In the pareidolia image I see Joe Biden faking his own dementia at the Trump debate as part of his elaborate plan to make Kamala the nominee knowing she could not win and therefore consoling the ghost of the late Ku Klux Klan Wizard and U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (and Biden mentor) in his after-life efforts to bring the Klan back into the mainstream of American life, in which Byrd was able to also infiltrate the Southern Poverty Law Center and direct funds to Klan leaders who then planned the Charlottesville race riot, giving Joe Biden the platform on which to run for President. That's what I see. It's pretty clear.
Brigattista, your pattern recognition skills are clearly next level but you missed a few of the more esoteric 'tells' in the Biden messaging. ("Hell, Son, even Jenn Psaki was 100% pure Psy Op...all day, every day.") I'm sure you merely omitted it for brevity sake, but the real key was the well-hung Easter Bunny whispering to "Joey Pajamas" on the South lawn. He then turned on his lucky-rainbow rabbit's foot and went back down into a rabbit-hole portal underneath the site of the new ballroom. The air was redolent of sulfur --like rotten eggs.
But Ol' Joe was 100% non compos mentis and failed to allow George Soros' fat Jobba-the-Hutt ass to build his nest down there. Epic fail! That's why Alex Soros had to marry Whore of Babylon proxy, Huma Abedin. It's an attempt to end-run the coming Trump Singularity.
The Solomon's-Temple design foretells a future attempt to focus the Shekinah-glory energy of YHWH into the Bunny bunker ---which I believe will trigger the End of Days. Kinda like in Ghostbusters but ---instead of hot marshmallow cream--- the whole swamp will be covered in rabbit fur. NOT a good look.
Now you got yourself both correlation and causation, but this ain't my first rodeo. Carry on!
I'm frankly astonished at the behavior of many Trump supporters and independents - who seem to me to be a big pot of frogs in a big boiling cauldron of scalding water.
Had there been no attempt thwarted days ago, we would have seen two assassination attempts from Butler to April this year - with the successful assassination on camera of Charlie Kirk.
The recent attempt makes it three near misses in 650 days - ??? - an average of a near miss assassination of Donald Trump every two hundred odd days!! WTF?
Not only do we have Charlie Kirk being assassinated and people today still celebrating, as Walter predicted Luigi is being held up as a role model by a significant subset of American citizens with ZERO reputational damage.
Chuck Todd openly blamed Trump for creating the climate where a substantial subet of Americans literally can't wait for the next assassination attempt to occur and "finally" succeed.
Now is not a time for retrospective comparisons, but a time for a blunt description of reality - which is that a major subset of the media are producing hate explicitly intended to end Donald Trump's life - acting hand in glove with media, academic, and political leaders. Period. And folks are skating around the fact??
The assassination attempts are not an indicator of America's decline. The willingness of so many Americans to countenance, turn a blind eye to, and actually encourage this monstrous canker growing before our eyes is the development demanding we snap to.
What will our response be when/if the fourth - FOURTH serious assassination attempt succeeds? What will our excuses be? We shrugged? We "blamed the media"? Every story on the political climate in America today needs to zero in on two facts: 1/ the assassination attempts are welcomed by a subset of Americans 2/ to bluntly call this malignant development out whenever we can - naming names.
Those of us who recall the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK AND Charlie Kirk understand that the FOURTH attempt is days, weeks, months, away - and either the FOURTH, or the FIFTH assassination attempt may well succeed if don't get our collective heads out of our asses and stop treating this shit - as "business as usual. Three near misses every 200 days is a five-alarm fire.
Break the glass, ACT, while we still can, coz 'oh well' isn't going to cut it if attempt number 4 actually succeeds. We need to demand more from media outlets that purport to be "telling the truth no matter what." They're not.
It appears to me many regard these assassination attempts as some sort of movie script. The removal of a president that was legally elected by other means should be regarded as a “threat to democracy,” but that’s not how people who love that phrase look at it.
Exactly. Do I sound incensed? I am incensed. These sick f-cks mean it - remember COVID? Deny medical treatment to those of us who refused to shoot lab mRNA into our bodies? They wanted us to do die then, just like they'd like us to die now - with a great big blood spatter of you know who to start their "festivities" off. I have two close friends who pray daily that's the outcome. True. I've been direct with both, but expect to have chats with others requiring a bracing over the coming weeks.
I find myself disengaging from news, and some acquaintances. My community has been having political and social issues that are dark in nature. An underlying sense of not good or healthy. It reminds me of the beginning of a Stephen King book. Our library is a shell, and has a very bad vibe, lawsuits and ideological differences.
In an era of chatbots and a long dead internet, using likes and views as some sort of representation of human activity is massively delusional and completely disconnected from reality--even if it does make for super easy churnalism that writes itself.
Don't get me wrong--we can certainly use views and likes to see what ideas the people buying bots want pushed to the forefront--but this has nothing to do what anyone believes.
No one believes any of this crap except the next assassin--and that is exactly the point.
Of course, the laziest possible journalism chases this tennis ball like it was crack cocaine. And it always comes back wet with slobber.
The internet is dead. And empty lazy churnalism like this is a big part of the reason why.
How do you understand the world without understanding how subsets of people see things?
Its like "Israel Genocide".
Ive tried hard to see it but i guess i'm just stupid. Last week a business acquaintance sent me a picture of a bombed out Gaza neighborhood as proof of genocide. I replied that is proof of war, war fought in an urban area. But a destroyed area of city is not genocide.
And now that i dared question that narrative i'm sure i'll get some pile on.
It’s good for skeptics to be sufficiently well-informed about crackpot theories so they are able to put the kibosh on them when naive people promote them.
