  If you don’t want you trust the science, at least consider the logistics it would take to pull off the conspiracy.

  @ukulele12345 How sad and depressing that a political cult has made trusting science into something evil.

  On the logistics of con: one of those global, open-ended, polyglot, millions of plotters in-the-know, millions of actual casualties, across the political spectrum, intensely long-term conspiracies. P’haps the biggest steaming con theory ever. What are the reasonable chances?

  Never attribute to conspiracy what can be explained by stupidity.

  In looking at a lot of the conspiracy theories over the last 20 years, I have discovered the real difference between the Truth and many Conspiracy Theories:
  About 2-3 years.

  …yeah, I didn’t want to jump to any rash conclusions myself, but by Georgia, I think you’re onto something.

  And never attribute to incompetence what can be explained with a clear motive.

  But with con theories, it’s never really clear, except p’haps in the con theorist’s head. It’s always circular, self-supporting, unfalsifiable, incessantly mobile & malleable - everything & everyone can potentially be made a part of it, or complicit in some way. “You don’t believe it? You must be part of it!”

  We all agree conspiracies exist we’re just disagreeing on which ones.

  Unless we’re directly involved in a conspiracy, and we are privy to all the dastardly details, trying to figure it out with just an internet connection & a presence in impassioned con theory echo chambers just aren’t reliable methods of determining what the secret plots really are.

  P’haps the only one that’s certainly ascertainable at this juncture is that George Soros/Cock Bros. shot JFK because he was in love with Bigfoot, & Yeti was about to go public about Mike Sasquatch’s plan to expose the Lizard lads’ Moon hoax.
  Sources are very delicate on this one. There’s 1 Lizard whistleblower who can only be referred to as Unusually Deep Voice, who is currently in hiding, as he’s concerned that other lizards might liquidate him “in cold blood” as he sonorously says himself.

  Really, when you contemplate all of this vitally important nonsense, 75 yrs of classification for the most confidentially sensitive documents is unsustainable in our refined twatter age.

  Yet the governments and corporations still manage to keep secrets they deem vital.
  Even conspiracies that come out later to be true,or that have enough evidence to make a fair assumption of what happened are ultimately forgotten. I don’t know about Lizard creatures, or who shot JFK, but I do know that psychopaths seek power, and all to often those that have power go unchecked.

  It’s all about constant, reasonable vigilance, right enough.

  But don’t so easily dismiss the reptilian Lizard Lads. They’re known to be categorically inhuman.

  I can find zero evidence that the illuminati sank Atlantis and wiped out the dinosaurs.

  Which proves that Louis Mountbatten and Rudolph Hess covered it up.
