How the Left controls and engineers its own conspiracy theories to demonize and shut down political opposition

A Democrat congressional coalition is pushing a new legislative bill that would bar anyone who has ever believed in a “conspiracy theory” from holding government security clearance. This is how they are getting away with it.

Known as the “Security Clearance Improvement Act of 2021,” the bill is a pre-planned response to the Jan. 6, 2021, false flag “insurrection” that took place at the United States Capitol. With the American public already primed to view supporters of President Donald Trump as scary “domestic terrorists,” the powers that be are going in for the kill by trying to forever ban their political opposition from working in government.

How did we get to the point that something like this would even be considered, let alone allowed to go mainstream? In classic sociopathic fashion, Democrats and their Republican allies have manufactured conspiracy theories of their own to demonize true American patriots, falsely accusing conservatives of doing the very things of which Democrats themselves are guilty.

By constantly engineering fake news about conservatives, the far-left deep state hopes to so scare the non-playable character (NPC) demographic that the average American willingly accepts the balkanization of America’s government into a communist police state.

Leader of Viral ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ Movement Swears He’s Not Joking

It’s no secret that conspiracy theories are spreading like never before, thanks to the internet. Whether they’re dangerous and toxic ideologies like QAnon, or outlandish claims that are incorrect but less threatening (think: the flat-Earth theory), conspiracies have become part of the fabric of daily life in America.

One “theory” that seems intentionally nonsensical but is nonetheless gaining traction on social media is the “Birds Aren’t Real” movement, which is built around the claim that, well, birds aren’t real.

The unsubstantiated theory alleges that, between 1959 and 2001, the government killed off all birds and replaced them with surveillance drones. It’s such a bizarre idea that it almost seems like a parody of other conspiracy theories—and it very well might be, despite what the movement’s apparent leader insists.

According to its website, the Birds Aren’t Real movement started in the 1970s, although its frontman, Peter McIndoe, told Newsweek that it started in the ’50s—an inconsistency that might be a sign from McIndoe that the whole thing is one big gag.

The #BlueAnon Dossier, File #3 – Still More Conspiracies Fed By the Conspiracy-Hating Press

The press opposition to wild theories is belied by their obsession with them.

(See the prior installments with BlueAnon File #1 and Blue Anon File #2.)

In this third installment of the collection of crackpot theories cooked up by the media who decry the very practice, it is a mixture of the new and some older conspiracies. One thing to bear in mind in this lengthy list is that all of these are contemporary fever dreams. Every one of these dozens of examples has played out and been promoted during the Trump administration.

Some of the choices unearthed were either forgotten or so easily bypassed as hackneyed reporting they barely registered in the memory. But this has been an educational exercise; knowing the press is dysfunctional is one thing, but having them surpass even lowly regard is a head-shaking result. So to kick off this latest batch of bat-crap craziness in the press we’ll open with the newest.

The #BlueAnon Dossier, File #2 – More Press Conspiracies From the Conspiracy-Hating Press

Maybe they complain because it steals from the impact of their own crackpot theories?

In the previous entry, I laid out how the press loudly declares its opposition to conspiracy theories while also using them as an example to scorch Republicans, conservatives, and anyone on the right. The fact is the press follows the Qanon claims as closely as anyone, and the truth is they forward conspiracies at a clip far greater than the gauzy outfit known as Q — and with far greater reach and impact.

In an effort to both beat back the falsehoods behind their claims and to expose the rampant hypocrisy in these media hysterics, this is a rundown of some of the many wild claims and asinine stories pushed out not by anonymous internet denizens but the members of the press corps and major media outlets. The first entry in this edition is a perfect example of this dichotomy.

The #BlueAnon Dossier: The Conspiracies Promoted by the Conspiracy-Hating Press

For a group that talks about them with contempt, our journalists just LOVE to spread crackpot theories.

This past Thursday, on March 4, Washington was paralyzed. The National Guard troops were placed on high-alert with their unloaded weapons, the security fencing surrounding the Capitol was fortified, and Congress suspended its daily schedule. This was all done in preparation for a renewed assault on our nation’s capital and our democracy. The reason? The devotees of Qanon — that amorphous and overhyped cabal of political zealotry — were supposedly claiming that is the true inaugural date and that a failure of a Trump swearing-in ceremony would lead to renewed violence.

The Washington Post eventually came out to sheepishly report the empty streets seen in D.C. that day revealed something completely different: ‘’A March 4 threat from militant Trump supporters proves a mirage’’. This should be an abject embarrassment for the Democrats in Congress and the members of the media, but this is Washington we are speaking about; that emotion does not exist inside the beltway.

This non-episode reveals two details on the whole Qanon issue. One is that the press is intent to use this group as a political tool to attack conservatives, presenting their crackpot theories as mainstream thought within the movement. This attempt however exposes the other issue. In order to wield this weapon, the media needs to both pay close attention to Q theories, and then they need to broadcast them. What takes place then is the press taking these conspiracies far more seriously than anyone on the right; almost anytime I have heard of a Q talking point it is being promoted by someone in the press

The result: the embarrassment of last Thursday. The press has been so enamored over these conspiracy theories that they have developed their own version — dubbed BlueAnon. The industry that strives to deride conservatives for allegedly being beholden to Q-theories is actually borderline obsessed with conspiracies themselves. Here is the significant difference — while the hated Q-hysterics derive from randos on the internet, in the case of BlueAnon it usually involves crackpot theories pushed by the mainstream media.

Thus, to illustrate just how widespread these efforts have been, here is a list of just some of the wild claims we have witnessed being delivered in the press; you know, those people who despise conspiracy theories.
