There's a war on for your mind!
~ Alex Jones
I love a good conspiracy theory, the crazier and more far-reaching the better. One of my favourites is the conspiracy that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was secretly replaced with a look-alike.
One of the conspiracy theory staples is chemtrails, allegedly caused by the government spraying us with chemicals to dumb us down and make us complacent.
Another conspiracy is the US government has weather weapons of mass destruction, capable of causing large-scale weather events through the use of electromagnetism or temperature seeding, and that major events like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy were created.
Oh, and who can forget the tried and tested "crisis actor" theory that gets thrown into the wind every time there is some kind of shooting, usually a school shooting. Amateur investigators put on their tinfoil hats and allege that all shootings are faked, and point out crisis actors being used in the staged events.
Perhaps the biggest conspiracy theory of them all is 9/11.
The planes flying into the World Trade Centres and WTC 7 collapsing (even though it wasn't hit by planes). The WTC theory is interesting because you have people who claim to have heard exploisions, claims of military grade thermite being used, a laser painting UAV drone helped bring down the building, that the collapses were controlled demolition, and even that the planes were holograms.
We also can't talk about 9/11 without also mentioning the alleged missile strike on the Pentagon. The government said it was a plain, but expert online investigators are convinced that a missile was flown into the Pentagon, conveniently hitting and killing the department investigating trillions in missing money.
Let me blow your mind
What if conspiracy theories are actually an attempt by the US (and world governments) to confuse and distract us? That all of these conspiracy theories just take away our attention about what is really going on? What if the 9/11 conspiracy theories are designed to prevent us from looking where we should be looking?
Instead, the government has citizens running around chasing loose ends and claiming they've discovered the secret. The government doesn't want you to know, it wants you to be confused.
What if those chemtrails are a magic trick, an illusion designed to make you look up when you should be looking down? While you're looking up at these chemtrails as the government is allegedly spraying you, that little sprinklers in the ground are spraying people and polluting our water supply?
Conspiracy theorists, you're looking in the direction the government wants you to look. You think you have it all worked out, but you're just doing what you're told, you just don't realise it.
You can't win
The government knows everything about you, you freely give up your identity online. Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google and every other conglomerate know more about you than you do yourself. Your ISP is tracking your internet usage, your bank is tracking your spending, the NSA is watching your cryptocurrency transactions.
You're playing a game you can't win. This is Monopoly, but the government owns the board and they know every step you're taking at all times. If by chance you were to ever get close to some kind of truth, a 9/11 laser UAV drone will be heading to your house or a hologram passenger jet.
If you survive the laser drones and hologram planes, they might just have to send around a Paul McCartney clone to take care of you.
