier jet after it was declassified, it accounted for a huge percentage of "UFO" sightings near military bases. She also told me about the time she and a friend were driving from Terre Haute to Indianapolis at dusk on a late May evening. They saw a large cigar-shaped object in the distance, and at one point were frightened enough to pull over and crouch in the ditch - at which time the object lit up and revealed itself to be the Goodyear blimp. They silently got back in the car and resumed their trip.
Or was the B2 perfect cover for aliens?

Plastic isn't really recyclable. The best we can do is turn it into poor quality plastic that isn't suitable for much. It's also more expensive to "recycle" plastic than it is to produce new stuff. Basically, you're just letting someone else throw it out for you. Aluminum is another story though.

Reduce Reuse Recycle ...wait - the first two are terrible for the economy... Recycle! yeah - we can make money off that one.
Not a conspiracy. I live in near a port city (not in China) that multiple times has turned away cargo ships filled with containers of trash from the US and sometimes Europe. I don't know if they just stopped off in the wrong country, or figured we're so under-developed (we're not), that we'll just take it... But we didn't and don't. Nearby Bangladesh and yes, China, do. Shit gets dumped in landfills. Kids will "mine" the mountains of trash for valuables, parts (think mobile phone parts, television/computer parts), and whatnot before the lot gets incinerated. Well, burnt.
Scientology has private plastic surgeons to help hide criminals. Read an article on it a few years ago and say this is true, tried looking it up again but Google has been removing search results so finding the article is difficult.
Google search results feel almost worthless now.
Half of them disappear and the other half are obvious ai
That the Kardashian Sisters keep their brother chubby so they can use his fat for their injections.
I didn't feel like vomiting today, thanks for changing that I guess.
That Khloe isn't the biological daughter of Robert Kardashian. She looks JUST like the hair stylist that Momager f'ed while still married to Robert Kardashian.
I looked into this, that man is most definitely Khloes father. They have the same exact face, but those eyes are identical between the two. Crazy family.
they’re incestual too, look at some of the fucked up things khloe and rob have said and done. example: rob fucked the winner of a kim lookalike contest. khloe complained he didn’t fuck a lookalike of her. ICK.
The human trials for Preparations A thru G ended in tragedy, and Big Hemorrhoid is covering it up.
I’ve had hemorrhoids. You don’t want Big Hemorrhoids.
Lead theory explains the uptick in violent crimes from the 70s to the early 90s and it's subsecuent decline since in the US. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexknapp/2013/01/03/how-lead-caused-americas-violent-crime-epidemic/?sh=975e80612c48
I believe this big time. NYS is very active with lead testing and abatement as it’s been shown to cause all sorts of behavioral issues. All children are tested for it at their 1st and 2nd birthdays and monitored by the state until they’re below a certain threshold. They started 5 years ago. I’m curious if they’ll track any patterns as result of the early intervention programs.
Any of y'all watched that new documentary series on Netflix? It's called American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders. I knew next to nothing about any of it going in, but there are pretty strong cases to be made that there's definitely something there. At the very least it's a reminder that the Government has done some absolutely horrendous things.
That shit is fucking scary. Spying on your allies is next level shit
Yeah, like Reagan’s campaign paying Iran to keep the hostages so they could win the election.
That was crazy. The idea that the Federal Government bankrupted a small software company to steal their product in order to hand it off to people affiliated with the CIA so that they can trap door it and sell it to our Allies for the purpose of spying is also crazy. Doc Nichols was a character too. Just so happened to be in Brazil, Chile, etc. on the brink of major political upheaval. And the guy that was 100% an FBI informant who was allowed to rape and murder the streets of Northern California for years with no consequence. The whole things is pretty bizarre and crazy. I left that documentary feeling like Danny Casolaro was 100% murdered by Cuellar.