That's the problem: people don't THINK. They just FEEL. So many grew up being coddled by parents who assured them that they have a right not to have their feelings hurt. Participation trophies and protection from paying the price of their mistakes and blame others for their shortcomings. So their FEELINGS dictate their choices (like voting) and run their lives. They're all just children who never learned the value of doing things "the hard way."
Yup. And we have "serious" academics and political subversives telling us that "feeling" is just as reliable and important as old-school analytical thinking.
The excellent and deeply troubling 2018 book, "The Coddling of the American Mind," chronicled this unfolding trend in young people, in spades. And it's these young people who are largely driving this decline, aided and abetted by propaganda-peddling academia, smartphones, and crazy-indulgent parenting.
Yes, plenty of older folks, too, but those strike me more as bored boomers hungry for some cause like the good old days...
The authors (Greg Lukanioff and Jonathan Haidt) identify three foundational beliefs these young people live by (and suffice to say, they explain everything...):
1) What doesn't kill me makes me weaker (hence avoid all adversity, including, of course, points of view with which I disagree).
2) Always trust your feelings (nuff said...). And finally...
3) The world is divided into good people and bad people.
#s 1 & 2 encourage an insularity that makes it near impossible to grasp nuance and gray areas (concepts which pretty much define the real world). And given that, they have an incredibly low threshold for upset, so it's far easier to deal with the world as a black-and-white place.
We're talking about mental illness here on a vast scale. And in case you doubt that, read Haidt's newest, "The Anxious Generation."
Who decides what is evidence? Whose job is it to investigate, interpret and report this evidence? Finally, how did this process work in JFK murder, Iran-Contra, etc.?
Taibbi has been dubbed as a real ‘investigative journalist’ by Joe Rogan but his takes seem pretty conventional or that of controlled opposition.
In the broadest sense, evidence can be almost anything.
And there are different kinds of evidence. Also, the words evidence and proof are often used interchangeably but they aren't necessarily the same things.
As a former reporter, I still think in terms of "just the facts, ma'am."
But looking at the increasingly implausible nature of the spectacles that keep coming relentlessly, I think we have to take a broader approach, even if that partakes of conspiracy thinking.
Usually a conspiracy theory is used to bridge the gap between evidence and irrational belief. Conspiracy theories can be refuted only by common sense.
For example, why haven’t all the crashed saucers left behind any objects of extraterrestrial manufacture, the equivalent of beer cans and gum wrappers turning up in the Amazon jungle? Answer: Men in Black took everything away.
Similarly, for people who “know” Trump is a coward, how to account for his bravery in the face of assassination attempts? Answer: They have to be fake.
Racket is devolving from serious journalism into a online version of TMZ giving credence to bs conspiracy junk. Humans love to connect dots even when there is no connection. I'm rapidly approaching the unsubscribe point. There is enough garbage already out there, I expected better from racket.
A better topic would have been connecting the tolerance for political violence to age and libetalism or conservatism, but then that would have been serious journalism.
Spend some time on Reddit. None of this is real. It's all paid bots--and the only real people there are the next assassins.
This article is just amplifying the exact same messages that people are paying bots to amplify--and these messages are designed to be bait for lazy "reporters" and internet "influencers" to jump on board and get paid too, which exponentially amplifies the messaging. PR 101.
Watch the game being played--it's ridiculous obvious if for no other reason than "influencers" and "reporters" are so fucking stupid that it has to be kept incredibly simple.
The article is nothing more than another paid bot when it is all said and done. The only question is whether Caden is in on the game or not.
Hmmm. I thought the article was showing us how sick people have become delusional. Don't think these BS "conspiracies" (more like hallucinations)were being advocated?
Maybe but it came accross to me as giving credence to superfluous junk, taking words out of context and inferring complicity. Perhaps I'm just frustrated because I see a rising tolerance of political violence and think the issue needs serious consideration. Spanish King Alfonso XIII abdicated in 1931, the multifaceted Republican government went from talking at each other, to talking past each other, to assassinating each other, to full blown civil war by 1936. Allan doesn't present as a deranged psychotic lone wolf, but just a regular liberal with a bit of TDS who just wants to fix things and apologizes in advance. He's being celebrated on social media. I think Racket as a well read substack should take the journalistic high road.
“He’s being celebrated on social media.” I’ll have to take your word for that. I have deliberately fire-walled myself from lefty idiocy. I’d be the first to jump ship if Matt exhibited TDS!
Trust me, nut jobs like these people have always been with us. Conspiracy theories are as American as apple pie starting with fears of hidden Masonic influences and symbolism surrounding our Founding Fathers and running through Lincoln’s assassination, Pearl Harbor, and JFK’s death. Not to mention “fake” moon landings, Elvis-is-still-alive, and 9-11 truthers. What’s different today? A gleeful return to that disgusting centuries-old tradition of scapegoating Jews disguised as principled opposition to Israeli policies combined with that little black box/megaphone everyone now carries everywhere. It’s democratized the lowest common denominators among us. That’s the price of free speech, and I certainly don’t want to change that. But, boy oh boy, is the price steep…
Perhaps people were always this idiotic, but we were less aware of it until the rise of social media. In the past, they just read the National Inquirer and ruminated quietly about Elvis being alive.
In the pareidolia image I see Joe Biden faking his own dementia at the Trump debate as part of his elaborate plan to make Kamala the nominee knowing she could not win and therefore consoling the ghost of the late Ku Klux Klan Wizard and U.S. Senator Robert Byrd (and Biden mentor) in his after-life efforts to bring the Klan back into the mainstream of American life, in which Byrd was able to also infiltrate the Southern Poverty Law Center and direct funds to Klan leaders who then planned the Charlottesville race riot, giving Joe Biden the platform on which to run for President. That's what I see. It's pretty clear.
Ok, but where does Elvis fit in?
He's not dead. He's a lobbyist for SPLC.
And Elvis is reporting to...
( drum roll)
Epstein, of course!
He was just here yesterday, with his buddies Hitler and Jimmie Hoffa.

