I just had a thought like “What if some UFO aduction experiences people claim to have are actually people being kidnapped by the CIA” 
The kind of stories I’m thinking about often go like: “I was driving on an empty road in the middle of nowhere. I saw a bright light,” and then either “I remember nothing but had lost time” or “I remember being experimented on by aliens and then put back in my car.”
My tinfoil hat side is thinking like, these stories started happening around the time the US admitted to experimenting with abuse, torture and psychoactive drugs in Project MK-Ultra. Alien abduction stories were the most prevalent during this time. (CW: Just a heads up. If you want to read the rest of this post or anything else about MK-Ultra, be warned that it’s pretty horrible, and involves some of the most disgusting torture I have ever read about. Death to America.)
Of the surviving documents released to the public about MK-Ultra, the CIA admits to: “kidnapping people it deemed “expendable” to undertake various types of torture and human experimentation on them. The prisoners were interrogated while being administered psychoactive drugs, electroshocked and subjected to extremes of temperature, sensory isolation and the like to develop a better understanding of how to destroy and to control human minds.”
Part of me wonders how many of these alien abduction stories are just people being kidnapped, drugged with powerful hallucinogens, experimented on and then released with the suggestion conditioned into their mind that it was aliens.
The most famous alien abduction story is that of Barney and Betty Hill, an interracial couple that were both civil rights leaders, definitely people that the CIA would want to fuck with, especially during rising tensions with the Soviet Union, the US government was suspicious of minorities and anyone interested in their rights.
the CIA backs and boosts absolute nonsense conspiracy theories like flat earth, tin foil hats, and Obama being a lizard to discredit the notion of conspiracy theory entirely
There IS evidence of that lol. All the domestic counter-intelligence and psyop point to exactly that. And they literally have memos saying they planned on turning the term “conspiracy theory” to mean “crazy nonsense”. Like actual documents saying: we’re doing this!
CIA literally created the UFO conspiracy and drove people to mental breakdowns making them chase lights in the desert for decades to give cover for weapons testing
I mean I wouldn’t say that…. They certainly helped push the most crazy and less credible people and stories. Also discrediting the more credible ones. But I have seen shit that cant be easily explained, and I’ve read and heard many more stories as well.
I think it’s part of their tactic. Just like the “evil pedo satanists” conspiracy, where actual regular evil pedos actually do run the world. Not for their pedophilia, or because of it, it’s still capitalism in the end. But like, push a crazy conspiracy to hide a real one y’know?
What did you see 0-0
I mean, I can tell you but you have to promise not to look at me like I’m crazy lol
Back in late 2020 I was living on the last floor of an old building with my girlfriend. We were getting ready to go to bed, which means my last cigarette of the day. So I went outside to a little area we had, like a miniscule terrace.
I was smoking and looking over to the dark horizon, to a bridge near our home. The clouds that day were REALLY weird. They completely blanketed the sky and were really low and dense. But the night was not that dark, almost with a brownish light.
Anyways, after a bit, I saw over the distance after the bridge a thing. It was far, but at first it looked like a bunch of black balloons floating. And the “balloons” got nearer and nearer.
I’m terrible at measuring distances, but when it was maybe 100-150m away (I won’t convert to American measures soz), it started to shift in a weeeird way. The small roundish forms that were circling each other (like balloons) started to gather into a single shape. When this happened I ran and screamed for my girlfriend.
I quickly went back to observe the “thing” and I saw the singular black blob continue to move closer. I could now see it wasn’t a shiny black sphere as I thought, it really looked more like a hole in the clouds. Like an endless black hole. It wobbled and shifted a bit, never a perfect sphere.
Soon after my girlfriend arrived (both of us silent, mouths opened just freaking out), the blob “spit” out a smaller sphere. The smaller sphere started to perfectly orbit the bigger blob. And both continued to move closer.
Eventually the two blobs were right above us, maybe 50m above. And THIS is where it starts to get really weird.
The bigger blob shifted shapes again. And it looked like a human. Head, arms and legs. Then the smaller blob became a smaller human shaped thing. To highlight, my girlfriend is much shorter than me. In any case, after they shifted into human shaped holes, they started to dance. They held hands and danced around in a circle. Honestly seemingly very happy.
The only thing on my mind at this moment was “this is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen”. I really think I was smiling.
After maybe a minute, the shapes stopped dancing. The bigger one seemed to look directly at us. And then it waved. I waved back. I felt this was maybe the most momentous moment of my life. But I looked back, at my girlfriend, and she was crying in shock. That brought me down real quick and I was worried for her. I tried to calm her down. Then I looked back at the shapes.
