Dubai chocolate is a propaganda campaign to make us feel positively toward Dubai and the UAE in general, despite being one of the worst hives of villainy in this quadrant

someone on here a while back said that dubai chocolate was intentionally named the same thing as a sex act, in order to dilute search engine results and hide the embarrassing thing with a mundane thing
i have literally no evidence or desire to research this further and i don't remember who said it, but i believe it to be true
I think that’s pretty obvious by how it was pushed by large corporations and traditional media
I went to a clearance store yesterday and the candy section was 80% unsold Dubai chocolate
Most of it had stickers or labels being like "The Viral TikTok sensation!"
So yeah
The Viral TikTok sensation, never eaten.
~~For sale: baby shoes, never worn.~~
Bush let it happen on purpose
CIA+Mafia Gusanos killed JFK
Evangelicals were promoted by the CIA to counter liberation theology.
I always thought it was wierd how the "new athiest" movement went from religious criticism to almost exlusively hating Muslims. I thought their brains broke after 9/11 or something. I never would have guessed a pedophilic mossad agent was cultivating that attitude among those fucking creeps with philanthropic contributions and sex trafficking.
I was going to comment directly to the post with my own answers, but you seem to have written exactly what I was going to say.
So I'll just add that I think it is a conspiracy itself that so many kooky conspiracy theories are boosted and amplified as a means to discredit all conspiracy theories. Doing this allows people who are understandably ignorant of the history and context (aka "normies') the ability to say "oh, that's just a conspiracy theory" to immediately shut down any consideration that the thing they're being presented with is true. The person who says "I don't believe in conspiracy theories" gets to look like the smart rational person even though all they did was spout a thought-terminating cliche, because so many "conspiracy theories" that are intentionally cultivated and amplified get massive amounts of attention, from Q-anon shit, to UFOs, to bigfoot (sorry SFS you rock, but those are silly), to just about anything Alex Jones and his listeners talk about, really are just kooky noise. Conspiracy theories as a concept is an op to discredit real whistleblowers and anyone who believes them.
Conspiracy is a legitimate concept in law: the collusion of two or more people pursuing illegal means to effect some illegal or immoral end. People go to jail for committing conspiratorial acts. Conspiracies are a matter of public record, and some are of real political significance. The Watergate break-in was a conspiracy, as was the Watergate cover-up, which led to Nixon’s downfall. Iran-contra was a conspiracy of immense scope, much of it still uncovered. The savings and loan scandal was described by the Justice Department as “a thousand conspiracies of fraud, theft, and bribery,” the greatest financial crime in history.
Often the term “conspiracy” is applied dismissively whenever one suggests that people who occupy positions of political and economic power are consciously dedicated to advancing their elite interests. Even when they openly profess their designs, there are those who deny that intent is involved. In 1994, the officers of the Federal Reserve announced they would pursue monetary policies designed to maintain a high level of unemployment in order to safeguard against “overheating” the economy. Like any creditor class, they preferred a deflationary course. When an acquaintance of mine mentioned this to friends, he was greeted skeptically, “Do you think the Fed bankers are deliberately trying to keep people unemployed?” In fact, not only did he think it, it was announced on the financial pages of the press. Still, his friends assumed he was imagining a conspiracy because he ascribed self-interested collusion to powerful people.
At a World Affairs Council meeting in San Francisco, I remarked to a participant that U.S. leaders were pushing hard for the reinstatement of capitalism in the former communist countries. He said, “Do you really think they carry it to that level of conscious intent?” I pointed out it was not a conjecture on my part. They have repeatedly announced their commitment to seeing that “free-market reforms” are introduced in Eastern Europe. Their economic aid is channeled almost exclusively into the private sector. The same policy holds for the monies intended for other countries. Thus, as of the end of 1995, “more than $4.5 million U.S. aid to Haiti has been put on hold because the Aristide government has failed to make progress on a program to privatize state-owned companies” (New York Times 11/25/95).
Those who suffer from conspiracy phobia are fond of saying: “Do you actually think there’s a group of people sitting around in a room plotting things?” For some reason that image is assumed to be so patently absurd as to invite only disclaimers. But where else would people of power get together – on park benches or carousels? Indeed, they meet in rooms: corporate boardrooms, Pentagon command rooms, at the Bohemian Grove, in the choice dining rooms at the best restaurants, resorts, hotels, and estates, in the many conference rooms at the White House, the NSA, the CIA, or wherever. And, yes, they consciously plot – though they call it “planning” and “strategizing” – and they do so in great secrecy, often resisting all efforts at public disclosure. No one confabulates and plans more than political and corporate elites and their hired specialists. To make the world safe for those who own it, politically active elements of the owning class have created a national security state that expends billions of dollars and enlists the efforts of vast numbers of people.
Michael Parenti, Dirty Truths
This is my favourite conspiracy theory, the one about conspiracy theories. While the concept has existed probably forever, the term "conspiracy theory" didn't start getting used until after JFK, and we start to see a lot of other stuff like fake moon landing, lizard people etc. getting their start and being lumped in with the JFK assassination around that time. The difference between a conspiracy and "conspiracy theory" is "Who benefits?" actual conspiracies have conspirators with specific goals in mind, "conspiracy theories" have some vague nebulous bad guys hiding the "Truth" for unknown but nefarious reasons, they're often lumped in together because one automatically discredits the other just by being compared to it.

