Because any 18-year-old at a speech by some old geezer peddling conspiracy theories is either a ****ing weirdo, insane, or has been dragged there by someone who is either a ****ing weirdo or insane.

David Icke is the guy who believes we live in an alternate reality projected by Venus or some other planet, right? Heard about him from my friend.

Yeah, you kind of need some kind of scientific credentials for me to believe it. I've realized that 9 times out of 10 the dot connectors are literally just making **** up. A lot of it comes from them giving our government too much credit. Not everything done in government is a well calculated plan. There is a lot of human error and a lot of flat out stupidity in government. And they always lead the dots to aliens, demons or other worldly puppet masters. Because of all the people in the world it's these random dudes with no background being in government, the science community or historical studies claiming to know a secret truth that's so secret that everybody knows about it though they can never really prove it.

And people eat it up because they want to believe it. Makes things a bit more exciting knowing 'the truth', right? Also makes for a lucrative career.

And yeah, infomercials don't work 9 times out of ten. There is no easy secret to losing weight, there is no anti aging formula and no pills will make your dick bigger. They are selling you stardust.

There was nothing like working for the government to prove to me that everyone there is so collectively incompetent, something on the scale of what conspiracy theorists talk about could never happen. The government employs nearly 22 million people (and that's just civilians). These conspiracies are usually so intricate that hundreds to thousands of people would have to be in on it. You just can't keep everyone in a group of people that large silent.

"Do you believe that the mainstream media has been too eager to jump to conclusions about rumored stories?"

Unprecedented....

FBI rejects White House request to debunk Russia stories - Business Insider

Unprecedented = impeached

The White House asking the FBI to back the **** off? Unprecidented.

Nixon approves of this sentiment.
