It's a collusion between Big Yarn and Big Corkboard!




This satirical article is one of the funniest things I'd read in quite a while. Just check out a little bit of it as it uses the typical conspiratorial logic as a punching bag:

"A federal task force has determined that the recent rise in online conspiracy theories has in fact been a well-coordinated plot by several powerful corporations designed to increase sales of corkboards and  string.

"'You have no idea how high up this goes,' replied a member of the DC taskforce, speaking on deep background. The taskforce determined that powerful office supply consortiums had deliberately fabricated many popular online conspiracies, including Pizzagate, QAnon, and Marisa Tomei's 1992 Best Supporting Actress win, all in an effort to sell more corkboards and red string."

But do read the entire piece because it's very funny. And, more importantly, it points out the logical fallacy at the core of so many conspiracy theories, argument that for someone to have profited from an event automatically means that they must have orchestrated the event.

The real world, unlike the one in movies, TV shows, and spy novels, is full of coincidences.

  2. Nice disinformation Psyop campaign by the MSM so we all laugh at the crazy conspiracy theorists HA HA HA while the CIA and the NWO create a prison out of the world out of our lives. Fucktard professors help play into the hands of the insiders with their evidence based stupidity they were conditioned to accept..

      But the last conditioning meeting we had at the Bohemian Grove where I partied with the NWO highly council after we celebrated the Black Mass was so much fun.

    1. Would you care to elaborate, Anonymous? Specifically how you found this out? Your proof? And aren’t you ever worried that the Men in Black will one day come out of their NWO black helicopters and make you disappear for giving away all of their diabolical secrets?

  5. Dear Anonymous,
    As a matter of fact, I have. Two years of research went into the writing of my book on the history of conspiracy theories and film. My research methods I would also recommend to you. Please seek out all sources of information about an issue you are interested in and not just the opinions that confirm your own biases and tell you what you want to hear. So when making up your mind about the truth of outlandish-sounding conspiracy theories, don’t just get your information from Alex Jones, YouTube videos, or ridiculous web pages like State of the Nation and the rest of their ilk.
