The System

It's a big club, and you ain't in it

There’s a meme so salient, it has become a T-shirt. The meme asks, “What’s the difference between conspiracy theory and fact?” Answer: About six months. Every day, we find out some random horror trope that was previously relegated to the discount shelf of crackpot hypotheses is hard, cold reality. The most recent zinger alleges that Putin says American fast food chains are trafficking in Soylent Green in the form of burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. KFC recently put out a creepy, tone deaf commercial that features a man being dunked in a lake of gravy and being rendered as a giant chicken nugget. It was as if they were trying to tell us something.

Still from the KFC gravy commercial of the man who becomes a nugget

The CIA assassinated John F. Kennedy, check. Cloud seeding to manipulate weather as early as the 1970s, check (Operation Popeye). Deadly shots, digital IDs, and a population reduction scheme that involved a bioengineered virus, check. We cannot put anything past the people among us who have obscene levels of resources. Like Tears For Fears said, everybody wants to rule the world.

Pizzagate is real

I am lucky I grew up in situations where I was never subjected to the dark desires of adults while I was still a child. My family wasn’t like that and I generally came to believe most people were decent and good and that pedophiles, especially incest pedophiles, were rare outliers. The vicious truth that every single high level celebrity, politician, and CEO was subject to extreme blackmail involving the Satanic sacrifice of babies and children wasn’t a square on my Bingo card. For the longest time, I thought fame was a meritocracy. If a talented person simply tried hard enough and got the word out there, they would be rewarded with the same money and fame as the pretty people on magazine covers. I could not grok the concept of industry plants. The notion that children were being born and molested and groomed from infancy was too wild and perverse for me to believe.