They looked defeated, arms and shoulders down. They slowly became spheres again, and the smaller one went “in” the bigger one. The now one sphere seemed to go up and up, slowly. But it really only looked like a small hole getting smaller. I kept looking at it for maybe 20 minutes as it disappeared completely.
I asked my girlfriend why she was so afraid at that moment, and she said she felt they were going to take me away. I think I kinda felt that as well… but they didn’t want to make her sad I guess.
Idk man, I really searched and researched for months after that. I still have absolutely no fucking clue what it was. I don’t think “aliens” in any way other than “non-human conscious intelligences”.
I meant that they created the concept of UFO conspiracy, the people researching UFOs were already there but CIA took advantage of them to discredit any sighting as ramblings of crazy conspiracy theorists
Going as far as keeping active contact and feeding “leaked information” with prominent UFO researchers, sending literal men in black to their doors, and orchestrating UFO contacts
Tbh most of this is shit I’ve picked up over the years from blog posts and youtube videos, but I’m like 75% certain this had actual sources, I’m just too high to verify anything
Ah we 100% agree then hahaahah
And yes, even the stuff picked up from getting high and falling into rabbit holes. Tbh, after sometime it gets kinda easy to spot bullshit and psyops.
I’m sure the truth about the phenomenon is not at all what the mainstream and even the “main” conspiracies portray it to be.
What I always go back to is the foo fighters and similar phenomena, crop circles and the nuke orbs. Those are the hardest to explain away imo, and I feel they mean something more than other shit.
But my personal experience also makes me think back to the ancient texts, the Vedas, ancient Egyptian and Sumerian texts etc. And idk, maybe the phenomenon is “angels and demons”. Or how I see it, weird non-physical or material stuff, in “higher” dimensions or consciousnesses. And not “aliens” with starships from other worlds.
The thing that gets me is how many US UFO sightings were made in the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War. There has to be at least some “what if the Soviets have superweapons” type of thinking there.
I think it has more to do with nukes tbh. The concentration of sightings around areas related to nukes is much greater (research facilities, test sites, where the nukes themselves are stored etc.).
Could you post a link to something on the nuke orbs you mentioned? I was not able to find anything that sounded similar from a quick search
You can search for “Robert Salas UFO” to start the rabbit hole, but basically there are a lot of military personnel that worked near nuclear facilities or even transported nukes that say orbs appeared and disassembled or deactivated them. Sometimes even doing this to missiles mid-flight during testing.
There was video of this, I remember seeing it years ago. I tried looking for it, but just found dead links to deleted YouTube videos…
I absolutely believe this. It’s a low cost move that pays huge dividends in convincing “smart” people that conspiracies never happen.

Since returning to reddit a few months ago after a hiatus of a few years I’ve definitely started to wonder. So much of that site is so circle-jerky, they just talk about the same shit over and over again. Is it because they’re just redditors, they’re bots, or is it a little of both?
The reason movie theaters switched from reel projection to digital projection was to undermine the projectors’ union since digital projection can just be automated.
Popular media whether it’s music or film or whatever is decided by studios and labels as opposed to organic popularity. (Obviously not all cases are true, but I feel there’s a lot of cases where it is true.)
music definitely. radio stations have always been paid to put songs on the air.
That 99.9% of the time social media “virality” is just admin from YouTube and TikTok manually choosing which of their favorite influencers are forced upon users. I’m not even talking execs here, just low-ranking code monkeys and paper pushers on a power trip.
That most Meta workers abuse their power and read users’ DMs. Pretty sure this has been confirmed, though not by Zuck and the gang—just random ex-employees. I knew a guy who worked for Facebook who my gut-instinct says was cyber-stalking me. He let a piece of really personal info about me slip during a convo. It wasn’t a dark secret, just something that I’d barely told anyone. I assumed that maybe my friend had told him, but she said she’d hardly spoken to him.

Imo, late-2000s YouTube was organic compared to what it’s become.
You know how cheap electronics (like a lot of Halloween decorations) specify not to use rechargeable batteries? I think that’s just a ploy by Big Battery to sell more batteries.
The nasal swab COVID-19 tests that are still somewhat affordable give false negatives waaaaaay more than they say
I’ve outsmarted scientists at their own game 20 times by now, they are no match for my inductive thinking and I don’t care about boasting about this
article from 2021 about how COVID+ rate in deer is 80x more than humans: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/11/10/1054224204/how-sars-cov-2-in-american-deer-could-alter-the-course-of-the-global-pandemic
the writers flagellate themselves over “how could deer be 80x more infected than humans?”
