Ever since the History channel only showed bullshit and create a more superstitious audience I really do believe promoting superstitions and expanding folk cults around crypthid, ghost, psychic, and promoting worldviews of supernatural over the natural prevents people from understanding the world and isolating them from the levers of power. Believing in impossibly strong governments and impossible to understand enemies leaves the working class dis-empowered and afraid. This effectively creates mass psychosis among the populous. Spree shooters are reacting to their loss of privilege and how they are misinformed that an individual with a gun killing people can somehow liberate the world from some impossible enemy. Actual gun violence only reinforces the horror and encourages people to disengage from knowing what is going on.

I suspect the US government is funding or subsidizing this psyop, but it could very well be the institutions of capitalism finding a way to scare people as a marketing ploy. But why would the government not try to make a profitable market to consolidate their power? It's self funding!

Epstein did not kill himself

MLK was killed by US intelligence

Malcolm X was killed by US intelligence (or at least they instigated it)

COVID was lab-produced by the United States and the Pentagon. The US has historically used bioweapons both through wars (Korean War) and covertly (Cuba dengue epidemic) [those are just two examples].

In its desperate drive to compete against a fast rising China, the United States (DoS + Pentagon + CIA) preferred to sabotage world economy and hurt the two countries through a global pandemic than to let China outlast them very quickly. They could be seeking for more time to react to the rise of China.

The Foreign Ministry of China called in 2021 for investigations in the United States biological weapon facility Fort Detrick and the University of North Carolina, to which the United States never gave a response.

From January to August 2019, a few months before the pandemic, the United States ran a joint exercise called Crimson Contagion to test the capacity of the federal government to respond to a pandemic from China. It described the virus as a "respiratory virus [that] began in China". The Times of Israel reported that the CIA alerted Israeli and NATO officials of a pandemic in China in November 2019, a month before China fist detected the virus and sent the information to the WHO (end of December 2019).

I personally like it because it has a sick twisted irony to it. America, once again killed millions, but mostly their allies and their own citizens, while the enemy nations took it pretty well.

[–] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It has "culled", if you'll excuse the term, the proletariat. Who were the main victims? Those who couldn't afford medical aid or even a sick leave. Meanwhile, the geriatrics in charge somehow get healed easy peasy

[–] TarkovSurvivor@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

the people running crackerland don't care about their citizens and China hate is up multiple times, they probably see it as a win nonetheless.

Not to mention the biolabs in Ukraine and going all the way back to SARS and the native genocide. Very likely

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

SARS? Is there evidence that that was developed in a lab?

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My main issue with this is that COVID hurt the west much more than it did China and surely US officials would have known that would happen, right? I don't doubt that they're depraved enough to have developed undisclosed biological weapons tho.

[–] sudojonz@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The US doesn't seem to accurately anticipate blowback in their schemes, I don't see why Covid would be any different. Take the "current situation" for example, they thought sanctions would cripple Russia and oust Putin and they have done neither. As well the sanctions clearly backfired on the EU and US.

CIA is behind drug trafficking from Latin America to the US, and they use the money as an untraceable fund for their most covert operations. Edit: I was wrong and it is well confirmed that this happens

Capitalism is responsible for iPad kids - YES, I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS.

JFK was killed by US intelligence

That NAFO is a CIA/Pentagon psyop.

Nazis in the Baltic States and in Ukraine are being purposefully promoted by the USA/NATO intelligence and media machine as a goading tactic towards Russia.

I don't think that is "unconfirmed"

Osama Bin Laden's body was not buried at sea

[–] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's several ones about bin Laden death, probably the one linked to another one, that Osama never stopped being CIA agent (this i could believe as in topic) and they killed him much earlier to quiet him, then used the chase for dead man as excuse to do more imperialism.

Princess Diana was intentionally assassinated

[–] muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is very believable, but I'd love the juicy details for it.

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

She was a threat to the status qou of the monarchy, as she was brazenly becoming the face of the royal family with soaring public appeal, completely overshadowing the Queen. She had also deeply embarrassed the entire royal family with her justified divorce from her ghoul of a husband, along with her affair with a "common person".

In essence, she became an annoyance and a threat. It was for everyone's benefit in the royal family and British government that she be quietly swept aside.

The moon landing was faked

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The Soviet Union would have had an insane field day if the moon landing was faked. They would have utterly embarrassed the US if given the absurdly juicy chance that was a faked moon landing.
