Is the spiritual person a conspiracy theorist? A list of red flags
They talk about a shadowy group of people supposedly manipulating everything behind the scenes. They might refer to them by terms such as globalists, bankers, international bankers, secret rulers of the world, the elite, the cabal, Kabbalists, Talmudists, satanists, satanic pedophiles, pedophiles, generational satanists, satanic bloodlines, the Illuminati, the Babylonian Brotherhood, lizard people, Reptilians, Orions, regressives, regressive entities, Khazarians, Marxists, cultural Marxists, or leftists. Sometimes, very rarely, they'll just come right out and say "Jews."
They claim that the conspiracy has been working to conceal historical and spiritual truths from humanity.
They claim that the conspiracy uses stuff like food, entertainment, and medicine to control the masses. For example, "additives in food suppress our psychic abilities" or "Hollywood films contain subliminal messages" or "COVID vaccines were actually created to alter your DNA to make you more docile."
Also, claims that the conspiracy controls people via spiritual or technological implants, 5G, or alter programming, with or without explicit mention of Project Monarch (a conspiracy theory promoted by far right cranks such as Mark Philips and Fritz Springmeier, who used hypnosis to respectively convince Cathy O'Brien and Cisco Wheeler that they'd been put under mind control by a global satanic conspiracy).
They claim that this conspiracy is controlling the media, has fingers in every institution they disagree with, and is generally behind everything they disagree with. (EG, the conspiracy created the Catholic Church; that other New Ager they disagree with is actually controlled opposition, etc.)
They claim that the conspiracy is trying to keep people in fear.
They claim that the conspiracy harvests something from people. Blood and adrenochrome are common ones. Loosh is somewhat less common. Expect to see something else pop up eventually.
They claim that the conspiracy practices genetic engineering; EG, creating animal/human hybrids, using vaccines to genetically sever people's connection to God, etc.
They claim that true spiritual wisdom can be traced back to places like Atlantis, Lemuria, or Mu.
They claim that world governments have secretly been in contact with extraterrestrials for years.
They appeal to known frauds and cranks, including but not limited to Erich Von Daniken, Zechariah Sitchin, David Icke, David Wilcock, Graham Hancock, Jaime Maussan, Bob Lazar, Steven Greer, Richard C. Hoagland, Fritz Springmeier, and Drunvalo Melchizedek.
Appeals to forged documents, including but not limited to the alleged diary of Admiral Richard Byrd, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean, and The Urantia Book.
Appeals to channeled information, such as that provided by Edgar Cayce, Carla Rueckert, or George Van Tassel.
"But all of this has to come from somewhere, doesn't it?"
Oh, it all comes from somewhere, all right, but the where isn't what most people imagine.
A lot of the stuff above is just a modern spin on the content of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a Russian hoax created to justify violence against Russian Jews. The Protocols itself was plagiarized from a political satire and incorporated a lot of the post-French Revolution conspiracy theories about Freemasons and Jews being behind the French Revolution. I wrote a summary of the conspiracy tropes found in The Protocols over here.
The stuff about Satanic sacrifices and the consumption of blood, adrenochrome, loosh, or whatever are simply just variations on blood libel, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims Jews practice ritual cannibalism. Blood libel can be traced back to ancient Greece. (With the Greek version, I really can't help but notice the similarity to modern urban legends of gangsters kidnapping random people for initiation rituals.)
Many of these tropes can also be linked back to the early modern witch hunts. It was believed that witches sacrificed babies to Satan, practiced cannibalism, and put people under mind control by way of diabolical magic. It was also believed that some witches didn't even know they were witches; they'd go off to attend the Devil's Sabbath at night and come back in the morning without remembering a thing. In the late 20th century, this witch hunter's canard would be reinvented as the alter programming conspiracy theory when media such as the 1973 book Sibyl and its 1976 television adaptation put DID (note: the woman who inspired Sibyl did not have DID) into the public consciousness. For a more complete list of witch panic and blood libel tropes, I wrote a list over here.
Lemuria was a hypothetical landmass proposed to explain the presence of lemur fossils in Madagascar and India while being absent in continental Africa and the rest of Asia, because if lemurs evolved naturally, they wouldn't be in two separate places with no connection to each other. The discovery that India and Madagascar were once connected not only made the hypothesis obsolete, it precludes the existence of Lemuria.
The whole notion of Mu began with a horrendous mistranslation of the Troano manuscript. A man named Augustus Le Plongeon would link the mistranslation with the story of Atlantis, and use it to claim that Atlantis actually existed in the Americas. (For Plongeon, Mu and Atlantis were one and the same.) And then other people (like James Churchward) got their hands on the whole Mu thing, and put their own spins on it, and the rest is history.
Le Plongeon's ideas influence modern Atlantis mythology today; EG, the idea that it was in the Americas. Another guy who helped shape the modern Atlantis myth was Ignatius L. Donnelly, an American politician. Dude claimed that Atlanteans spread their oh-so-superior culture far and wide. He also claimed that Atlantis was the home of the Aryan people, because of course he did.
The idea that all of the world's wisdom can be traced back to Thoth/Hermes goes back to Hermeticism, a product of Greco-Egyptian syncretism. Hermeticism produced a fascinating body of mythology and an interesting way to consider the divine and its role in shaping human history, but that doesn't mean it was right. And the Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean is a modern text that has fuck-all to do with ancient Hermeticism and more to do with HP Lovecraft.
This idea that the conspiracy uses pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines for evil also has roots in Nazi Germany. The Nazi government, wanting to reserve real medicine for their soldiers, told the general populace that said medicine was the product of evil Jewish science and prescribed alternative healing modalities instead. (Said alternative healing modalities did not particularly work.) It also echoes the old conspiracy theories about Jews spreading the Black Death by poisoning wells.
The idea that the conspiracy uses genetic manipulation to create subhuman beings or sever humanity from the divine is a permutation of the Nazi conspiracy theory that Jews are trying to destroy the white race through race mixing. The idea of evil reptilian DNA goes back to the ancient serpent seed doctrine, which is indeed old, but no less pure hateful nonsense for it.
"But there's got to be somebody up to something rotten out there!"
Oh sure. But these people aren't skulking around in the shadows. They're acting pretty openly.
The Heritage Foundation has been working to push this country into Christofascism since the early 1970's. They're the ones responsible for the rise of the Moral Majority and the election of Ronald Reagan. They're also the ones behind Project 2025, which intends to bring us deeper into Christofascism. (Among many other horrible things, they intend to outlaw trans people as "pornographic.")
The Seven Mountains Mandate is another movement pushing for Christofascism. They intend to seize the "seven spheres" of society, which include education, religion, family, business, government/military, arts/entertainment, and media.
There's also the ghoulish American Evangelicals who support Israel because they think that current events are going to bring about the Second Coming of Jesus and cement the formation of a global Christofascist empire. Don't let their apparent support of Jews fool you - they believe that the good Jews will become Christians and the bad ones will go to hell.
All of these people are working toward monstrously horrific goals, but none of them are part of an ancient megaconspiracy. In fact, these are the kinds of people pushing the myth of the ancient megaconspiracy. From the witch hunts to Nazi Germany to the American Evangelical movement, if history has taught us anything, the people pushing the conspiracy theories are always the bad guys.

