This is a really old conspiracy theory. Its easier to believe in a hyper competent conspiracy headed by people you don't like (read: Jewish) than it is to believe that the world is sometimes random and often cruel. Plus, you get to feel smart and cool when you realize something the sheeple didnt realize! What a badass you are!
And thats before nazis and grifters who no other talents make use of this process (enabled by a fuckton of capital, provided by those who will literally burn down the world and half of the people in it to keep their privileges) to hollow out the center.
I think I had seen some of the “it was switched out with the Olympia as an insurance scam!” before - but not in connection with the Federal Reserve conspiracy theories. Is that aspect of it old too?
not sure. I knew about the switching part but that might have coem along later
The switch story was invented by an electrician in the late 1980s. The federal reserve stuff is much newer.
I heard that this is a new theroy. Started in the mid 90s convenatly when all the eye witnees started dieing of old age.
