Actually, Candy, you do know the truth. When evaluating any conspiracy theory, you just have to simplify. For any conspiracy theory to be true. three things have to be true as well:
1) The shadow organization/cabal/gang/whatever has to have been operating in total secrecy for however long the conspiracy theory is said to have been in effect, BUT
2) Neither its operations nor the effects thereof have been detected by anyone up until NOW, or if the effects are manifest, they've been attributed to something or someone else, HOWEVER
3) The intrepid sleuth who is "reporting" this theory has, against all odds and at great peril to himself, unmasked this conspiracy for all to see...even though the perpetrators of the conspiracy would surely have him killed. Because that's what the Deep State does.
OR.....
It's just a bunch of hooey.
I employ Occam's Razor, a delightfully useful tool, and so should you.
Kevin, I would put a bet on #1 and #2. I don't know about #3. But thanks for the list.
Yes, I know about Occam's Razor, very good to apply when something seemingly outlandish is being touted. Such as "Aliens are infiltrating my house through my wall sockets."
Just this morning my house creaked, and truthfully every time that happens it gives me the creeps. But I know there are more simple explanations for that creaking, like the house is older, changing weather, maybe even squirrels in the attic.
