“And whatever is true or not. It not only feels true! In terms of its result, it is kind of true!”

    Let me spell it out for you, Russell. There is a conspiracy. People realized they could make more money if they took down the unions and axed government regulations, so nobody could stop them from doing whatever they want at the workplace they own.

    So, they convinced half the people who claim to love Jesus to ignore the things he actually said, and to put their faith into completely unrestrained capitalism instead. Because greed is good, right?

    They did wreck most of the unions, they did manage to gut a lot of regulations, and they’re just trying to finish the job. But that’s not a very good campaign strategy generally, few people are sure if they like trickle-down economics, so instead they campaign on culture war issues and appealing to the paranoid crazies.

    Boom. Conspiracy solved. Not so mysterious, really, just some logical moves that make complete sense, and that can be seen plain-as-day just by looking at what your politicians actually vote for, and listening to what they actually say.

        And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for the unwashed idiots and their made up dog!

            Scooby Doo was just a scapegoat created by the CIA in the 60’s to distract from their campaign against The Animaniacs. It all fits if you don’t think about it at all.

                Oh my sweet summer child…

                I’m surprised this isn’t talked about more. The FBI, as well as the globalist Hollywood elite, forced Santa to star in the film Christmas with the Kranks under the pseudonym Tim Allen. This was a successful smear campaign to sew doubt in the public’s belief that Tim Allen was Santa Clause.

                Of course, Santa wasn’t actually in that movie. Well, not his physical self at least. We are all lead to believe that deepfake technology is a new phenomena, but it’s usage goes back much further. How many people now believe that Santa starred in a show about an idiot with a home improvement show? The now classic grunt that is Allen’s catch phrase sounds a lot like a bastardized Ho, Ho, Ho!

                Was Santa ever real? Or did he go to jail on trumped up cocaine charges in the 80’s? The waters are so muddied that even the greatest skeptics debate it to this day.

                Again, this all makes so much sense if you don’t think about it, or the timeline in which it occurred, at all.

    Recovering alcoholics have been know to find things to obsess about. It’s nice when it’s productive.
