    Illuminati believers were onto something, but now that it’s all been revealed they’re completely silent. Because, of course, the Illuminati were all on their side instead of being “godless satanic communists”.

      The illuminati conspiracy theorists were looking for a complicated narrative with magical bullshit to justify their hatred of Jewish people. The rest of us can plainly see that its just ridiculously easy for the billionaire class to pay off politicians for favorable legislation without the need for shadow puppets, MKUltra brainwashing and Jewish blood libel to explain everything.

          A long running antisemitic myth that Jewish people kidnap and murder Christian children and use their blood in rituals

        I’m fairly certain that all the ridiculous conspiracy theories are created to hide the real conspiracies in all the noises.

        As for illuminati, isn’t it basically just an ancient think-tank?

          I mean, we do know at this point that /pol/ and Q on 4chan wre an actual psyop by Bannon and Epstein to spread half nonsense conspiracy theories. So much of the bs spread through Q had just enough “if you squint hard enough they’re just telling you what they are doing” to make all the conspiracy theory shit work as well as it did. Like how there are so many references in the ao far released files to “pizza parties” as their codewords for ||raping children|| coincides in theming with Q directing psychos toward the basement of a random 1 story pizza parlor as the epicenter of a Clinton sex trafficking ring.

          I also do believe in some extent to the “every conspiracy theory is a psyop to distract from the real conspiracy.” Sort of like dead internet theory, there’s still live human beings online, just that there are also a ton of bots out there and its difficult to tell the difference between the bots and the genuine people.
