For real, I really want to hear all the wacky and potentially true conspiracies Hexbear users have. It would be nice to have a conspiracy spot on the internet that isn't antisemitic as well.

      100% believe this. I think the CIA had a massive hand in creating social media and MKUltra of today is mostly messing with algorithms to see what they can do to the subjects. I think Youtube and Google especially glow brightly :cia:

          I was googling for conspiracy theory sites today and found that the google search gave me no results and instead a bunch of stuff about misinformation. That's not new. Neither is finding a couple sites that are extremely right wing, antisemitic, and fashy. The reactionary nature of these conspiracy sites is because socialism and anticapitalist thought is cracked down upon hard in this country.

          The real conspiracy here is the CIA leaking real and fake stuff to right wing conspiracy theorists constantly to make all of them look crazy. Remember how Biden's creepy behavior got swept under the rug? Qanon was a deep state plant. :illuminati:

            I've noticed that it's become way more convoluted and difficult to find anything about conspiracy theories through google searches, as you're laundered through pages of links by skeptics and debunkers

              The internet is noticeably more censored and consolidated than it was in the 2000s.

            Of course. It plays into alien disclosure. It's to make the anti-Biden wing of american capitalism look crazy. They are but for other reasons.

                  Oh yeah when was that? Last summer? With the UFOs and stuff. Hexbear was quick to dismiss it as an op for more military funding but I think there's something more to it.

                    Yeah about a summer ago. There's so much more here to aliens than what we think. I've been talking about my own experiences with said subject in the mega thread.

                      I have a very hard time believing it but that's only because I've never had any paranormal experiences myself. For example, I worked a night shift where all the employees swore there were ghosts, but I never saw anything, even when I tried.

                        I've told my UFO story here before. I think at most it was an unmanned probe. But I definitely believe something has come snooping.

                            I saw something that appeared to approach the speed of light. It moved in the way theoretical descriptions of near light speed motion would look. It was also a shifting mass of color I cannot adequately describe.

                              but both were over 20 years ago

                              Why do all of these sightings seem to happen such a long time ago? It seems to me like our memory is messing with us. Plus there are loads of drugs that affect memory and your brain, along with things like schizophrenia. It's reasons like this why I'm so skeptical of the paranormal.

                              Edit: also yay! thank you for your story sorry if i'm a killjoy

                                No worries I think about that too but the events have remained clear in my mind since that same day when my uncle and I shared almost identical stories.

                              Have you ever heard about the Ariel school incident in southern Africa? (Not South Africa but I can't remember the country offhand) Pretty similar description of 3 orbs of shifting color just appearing in the sky, though the Ariel school incident had them land and try to communicate with ~60 witnesses.

                              Though I don't think I have enough info to say for sure there wasn't a non-alien explanation for this, I did once see a ball of light just appear in the sky as I was driving at night, watch it move around a bit at very high speeds and weird angles, then flash red before disappearing. My sister was in the passenger seat and my now-roommate was in his car a bit further ahead and we all saw it

                                That all sounds extremely similar to what I saw.

      They told us MKUltra was a complete failure but then RFK was killed by a sleeper agent. :thinking-about-it:
