Mind-control drugs and elite rituals? Conspiracy theorists were RIGHT AGAIN!
Conspiracy theorists have been among the most ridiculed class for years, drawing the ire of liberals and conservatives alike.
But that might be about to change, because they’re usually right.
When the CIA was testing psychedelic substances on unwitting individuals as part of a multi-decade research program into finding a mind-control drug to use on communist spies, conspiracy theorists sounded the alarm bells.
The program is known as MK Ultra.
“MK Ultra turned out to be 100% true,” Pat says.
“Your government’s been experimenting on Americans forever,” Keith agrees.
Not only have they been experimenting on Americans — they’ve been watching them.
In 2013, former CIA employee Edward Snowden revealed that several Western governments, including the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada are engaged in a global surveillance program on both foreign and domestic citizens in cooperation with major telecommunications companies.
“Big brother is watching you after all,” Pat says, before moving on to the next conspiracy theory — that the Reagan government played a role in the importation of massive amounts of coke, which fueled the crack epidemic of 1980s and '90s.
In 1996, the theory gained credibility when investigative reporter Gary Webb confirmed that the CIA wittingly allowed large amounts of coke to be imported into the United States.
Even Kanye West made reference to the conspiracy in his song "Crack Music," writing, “How we stop the Black Panthers, Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer.”
Even the tinfoil-hat-wearing favorite, Bohemian Grove, has been proven true.
“The idea that the world’s rich and powerful all get together in secluded garden parties and engage in strange cult-like rituals is almost as cliche as conspiracy theories get. That being said, it's actually a faithful description of what goes on at the aptly named Bohemian Grove,” Pat says.
“I think there’s also allegations of eating babies and that kind of thing,” he continues. “I don’t know if that part is definitely true, but the carousing includes a ritual entitled ‘The Cremation of Care,’ where dark-cloaked and hooded Grove attendees burn an effigy in front of a 20-foot concrete owl.”

'Dynamic duo': Former Trump adviser hawkish on RFK Jr. as the former president's VP pick
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon claims that going into the 2024 presidential election, a unity ticket with former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "would be insurmountable."
Bannon told Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk this week that he would "love Kari Lake or any one of these powerful women" to be Trump's running mate, but sees "a very compelling reason" for Trump to instead join forces with Kennedy.
Kennedy, the 69-year-old son of assassinated former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of assassinated former President John F. Kennedy, announced his bid for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination last week.
While the latest polling data puts Kennedy at the back of the pack of Democratic candidates, his campaign is still fresh and may benefit from Americans' overwhelming aversion to seeing President Joe Biden run again.
TheBlaze previously reported that a recent NBC News survey of 1,000 adults, conducted April 14-18, found that 70% of respondents, including 51% of Democrats, said that Biden — the oldest president ever to take office — should not run for re-election in 2024.
An April 15 USA Today/Suffolk University poll indicated that 14% of Biden's 2020 supporters would vote for Kennedy.
If Kennedy is unable to seize the Democratic nomination, he may yet have a path to the White House.
"If you put Kennedy and Trump together, that's a dynamic duo," added Bannon.
\u201c"If we put together a unity ticket of Trump and Kennedy it would be insurmountable \u2014 we would bring over many of the populists on the Left." \n\nSteve Bannon joins @CharlieKirk11 to discuss the power of a Trump/Kennedy unity ticket in 2024 to take on the administrative state.\u2026\u201d— Real America's Voice (RAV) (@Real America's Voice (RAV)) 1682444217
The former Trump adviser suggested that many of Kennedy's stated aims may resonate with a "hard-core MAGA" crowd.
Kennedy claimed he would seek to "end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now – threatening now – to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism in our country; to commoditize our children, our purple mountains' majesty; to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs; to strip-mine our assets; to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war."
According to his campaign website, Kennedy seeks to "roll back the secrecy, end the surveillance, stop the censorship, and make government transparent"; "end the foreign wars, bring home the troops, and devote the freed-up resources to revitalize America"; and "end the censorship and surveillance, reduce incarceration, and respect the rights and dignity of all citizens."
He has drawn heat from Democrats and the liberal media over his criticism of COVID-19 vaccines and pandemic restrictions, reported USA Today. Kennedy has similarly hounded Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Despite the media repeatedly accusing Kennedy of being an "anti-vaxxer," the Democrat indicated in 2017, "I am and have always been pro-vaccine. I want safe vaccines, robust and transparent science, and honest, independent regulators. And I want thimerosal, the mercury-containing preservative, out of vaccines. I’ve been fighting to get mercury out of fish for 30 years, but no one calls me ‘anti-fish.'"
Lisa Parshall, a political science professor at Daemen University, told Newsweek that Bannon's proposal of a unity ticket is just intended to make trouble for Democrats.
"Trump's supporters are trying to give oxygen to RFK Jr.'s candidacy as a way of pestering Biden by encouraging any potential challengers," said Parshall. "I read Bannon's suggestion as in that same vein. There was a flirtation between RFK Jr. and the Trump administration around vaccinations and conspiracy theory, and Bannon is apparently claiming credit for encouraging his run."

Rand Paul blasts 'slanderous' domestic terrorism bill from Democrats
Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul offered a blistering critique of a domestic terrorism bill supported by Democrats Tuesday, moments before GOP senators blocked the bill from advancing.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Paul called the legislation an "insult" to police officers and members of the armed services.
"The implication of this bill is that all people are bad. That there's this great and worrisome thing that is infecting America when the opposite is true," Paul said, referring to claims by Democrats and the media that white supremacist ideology and the so-called "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory are fueling domestic terror in the U.S.
"They're insulting everyone. They're insulting the police, they're insulting our Marines, they're insulting our armed services," he said.
\u201cSen. Rand Paul tears into insulting bill from democrats claiming police and military infiltration of white supremacy \u201cIt\u2019s slanderous\u201c.\u201d— Real Mac Report (@Real Mac Report) 1653582024
Democrats brought the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022 up for debate in response to the recent deadly mass shootings at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, and an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The bill passed in the House days after the Buffalo shooting, when a self-described white supremacist killed 10 people at a grocery store in a largely black neighborhood.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) characterized the bill as an opportunity for Democrats and Republicans to address gun violence in America.
“The bill is so important because the mass shooting in Buffalo was an act of domestic terrorism. We need to call it what it is, domestic terrorism. It was terrorism that fed off the poison of conspiracy theories like white replacement theory,” Schumer said in a floor speech ahead of the vote, according to The Hill.
The legislation would create two new offices in the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security specifically assigned to combat domestic terrorism. It would also set up a task force to address white supremacy in the U.S. military. Each new agency would be required to submit a report every six months examining "the domestic terrorism threat posed by White supremacists and neo-Nazis, including White supremacist and neo-Nazi infiltration of Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies and the uniformed service," CBS News reports.
Paul accused these proposed offices of being the "thought police of the military" and said Democrats know the bill has no chance of ever becoming law.
"It's a dumb Washington talking-points memo masquerading as legislation," Paul said. "But it's also a grave insult to anyone involved in law enforcement, anyone involved in the military."
A vote on the measure split 47-47 along party lines, falling well short of the 60-vote threshold to overcome a filibuster.
