This is the reason why I always get way to mad at conspiracy theorists. You don't have to make up some shadowy cabal or the jews, be mad at the wealthy oligarchs.

One theory I heard: Crazy conspiracy theories were created by the government to make legitimate conspiracy theories look ridiculous by association. "Oh, you think there's an island of pedophile billionaires running the world? I bet you also think the moon landing was fake." A classic "the butts match" gambit.

Which is why Alex Jones was a CIA asset whether he knew it or not

I don't think it is planed like the conspiracy theories are created but ampliefed to distroy the public trust and muddy the waters, I don't think that is too far fetched.

Thats level one feury. Level 2 is when they tell you a well known asshole billionaire is going to fight the shadow cabal for us.

You know them, you know their names, net worth ranked etc.

Among other things they were high on ket and thought they can teabag democracy in the face because everyone is so dumb.

They have shits for brains now that betray the game blatantly.

Shadow cabal and oligarchy aren't mutually exclusive. Seems to me the oligarchs are just the more obvious nodes of the shadow cabal web, the fuckers with the money and power that can go on TV and talk directly to senators.

Go one step back away from the limelight and you get dudes like Cheney, Bannon, people who interact with all the obvious oligarchs but don't need to post on social media and don't need to stay relevant to constituents. And then people like Epstein, agents in the field gathering blackmail.

Shit is pretty fucking crazy tbh.

“As you probably know I represent the Rothschild’s” -Jeffery Epstein in email to Peter Thiel.

That's redundant. Sociopathic Oligarch is better. Wait, that's redundant, too...

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world -2 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

A family of old money wealthy oligarchs who founded the state of Israel and set up Epstein to blackmail politicians in the west to continue to fund their genocidal state at their citizens behest. A little more complicated when you add generations of oligarchs with nefarious agendas. Even if the problem boils down to that these oligarchs have millions brainwashed to defend them and their agenda through tribalism and media propaganda. I agree that most of the world’s problems have boiled down to the wealthy but that is an oversimplification when you don’t factor in the “conspiracy” meaning the nefarious plots to maintain and grow their power and the control they hold over our “democracies”.

Those damn jews, right? If somebody would just do something about them. /s
Please cut that bullshit of these shadowy dark figures in the background. There are real people like Elon Musk from whom we know what he does and influences with his wealth.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world -3 points 10 hours ago

Nice try Mossad.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

What's the point of all that money if you have to use so much of it to manipulate the world so they won't murder you and your entire bloodline?

Just get moderately wealthy, and and have a nice life, with nobody gunning for you. Is the bigger mansion or bigger yacht really that much better?

The more I see from groups like this, I cant help but agree. Maybe its all the isolation and paranoia knowing that most of the people around you are just using you for your money or influence and don't give a shit about you.

The pedo cabal is downvoting us lol

I think cluster b personality disorders like malignant narcissism and psychopathy are rewarded in our broken society so it’s compounded ten fold at the top

Can you just fuck off with the anti-semitism? Dog whistles and all? Thx.

What?!? Nothing I said wasn’t factual. Also, the Palestinian’s are the semetic people not some white guy from jersey.