Brigattista, your pattern recognition skills are clearly next level but you missed a few of the more esoteric 'tells' in the Biden messaging. ("Hell, Son, even Jenn Psaki was 100% pure Psy Op...all day, every day.") I'm sure you merely omitted it for brevity sake, but the real key was the well-hung Easter Bunny whispering to "Joey Pajamas" on the South lawn. He then turned on his lucky-rainbow rabbit's foot and went back down into a rabbit-hole portal underneath the site of the new ballroom. The air was redolent of sulfur --like rotten eggs.
But Ol' Joe was 100% non compos mentis and failed to allow George Soros' fat Jobba-the-Hutt ass to build his nest down there. Epic fail! That's why Alex Soros had to marry Whore of Babylon proxy, Huma Abedin. It's an attempt to end-run the coming Trump Singularity.
The Solomon's-Temple design foretells a future attempt to focus the Shekinah-glory energy of YHWH into the Bunny bunker ---which I believe will trigger the End of Days. Kinda like in Ghostbusters but ---instead of hot marshmallow cream--- the whole swamp will be covered in rabbit fur. NOT a good look.
Now you got yourself both correlation and causation, but this ain't my first rodeo. Carry on!
Yep, I was getting to all that.
My thoughts exactly.
Biden was not a racist, those were just gaffes/ faux pas as State Media assured us.
So obvious, I can't believe it's not on the front page of the New York Times.
Makes sense to me!
It's no farther fetched than most such notions, and less than many.
I buy it.
Boy are you delusional!
Bravo!
Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
TRVTH NVKE
I am watching the decline of the USA in real time. I always thought it would happen after I died.
Yeah, it would be a nice change to read a reassuring article. The everyone’s gone crazy theme is a self fulfilling prophesy.
Absolutely.
The decline and fall of media, social and traditional. The rest of us are doing just fine.
I'm frankly astonished at the behavior of many Trump supporters and independents - who seem to me to be a big pot of frogs in a big boiling cauldron of scalding water.

