Folk #1: Over the weekend, a little band of friends were discussing conspiracy theories. Not to get specific (I am not a conspiracy-theorist at heart), the conspiracies were various, wide-ranging, head-spinning, all consuming, ridiculous & sort of funny. Turns out many of the most prominent conspiracy theories actually link up with each other. They span decades, cities, agencies, bad actors, prominent, famous people & substances, agencies, entities & personalities from all walks of life: JFK, Monroe, RFK, Manson, LBJ, Epstein, Elvis, LSD, Jack Ruby, UFO's, Oswald, Drug-therapy, Debbie Reynolds, Trump, Senators, ketamine, Reps, Space Aliens, Governors, KKK, Nazis, Nixon, cocaine, CIA, Ford, Hitler, Viet Cong, Mossad, Arab Sheiks, Castro, Lindbergh, WMD, Musk, Space X, paranomoral phenomena, JFK Jr, Russia, NSA, Miltiary Industrial Complex, Fascists, Bush/Cheney Torture Regime, Butler, Putin, ESP, Lincoln, Gitmo, Pharmaceuticals, Iraq, Black Ops, Crypto, Disinfo, AI, Mafia, Black Sites, Cloud-seeding, Abu Graib, Bin Laden, Space Lasers, Hypnotism, KGB, the Illuminati, military-grade weapons, Secret Societies, Zombies, Vampires. Quite the over-amped, snaky, shaky edifice of relationships. My conclusion? There is ONE VAST CONSPIRACY: Folks (bad actors) with money & power trying to keep & grow their wealth at any cost, doing their damnedest to get away with whatever they can get away with to the detriment of everyone else on the planet. Bullet holes, dead bodies, strangled dreams, broken promises, accumulating and growing into a great Tower of Conspiratorial Babel, an edifice built on the bones & exploded hearts of the innocent; dark deeds, deadly lies, brutal skullduggery. Yep. The rest of us are just the marks, the saps, the doofusses, walking around like holy fools wondering "What just happened?!"