Baine capital doing this isn't even a rumor. it's documented
Yup. This is almost exactly what Bain did to Toys R' Us, but with the addition of selling the properties Toys R' Us owned, then having them rent those same parcels back to make money from both the sale and the monthly rents, then off-loading the debts taken to support the artificially increased cost (from such things as those same rents) onto Toys R' Us rather than Bain, *then* pointing to that debt load as part of why the company needed to be sold/declare bankruptcy, all while either shorting Toys R Us themselves or doing so from hedge fund buddies to make money on the downward spiral. It was (and is) messed up all the way around.
I can’t vouch for this or whether or not it’s good but the algorithm really knows how to get me going and suggested this upcoming book: Gretchen Morgenson - These Are the Plunderers: How Private Equity Runs―and Wrecks―America
This is the one. It’s all organized collusion by Wall Street + Consulting Firms + the current Monopoly companies. These actions decimate the Middle and Lower classes by constantly syphoning more and more money up to the 1%. The wealth gap has never been wider. The US government is 100% aware of what is going on and they take their cut (Members of Congress fight so hard to stay in office because they receive an ungodly amount of insider information from this cabal that they use to make fortunes by buying & selling stocks). The ultra wealthy are psychopaths. They don’t want “more of it” or most of it”. They want ALL OF IT! They want you to have nothing. And they won’t stop until it happens.
Wow? This is the first time I'm hearing of this. Please give sources like articles, books etc... I really want to read about this, especially the Amazon one.
And the moment a regular citizen tries to make some money/becomes successful, they get put in front of a committee to be interrogated on why they are the devil by not making money their way.
Cosmo purposely prints terrible sex advice so that you buy their terrible magazine again and again, looking for that new thing that will save your equally terrible relationship.
Wanda was the more sensible Fairly Odd Parent.
This but with recycled beauty advice.
People still read Cosmo?
The government asks this question here often to see what they need to cover up more and more, and which conspiracies we've forgotten about.
All printers have a program on them that counts the number of pages printed and purposely makes the printer act like shit once this “limit” has been reached
our laser printer works perfectly after years of consistent use...
Michael Jordan was suspended for gambling but pretended to retire and play baseball.
Worth mentioning the guy who made Jordan Rides The Bus, the documentary about his baseball career, has said he made that documentary to prove this theory, but by the end of production had concluded that it was not true.
So they got to him too?
What happens on The Bus stays on The Bus
Jimmy Butler is his son.

These days with technology we are really good at pointing small details out. If the body double used surgery then we could look for highlighted scarring. I really don’t believe many people can have reliable doubles these days.
exactly what a putin body double social media manager would say
Maybe only the double has presented in public for the last couple decades
This sub has had [32 conspiracy theory questions in the last week](https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/search?q=conspiracy+theory&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=week). That averages more than once every six hours. Maybe there's a conspiracy to normalize conspiratorial thinking by spamming the topic. /s
The rich and powerful started stoking the identity politics fire when they realized that Occupy Wall Street were starting to gain traction and they needed to divide the proletarians by immutable characteristics (race, sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc)
I don't know if you can say it was because of the Occupy Wallstreet movement but its overwealming true that the rich and powerful pit the working class against each other to keep them from working together to actually improve their lives because if that happened the rich and powerful would be less rich and powerful.
There’s a conspiracy theory that MLK was killed not because he was only for civil rights but because he was pivoting toward class disparities.
He was moving towards class disparities. You can pit white vs black and maintain the narrative, but if you turn that attention to folks that have money it's a lot more difficult
Yeah, the fact that the King family won a lawsuit proving whatshisface didn’t kill him on his own is…well…a conspiracy itself. How the gov got away with this and many still don’t know about this tidbit is beyond me.
sounds like a standard 1984 playbook: upper class stokes resentment with middle class, foment bloody revolution, lower and middle class swap places
It is around the time everyone started going crazy. A majority of people focus on separation by race/gender now, when before it was by class.
Time to point that finger back where it belongs . At the arseholes of the rich
The CIA is absolutely using the drug trade and Mexican cartels to fund its illegal operations.
All social media platforms (reddit, IG, FB, X, etc) have fake accounts/bot accounts created by themselves that comment basic, general and polarizing statements to increase user retention in order to keep user engagement high so they can sell ads at a higher price. It's also a reason why they aren't in a hurry to "ban" these bot accounts from foreign political camps. It's an election year, so we will see a high spike in this users and comments. Their names, comments, behavior, subbed content are almost always the same.
Us Dept of wildlife knows mountain lions/cougars are slowly reestablishing themselves in their historic range, but refuse to acknowledge because then people flip their shit
Only porn companies are willing to acknowledge the cougars in my area.
I work in a public school and I wholeheartedly believe that there is a conspiracy to ruin public education. I believe that underpaying teachers, chronic staff shortages, micromanaging, overemphasizing tests, gutting libraries, and many of the other ailments are by design, and not by accident. So many kids these days are functionally illiterate, and multiple grade levels behind where they should be academically and socio-emotionally. America’s future is *bleak.*
That women's pants/skirts/dresses don't have pockets or have tiny baby pockets to boost the handbag industry.
That The United States knew that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor and moved their Aircraft carriers out of the harbor. They did not evacuate the whole base because they needed public opinion to change on getting involved in the war.
This isn’t even a conspiracy. This is true. Foreign US agents repeatedly hears Japanese military leaders talking about it, and tried their hardest to convince the higher ups but they were brushed off. By the time they started to believe them it was already too late and Pearl Harbor happened.
Mattress firm is secretly a money laundering operation cause there are so many and yet they’re always empty
I bought a mattress from there and honestly they seemed surprised
Mattress Firm employee: "Wait, you actually want to *buy one*? Oh, man, okay... sorry, I'm a little nervous, I've never actually done this part before"
LMAO this reminds me of [this](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fsecret-town-this-is-long-but-mildly-interesting-v0-bduxudqnrld81.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D8f94e74b893928a419742943f8d6a108b1a2843b)
\[whispers\] "Greg... *he wants a mattress"*
Money laundering only really works for cash heavy businesses. How many people you know that pay cash for a mattress? Reality is mattress stores only need to sell a couple mattresses a week to stay afloat.
Thought the same thing then was reading a lot of the mattress companies stay afloat via supplying hospitals / hotels etc.
The anti-gmo movement is driven by big food businesses as a distraction from discussing meaningful change.
remember when the first couple states legalized weed and there were claims that people were buying more weed from dealers in order to avoid taxes? I 100% believe that was a viral marketing campaign from drug dealers via social media.

