    3. I heard a conspiracy theory that the original Q was a 12 year old kid who was trolling reddit with what he knew was a lie, because it was just a matter of time before the truth came out (like Hillary’s “impending arrest”). He never imagined people would take it as far as they have, but he thought adults would be smart enough to discern fact from fiction. lol boy was he wrong.

  12. Why does the media group ‘conspiracy theories’ into one myopic entity? Any independent thinking outside the narrow boundary of “media, journalist experts” is ridiculed as conspiracy theories. Corporate media want the American people to be a flock of sheep that believe everything they see on the tv.

    2. We’ve been in a police state since the country was founded. If there was nobody around to keep the peace, well you’re seeing the results in real-time.

      Thoreau said it best…
      “I heartily accept the motto, “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe – “That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
      ——–
      Truth is people have never been further from being ready to govern themselves. We are absolutely living in the movie Idiocracy and declining in every social aspect as technology advances.
