Conspiracy theorist is an inflated term. Most of us, like 95%, are students of conspiracy pundits who in turn analyze conspiracy theorists. What we, rank and filers, think and write is seldom original. At best, we're still pondering possibilities, not breaking new ground. Sometimes we get off a good quip or two. Might even connect a couple of dots. Thumbs up, brothers and sisters! Such efforts reinforce others to stay the course.

When I think about actual theorists, I notice even when they are original like David Icke, they may be wrong, deluded in their originality. Nobody's going to get it all right. Just trying to keep the discourse real, not black pill anybody.

Years ago, the CIA began using the "conspiracy theory" comments in many MSM articles to discount what they didn't want people to report.

They still do it because it works on a populous that is lazy and dumbed down.

Yeah, they injected the term into public discourse as a putdown, but over time it's worn out its welcome, lost its sting. People in our community don't mind the branding and the lackadaisical populace know they're going to hear something more entertaining from us than the usual crud.