Is this a conspiracy theory, when they've admitted to this publicly?

The popular conception in the 90s and 00s of environmentalist, animal rights, and other left-wing activists as obnoxious, naive children was deliberately inculcated via popular media by the billionaire class.
This is not a billionaire class conspiracy, this is a project by the full bourgeois state. Literally thousands of green activists have died or disappeared just in the last 10 years and IIRC it was worse in the 00's.

Pizzagate was a US government op designed to preemptively discredit anyone who would give a shit about the whole Epstein thing
I'll go to my grave believing this
My theory is that is was designed to desensitise people to the atrocities. Probably a combination of both.

Well, we already know the US waged an active propaganda campaign against the Chinese vaccine
Considering that, has anyone noticed that 5G conspiracy theories are mostly gone? Strange that just when China had the upper hand in 5G, they were the most prevalent...
Don't forget poisoning the well for legitimate criticism of Gates.

I dunno, the 5g stuff is also so tied into treats. Like it’s hard to have a conspiracy that conflicts with people’s little devices and stuff that bring them happiness
American media always portrays foreign movies as undecipherable pretentious garbage so americans dont realize they're watching uninspired rip-offs.
Fort Detrick/COVID is from Maryland, not Wuhan
All Billionaires Are Paedophiles. All of them.
Not particular pressing and I could go either way on it, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Thylacine/Tasmanian Tiger wasn't extinct but was now limited to incredibly remote and inaccessible areas a la the film The Hunter

Overwatch was in part marketed by Blizzard surreptitiously supporting R34 artists, both through commissions and by making high quality SFM assets widely available.
SFM was released to the public because gaben wanted more overwatch porn
School shootings are allowed to continue to make society more accepting of private (especially religious) schools and homeschooling with the goal of dismantling public education. This is of course a multi-pronged attack on public services and public sector employment generally where higher than average rates of unionization and women and BIPOC are employed.

I believe that Joseph Stalin was assassinated in 1953 by the Khrushchev clique to ensure their rise to power.
At the point where Khrushchev would have done this he was not the logical successor, Malenkov was, along with Beria and Molotov. Khrushchev got power after Molotov and Malenkov switched away from Beria and everyone teamed up with Zhukov who had been just about done with Beria's shit for a decade.
The two assassination theories with any logical backing I've seen is that Beria murdered stalin, or that members of the politburo (Which would include Khrushchev) decided to get rid of Stalin because they expected to be purged. Personally I just think he died.