Common sense should tell you that deer are just bags of flesh like we are, so there’s no reason for this discrepancy
then somewhere in the article it unwittingly mentions that they were testing LYMPH NODES from deer that were shot by hunters
while the human data was from NASAL SWABSso the obvious conclusion here is that COVID sticks around in the organs much much longer than it does in the nose/throat. I suspected this in 2020 based on my symptoms and solidified it in 2021 based on this article, and it was proven in 2022
This means that the positivity rate in a geographic population is actually 80x larger than nasal swab data suggests
I had taken one a couple weekends ago because I was feverish in a way that was familiar to me from the last time I had COVID, and it came back negative so I was OK probably just the flu. Well, my whole family caught it and it was COVID after all.
Many such cases!
i’m convinced kurt cobain was transfem. for more on this, read the excellent piece kurt cobain will have his revenge on the straights
I made an offhanded comment about Kurt being trans in a transmasc subreddit once and it did mot go down well lol
lmao that is hilarious
I’m convinced the myth of getting ”enough” protein is perpetuated by the meat industry as well as the food industry in general. You still hear the ”I must eat muh meat to get muh protein” line constantly and the shelves of your local grocery store are probably packed with different ”protein” snacks, even though it’s not that hard to get enough protein from plant-based sources and you probably don’t need to supplement protein unless you work out like Dwayne Johnson.
I mean if you’re trying to gain weight and muscle simultaneously in a healthy manner (so without resulting to “dirty bulking” and still doing cardio) you’re going to need to eat a lot of food, including a ton of protein. Not as much as some crazed bodybuilder throwing meat and eggs in a food processor or the 1g per pound of bodyweight myth, but around 1.8g of protein per Kg of total lean mass that you currently have on the high end, and then adjust once you’ve gained weight. Some people will eat more protein just to get a calorie surplus in, because they’re tired of eating so much carbs and fat. If you’ve been there, you’ll know the feeling.
The thing is, the vast majority of people are not taking part in some conscious effort to gain muscle and/or weight, so they don’t need anywhere near that amount of protein.
I meant just for regular people who maybe work out once or twice times a week and aren’t trying to bulk up. I doubt serious bodybuilders are eating protein candy bars from the grocery store anyway.
This theory falls apart at the protein candy bars, most of the protein supplements are plant based, it’s exponentially cheaper
Most people won’t be able or willing to eat the amounts of chicken or tuna to get the protein macros needed for reasonably fast gains, so they’ll just get a bag of whey protein and protein bars to get there
Did anybody ever read the later, weirder Dune books where they reveal that the bene tleilaxu’s axolotl tanks are just what remains of their female members? That’s what’s in that bunker on Epstein island. They honeypot young white girls and then drug them and strap them to tables where they use IVF techniques and fertility drugs to force them to continually produce rich losers like Noam Chomsky and Bill Gates’ quintuplets. Then they move the children to incubators as soon as they’re viable and raise them in secret bunkers so that after the apocalypse these ‘superior’ specimens can emerge to rule what’s left of humanity.
This is the secret they killed Epstein to protect.

what is a harmful conspiracy? I hear the terms dangerous and harmful often when it comes to conspiracy theories. and I’m pretty sure they don’t mean ‘the jews are poisoning our wells’ so in don’t understand what they mean or what the exact harm of those conspiracy theories is.
that vaccines are a lie and medicine makes you sicker.
Those conspiracy theories come from the abysmal track record of the U.S. medical system. From over-prescribing opiates for kickbacks to the Tuskegee Experiments, the U.S. medical industry has been responsible for countless horrors over the years. People remember when their relatives, family members, or close friends died of opiate overdoses, and that mistrust extends itself to the rest of the industry. The only reason why I chose to get the vaccine was because the companies were hoarding them from the third world, which was a sure sign that it was effective enough to warrant even more racism in medical care, meaning that these evil companies apparently had something to offer.
Add on to this countless crackpot theories allowed to propagate throughout the country, like “vaccines cause autism” and “china steals organs”, and you get a recipe for a population that has zero trust in companies like Pfizer and J&J.
I’m of the belief that the contemporary existence of foot fetishes was the result of some shady scheme by some group (fuck knows who).
Yeah, yeah I know that there’s examples erotica involving feet dating back as far back as ancient Greece, but hear me out:
In 1998, a study was carried out analysing porn magazines released between 1964 and 1994. They found that women’s feet became a much larger focus when the HIV/AIDS epidemic was in the public consciousness and drew a comparison to a spike of foot fetishism in the European continent during the syphilis epidemic of the 19th century, concluding that foot fetishism is connected to fears of catching STIs.
I disagree, by focusing specifically on porn and not the larger cultural milieu, they had missed the mainstreaming of foot fetishism in the movies and TV that predates the epidemic.
MASH, held the record for the most watched episode of TV in its final episode (so big in fact, that there was a surge in toilets flushing shortly after the episode ended that did lasting damage to New York’s sewer system). Now MASH is a comedy series that frequently falls back on joking about how foot obsessed its main cast is, to the point that one episode even has a subplot of Hawkeye being assigned to inspect everyone’s feet and reveling in his fetish.
This is but one example, media of the time was full of the stuff. And it wasn’t just you Americans who were being indoctrinated into worshipping at the altar of feet. You can find foot fetishism emerging in culture all around The West™ at the time.
Two questions, then, remain:
Who is responsible for this media blitz?
And,
Why did they do it?
My theory is that it was a collaboration between the CIA and MI5 to try to determine just how deep their propaganda can effect people by implanting a fetish into the larger public zeitgeist.
Incredible post. Why feet, though?
There is some speculation that the feet and hands are right next to the genitals in the brain centers. So wires can cross real easily. If you watch women’s tiktoks you see they are hig into hands. It isn’t much a stretch
ok this one’s wild, one of my favorites in this thread so far
I never thought about it that way but that actually seems plausible to me.
No, I’m not in on it, but I think the idea of some secret society running things is somewhat possible. I know this type of conspiracy theory is ultimately a reaction to global capitalism. But it’s not an impossibility that these elite, capitalists have some society they join and keep secret. I think about it being similar to how at one point the monarchies that spread throughout Europe were actually all related so, despite wars and differences, they are still family. A secret society of capitalists doesn’t negate the truths of capitalism, so anti-capitalist critiques are still valid, but maybe they do hang out at some spot together, talk shop, party, get wasted, and fuck each other. In a way it’s harmless because the secret society itself is not the issue, their brutal capitalist form of life is the real harm, and it’s very possible that they have some group to support shared interests even if it’s filled with people who otherwise hate each other. It’s likely not the case and I don’t truly believe it but I think it’s possible.
Also, there are totally massive sea monsters from legends in the ocean we haven’t found yet. That’s not a conspiracy theory, just straight facts.
i mean, dont they gather in davos to openly do this sort of thing? and the thousands of exclusive resorts all around the world, and and and
Yes, this is very true and I realize it realistically serves the same purpose, but I meant they literally could have a secret club they belong to and don’t speak about. The reason why I doubt it exists is because those idiots would probably blab about it immediately. Security culture is unnecessary when you are in power.
look up giant oarfish.
This is what I’m talking about.
I remember feeling very vindicated when they found that monster squid off the coast of Japan. The truth is out there.
-
US intelligence knew (if not made possible) what was going to happen on 9/11
-
Isreal intelligence knew (if not made possible) what was going to happen on 10/7
And both of those things were the result of US intervention to “stop the spread of communism”
ok going full tinfoil now… but in the second case I think it’s more likely that the escalation was wanted cuz Israel is aware of the downfall of the US; which will eventually lead to them not being able to deliver the needed support at a later time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aviation#
I think the “Pioneer era” of aviation history (1903-1914) was probably preceded by more flight than is widely acknowledged, perhaps because the patrons of these unrecognized early aviators had the incentive and capability to obscure any developments in aviation they had made, both for reasons related to personal economic gain (think 1800s capitalist class, protecting r&d investment in a tech not ready for market), and/or to state security (think the relations of that same class to emergent state, their proto-intelligence/security apparatuses) - basically the Reconstruction Era deep state MIC had steampunk Black Helicopters, and they were using them to do UFO-coded psyops
Consider the “Mystery airship” phenomena https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_airship
I especially love this particular encounter in illustrating the way this all prefigures the relationship between the UFO phenomena and the CIA (and adding on, to drive home the relevance here more broadly: “cults” -> trafficking/blackmail/recruitment -> black ops, strategy of tension, anti-communism)
One witness from Arkansas – allegedly a former state senator Harris – was supposedly told by an airship pilot (during the tensions leading up to the Spanish–American War) that the craft was bound for Cuba, to use its “Hotchkiss gun” to “kill Spaniards”.[27]
