The Real Conspiracy Theorists Are the Ones Who Still Believe the Pravda Media
This post was originally published on this site

There is a reason why conspiracy theorists are generally disdained. We all know that some people look for wild explanations for easily explained phenomena, seemingly willing to believe the most outlandish things in order to buttress their unique view of how things work.

There are plenty of implausible conspiracy theories out there, and some of them are associated with the Right, while others are just idiosyncratic.
But the biggest and least talked about conspiracy theory that is far too outlandish for a rational person to believe is that the Pravda Media is interested in the truth, our government elite is looking out for our interests, that the government is not fundamentally corrupt, and that the people running our country are doing so with any amount of integrity.
With all that we know, Occam’s Razor says that all the madness we have lived through over the past decade or two are the result of very bad people doing very bad things for very bad reasons. They lie, create hoaxes, plunder our tax dollars, and have contempt for the ordinary citizen.
“The border is secure.” Yeah–then how to explain the 95% decrease in border crossings once Trump took over? “Joe Biden is sharp as a tack.” “You cannot get COVID if you get the vaccine.” “Kids are resilient” and won’t be hurt by school closures. Russia collusion. Steele Dossier. General Milley calling China. Censorship. Misinformation. 51 Intelligence officials.
The list of lies, harmful policy choices, exposed corruption, media malpractice is too long to list. How many “now it can be told” tell-alls from reporters are coming out–contradicting everything they told us when Biden was in office?

Gee, now that Biden is out of office Todd has changed his tune a bit. Is it because of an epiphany? No. He knew Biden was evil. But Biden was his guy until he wasn’t, and he lied. Case closed.
By now NOBODY has an excuse to believe that our elite is anything but a bunch of lying parasites who hate us and want to remake America in their image, and will do just about anything to accomplish that goal. This is not a conspiracy theory: the evidence is irrefutable.
It is the people who deny this who are the new conspiracy theorists. They have a view of the world, and no amount of contradictory evidence will shake them from it. They are the people who see two planes crash into the World Trade Center and then assert that government agents planted explosives in an hour and took the towers down with a controlled implosion to cover for Jewish terrorists.
It’s insane. Planes hit the towers, fires weakened the steel reinforcements, and buildings came down once the structure was weakened enough. No explanation is needed. Any decent engineer can explain it with provable facts.
Trusting the media is no different than the “Mossad or CIA blew them up” conspiracy theories. You have to go out of your way to create the most implausible explanations for obvious things.
A great example of how corrupt our elites are is the case of the Hunter Biden laptop and the censorship of its public revelation. As everybody knows, the FBI knew that the laptop was real, but told Twitter and Facebook it was disinformation that should be suppressed. And now an investigation by Catherine Herridge and Public’s Michael Schellenberger shows that an FBI agent even blurted out the fact that the laptop was real in a meeting with Twitter, causing panic and a coverup by his superiors.

