I’m not a big believer in conspiracy theories.\u00a0 The biggest reason why is pretty simple- I don’t believe that at any point the US government has had the resources\/ ability to pull off the crazy things they’ve been accused of.\u00a0 Sure, the CIA pulled off some truly awful experiments in the 50s, but they have all come to light.\u00a0 Even the most covert operations seem to come out in time.<\/p>\n
So, I don’t believe any of the old favorites.\u00a0 Yes, I believe we went to the moon AND that the Earth is round.\u00a0 No, I don’t think there were really aliens in Area 51.\u00a0 No, I don’t think Richard Nixon had JFK killed.\u00a0 No, we aren’t all getting implanted with RFID chips against our will.<\/p>\n
But this newest crop of theories is truly nuts.\u00a0 Anything related to Qanon is going to be- they started out with people eating babies, so there was nowhere to go but down.<\/p>\n
The latest one I’ve heard of might be the nuttiest one yet.\u00a0 Apparently JFK Jr either didn’t die or has returned from the dead (that point is a little unclear).\u00a0 And, he is going to show up in Dallas at the same spot his father was shot and lead the Republican party to greatness.<\/p>\n
Of course, anyone with a handful of functioning brain cells can point out a staggering number of problems with this idea.\u00a0 But, I guess if you believe that 5G cell towers, the COVID vaccine, and\/ or clouds (aka Chemtrails) are going to kill you, maybe this isn’t that much of a stretch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