Unfortunately, you’re right. It’s underappreciated how bloodthirsty people can be.
We won't be when they take us all down with them into their crazy rabbit hole
What's not declining? At least in the west?
Grocery bills, insurance and my keyboard is giving up.
I'm ambivalent about living many years longer, myself. Since I am 68 and so far a cancer survivor, I may not need to worry . . .
I find myself disengaging from news, and some acquaintances. My community has been having political and social issues that are dark in nature. An underlying sense of not good or healthy. It reminds me of the beginning of a Stephen King book. Our library is a shell, and has a very bad vibe, lawsuits and ideological differences.
This is the series finale. Don’t miss it. No reruns in syndication for this one. One and done.
Yeah, me too, I thought the same. I think the term is "acceleration."
Depends which decline. If the overall direction is declining, that’s one thing. Its derivative is velocity, and its derivative is acceleration.
That was my exact response. I said our society is crumbling right before our very eyes.
I see below several people unsubscribing, i guess because they think Matt is peddling conspiracy theories?
I see this article as journalism, collating the crazy so we don't need to go look for it? A service?
I really don't understand many people.
I have no wish to wade through all this crap myself but i do want to know what is being said.
In an era of chatbots and a long dead internet, using likes and views as some sort of representation of human activity is massively delusional and completely disconnected from reality--even if it does make for super easy churnalism that writes itself.