In 2024, an FBI official admitted to House investigators that an FBI employee had inadvertently confirmed the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop to Twitter on a conference call the morning of October 14, 2020, the day the New York Post published a story about it.
“I recall that when the question came up, an intelligence analyst assigned to the Criminal Investigative Division said something to the effect of, ‘Yes, the laptop is real’,” testified the then-Russia Unit Chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force in a closed door transcribed interview.
“I believe it was an (Office of General Counsel) attorney assigned to the (Foreign Influence Task Force) stepped in and said, ‘We will not comment further on this topic.’”
For the first time, and with a change of administration, the FBI has now turned over to GOP House investigators the internal chat messages that show Bureau leadership actively silenced its employees.
The FBI, which had a special task force to counter foreign election interference, could have set the record straight by confirming the laptop was real and the subject of an ongoing criminal probe. Instead, FBI leadership allowed the false narrative about the laptop to gain momentum.
The FBI provided the chat messages to congressional investigators with heavy redactions.
Some of the redactions on the chats are marked “OGC AGC,” which appears to mean that they were made by the FBI’s Office of General Counsel and Associate General Counsel.
An individual whose name is blacked out, tells Elvis M. Chan, the San Francisco-based FBI special agent tasked with interacting with social media companies, there was a “gag order” on discussion of Hunter Biden’s laptop. In a separate exchange, Chan is told “official response no commen(t).”
In the chat, the FBI officials showed awareness that the laptop may have contained evidence of criminal activity.Asked Chan, “actually what kind of case is the laptop thing? corruption? campaign financing?”Another FBI employee responds, “CLOSE HOLD —” after which the response is redacted.To which Chan responds, “oh crap” appearing to underscore the serious nature of the probe, which included felony tax charges. Chan adds, “ok. It ends here”.In the same conversation, Chan is asked if “Anyone discussing that NYPost article on the Biden’s?” Chan responds, “yes we are. c d confirmed an active investigation. No further comment.” “C D” is likely shorthand for the FBI’s Criminal Division.Said another FBI employee, whose name was redacted by the Bureau, “please do not discuss biden matter.”We asked for a response from the bureau and the FBI employees identified in the chat messages. An FBI spokesman declined to comment.According to the IRS whistleblowers, DOJ prosecutors blocked standard investigative protocols that might have led to Joe Biden ahead of the presidential campaign.“There were a lot of overt investigative steps that we were not allowed to take because we had an upcoming election,” said Joseph Ziegler, the IRS case agent on the Hunter Biden probe.. “And it related to the president’s son. So not even the candidate.”The FBI chat is cryptic and the heavy redactions make it difficult to discern context. For example, an employee says to Chan that “[redacted] has a gag order from [redacted]… got checked by [redacted] had to backtrack – sorry!”
Another cryptic exchange came from Laura Dehmlow, the FBI employee who told House investigators that an FBI employee had accidentally confirmed that the laptop was real. “WTF(redacted) No COMMENT.”An employee whose name is also withheld wrote, “nope, just a domestic hit job, yay” to which Dehmlow responded, “Yup.”The exchange may be referring to the FBI’s knowledge that the laptop was authentic and not a foreign “hack and leak” or “Russian information operation,” as 51 former senior intelligence officials alleged at the time.The IRS whistleblowers said there was no basis for the statement from the former intelligence officials….

We know the FBI had the laptop for about a year before this, were investigating, yet they still reached out to social media companies to warn them off of allowing people to discuss the laptop story, telling them it was disinformation, likely from Russia.
There is no innocent explanation for this. None. Zip. Nada. You need to create a crazy map with cross-connecting lines and bizarre explanations for why this was not a coverup to help Joe Biden–about whom the FBI top brass told their investigators to ask no questions despite obvious connections between him and Hunter’s business interests.
It was, in short, using the power of the FBI to interfere in the election through unconstitutional censorship of speech.
Yet there are vast numbers of people who still believe the Pravda Media because it tells them what they want to hear. Imagine voting for a candidate who ran on sterilizing and mutilating children and taking gender-confused kids away from their parents. The media told you this was “life-saving” care, and you believed them.
Now, imagine learning that it was even worse than giving lobotomies to children. What mental gymnastics would you NOT go through to deny that you were complicit in human rights atrocities?
Multiply that by 1000–your belief that Democrats are compassionately led to the decline of America’s cities, with hundreds of thousands of deaths from fentanyl, a homeless crisis, increased violent crime, and all the dysfunction in America’s Blue cities. Would you want to admit that you were wrong and responsible for all that?

Especially if by waiting just 10 years, you can be assured that the world will end because of climate change. All the best people in the elite have told us so.
Under those circumstances, I wouldn’t want to risk admitting to myself or others that I trusted the wrong people and helped them commit atrocities. It would be like getting Fauci to admit he funded the creation of COVID.
So people believe the media because the alternative is worse.
But belief in the goodness of our elites is the equivalent of a conspiracy theory. Occam’s Razor shows us that the disasters we are dealing with are intentional. The hijacking of USAID for left-wing causes was intentional. The use of “color revolution” tactics on Americans was intentional.
If you believe Fox News and Republicans concocted all this evidence to fool Americans, you are nuts. It’s there for all to see. It is not, as the media would try to have you believe, “cheap fakes.”
Men landed on the moon. the towers came down because planes crashed into them, and the transnational elite is evil. If you still believe the lies and hoaxes, it is because you have a screw loose or don’t want to face reality.
