I now consider researching conspiracy theories to be a hobby of mine. Of course, as a hikki, this information is of literally no use to me whatsoever, and I do not have the charisma to "educate" others. It is simply a pastime.
Many people act like simply researching these very alternative ideas is damaging in and of itself. Popular on wizchan youtuber named "K9 Aversion" recently announced she will no longer be creating content simply because people among her fanbase were discussing 5G towers and anti-vaxx ideas within her communities. Discussion alone is so offensive? Why? I do not even believe many of the ideas proposed myself and just enjoy thinking about them.
Because of these extreme reactions, I feel it necessary to give this disclaimer. Again, I do not necessarily believe the things proposed in this thread but rather enjoy thinking about it.

Please do not discuss theories that are political in nature in this thread. I don't want it to be deleted, although I find them interesting as well.

Some examples I've been thinking about lately:
- Alien abductions are real, however they differ from the normalfag idea of an alien abduction in that real abductions occur spiritually and not physically. And these abductions are NEVER to your benefit and you leave very unhealthy and emotionally damaged. They happen during the sleep normally, however sometimes they can happen while awake and when this happens it's similar to a date rape drug– you have a 2-5 hour blank spot in your memory when you "wake up" and have a feeling of general unease.

- The extension of the flat earth theory which claims the entire sky is a hologram, and sometimes that no planets except Earth exist. There are many youtube videos that document sky hologram "glitches".
- Alternatively (not flat earth related), that the sky is itself a giant living organism and that it sometimes sends shards of itself down to attack or observe people (they look like blue blankets and fly at great speeds.)

- You can fall through the ground like a video game glitch and get stuck in an infinite void on certain parts of the planet.

- Dinosaurs existed up until the early 1900's as evidenced by dinosaur tracks on the top layer of the earth that are way too well preserved to be from 60,000,000 years ago.

- Some gnostic wizards think that if they become spiritually elevated enough that they can cease ingesting food of any kind and live healthily off of sunlight, positive thoughts and positive vibrations sent from other people alone, and never have to eat a physical meal ever again.

Just some examples of non-political theories, you do not have to discuss these in particular.

Weather engineering is real
MKUltra never ended, it somewhat works and still used amongst certain demographics
Plastics are turning kids trans
Probably only 1/10 of the famous school shootings by mentally ill young people were homegrown, at most. They all had glowie handlers and were trained, guided, or just used as a fall guy.
Aliens aren't real. The globe is real.
Autistic men are the most at risk adult demographic that no one want's to talk about protecting.
The internet is completely botted and astroturfed beyond recognition of a human. It's amazing how alien human conversations online are now.
Quantum Computing is impossible
The same organization has been running the US since at least the Clinton era, call them Illuminati for short.
They can erase your memories, but not read them. They can split your personality. They can cause you pain at a distance, and speak into your skull. They can devalue currency, they can have you murdered and let the city buy your house, they can kidnap your kids and sell them.
All smart phone cameras are always listening and sending data and information about you. They profile technologists and hobbyists and avoid the ones with the capability to check technically.
They arbitrarily kidnap and torture traveling citizens. They drone citizens.
They can engineer specific feelings and experiences into the new acid

>Autistic men are the most at risk adult demographic that no one want's to talk about protecting.

This, autistic men always get used for the things they invent such as the internet and games or to do complex tasks like coding and once normies find a way for everyone to use or do these things they essentially replace and bully autists out of their own turf with things like feminism etc. this happened with the internet, gaming and currently they are trying to do the same with coding but they keep failing on that one because they are hardly able to replace the skills but still they write articles about how "succubi are left out of coding" and how "misogynistic" it is when its actually something that anyone could learn at home. Autists always get the smoke despite not hurting anyone while normies get praised even if they are shitty people.

No one cares about autists because they are low social status even if they have money but everyone depends on the things they come up with.

Do they need to? I think they can do it in a 15 seconds tiktok video, they don't need to go far.

This is my problem right now. All these structures and elaborations are not needed. I got kinda of lost after everything actually happened, and it was all much less spectacular than all hypothesis and speculations. People were expecting stuff like "government projecting images of Jesus with aliens in the sky to install a big world tyranny", and how did it turn out? "Guys, give up your rights or you get the flu". Also, don't mind all the medium and small business that went bankrupt, international corporations will take over the space that was left. And take these suspicious substances into your blood, it's mandatory. Now get ready for the reset. Back in Will and Grace times they could change people's opinions with a series, now they can do it with a social media post. All that is left in the conspiracy community is masturbation.

You're being silly! What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context.

But you're absolutely right. When people read about MK Ultra, the drug trials get and got everyone's attention. The more interesting experiments of MK Ultra were more mundane: social and psychological manipulation. MK Ultra was never about acid and truth serums with chemicals, it was about gaslighting and brainwashing with words. They realized that content moderation was far more potent than any drug or censorship. Whose messages that resonated with the regime were encouraged. Case in point: nobody ever hears or cares about the mundane psychological experiments of MK Ultra, they're all """distracted""" by the acid experiments.

