The last valuable content James Corbett put out was “Who is Bill Gates?”. Since then it’s been nothing but a self important exercise or fart smelling irrelevance.

Covid was a SCAD. That’s the best way to view it, it wasn’t a “mismanaged pandemic” it was a State Crime Against Democracy.

What has been mismanaged by the Fed heads, high prices and the economy.

What about, what about the biggest conspiracies of ALL TIME.

“The Russians are coming“
“The Commies are coming”
“Iraq has WMDs”
“The virus will decimate the world’s population”
“We can be trusted”

Excuse me.
I’m off for a big puke.

The “conspiracy theory” label hinders critical thinking and makes it difficult to pursue the truth.
But nowadays, it’s the opposite: by attaching conspiracy to actual truths, people are made to feel uncomfortable about getting closer to the real truth.
Most critics end up accepting actual conspiracy theories and, without realizing it, turn into conspiracy theorists themselves.
As a result, the real truth gets buried beneath fake truths, preventing the public from accessing it.
