UNLOCKED -- Myth of the Month 20: Conspiracy Theories -- pt. 1
Revealed after 1 year behind paywall -- Where do conspiracy theories come from? Why do people believe them? What do they mean? Did the CIA drug people with LSD against their will? Is Queen Elizabeth a reptilian?
In this first half our discussion, we consider the merits and pitfalls of conspiracy theories, trace the history and evolution of the conspiratorial tradition from rumors about lepers in the 1300s to Alex Jones and Q-Anon. This is it: the most thorough, fair, and impartial examination of conspiracy theories that you will ever find anywhere.

@2:20 Funny thing is, the controversy tends to be one individual whom has navigated the vast intricacies of a specific topic and the other individual whom has heard some other moron talking about something that they also have invested little or no time doing the due diligence, that is neccessary if one wants to involve themselves in a logocal debate. But, no.... Instead, they repeat general phrases that are identical to what can be heard in any kindergarten classroom between two toddlers who are upset because one of them drew a pink dinosaur and the other one says it's a flamingo, not a dinosaur. For anyone that finds themselves being called a conspiracy theorist, an easy and typically successful way to shut the toddler up is to point out that all progression and innovation start from a theory and that their inability to have original thoughts, means that they will never be a contributor.
Thank You for taking on the ineffable; History will repeat itself until we re-member the Truth. The goal of education Is to teach us How to Think 🧮 NOT what to think. Question the history taught by institutions that have something to lose when You choose to Free Your Mind. 💜🌀✨⚖️

The name "Conspiracy Theory" is a label that has a sordid history... cancel culture was derived from that label and many other name calling division tactics. Truth of the matter in question is irrelevant when lines have been drawn and camps formed. Just a theory though...
I actually really enjoyed this as an opinion. You touched on all things important to me. Protecting our God self is important. Thank you for your words.
This is a fun comment section 😂
You quoted a book by Nilus that I cannot find in our “free” world. The Great Within the Small, The coming Antichrist and Satan’s rule on earth. I keep finding The Protocols….but not the book with Satan ruling in the title. Where can I find it? Please provide source? Not about the book…but the actual book. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find books these days and this concerns me. The harder it is to find..the more I want to read it!! Thank you!

All I could find available online was this condensed precis in German -- tau.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/delivery/972TAU_INST:TAU/12261218280004146 It is unlikely that anyone has translated it into English. This post on an Eastern Orthodox blog suggests that a new edition had been issued in Russian by 2015 -- www.pravmir.com/can-you-imagine-we-will-be-martyrs/ As for finding a complete copy in any language, you would probably have to talk to a professional archivist or paid researcher to track it down.
The Great Seal contains two messages. The Eagles side was to the present 200 years ago. The pyramid is to the Future which is us today. Does anybody know what the message to us is? Let me know if you think you know. I haven't heard of anybody that has deciphered it yet.

It is not that difficult to read the message but what it says is quite shocking. I understand that they couldn't say this to the people that were living back then and they did not have enough knowledge to decipher the message. I took it as a challenge and enjoyed deciphering it. I found out the founding forefathers were ahead of their times. They were even ahead of most people living today. I challenge you to read it, let me know.
Replace conspiracy theoriest with the term free thinker. They are not theories they are factual criminal acts. Being brushed off by calling it theories .

listen to the lecture. They are not being "brushed off"
You do realize that as of late a lot of things that were considered "conspiracy theories" (especially over the last 3yrs) actually ended up being factual...just sayin

Exactly. The coincidence theorists dont want people to question let alone have an analysis on what is right in front of our faces.

Come now! You should be more honest. Machiavelli is talking about coup d'etats where a single slip of information could be fatal. If he wanted to talk about an incident like the myth of the moon landing he would have compared it to something like the Eleusinian Mysteries. In which open absurdity can be propagated for generations.
You lost ne at the end . Protect the kids
After listening to Billy Carson's podcasts I found this one boring and uninteresting. Just a bit of food for thought. Cheers.

the term can be used for blade weapons as well as firearms. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/holster By contrast, a "sheath" in only the covering, not the carrying apparatus. www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sheath
So glad I saw this .. Basically there’s never been a single conspiracy in the history of humanity.. so any mention and account thereof have simply been baseless conspiracy theories.. Thank you so much for illuminating these holy grails of wisdom .. truly truly humbling !!!! 🫡
