The CIA is holding internet surveys to ask people of that board which
conspiracy theories they believe in order to gauge the effectiveness of their hoaxes.

Voting machines in swing states were hacked for the 2024 election. Too many statistical anomalies to ignore.

I don't believe we planned & executed it, but I do believe we knew about it, and stepped back to let it happen, and took advantage of it to expand the police state...

One i came up with myself, and have no real proof for other than "well just look at this shit" :

Gangster rap being promoted as a way to get people to confess to crimes on tape. And to wear your pants in the most trip-hazard way possible for easy capture.

Snoop Dogg and NWA and the like selling impressionable young black people stuck in ghettos that a path to success is to get infront of a microphone, wait for the beat to start, and recite poetry including your name, felonies, and area code.

Yeah im not actually American so I dont have the rich history baked into my consciousness to truly understand my level of ignorance there.

Still basically believe it though.

Jim Carrey is a serial killer.

I used to think it was simply some unhinged person trolling 4chan and reddit. Over the years I've seen it come up a few times and each time the evidence is just slightly more convincing.

So I go down the rabbit hole and seek out the previous iteration I had seen but they are just poof! gone. Stripped from the internet. Removed irrevocably, including references to it from newer accounts and comments.

The writing style of these rants started to show a lack of consistant writing style. As if they were written by different people. The writing style is pointed out as an argument that it wasn't just one lone nutjob reposting his same rant. Or was it? I can't find the commentary anymore. I can't cross check what I can't find.

Either one or a few individuals are playing the long game really well, or one very powerful multimillionaire has murdered dozens of people and constantly scours the internet clean of any evidence pointing towards him.

The rabbit hole goes deep and looks completely different, yet somehow the same, every time.

You're gonna drop a bomb like that, followed by several paragraphs, but none of them mention any of the "evidence"? C'mon!

[โ€“] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

the purpose of my second paragraph is the explanation, I can't find the evidence and don't remember any of it except a vague recollection about a pro wrestler beimg a victim but don't even recall his name.

Osama Bin Laden was never killed.

I never read the book by David Ray Griffin on this subject, but I'm aware of how absurd the Bin Laden tapes were. One day he's wearing camo and has an AK next to him - then the next day he's wearing ceremonial gold/yellow robes and he's so far away from the camera that you can't tell whether he's CGI or not. There's a whole load of crap about "no planes theory" and how it was all CGI, but there's almost no discussion regarding the Bin Laden tapes being CGI.

People also forgot about those weird anthrax letters. I watched a stupid Netflix documentary about the anthrax letters and in the end they admitted that nobody actually saw the supposed mastermind put the anthrax into the mail box. He could have been blackmailed or god-knows what, we will never know. Back to my homie OBL:

https://www.amazon.com/Osama-Bin-Laden-Dead-Alive-ebook/dp/B004OEKA7Q

"The US political discourse and foreign policy in recent years has been based on the assumption that Osama bin Laden is still alive. George W. Bush promised as president that he would get Osama bin Laden dead or alive and has been widely criticized for failing to do so. The US s present military escalation in Afghanistan is said to be necessary to get Osama bin Laden. The news media regularly announce the appearance of new messages from bin Laden. But what if Osama bin Laden died in December 2001 which is the last time a message to or from him was intercepted? In this book, David Ray Griffin examines the evidence for the claim made by everyone from former CIA agent Robert Baer to Oliver North that bin Laden is surely no longer with us. He analyzes the purported messages from bin Laden and finds that, as many have suspected, they do not provide evidence of bin Laden s existence after 2001. This leads naturally to the question: if Osama bin Laden did indeed die in 2001, how and why have dozens of messages from bin Laden appeared since then? Griffin s meticulous analysis supports above all one simple and urgent conclusion: if Osama bin Laden is dead, the US should not be using its troops and treasure to hunt him down."

David Icke, Alex Jones et al are CIA.

[โ€“] ttayh@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

I don't think Jones is a CIA spoof, I think he's an asset
