>>13874261The declassified files for the Roswell New Mexico crash say it was just a nuclear detection balloon, but the FBI covered it up because they didn't want the Soviets to know we even HAD such a thing. So first they said it was swamp gas. Then they said it was a weather balloon. Some federal agent even wrote a book years after the fact about how he egged on retarded people to believe it was aliens as a deflection tactic. So either government was lying then or it's lying now. But if I'm to believe that the government is telling the truth now that the stakes are gone, it was just a secret war tool they deliberately covered up by any means. I've heard similar things about Chinese "brain washing" and hiding recording equipment in TVs ; the CIA made it up to make the general public hate commies. (Funny thing about the latter, is that we just accept the tracking apps in our phones as a transparent reality).
The short of it is that intelligence agencies have outright admitted to sponsoring the spread of fake conspiracies in order to hide the truth.
So is every retard on the internet pushing flat-earth a fed? Of course not. Is flat-earth popular today (in stark contrast to centuries of prior persistence) because some government agency bribed social media companies to modify their algorithm promoting it, and setting off a chain reaction of virality so that now it persists organically? Idk, maybe. Personally I find it more likely this all happened through a combination of accident and unconscious bigotry in the media (like you're doing now).
But to say that the CIA pushing it as a tactic is more unreasonable than flat-earth itself, is highly disingenuous. Based on that, it's become more likely YOU're a fed.
