Has anyone else had the experience where, whenever a conspiracy is found to be true, the public has this attitude like everyone knew this was going on for a long time? As if it wasn't anything new. But up until this point, the mainstream public acted like these types of conspiracies just didn't happen?

Also were right about Jew targetting media, banking, state dept., etc. And what with the second cold war well underway, your inability to speak to this very real truth is going to directly lead to the ruin of the planet.

As this appears to be a remark about jewish people on the whole, I'll link to the warning i issued you a few minutes ago. https://voat.co/v/Conspiracy/comments/115263/324371

This comment of yours was made prior to my issuance of the warning for bigoted attacks and thus this it does not constitute a willful ignorance of the rule. I issue this notice so that others passing by may be aware that our current rules do not permit overt attacks on people's race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, or creed, and to know that such conduct is attended to.

Maybe that speaks more to the ineptness/indifference of covering their tracks?

Guess why I'm subscribed to /v/conspiracy when 5 years ago I would have written this sub off without looking at it twice? Most of this stuff isnt a conspiracy any more, it's the news the day before the story breaks.

"Conspiracy Theorists" are just free-thinkers, that question everything instead of accepting it at face value, but the media portrays us as crazies.

The best defence against the truth is to make it look absurd to the masses... Which is really quite easy because very little question the mainstream media. :(

Yes, but we all know this by now right? I mean it was clearly eased into the general knowledge by controlled leaks, media attention etc. by the US government each time they realized they couldn't contain the given scheme. It's sort of genius that they denied everything and made it look like tinfoilhat stuff long enough to plant the idea of "thats ridicilous" to the minds of general population and then they kind of admitted to doing it afterwards, but still keeping that thought in our heads. We all know they were planned from the get go now, but somehow we still accept what happened. Weird ain't it.

That's what conspirac y theorists stand for: they are intrigued by some fact and thus enquire about alternative possibilities. A conspiracy can emerge, or just another truth. But suggesting that someone directly looks for a conspiracy is quite insulting.

I do not know of a single conspiracy theorist who'd call himself using this idiotic moniker.

The name conspiracy theorist is too dismissive a term for those that actually fight to expose real corruption and wrongdoing. There is a world of difference between people who believe in the Illuminati and that the moon landing was faked and those who helped expose the lies about the Iraq war and the banking crisis. Attempting to lump those who call out blatant corruption in the same group as people who believe in aliens and such feels like an attempt to discredit real whistle blowers and investigators.

The illuminati is real and the moon landing was fake. Aliens and UFOs are promoted as part of Project Blue Beam.

So project blue beam is actually real huh, that scary.

yes, our owners want on one hand to divide and conquer the little people so that they can rule over them, and on the other hand, they want the little people to be united around a common cause like defense against an alien attack, an ebola outbreak, or man made climate change. for more info

I completely agree, I think the problem has been that, for the most part, there has really been no way and no where to have a discussion of one without there being discussion of the other. Even with the proliferation of forums in the the past 15-20yrs, it really hasn't been until the last 5 or 6 where discussion of the more outlandish aren't drowning out the discussion of the other. There's an old adage in the media community- The medium is the message. It speaks to the relationship by which the medium influences how a message is perceived. Because of this, genuine whistleblowers & investigators are tainted by association.

Had Snowden leaked his documents to Alex Jones, would it have had the same effect?
