Hey everyone,

Many of you might have noticed that I am not scared of (although, frequently annoyed by) considering the truth in thoughts that many consider wholesale "conspiracy theories".

I have always been a loner, in a sense. Not that I seek loneliness nor that I have issues socializing. Maybe at one point I did, but no, I just think my own thoughts and do not mind thinking against the flow.

The part where I get annoyed is when people challenge these ideas with "but that is a consipracy" or "that is not true" or other condescending crap. My best friend is very good at being condescending without providing actual insightful counter-arguments, but I digress...

I was reading one of the heavier conspiracy books I could get my hands on. A Dutch book that someone loaned to me. It is full of small chapters where the "Holes in the narrative" are pointed out, and probable lies are questioned.

Now, some of the alternative theories offered go very far, as can be the case with unchecked theories. I have held the belief for a long time now that seriously discussing complot theories, and never fully discarding them has value. Because these theories point at the locations most of us do not dare to look.

For me it helps that I never trusted imposed authority (parents, governments, scientists) so I pick and choose carefully what to embrace wholeheartedly versus what I consider carefully.

But yes, the book points out, for example, that the spin on Hitler's death has never been confirmed, and some soviets claim that they never found the bodies. I am sure many of you are at least aware that theories like that exist. Now, it is still relatively easy to accept the escape, or attempted escape, of Hitler as true. History is written by the victor, and the victor would want the victory to look complete, without a bitter aftertaste. No biggie.

But the book also points out some military and globalist methods and plans that rang a bell with me, and life turns out to be possibly be stranger than fiction. Specifically stranger (or exactly as strange) as the books written by Tom Clancy, one of the two writers my dad let me read from his home library (Lee Child being the other one).

Of course, right now too we are in one of Tom Clancy's books, or at least in a parallel: Rainbow Six. Where the globalists try to seize world domination via virus, and to divide the leftover land between mother nature and the elite.

But the book with conspiracy theories reminded me of another of Tom's books, one of the Net Force books that makes a point of attempted mind control. Do I believe it happens? No, believe is the wrong word, but I am willing to retain the option in my mind. But it is (and this is, of course, the power of the theory) that certain people would love to have the technique, so I do not doubt for a second that research is ongoing.

Much like the, completely unrelated, article I read years ago that talked about research into optical camo that tried to essentially bend light around complete navy ships. Apparently those experiments messed with space-time a little, if I recall correctly.

Are there any conspiracies, or theories that you guys know of, or do not mind keeping as an option in your mind? Because I believe if we are honest, all of us have areas of life where we suspect shit is not given to us as straight as it could be :P

p.s.
I mostly wrote this because I wanted to write about the strange happening that Tom Clancy seems to write about military tech and global politics that might have more roots in real life than we realize, just maybe :P
