I recently wrote a post that claims conspiracy theorists are the only real scientists, according to the definition of science:

WTC building 7 just really got me started, and I think it would for most people, but few revisit the idea. Realizing that if that building was a controlled demolition, which takes weeks/months of planning and preparation, then the whole thing had to be orchestrated because why would you just have some building set with explosives sitting around for the off chance for something to happen nearby and then blame it on. But then why would they film it, because it was so obviously a demolition? Was it all just to continuously confuse the public? I don't know how many chess moves ahead they are and that's the terrifying part.

Great post! This is a conundrum I myself have struggled with quite a bit since we seemingly entered 'the upside down'. It really has come to the point where so much gaslighting and outright lying has been perpetrated by not only corporate media, but bad actors in the independent space as well. I think your best defence is to sample from a wide variety of sources and use your intuition. Generally when there is a variety of viewpoints on an issue the truth lies somewhere in the middle; not always, but often enough. It really comes down to doing your homework, digging deep and developing a keen instinct for sniffing out misdirection and obfuscations.

I find now even when someone is having a laugh and just says some crazy shit for giggles it doesn't even surprise me anymore. Like if someone says something like, "Ya know the blue in the sky is actually caused by particles of a particular blue emulsion that was used up to the 60's that just never came down, but now it's fading as we no longer use it and it's becoming translucent with age!" I be like,

-'Wow, well given the last four years, seems plausible enough, so what colour was the sky before?'

- 'Blue as well.'

-'Oh.'

I'm joking of course, but I just don't take in a lot of this stuff in, or, on board like I used to one time. There's things I care about but they're generally issues or instances that are local, immediate, verifiable, ya know? I reckon if everyone concentrated on putting the spotlight on the corruption and the insane psychotic assholes in their immediate area, village, town and/or city and country, we'd put paid to much of the bullshit very quickly, and that is what is actually happening worldwide at the moment, because most people have had enough of it in my view, and it's only going to get exponentially worse for these pathologically chronic liars as time goes on and more and more people attempt to redress the imbalance. But of course, it'll all be for naught if we don't first look at ourselves, but as always, time will tell. Cheers Christopher. Cool article.

The CIA and Military Complex are taking us down. Found out on Tucker with Rogan that CIA killed Kennedy. My dad told me that on the day in 1963. The CIA set up everything against Nixon. He was innocent— and they chose Gerald Ford to be president. He was on the Warren Commission, and said not to interview Jack Ruby. Then they shot Jack Ruby .. serious stuff with the CIA. I think they have outgrown themselves, and are now ruling the world beside the Cabal. Of course Satan uses each one of them. They are his tools of Evil….

Now Hamas has moved into America. It would be smart for each person to read this:

2 Chronicles 7:14. Now do what it says fast..

Looks like our days numbered may be getting shorter. Our country has turned away from our creator, Almighty God.

Makes you think about why they are called institutions. It’s another word that gives the veil of authority so it goes with the whole authoritarian complex. I heard someone say if you’re committed to an institution you should be committed to an institution.

You certainly stir the pot so very well, Christopher! I salute you in doing this. I fully trust no human being, especially at my Elder age. I consider evidence, I look at behavior, I look at results. I will check out this gentleman's music. Thank you for keeping on the cutting edge, Christopher, a great value to me. Blessings to you and yours, WEW

If I hear it on mainstream or corporate media as I prefer to call it, I know there is a reason and I’m always betting it’s not a good one - not good for us that is, us decent, ordinary Men and Women or Mother Earth.

It seems to me that the archetypal wound of betrayal just had an intense upgrade and that will force people to learn how to trust their inner guidance system rather than look outside of it.

Thanks for reminding me about Eratosthenes. I could remember the story around the discovery but not the name of the person.

James Lindsay's recent interview with Joe Rogan is worth watching. Lots of angles on conspiracy theory are pushed around.

Conspiracy Music Guru is awesome! Yeah, a lot of people who believe conspiracies just believe them without looking into the deeper layers, it becomes another layer of awareness cloaked as awakening but without the inner excavation needed to move into that intuitive gnosis....while still knowing what one can't know, only entertain theoretically and/or from a state of curiosity and questioning, as you noted.

Somewhere between naivety and cynicism you find it. And there’s nothing wrong with being judgemental. It should be a virtue.

Well said. I say this often about many of the new outlandish theories people embrace without hesitation. We’re in a collective existential crisis, a world where all our trusted institutions are disintegrating. As the old paradigm dissolves beneath our feet, people will grasp at anything and everything to feel any sense of safety. The changes that are occurring are deeply disorienting. It’s now more than ever that we need a strong inner, spiritual foundation in order to traverse the unknown on levels we’ve never experienced before. We’re in a collective death and rebirth process. The collective disorientation in the midst of that is only going to intensify over the next decade.

“Beclowned” gave me an involuntary, electric-prod-style wordgasm. You’ll see that one again.

I am convinced that some of the silliest of the counter-mainstream “theories” that were floated during the advent of pathotarianism, 2020-2023, were actually well-funded and deliberate operations put forward with the intention of making all criticism of the Branch Covidian cult look stupid; smear by association.

I will mention perhaps the most egregiously stupid of these, not as an example, but because I so enjoy pissing off a few of the idiots who fell for it and made us all look stupid, and I’d like to think a few of them are here.

There was this failed MD from Auckland, see, who suddenly papered alternative internet media like the Grayzone with very slick multimillion-dollar morphed videos of her saggy baggy fifty-something self as a svelte and oversexed doctor of 23, bravely announcing that “Ain’t No Sech Thang as a Virus” clown act. Her name was Sam Bailey, and many the benighted goober who took one look at her fake self in the video and believed every word.

I don’t know who funded all that, and don’t suppose we ever will, but it wasn’t her, or any of those other smarmy losers who whored themselves out for the project.

Boy, did THAT work. We spent the next two years trying to discuss what was actually going on in between ejaculatory shouts of “Ain’t no viruses! Ain’t nobody never seen no viruses!”

As long as I live, I will never miss a chance to make fun o’ them there Gulla bulls, and I’m grateful for the opening, thanks.