I’m amazed nobody has taught this dumb f**K a lesson and removed him from politics. He is the new Louie Gohmert, an inbred redneck bomb thrower that’s dumber than Lauren Boebert or Marjorie Failure Greene.

I just realized that Tim, the guy who found out Batman's and Robin's identities, and Bernard, the guy who can think of accurate yet inaccurate guesses on superheroes and their civilian identities, are just a perfect match.

Conspiracy theorist and anti-vaxxing nutcase RFK Jr. has been trying to use his family name to help his marginal presidential campaign.
He's been getting a lot of pushback from other family members. The latest to criticize him is Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy and son of Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg.
Jack Schlossberg excoriated his mom's cousin and has fully endorsed President Joe Biden for re-election.
To paraphrase the late Sen. Lloyd Bentsen: RFK Jr. is no Jack Kennedy.

Still think you're smart when you are really stupid? You and your silly friends suck
Well I'm still smarter then you. Your conspiracy theories are absolutely hilarious and the fact that you think I'm part of some orchestrated attack on you with multiple people on this platform is just pathetic. Have you maybe thought that maybe multiple people, independently, came to the conclusion that you are a raving loon? Of course not. Because you can't play the victim, that you so wish you were.
Jan 6th insurrection was a real thing. Trump really lost. The pandemic was real. The vaccine is real. No one is coming for your guns or your stoves. And for fuck sake! There is no globalist shadow government.
You see, the thing about people is they are loud assholes. If your conspiracy theories were real, there would be actual evidence. From time to time crazy shit does come to light, but do you know what it's always backed up with? That's right, evidence.
PS. And atleast I don't have you living rent free in my head, unlike you, with your constant asks and comments. Honestly, after I post this, I will once again forget about your existence until the next time I stumble across your stupidity. Because unlike what you think is real, I don't really care about your bullshit. At this point it's amusing, but not worth seeking out. I have zero respect for your inability to provide evidence and so for the most part, ignore you. But I've said this before, if someone sends me a message or an ask, I'll answer.

I am sorry (well, not really) but nick's scripts were real. the writers made an ambiguous post over twitter to stop ppl from getting scripts, and the fact that they only got involved when a certain spoiler was seen is... :D? i cannot wait to see the reaction when s5 rolls and ultimately it gets revealed that will recognizing brenner was real.
definitely don't say sorry i'm a scriptgate enjoyer always!!
there was almost a full month between his mouth dry as a california summer and them going "whoopsie this is all fake btw". they had all the time in the world we waited for that script for dayys but nooo it wasn't until we got will recognizing brenner that they shut it down...they gave us scripts for A MONTH and everyone moved on sdskdjsk

mycotoxins, cyanogenic glycosides, fumonisins. Seriously pick up a box of cereal, read the ingredients and look them up. Pick up a bad of chips, literally everything processed has toxins that lead to cancer, mental illness, and several other health issues. So before you accuse someone of prejudice please do actual research on the ingredients in the food. I am living proof. I was literally starving to death because I couldn’t hold down food anymore. I switched to one ingredient foods that are literally only ingredients I can pronounce and know what they are and my health has done a 180. I was quite literally going to DIE I could NOT hold anything in my system. Do not tell me I’m wrong when I have quite literally lived it
Yeah uh, most of these foods are not particularly toxic to most people. You are an outlier. Just because you can't eat these foods doesn't mean the government is trying to poison everybody.
Also have you ever heard the phrase "the dose makes the poison"? An ingredient being potentially toxic in large amounts doesn't mean it's going to be particularly harmful in small amounts, if it's harmful at all.
And while there are many ingredients that probably are causing harm, this still doesn't suggest a conspiracy to poison everyone. It's got more to do with economics; IE, what's cheap to produce and what'll give you a shelf-stable product. (Most of us don't want our grain products molding after three days.)
You are literally a conspiracy theorist and your conspiracy theories are rooted in antisemitism whether you acknowledge it or not.
