I know someone very high up in the CIA. He told me about PRISM before Edward Snowden. He told me about Stuxnet before the public was aware of its existence. He told me a bunch of other stuff as well.

The things he told me were both fascinating and terrifying. It made me reassess how many US government conspiracies are crazy, and now I actually believe most of them are true.

Which of the following US government conspiracies do you believe are true?:

Aliens crashed at Roswell

Secret society rules the world/USA

Moon landings were faked

9/11 was an inside job

Something nefarious is being added to the water supply

The government created HIV

As far as I know those are all silly conspiracies, I would however hypothesize that those conspiracy theories themselves might be part of a conspiracy theory to misinform the public. Just like the whole "tin foil hat" thing which is obviously silly but in a world where people believe a tin foil hat would prevent mind control, someone talking about MK-ultra would seem just as silly or crazy, I think it's reasonable to theorize these things as false flag campaigns.

1. No. Simply impossible. Experimental aircraft maybe, but no aliens.

2. Somewhat. The cabal is there, thankfully they dont control everything yet. See: Rothschild and sons; communism.

3. No. A technical miracle, but they happened for sure. With a very high power telescope you can see some tracks the rovers left.

4. Definetely. Theres enough circumstantial evidence to take to court and win. Biggest obvious one is Al Franken admitting on Congressional record that he got "the Jew call" (his own words) to not go to work in the towers on that day.

5. Only through negligence and bad science. Fluoride at the end tap cannot be measured en masse effectively, so it is often overused. It is a potent neurotoxin, even at low levels. There is a chicken-egg problem with measuring many contaminants present in recycled water.

6. Again, only through negligence. Insufficient standards in medical supply and waste disposal, needles being reused is how HIV got out.

Keep asking, I can do this all day. Ive been to the bottom of the rabbit hole and back. We have such sights to show you!

I can find no Congressional record of Al Franken saying this.

What I did find were quotes from his book and a lot of people saying that he was being sarcastic and if you read the next few sentences you can see that.

(I still think it was obviously an inside job though without even knowing about Al Franken.)
