21. The term "conspiracy theorist" came from the CIA
Mon Nov 18, 2024, 11:27 PM
Nov 2024

after JFK's assassination, to frame those not buying the official story as crazy. Government is full of conspiracies and meets the definition of organized crime. Unfortunately, it requires tons of reading to begin to understand and without the interest in such subjects, most will never do it.

I would take issue with some of what she wrote because the OKC bombing, the WTC bombing and 9/11 were all things I spent years digging into. They're all much worse than she laid out. Just about nothing is what it seems but people are more comfortable with the "stories" that they're fed because the truth is too awful. I'll just say that each of those events resulted in exactly what the conspirators wanted them to and it is not a coincident the legislation was already written and ready to pass after each.

I would also disagree with her about Trump. He is not in that club and is not liked by any of them. He was perfectly tolerable while in real estate, a celebrity attraction, making donations to politicians and charities and one of the who's-who at all of the big Manhattan parties where people go to be seen. He was, though, as welcome as a skunk at a lawn party in their world and the fact that he had no idea how to navigate it when he got to DC was a source of ridicule. He was an oaf and out of his league. They have their club and he had his and their club is way more exclusive. Now, they have to deal with him and she may be right that he has learned some things about them so they may need to be somewhat careful. I don't really know but it makes some sense. It sure is one crazy fucking story, though. Whoever thought that the Donald Trump that everyone knew of back his NYC days would be a global center of attention? Not me. That was not on my bingo card. It's surreal.
