Most of the information we receive isn't independently verifiable, meaning that we just trust the narrative given to us. Those who give us information - often the media, the government, scientists, educators, historians - have been proven to be agenda driven, using literary devices to control what the audience thinks and often plainly spreading lies. A culture of distrust has been created.

Once an entities credibility is jeopardized then it can be impossible to recover a good reputation. There will always be the wonder "how much of what they are saying is actually true?" I'll never know.

So since gatekeepers of information often don't explain what motivates them, or offer undeniable proof, people attempt to bridge the gaps with theories.

Since we often cannot even confirm or deny a story, a conspiracy theory can be just as good of an explanation as anything, especially if it offers more reasons why something is the way it is.
Well said. I do believe you are on to something.

The definition of "Conspiracy" is two or more people conspiring on anything for a desired outcome.

For any person to claim there isn't conspiracies is a fairy tale.

The group that conspired to overthrow the US government in the Russia Hoax, Obama, Biden, Clapper, Brennan, Yates, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, etc they all conspired for a desired outcome, just to mention one.
Yet, None of them landed in Prison.How many of Trump's crew ended up in prison for federal crimes?
That is no fairy tale or conspiracy theory. That be the facts. lol...

World-wide communism. Firstly secure the means of production, then institute totalitarian control.
Thank God I don't have kids. The end times are upon us.

Barr on Durham Investigation: ‘Evidence Shows That We’re Not Dealing with Just Mistakes or Sloppiness’

April 10, 2020

Barr, who tasked Durham last May to review the origins of the Russia investigation, told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham that the Connecticut U.S. attorney is “looking to bring to justice people who were engaged in abuses if he can show that there were criminal violations.”

“My own view is that the evidence shows that we’re not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness, there was something far more troubling here; and we’re going to get to the bottom of it,” Barr stated. “And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.”

I hope Schiff, Mueller, Comey, Strzok and the rest are indicted, prosecuted found guilty and do hard time. Justice must occurr before the land can heal.

What exactly are you disagreeing with cv5? Certainly not the facts that I stated. Whether you or anyone
else disagrees, We still have law in this land and when Trump is no longer president he is going to know this. Please don't be a wimp. If you have some to say, I'll listen. Enough with the X's...

Barr is Trump's boy. He will be gone soon enough. Do you really think that Bidens going to keep him around after all his non-sense? There are going to be no non-qualified people in office. Everyone hired for these most important positions are going to be vetted.

Trump may be one of a handful of legitimate patriots left in power. The nutter commie DEMs fanned the flames of a BLM communist insurrection that murdered, looted, and burned and the various traitorous DEM mayors and Governors ENDORSED THESE CRIMES....and worse FORCED THE POLICE TO STAND DOWN as the lives, rights and property of citizens were destroyed.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”

Biden is in very deep criminal legal trouble and is officially a wanted man in Ukraine.
He and his druggie lowlife son were engaged in receiving massive bribes and graft from Burisma, then used his power as VP to fire the prosecutor.


So how exactly is this dementia ward patient, criminal and pervert going to save the counrty? Answer: he isn't. The ONLY reason he is running is the slim chance that he will accede to high office and avoid prosecution.

I agree 100%, those you mentioned are terrorist traitors in my opinion.

CHAZ in Seattle, allowing the Thugs to take over the city?

The liberal Mayor's around the country, defunding the police to create chaos and allowing harm on American citizens?

Right from the communist revolutionary playbook.

The vast majority of DEMs in power are communist sympathizers and have EVERY INTENTION TO TURN THE USA OVER TO THE U.N. FOR GOVERNANCE., burn the Constitution and destroy the Republic.

They setup self-referencing truisms unto themselves in coastal enclaves of liberalism. As long as they stay without their containment cities I think general peace can prosper.

The Commander and Chief is non-existent, and I Am voting for vice President Biden Not because He is a Democrat. but because He is proven. You should look up his record. You will be surprised. He's a strong guy. Been through a lot and still persevered. I have the up most respect for the guy...

The Democrat party produced Biden as a response to Trump. Let that sink in for a moment. Their party is dying. This is their last hail mary and if they don't get it they need to rebrand and repackage their party as something more centrist. The cat is out of the bag about the Dems.

You respect Biden? The man is a criminal at large and is mentally deficient. The man never saw a bribe he did not like. Or take. He is scum and a swamp dweller. Fortunately he is unelectable and now that the cities have been torched, and the nutter commie DEMs persist in their insane demands to dissolve the police, I expect many MANY. votes to swing Trumps way. Trump in a landslide 2020. And God willing we kick the bums out and the GOP retakes the House.

The treasonous seditionists commie DEMs have done enough damage.

How do you respect a person who approves of killing the unborn (abortion) and men marrying men homosexuality?

I am only certain of one thing: considering all the "scandals" and various "gates" that had been coming out since the foundation of media, I believe that if we really, and I mean REALLY knew what was going on behind the scenes globally, our hair would stand on ends.

I think it's all business and most of those people that we think are enemies probably actually cooperating in various depravities, drugs and human trafficking or worse, making deals with all kinds of high profile criminals, poor police probably trying to get as many criminals as actually possible, but being forced to let the big fish off the hook. I observed this with drug lords in my country, the people want them all arrested, the police knows all the names, but are only allowed to catch really small fries. Drug lords get out of court very quickly when arrested, and laugh all the way because the court has no power to convict them. This is the kind of people that murdered our prime minister years ago, when he tried to go against them a little bit. What is that telling you, he could not even get into power without their permission. I don't believe it's too different in bigger and richer countries, it's just more high profile criminal, a bigger game with higher stakes.

I was watching some program by a futuristic tech channel yesterday from Singularity University. They run this little propaganda video in between segments, they try to con their viewers expounding ethical discussions about editing genes, "enchancing" people and cloning, and then conclude with "the technology is already there, now we need to use it to help people". In other words, the ethical "debate" has been decided for us, the "discussion" and supposed asking general public for "consent" is a show. There may be organ farms already, growing cloned children somewhere far away in the hills, and if not, there will be in the future. They only let us know that they are already successfully cloning healthy and reproducible mice. That's what they let us know, but how advanced is it really. Are people seriously going to think that the kind of people that runs drug cartels won't have a hand in such a technology and grow children to harvest organs for profit? They have no problem trafficking kids or harvesting organs already and getting away with it...

It may be easier to see how big of a circus politics is when you're coming from a small country like me because small countries' politicians are insignificant players. They are also more easily exposed because of their lack of power. But the tactics are the same because the game is the same. I am not claiming specific theories I can't prove, this is simply applying common sense based off everything I've seen in my life. If a depraved thought can come into a human mind, be sure there's a man out there that has acted upon it already.
