I always thought the Kennedy assassination conspiracy (that Oswald was a patsy) was plausible if only because you conveniently got to see him murdered on live television. Like in history how many times has someone been killed on live TV? It's so loving rare. It seemed like it was a little too convenient in order to shut people up who would then claim Oswald was alive and in some Guatemalan prison or something.

We're all part of a well funded government sanctioned program to funnel money upwards, and any attempt to prevent this is self controlling due to propoganda instilled by the media.

To be fair, in 1963 modern television was fairly new, live television even more so. Haven't been too many live killings since then. I like the P.O.W./ M.I.A. theory that Vietnam and North Korea just sort of kept some U.S. soldiers indefinitely after wars. That's mildly spooky and slightly plausible.

The street clashes between left and right in Berkeley were orchestrated by Steven Bannon as an Italian-style "strategy of tension" but they got out of hand, culminating in Charlottesville and Bannon's ouster a few days later (ostensibly for contradicting Trump on North Korea, but that wasn't the real reason).

This goes back to 2016 when Milo Yiannopolous met privately in Dallas with Richard Spencer at a conference for members of TRS, a neo-Nazi web forum which organizes IRL meetup groups. This was not known about until much later when a video of Milo singing America, The Beautiful at an after-party at a bar full of seig heiling white nationalists near White Rock Lake appeared on Buzzfeed. At the time, Milo was working directly for Bannon. In the same neighborhood near White Rock Lake lives (I'm not posting his name) a long-time white nationalist organizer affiliated with American Renaissance who is now retired, but tweeted about hosting Nathan Damigo (former white nationalist leader who is from California) at his home.

He's the blonde manlet:

Damigo later showed up at one of these clashes over a Milo speech with muscle in tow and fought with the counter-protesters. Milo's whole deal was always organizing troll armies that he started with Gamergate and this was a step up.

Read up on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_of_tension

This also fits the pattern with the Bannon-orchestrated travel ban which caused protesters to flood airports. That book Fire and Fury claims Bannon did it to deliberately provoke and inflame opposition.

Possible. Bannon also liked to give wild quotes like "I'm Darth Vader" and stuff to make himself seem like he could tap into the dark forces. Like "darkness is good."

Hitler didn't kill himself and escaped with his wife to Argentina.

The Roswell incident was not a weather balloon (but also probably not an alien spacecraft).

There is an apocalypse bunker for the global elite hidden under the Denver International Airport, which also probably houses the reptilian aliens in their true form where they perform experiments on creating more human/reptilian hybrids (probably, what else would you do in a bunker?).

even more popular coal related ct that has a lot more facts

bitcoin and crypto is the resulting product of big coal and gov't bribes to increase the world electricity usage thus increasing the price and demand for coal to increase coal profits and in turn big coal bribes. crypto electricity usage is big and coal has become more profitable and coal campaign donations have been on the rise.

People always say this but I think if you screen the employees well enough and more importantly pay them well enough you can keep anything secret. Just keep it compartmentalized and make sure nobody with a motive to uncover it gets access to the information. If you paid me enough I'd keep pretty much anything/everything a secret. There would have to be some clauses in the contract in case I get tortured for it and some really good reward for me if I survive without telling them of course.