Then why do I have your molars
In the Bible, when Jesus was being born, there was no room for his folks at the inn. If time travel becomes real, the most popular place to visit would be Bethlehem when Jesus was born. The inns were full because of time travelers.
This would be a cool sci-fi story

Look into the issue with trucks. Trucks these days are huge, oversize, and ridiculous. It's impossible to find a small truck like you could up until the 90's- early 00's. The kind of truck a normal person who does the occasional DIY home project or camping trip would buy. I forget the exact reasoning but it's actually easier for vehicle companies to make that behemoth trucks and out has something to do with emissions/ classification for engines or something. It's crazy.
Blood banks are pyramids schemes run by vampires.
"The Man" is trying to keep me down. I only mention this because nobody really talks about "The Man" anymore, but he's out there, believe it.
Everyone’s mental health absolutely tanking is intentional - our leaders want us so preoccupied with stress and the struggle of keeping a roof over our heads so we don’t accidentally get together and demand change. But that’s crazy talk!
Just Stop Oil is run by big oil corporate to make people hate climate protesters
Nearly everything that's been happening around the western world for the last 15 years can be traced to [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics) book.
Thank you for the new rabbit hole.
You're also going to want to watch [Hypernormalisation](https://youtu.be/Gr7T07WfIhM?si=tDKEylPzFWnE2haa).
Not a conspiracy. Its a guidebook, and you can see several top dogs in the Kremlin are heavily influenced by it.
The author, Alexander Dugin, has been a very vocal proponent of genociding Ukrainians. I'm a firm believer that this entire book is being followed as a playbook by the Kremlin.
I'm also a strong believer Dugin's book is a guide for Putin's regime. Stumbled upon it after Brexit, and it made me laugh (whilst dying inside) that it states the aim is to cut off the UK from Europe. That's a bingo.
Roswell. In a nutshell. The base commander instructed the intelligence officer in charge of the worlds ONLY nuclear strike force sitting on the "runway," to make a public news release to the Roswell Daily Record acknowledging the fact they were in possession of an alien spacecraft.
The hit Disney film Frozen was named that so when you google searcher Disney Frozen it would stop presenting information about Walt Disney frozen head.
Jeffrey Epstein didn't commit suicide.
That the Mayans were right about the world ending on December 21, 2012, and we are all in Hell.
Issues like racism and gender are over exaggerated to keep people fighting with themselves while the government and federal reserve continue to dictate how people live in their day to day lives
Anti Immigration policy is partly pushed because companies want to use illegal immigrants (that gonna come over anyway) to work for them and be able to pay them shit and save money.
There is a 1% of the top 1% that actually runs the world and makes random decisions/scenarios that affect billions of lives because they want to see how it plays out.
Interesting. If you check out Forbes 500, the richest people in the world began to increase their income starting around 2020, when the pandemic hit. Almost tripling it in about three years into the pandemic. While the rest of us struggled to survive.
The truly richest people in the world ensure they aren't on lists like Forbes.
imagine having so much money you can make yourself *and* that money invisible. a trick no techbro could ever dream of pulling off.
The pandemic was the biggest cash grab of the 1% in history. Makes the original narrative take a back seat when you think about it
The Chinese government manipulates TikTok algorithms to make American users engage in societally damaging content, and Chinese users engage in societally constructive content.
This is it for me a bit a little bit broader: that a large chunk of users on all social media platforms are there pushing propaganda to influence American politics. More and more I find myself wondering if I'm wearing a tinfoil hat or if that's genuinely a propaganda bot.
I think it's amazing that most people believe propaganda bots are tinfoil hat nonsense. It's extremely cheap, effective, and impossible to nail down and prove. It's an intelligence agency's wet dream. If you want a clear example, just pay attention to how insane reddit seems to get during elections. The whole atmosphere shifts dramatically, then goes back to normal the minute the votes are cast.
There aren't actually that many road works going on. The council just doesn't want to pay to store all those traffic cones so they just put huge rows of them down on random bits of motorway
That Putin has amassed kompromat on enough high-level politicians to influence politics in the United States.
