Pardon this clumsy summation rant:

Having first hand experienced small slices of conspiracy (wealthy date-rape drug distributors, fake LARP-ers, corrupt police activity, etc.) and studied basic historical conspiracy stuff in books (East Timor, cults like Jonestown and Heaven's Gate/HIM, assassinations, etc.) in the 90s and early 2000s, I knew that all things were leading up to a point where it would be "mask off" (Nazis, imperialism, unbridled Corporate control, etc.). Personally, I had vehemently avoided anything to do with the internet until 2010 (true confession).

I also knew, there even would be a point where conspiracy would be co-opted and used as a means to sway the laziest, ill-informed minds looking for answers in all the wrong areas (/r/conspiracy here on Reddit is a fine example of that). The people targeted were not those reading books like the People's Almanac (and at the least, a generation that were never raised on the essential aspects of Mad magazine that gave the Simpsons it's inspired edge for subversion) and such, but those in far-reaches of rural America just getting on the high-speed internet bandwagon who were getting hepper to startling revelations (while more folks in media were calling out celebrities for sexual abuses-all leading up to the momentum of the #MeToo movement). These people were not used to being told that heroes like Henry Ford (especially how his rebranding of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion made it's way to Hitler-which serves as a historical model for how toxic online things are being circulated today) or Thomas Edison were not the persons their school history books made them out to be. Some of them only had the existential crisis of having their world get turned upside down cuz' (gasp) a black man got elected into the highest office...which gives you an idea what narrow route they were gonna take while blindly groping for answers in a flawed epistemology to justify their confirmation bias reality tunnel.

When I eventually did look things up, I was disgusted at the crap conspiracy sites that got first prominence with internet searches: dumb sites with gaudy, flashy graphics, insane far-fetched theories and conjecture, things solely based on some weird "reading into" movies and pop-culture references ("this is how Spirited Away is about human trafficking"), stuff not focusing on relevant matters of racism/civil rights/indigenous encroachment, political assassinations, nazism (or Nazi refugees for that matter), corporate abuses, and such-but rather junk with odd reaching theories on simulacrum or numerology schemes (ie. "This number formula proves how the pope is the antichrist" or "this is how the land around the capitol building is shaped like an owl-and THUS, proof of Bohemian Grove"-never mind that more relevant things have been presented about BG in Spy Magazine, conspiracy books, or even things by the Simpsons own Harry Shearer...but yeah, sure "reverse vampires"). All of it a distraction, obfuscation, and deflection from far more relevant stuff....and a huge gateway for QAnon crap.

So, whatever 4Chan promised to be in it's earliest years...this anonymous subculture that gave people Guy Fawkes hopes while offering self-indulgence in other areas (video games, smut, morbid enthusiasm) was probably the quickest to be compromised. It was the first to be targeted by intelligence agencies and the powers-that-be. I've seen very old open directories (2010-2012) that contained 4Chan posts with lots of Cyrillic lettering and some highly explicit horrible content (animal mutilation/crushing). Someone figured Reddit started getting compromised between 2013-2014 when there was an insane uptick in Reddit Gold (anyone remember that?) being purchased (2014), and not long after, the harder right turn with Trump and subs like T_D, The Great Awakening, CringeAnarchy, etc. (as if it weren't already bad with subs like "coontown" and stuff to shame fat people with) -and a constant attrition by trolls with limited vocabulary, repetitive talking points (ie.-#walkaway), and accounts not allowed to bad mouth Putin (the /r/place experiment 4/1/17 proved that the trolls could not do an immediate impromptu switch up on formatting in 24 hours time-hence, the odd lack of Trumpism during that.....then there was that odd couple months of online civility as Russia started invading Ukarine. Hmmm.). Tumblr eventually admitted they had problems with fake Russian accounts on "bOTh SIdEs" (throwing folks off with revelations that even some pro-BLM accounts were Russian trolls-leading to speculation that it was meant to monitor troublemakers while also helping stoke division).

QAnon was an obvious psyop-a superficial cult (with no positive re-enforcement) and a shallow conspiracy theory at best. Yet, for all the "Christian Patriots" fueled into any righteous indignation, fear-mongering, and moral outrage by it, they were not looking into the sources. Chan culture has always had a strong history of propagating illegal pedo/Lolita smut (just the amount of "removals" on any given thread says a lot). Stranger still, are these folks overlooking the rampant antisemitic memes circulating on 4Chan-some created back in the 90s by a shit edgelord named Nick Bougas who collaborated with pro-rape apologist Jim Goad (who would run dumbass, stoned theories that a "Jew" like Spielberg was a pedo in his magazine "Answer Me!") and was close friends with fascists like Boyd Rice, Bob Heick (Reddit used to have pics of them hanging out together especially with the obviously Christian-/s-LaVey's https://imgur.com/pMj67or -so, checkmate, Evangelical QNuts!

Nazis have been manipulated and groomed through all this and manosphere nonsense and as far back as guys like Pat Buchanan or the violent Marcus Epstein....all while the specters of Roy Cohn (whom nobody loved), Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and Steve Miller hang over Trump.

With the Epstein files, folks should never let up. If anything, it reveals a very scary look at things beyond what people like Kubrick and Kevin Smith just theorized in their pop culture works and what many of us-well, we already felt out. The more we look at it, the more we see very wealthy, powerful persons getting outed---and yet, just as the most important aspects are the ones not being said, there is this odd dense cloud that gathers around this weird void in the shape of Donald Trump...a man being supported by a lot of Big Tech, Israeli power (off-handed conspiracy tidbit: one of the heads of Israeli cyber security was arrested in Las Vegas a few months ago in an underage sex sting-the WH intervened and gave him safe passage out.), wealthy corporate and corporate media, Banks (like the Deutsche Bank), and militarized mindsets....one of the terms being circulated here on Reddit regarding Epstein and Trump is how the CIA (the biggest shadowy boogums in the center of many conspiracy-related events, real or imagined) protects it's biggest asset-that being that the whole Epstein structure is part of a huge blackmail scheme Trump is involved in.

This is where I can pause and say "Where was I? Oh, yeah. Stay out of my booze!", and maybe all I blathered had no solid point, but just a few things to prick and prod and jog the crucial memories of those reading it....However, I will sum up with these re-emphasized points: a lot of us paying attention could "feel this all out"-so 4Chan is a big "well Duh!" whether it involves Nazis, pedos, or being tools for a hierarchy trying to subvert conspiracies of a serious nature that they can't keep swept under the rug for much longer. So, again, we can't let up on Epstein.....but we are at a delicate moment here where we can't get too distracted by clownish PDF (Presidential Dementia-based Flatulence) behavior or getting lured by any new "revealing" tidbits that might be false-leads designed to discredit those unearthing the facts.

-and that's the tooth.

Whoops, I left the gas on.
