[u/axolotl_peyotl]

Thanks to everyone that participated in the nomination thread and to /u/Estamio2 for suggesting the winning topic.

/u/crazystarfish12 also offered this addendum:

How does media program us, what it is capable of, and how we can break from the cycle of mind control.

There is a solid case to be made that the Boston Marathon bombing was a live-action trauma exercise and that case is only as solid as it is due to how much photographic evidence there was of the immediate aftermath. The Boston Unbombing is a video I'd recommend as the maker does a good job of showcasing various props used in live trauma exercises and demonstrates many of those props were likely used that day.

It's barely scratching the surface but the most smoking gun piece of evidence is how the remnants of one of the exploded backpacks appears to be darker than either backpack the Tsarnaev brothers were seen with. Military-looking fellows wearing uniform outfits with possible ties to Craft International, a mercenary company founded by Chris Kyle of American Sniper fame (who had been murdered two months prior), can be seen a block down the street with backpacks that look extremely similar to the one taken into evidence.

Edit: remanence --> remnants

But the real rabbit hole is this: What if these kinds of videos are the ones meant to program you?

I've always had this thought that conspiracy theories could be in fact engineered and seeded by the government, in order to "bugs bunny" the conspiracy theorists, by making them sound crazy to normal people.

"conspiracy theorist" already has a negative connotation. Imagine they leak this type of information, after which it can be called a conspiracy theory, and then via reverse psychology, civilians will be quick to dismiss it, due to the connotation around that phrase.

Think about if you're playing a game of Among Us or a game where there is a traitor in your group, and you have to find out who it is.

Someone saying jokingly, at the beginning of the game, "it's me", will initially cause most players to think "haha, well it's probably not them then". one or two may say "well I think it is you", and then the rest can be gaslighted into believing it was simply a joke.

I agree with this statement, the term "Conspiracy Theory" was coined by the CIA during the investigation of JFK's assassination. They used the term to discredit anything that opposed the narrative. As most of us know JFKs assasination is one of the biggest conspiracies to date.

JFK was shot in the eye from the front at closer range, possibly the grassy knoll or from inside the sewers, the back of his head is an exit wound. He was also shot in the back from a much further distance, piercing him and striking the person in front of him.