Trudeau is the son of Fidel
Sirhan Sirhan was an MK ULTRA victim, triggered by the 'woman in the polkadot dress' to kill RFK
Oswald was CIA, de Mohrenschildt was his handler, he was set up as the fall guy the actual shooter(s) were in the Dal Tex building and on the grassy knoll, but that's obvious
The Watergate burglary was intentionally bungled
The SLA were an intelligence op, there's evidence to suggest Patty Hearst met De Freeze before her kidnapping
Building 7 was a controlled demolition, but I don't think 9/11 was entirely a CIA op, they had prior knowledge of a planned attack, kept it to themselves and the Cheney/Rumsfeld PNAC cabal used the opportunity for a lot of shenanigans e.g. implementing the contemporary surveillance state and covering up major embezzlement, if it wasn't AQ and 9/11 they would have let through something else or done it entirely themselves to create their 'new Pearl Harbour', Israel got wind somehow or another and the 'dancing Israelis' were Mossad observing
COVID and Lyme disease were created in Fort Detrick, probably escaped accidentally but maybe intentionally
It would not surprise me at all if Jeffrey Epstein were to be found alive and diddling in Telaviv.

I personally ascribe to the uniparty theory, behind the scenes the corporate liberals and reactionaries scheme with capitalists to keep the worker oppressed. Democracy is a hoax and the system is little more than a dictatorship of capital.

Idk anymore, some rather wild cases appear to have some garrish aspects revealed as truth recently. I can tell you what I want to believe:
Yaldobaoth keeps our souls trapped here in the material realm via a spiritual apparratus located within Saturn's Storm. I highly recommend r/SaturnStormCube if you need inspiration, check out posts by r/MenorahMan from a while go. Someone needs to make a boomer shooter out of that lore.

The wackiest I get is UFOs/UAPs and SOMETIMES bigfoot, but only bigfoot when it's native american legends of a forest guardian and not the real wacky stuff of biggy working with orbs or being a celestial creature. As for aliens, I think there's something to it, especially UAPs, given how we've got a few juicy pieces of footage via foia over the years. The government is no doubt keeping tabs on whatever the hell "they" are...while also I'd imagine purposely misleading the public and juicing misinformation like ancient aliens and that crap.

Hugo Chávez was injected with a weaponized cancer-causing virus by the CIA. Just look at everything else that has happened to Venezuela since then. They are ruthless.
In the same way that Robert Maxwell was a "triple agent" (Mossad/KGB/MI6) that sold Israeli spyware and claimed to be personal friends with the Soviet leadership (Gorbachev in particular) along with embedding himself in the British elite class, Jeffery Epstein was a continuation of that. Ghislaine Maxwell is Robert Maxwell's daughter. Epstein was likely the way that the Maxwell's could get into the USA, something Robert struggled with (selling Sandia Israeli spyware certainly did not help). So Epstein was the key to getting to the US elite political class and institutions, allowing for quadruple alliances (CIA) this time or even more, something that Robert didn't have. If that meant paedophilia, human trafficking, prostitution, sex trafficking, and associated blackmail was necessary to get Epstein onboard, it was a price Ghislaine was willing to pay to get access to the USA. Which allowed for all the access to elites from all over the world, which is now obvious. But at some point they got in over their heads, and the US and Israel wanted to get rid of them. The UK probably didn't because of the reputational damage to the royal family, and Russia didn't care. Which is why Netanyahu attacks his political opponents for being associated with Epstein and seems to have a lot fewer links to him and the Maxwells than other Israeli figures. And then Epstein and Maxwell were arrested in the US and Epstein died.
At this point I'm prepared to believe almost anything.
- Billionaire cabal using pizza as a code word for pedo stuff? Real!
- CIA mind control experiments lead to serial killers and domestic terrorism? Real!
If there were really reptile servants of the Annunaki ruling the world disguised as techbros, I'd barely even blink.
The man we know as Tony Hawk is a CIA agent tasked with marketing skateboarding to teenagers, causing them to injure themselves, thereby boosting sales of opioid painkillers for decades to come. The real Tony Hawk died in 1982.
