    How do you share stuff like this with friends and family and not come across as crazy as a Q dude? Same with anything about 9/11?

        I just listened to True Anons whole 9/11 series and feel like I want someone who’s less lazy to source every single thing in there because I feel like I can’t quote any of it right now.

      You repeatedly say the phase, "Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but ..."

      Also start your stories with the background information rather than the conspiracy fact.

      Now to put it all together:

      Bush 43's grandfather was involved with a plot to overthrow the US government when FDR was in power, his father had a weird role in the CIA when Robert Kennedy was killed, and he rigged the 2000 election with the help of his brother, and Bin Laden's siblings were at the white house the day of 9/11. I'm not trying to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but if there was anyone in the country that could pull off an inside job like 9/11 it was definitely this family.

        Bin Laden’s siblings were at the white house the day of 9/11.

        Meh they could have visited the WH anytime in a 6 month period before or after 9/11 and people would make this connection... You only need a good history book to understand US ties with Bin Laden not an inside job conspiracy.

      Media criticism is a great place to start. If you get them on board with:

      1. Outlets like CNN and the NYT have repeatedly carried water for the State Department, and
      2. That's a reflection of the fact that they are more interested in upholding the interests of capitalism than with any sort of impartial reporting,

      You can get them on board with a lot of history those outlets sweep under the rug. Manufacturing Consent is perfect for this -- recognizable author who isn't too radical, and it painstakingly documents how most reporting is biased.

      Starting smaller also works. There's a great Citations Needed episode on how local news just blindly prints whatever cops tell them.

        I love Citations Needed. It’s why I ended up on this website after their subreddit got banned. I haven’t caught every episode. Do you happen to remember around when that episode came out or what it was called?
