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.
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.

These "secret" societies that are widely known about are actually just "testing grounds" for rich kids to see which ones can and can't keep a secret. The real Illuminati is a higher level secret society that recruits from those lower level ones - they don't bother with satanic rituals or anything, they operate more or less like a Central Planning Committee but for perpetuating capitalism and empire and enriching their members.
Not every billionaire is a member, but most of the billionaires that you haven't heard about are.
