There are so many disinformation narratives that exist simply to make everything similar look like lunacy by association. Holographic planes on 9/11 is another one of these disinformation narratives, which is pushed with the purpose to keep people from questioning 9/11. Nukes not existing is another. Mandela effect (timelines changing but errors being left behind) is another. CERN opening wormholes is another.

Sure they're fun to think about as thought experiments. But they're not legitimate ideas because of how easily they're disproven. Which is the point. They exist so people go "Wow that's obviously nonsense, therefore all things related to this topic are also probably nonsense".

And then the media calls the nonsense theories "conspiracy theories" and if you become a "conspiracy theorist" you've clearly just lost your mind, and are taken over by nonsense and have lost all rationality. Ergo, the best thing to do, is to never think about those things, or anything related to those things, because you don't want to lose your mind.

That is how the conspiracy misinformation is designed to affect what everyday people will allow themselves to think about.

But once you see past this trick, and aren't afraid to question things anymore, then you can judge for yourself what is false and what is true. And the more varieties of information you expose yourself to, the more you hone your ability to differentiate actual nonsense from true information that makes rational sense based on what is happening in the world.

The thing that scares those in power the most, is if the individuals in the population actually thought for themselves. If the true things are realized as true, and the false things as false, their position in this world would change and they know it. So they keep people in the dark, with misinformation that confuses them about what's true and what's not, which disables them from then doing anything outside the box. And that's how you control a billion people. Not with guns and knives, but with mass social shame, generated by a corporate-owned media, and echoed by enough of the citizens. This is what "Manufacturing Consent" is all about.

Nukes not existing is another.

You may want to look into the occult mysticism related to this.

It's one of those things that's laughable, until you start seeing it.

I happen to recall reading similar comments from you, about other topics.

There have been more than a few exceedingly tense conflicts between superpowers. Infact, it's often suggested that it's a miracle that nuclear war hasn't broken out.

It could be a series of miracles.

However, there alternative theories which easily account for all of the seemingly miraculous outcomes that are more realistic, and don't involve a long continuous series of unbelievable lucky circumstances, or divine intervention.

Nukes have launched from US missile sites, and crashed as duds. Built with 70's tech, with no way to disarm them.

Just saying.

you dont believe nukes exist?

That's not what I said. I said the narrative of nukes not existing is a piece of disinformation designed to distract people from anything important.

Conspiracies are like an elephant in an open field. If you put a barn over them people will want to know what is in the barn. If you fill the field with fake elephants, some more convincing than others, you can claim all the elephants are fake and to prove it you poke one of the fake elephants. The fake conspiracies hide the real ones. Simple as that. And it works. The people who believe the elephant is there usually fall for one of the good fakes and end up looking like fools. Most people who suspect it have doubt and therefore do nothing about it. And then there are the sheep who literally think they are showing their intelligence by declaring that anything that looks like an elephant is fake.

Insightful. And to add to the problem is the limits of communication and veracity.

For example. I can say that I have an elephant in my living room. You can't prove that I don't - nor that I do - unless you actually come here. Further, what does "an elephant" mean? A living large creature? A stuffed toy? A tacky lamp base statue? A photo or painting? A fat girlfriend? The name of a band or a book? There's no end to the variants.

All of these elements of confusion, and more, are utilized by the conspirators and their servants to misinform and deceive, often mixing in some truth to manufacture credibility.

Fantastic piece

"Flat Earthers" are not an organic movement

Yes, Mandela Effect and Flat Earth were created by the same three-letter agency but I forget their name. :) That whole site is always good so I can't help linking to it. Thanks.
