that the coronavirus is designed to "make Trump look bad."

I don't understand why they think a virus' existence affects orangey's reputation. It seems they think he is deity-like, and the state of humanity is his job performance review.

But, he is and he does.

If he was capable of dealing with it properly then not only would this actually make him look good but it might not cost as many lives as it might end up costing.

The Chinese spent months bio-engineering it to do that and they sprayed 5G on their people in order to destroy their immune systems so that it would spread here, specifically to hurt Trump.

Meanwhile the US, coincidentally, bio-engineered the same exact strain, somehow, to destroy the Chinese economy and also implant thought control genes into our minds.

It is uncanny that both countries would do that, but it is really the Globalists who are behind it all, anyway.

That's the Conspiracy Report for today. Tune in tomorrow when we will have at least a dozen more.

That stuff is going full mainstream. You don't need censorship or as much propaganda anymore these days in order to bring on a totalitarian regime here. Increasing numbers of people are just eating up conspiracy theories like potato chips with dimwit dip and end up censoring themselves from fact finding or what's really going on.

That sounds like a sweet deal for today's more discerning dictators. You have to admit, they have access to the facts and if the people become less concerned with that, they make their own, custom dystopia with just a little help from the Great Leaders.

thank you very much.

Conspiracy conjuring gets so complicated, with so many triggering details, while the truth is so simple and unadorned.

Thanks for noting that. True.

Also, their are and have been bona fide conspiracies, but in most cases they leave a trail of evidence that can be corroborated. In this case, we are getting rumors, hearsay, gossip, opinion and a tendency toward extreme gullibility: "I don't know, sounds right to me."

It would be fine with me if people spend their time trying to find out what color the Easter Bunny REALLY is, (I'm going with purple) but it is very dangerous and detrimental when it becomes a matter of encouraging anti-intellectualism, discrediting all science and celebrating ignorance along the way. That's a democracy killer.
