When it comes down to things like this, you have two choices. Assimilate or Accommodate. You can make a new filing drawer for conspiracies and the possibility of distrusting authority and expanding your idea of what humanity is capable of, which would be accommodating. Or you can assimilate by rationalizing the hundred ways this is invalid, there by allowing it to be neatly filed into your preconceived folders.
I'm not on any side on this and haven't looked into it at all. The largest part of me suspects it was just a nutbag with a gun. But then again, I know that absolute power corrupts, and I know about the Holocaust (... or do I !?!??! DUN DUN DUNNNN). I mean, there is the part of me that thinks Stanley Kubrick was privy to some illuminati occult shit, and that Nasa is bullshit, and that Arthur C. Clarke tried to blow the whistle tons of times at talks and in his books. I also have my questions about 9/11. I also suspect Clarkey has a 9 inch cock. All of these things are pretty outlandish, but oftentimes reality is stranger than fiction, and there are certainly hidden cabals that seek to make ritual sacrifices and dumb shit based on old beliefs. That's not a question. For instance, Bohemian Grove. We also know of a handful of red-flag operations (Project Northwoods) and flat out lies (WMD's in Iraq), and the plan to lie during certain events like if we find out that intelligent aliens exist (Brookings Report).
All in all, I basically just want to hustle and make dat gwop and get coked out of my gourd on some beach in Japan while collecting every STD I can, and right before I orgasm, I'll take a giant hit of nitrous while injecting my body weight in DMT right into my neck.
