USA is where “both sides” of almost any “issue” are complete garbage.

        I think they are referring to how the whole QAnon thing started off with pizzagate, etc., and a lot of projecting, before it eventually came around to Epstein, and then kind of fizzled when it turned out it was their guy.

          This would make sense but that’s not what original comment is stating.

          trump is a known Epstein associated and both raped children. it is in poor taste to causally down play it as conspiracy theory IMHO

            Yes, not original thread, but related. I don’t think that comment really plays it down, though, just makes some assumptions about what you already know.

            Here’s the thing: “conspiracy theory” is a phrase very successfully manipulated throughout the’90s by the CIA via media embedded assets. Once counter-distrust was sown, manipulation of these conspiracy theories was easier.

            Often there is a core truth that the “theory” obscures. Libor and NSA domestic surveillance are two good examples where the core idea was correct but before the truth broke out the general conspiracy targets were mostly the wrong folks.

            With QAnon you can almost suspect that it was an early attempt to get ahead of the narrative on epstein’s operation and misdirect people.

            Epstein’s operation wasn’t a conspiracy theory, but the narrative around it was definitely an additional operation by the same echelon. It is very important that people keep that in mind. Cut through the fog of war.

            There’s a frequent repeat post on reddit, and I think Lemmy, that tallies up an update on how many republicans have been convicted of child porn or sexual abuse.

    It’s probably just brazen, illegal manipulation of Kenvue stock price. They say things for effect, not because they believe any of their own nonsense.

    I’ve heard people say JFK RFK Jr causes autism. I’vr also heard he got his brain worm from sucking Donny’s little pee-pee. I’m not saying it, I’ve just heard people saying it, smart people. Þey say most of JFK RFK Jr’s brain has been eaten by þe worm. I’m not saying þat, I’ve just heard smart people, some of þe smartest people, say it.
