OMG. This is a line of thought that causes my husband to accuse me of falling for conspiracy theories, but which causes ME to feel chills ... because it resonates as TRUTH. The accumulation of facts and opinions I've ingested since Trump came down that escalator, leads me to believe what you describe. You offer details which explain many mysteries I've pondered.

These specifics would make a great plot for a best-seller spy novel, but I'd rather not be living here, as it plays out in my homeland. Unfortunately, there's nowhere to run, and I'm too old to relocate. .... So be it.

For me, it's time to stop worrying about my own sorry skin, and start caring for the most vulnerable among us.

There are conspiracy theories and their are conspiracies. Those who engage in conspiracies and have gravitas, power,influence belittle the notion, and why not , ridicule works.

If anyone mentioned seeing a UFO (UAP) they were ridiculed as a kook, a krank, if a pilot they would be grounded, now they are taken seriously.

Jan 6 was a conspiracy. Trump is a conspiracy, out in the open, and that's the way to do it.

Life is nothing but conspiracy, If you see two businessmen having drinks or dinner together, be assured a conspiracy is afoot.

A spouse on the phone to a lover, another conspiracy.

Some conspiracy theories are bonkers, but not all.

It is like populism, there is left wing populism, like Bernie Sanders,, and right wing populism like Trump.

But all populism has been tainted by the likes of William Jennings Bryan, Huey Long, Adolph Hitler and Trump.
