And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for the unwashed idiots and their made up dog!
Are... are you saying Scooby Doo isn't real?!
Scooby Doo was just a scapegoat created by the CIA in the 60’s to distract from their campaign against The Animaniacs. It all fits if you don’t think about it at all.
WHAT ABOUT SANTA CLAUS?!
Oh my sweet summer child…
I’m surprised this isn’t talked about more. The FBI, as well as the globalist Hollywood elite, forced Santa to star in the film Christmas with the Kranks under the pseudonym Tim Allen. This was a successful smear campaign to sew doubt in the public’s belief that Tim Allen was Santa Clause.
Of course, Santa wasn’t actually in that movie. Well, not his physical self at least. We are all lead to believe that deepfake technology is a new phenomena, but it’s usage goes back much further. How many people now believe that Santa starred in a show about an idiot with a home improvement show? The now classic grunt that is Allen’s catch phrase sounds a lot like a bastardized Ho, Ho, Ho!
Was Santa ever real? Or did he go to jail on trumped up cocaine charges in the 80’s? The waters are so muddied that even the greatest skeptics debate it to this day.
Again, this all makes so much sense if you don’t think about it, or the timeline in which it occurred, at all.