Once these finer details of control were tweaked, this was expanded upon and extended generously with other Deep State projects, like when DARPA funded Lifelog, which become Facebook. Now through the major tech companies they use these methods on a subtle, continuous basis on the entire populace. A fact which has been corroborated by the Intercept now. Only now, their control is so deep, so vast, that the Intercept needs not even be censored explicitly. They simply get slid so that nobody even sees them. The future is not a boot, stomping on humanity, for all eternity. The future is funny cat pictures that make everyone question what a boot even is.

To add to what this Anonymage said, the Intercept itself is far from free of suppression of information that is a little too inconvenient, on both sides. For example, they censored their own founder on the Hunter Biden story to the point where he resigned. Like the Guardian, the Intercept is allowed a considerable measure of the illusion of freedom, but they are nonetheless controlled opposition rather than real opposition, because at the end of the day they still need a license from the government to operate.

>My Resignation From The Intercept
>The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles.
>The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, the candidate vehemently supported by all New-York-based Intercept editors involved in this effort at suppression.

To see how much unnamed actors are bothered by the Intercept's DHS streamlined social media takedown exposure >>63136 https://theintercept.com/2022/10/31/social-media-disinformation-dhs/ take the case of 28chan.org. The story is a technology news story so it was posted on the technology board. The board's standard for relevance, from its catalog: (a) "this is a cute succubus" 29/05/22 (b) "Fuck fuck" 28/05/22. The DHS story was put up on 11/09/22 (Wed) >>63136 and deleted and permabanned with reason "bot" on the 16th. To judge for yourself whether they believe their own reason, the librivox JSless browsing script https://28chan.org/board/g/res/111.html#593 is posted from the same IP, and this is available in the IP history to the mod. Naturally, the standard smears against that IP will follow like clockwork – you can't expect anything else.

So the sliding behavior mentioned by this Anon >>63202 is sometimes ramped up to overt suppression, even if it outs the site. Basically if you want to check how fed or how free a site is, you can post the DHS exposure in a relevant section in a disciplined tone and check the reaction: no suppression / slide and distract / overt suppression.

The conspiracy theory that this post is relevant to, just to be extra clear, is that fringe, slower-than-wizchan sites are no longer allowed to pass under the fed radar. Inconvenient information is removed even from fringe sites when they happen to be fed sites, even when this outs the site in the process.

Of course since the state is a Good Boy™ they made them pay peanuts: less than $10 million per state. Meanwhile:
>Location tracking can help tech companies sell digital ads to marketers looking to connect with consumers within their vicinity. It is another tool in a data-gathering toolkit that generates more than $200bn in annual ad revenue for Google, accounting for most of the profits pouring into the coffers of its corporate parent, Alphabet, which has a market value of $1.2tn.

Of course since the Guardian is a Good Boy™ they cannot be allowed to say a single word about less than $10 million per state being peanuts.

> November 8, 2022

> For all of Apple’s talk about how private your iPhone is, the company vacuums up a lot of data about you. iPhones do have a privacy setting that is supposed to turn off that tracking. According to a new report by independent researchers, though, Apple collects extremely detailed information on you with its own apps even when you turn off tracking, an apparent direct contradiction of Apple’s own description of how the privacy protection works.


> The iPhone Analytics setting makes an explicit promise. Turn it off, and Apple says that it will “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether.” However, Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry, two app developers and security researchers at the software company Mysk, took a look at the data collected by a number of Apple iPhone apps—the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, Books, and Stocks. They found the analytics control and other privacy settings had no obvious effect on Apple’s data collection—the tracking remained the same whether iPhone Analytics was switched on or off.

'Finally, Some Justice': Fracking Company to Pay Millions for Poisoning Town's Water
"This case proves once and for all that drilling and fracking contaminated our drinking water," said one Dimock, Pennsylvania resident.
November 30, 2022

Environmental justice advocates celebrated Tuesday when a fracking company accepted responsibility for poisoning drinking water supplies in Dimock, Pennsylvania. "Dimock residents have known for 14 years that Cabot Oil & Gas is guilty of contaminating our water."

Nearly 14 years after a well explosion on New Year's Day 2009 revealed to Dimock residents that methane had percolated into their groundwater, Cabot Oil & Gas pleaded no contest to 15 criminal charges, including nine felonies. The notorious driller, now owned by Coterra Energy, was featured in the 2010 HBO documentary Gasland.

In addition to taking full responsibility for destroying the small rural town's drinking water supplies for the first time—following more than a decade of denial and alleged harassment of residents—the Houston-based company agreed to pay $16.3 million to build new public water infrastructure and to cover the costs of delivering clean water to those who have been harmed for the next 75 years.

‘Gasland’ driller will pay millions for new water system in Dimock
Cabot Oil and Gas admits responsibility for contaminating drinking water wells
November 29, 2022

It began with an explosion on New Year’s Day 2009. Soon, residents of the tiny rural community of Dimock discovered dangerous levels of methane gas had seeped into their private water wells.

Almost 14 years later, after setting off a series of events that would make the village synonymous with anti-fracking campaigns worldwide, Cabot Oil and Gas pleaded no contest to 15 criminal charges, including nine felonies. It marks the first time Cabot took responsibility for destroying drinking water supplies.

The company agreed to pay $16.29 million to Pennsylvania American Water to build a public water system that will provide clean water to the impacted people, along with a pledge the company will cover water bills for 75 years. In the meantime, the funds will pay for individual filtration systems and bottled water.
