I’ve been on quite a journey lately. It started about a year ago with the paranormal, which was a slippery slope into aliens and UFOs. And now with the E files, it’s led to secret societies that are guided by nefarious NHI. True conspiracy territory. Every stage has involved this self-negotiation between what is socially acceptable versus following my curiosity. Sometimes when I’m so far down the rabbit hole, I’ll come up for air and think “I’ve lost my fucking mind. I am actually weighing the idea that bad aliens are manipulating the planet by controlling secret societies of elite sex trafficking pedophiles.” Like I’m now seriously considering stuff that I used to write off as batshit “clear the room” tinfoil hat conspiracies. But then I trace back the steps that led me to this conclusion and it’s plausible. Is like checking your work before handing in a math test. It all adds up. So then I think to myself, “If I had to make my case in public, how might I share this perspective without immediately losing the room? What videos might I recommend? What links would I share? What thought process might I walk them through to understand these ‘fringe’ perspectives?” And while thinking in this direction I’m like, “Damn. Those three letter agency psyops did a damn good job.” Because they make the target population feel like they’re the smartest person in the room. Psyops hand over the low hanging fruit of explanations. And these ideas are packaged in rationality and critical thinking, which in our society comes with a splash of moral superiority. So mention UFOs and you’re immediately guilty of falling for falsehoods (and open to justifiable ridicule). So we’re up against decades of bias. But when you spend quality time down the UFO rabbit hole, you start to really question the mainstream narrative. And the thing is, once you allow yourself to “think outside the psyop box,” the risk is that you start to think everything is a psyop. This is where I find myself now. So it’s not just “How do we convince others of the existence of UFOs?” It becomes, “Where do I even begin because I can’t seem to trust anything anymore. Nothing is what it seems and any powerful institution is probably compromised.” Has anyone else experienced this warping of reality? I view everything with suspicion now. For example, I’m looking at this Mar a Lago face aesthetic and I’m like, “Is this a psyop to acclimate us to seeing non-human or hybrid faces?” Hollywood and the billionaire class keep distorting their faces to something unrecognizable as human. Are they trying to “normalize” aliens disguised as humans? Or make it easier to infiltrate human society because a weird looking human can just be explained away by “fillers and botox”? Sure, billionaires are vain and want to be young forever. We can certainly explain this away rationally. But I think that’s the beauty of psyop. It’s sneaky like that. And this one’s a little more out there but I’m starting to wonder if the Satanic panic of the 80s was at least partly a psyop. I think the first amendment stuff was valid but it did plant this seed in the collective thinking that to believe in the existence of Satanic cults meant that you were overreactive and prone to urban legends. And that bias still persists today. So when Satanic ritual abuse survivors come forward to say “This stuff is real and it’s dark and it’s pervasive and it happened to me” people tend to dismiss them because they think of the Satanic panic of the 80s. That would mean that the three letter agencies were playing the long game, but it does make me wonder because it does prevent people from considering the reality of Satanic abuse (just like people are resistant to believing in UFOs). I’m rambling now. But I guess the point of this post is just to say that we know the CIA’s psyop on UFOs happened and was successful. For those of us further down the UFO rabbit hole, are you also starting to wonder what other psyops related to aliens, UFOs, and NHI might be in play at the moment? Is your worldview starting to warp too? Or have I truly just lost my fucking mind and have taken a dive head first off the conspiracy cliff? Honestly, I’m open to both possibilities. submitted by /u/tendervittles [link] [comments]
