Fascinating Facts About Conspiracy Theories

The fact is that sometimes conspiracy theories start with facts but since the facts don't go far enough to prove anything, folks start improvising. But they call it theorizing. They make the theories sound so convincing that other folks start believing the theories instead of the the facts. And that's a fact you can rely on. P.S. Sometimes conspiracy theories don't even start with facts. They start with somebody's wild and crazy idea. Which is why you should wrap your mobile device in foil to prevent aliens from abducting you and transporting you back to their planet.

People are crazy!!!! It's quite similar to the fact that the virus doesn't exist and the Holocaust never happened.

I once did think I could be very cynical and start my own conspiracy website and use my crazy theories to make money. Just too lazy to do it!

The way the conspiracy theories circulate so fast, I almost thinking that all you have to do is type it up, present it on a monetized website where people can leave comments and then tweet the link. Go to sleep, wake back up and check your account to see how much money you've made. It's definitely a way to generate a passive income.

@cmoneyspinner As Terry Pratchett writes in 'The Truth', a lie can be half way around the world before the truth has got its boots on

@Ronrybs - I just published an article based on another article I read that I received via the eMail. When I quote or refer to others, if I can I try to let them know. I published my article and linked back to the person's article. I was going to contact them via social media to share the link. But when I found their Facebook profile they had a post saying that an article had been published using their name but it wasn't their article. I apologized to them and went back and corrected my article. Fortunately people don't hold their breath waiting for me to publish my content. Since I spoke the truth in my article, I wasn't really worried that my article had already made it half way around the world. LOL. The reality is ... I really wish somebody would call me out on that article and show me where what I wrote could not possibly be true. If it's true then America is trouble. The person accusing others of "deep state" seems to be the one in charge of the "deep state". Would somebody please say it ain't so?
