What makes us fall for them? Is it because we are bored and looking for some excitement? Do they take our minds off of other day to day worries and the grind? Maybe we think, if only they are true, there is surely light at the end of the tunnel. Conspiracy Theories, from here on referred to as CT.
Let's take a look at some past CT's that turned out to be true. Did you know the CIA had a heart attack gun? The CT had been circulating, but allegations had been denied. Then in 1975, the truth came out. The CIA did indeed have such a weapon. The gun fired a small dart at the intended victim. It could go through multiple layers of clothing and left nothing but a small red dot behind. It felt like a mosquito bite. The dart disintegrated on impact but not before injecting the drug, that would in turn, cause a fatal heart attack. The drug dissipated, leaving no trace to be found during an autopsy.
Another CT was that vaccines caused cancer. Back in the 1950's and 60's, a virus was found in a monkey. The virus ended up in a vaccine that was given to 98 million people before it was discovered and eliminated from the vaccine. The virus was later found in many cancers. Did the virus cause the cancer? As far as the information goes, no one can, or will, say for sure. But, the CDC, Center for Disease Control, admitted that this actually did happen. Then, mysteriously in 2013, the CDC removed the fact sheet on this subject from there public information. Something smells of population control on this one, but that is fodder for another day.
Another newer CT is the one about Q or Qanon. The story behind Q is that Q is either a person or a group of people who work closely with our President. Q posts cryptic messages on a site called 8Chan. 8Chan is an online message board that allows anyone to post just about anything they want, good or bad. It's kind of like free speech without the politically correct correctiveness. Q's message to all patriots is one of a fight between good and evil. That there is a shadow government, that has been in place for many years and they are involved with child trafficking, drugs, and a plan to keep the masses as dumbed down as possible. Q tells its followers to stay the plan, for in the end, the good guys are going to win and it will be a great awakening for all the people of Earth. Q has hundreds of thousands of followers, worldwide. Sounds crazy, huh? Well, it gets even weirder. Recently there was a shooter in a Texas Wal Mart. This guy has some serious mental issues and they did not just occur during this present White House administration. His mother had, weeks before the tragic event, contacted police because she was afraid of his behavior and the fact that he had purchased the gun online from China. He wrote a rambling manifesto that even stated that if the media blamed Trump for his actions, they were lying. Then he posted the manifesto on 8Chan.
Except he didn't. He posted it on Instagram, someone else posted it to 8Chan. 8Chan was shut down because of this, stating it was a place to incite hate, violence, racism, etc. The owner of 8Chan recently testified, behind closed doors.....so much for transparency, to members of our government that the shooter did not post the manifesto on this message board. And Instagram? Oh yeah, it's still up and running. The end results of this one are going to be epic.
So, why do we like these crazy Conspiracy Theories? Because some times, truth really is stranger than fiction and seriously, you just can't make this stuff up.