Long live the internet!
edit: and->as
Churn it do.
Good point, but why do we need to know what’s being said?
Its something that is happening.
How do you understand the world without understanding how subsets of people see things?
Its like "Israel Genocide".
Ive tried hard to see it but i guess i'm just stupid. Last week a business acquaintance sent me a picture of a bombed out Gaza neighborhood as proof of genocide. I replied that is proof of war, war fought in an urban area. But a destroyed area of city is not genocide.
And now that i dared question that narrative i'm sure i'll get some pile on.
Ah, attacking their feelings with facts.
Novel concept. Let's hope it works.
I wouldn’t hold you breath…
It’s good for skeptics to be sufficiently well-informed about crackpot theories so they are able to put the kibosh on them when naive people promote them.
Or, as always, people will think whatever fits their emotions and biases and say anything that supports their tribe and agenda.
That's the problem: people don't THINK. They just FEEL. So many grew up being coddled by parents who assured them that they have a right not to have their feelings hurt. Participation trophies and protection from paying the price of their mistakes and blame others for their shortcomings. So their FEELINGS dictate their choices (like voting) and run their lives.

We're talking about mental illness here on a vast scale. And in case you doubt that, read Haidt's newest, "The Anxious Generation."
Even if they have to make it up essentially out of whole cloth.
…a minor detail.
Who is more credulous? The person who makes up his own mind about what he sees on TV or online?
Or the person who accepts what he's told by a news media that is, for all practical purposes, an arm of the state?
"Conspiracy theory" is a pejorative phrase that defenders of the state use to silence dissent.
I believe "conspiracy theory" was institutionalized by the CIA, hardly "defenders of the state" (or of the Kennedys).
Seriously? Last time I checked, the CIA was part of the government.
Depending on who is president.
To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a conspiracy theory is just a conspiracy theory. In the pejorative sense.
More often, “conspiracy theory” is a weapon intended to short circuit the search for truth.
Who decides what is evidence? Whose job is it to investigate, interpret and report this evidence? Finally, how did this process work in JFK murder, Iran-Contra, etc.?
Taibbi has been dubbed as a real ‘investigative journalist’ by Joe Rogan but his takes seem pretty conventional or that of controlled opposition.

As if conspiracies don't happen all the time.
Usually a conspiracy theory is used to bridge the gap between evidence and irrational belief. Conspiracy theories can be refuted only by common sense.
For example, why haven’t all the crashed saucers left behind any objects of extraterrestrial manufacture, the equivalent of beer cans and gum wrappers turning up in the Amazon jungle? Answer: Men in Black took everything away.
Similarly, for people who “know” Trump is a coward, how to account for his bravery in the face of assassination attempts? Answer: They have to be fake.
Not in the case of all the conspiracy theories that turned out to be ACTUAL conspiracies (i.e. true):
1. Operation Mockingbird
2. Operation Paperclip
3. Golf of Tonkin incident
4. Nayirah's "incubator babies"
5. Operation Sea-Spray
6. MK-Ultra
7. Tuskegee Experiment
8. Fast & Furious
9. Operation Popeye
10. Operation Northwoods
11. Operation Ajax
12. Cointelpro
13. Gain-of-Function experiments
The notion that Donald Trump would deliberately forgo an opportunity to slam the the press at their own party is too much to believe.
Betcha he had a humdinger in mind.
Hilarious!
Thanks for covering these stories.
I admit I learned something from this article - I had no idea Piker was Cenk Uyger's nephew. Makes sense though.
I see a Sasquatch...but what do I know.
I do need a shave…
I saw trump as jesus healing the world.

Don't take it so seriously.
It is an article with the words "Conspiracy Roundup" in its title.
Just enjoy the humor and move on.
I like your take on it. If we see these memes in the future we are forewarned, if not we can chuckle about a particular moment in time.

“He’s being celebrated on social media.” I’ll have to take your word for that. I have deliberately fire-walled myself from lefty idiocy. I’d be the first to jump ship if Matt exhibited TDS!

Problem is, some "conspiracy theories" turn out to be conspiracy facts.. some of them...
Sort of what President Trump said in that 60 Minutes interview: assassinations and violence have always happened.
So, you're saying you believe the government's "official" narrative on all those examples?
Which leads to another clue, which leads to another clue.......
Man I wish I could one click everyone who believes this nonsense out of my digital life forever.
It’s easy, don’t use social media.
TBF this is literally social media we’re on here.
Perhaps people were always this idiotic, but we were less aware of it until the rise of social media. In the past, they just read the National Inquirer and ruminated quietly about Elvis being alive.
And Weekly World News.
I used to love that one!
It is also interesting that the Martinez X post with the name Cole Allen in it was posted on December 21st, which is the winter solstice.
Exactly, and December spelled backwards in French spells…
Racket needs more solid investigative journalism. I have canceled my subscription. Best wishes.

What you're seeing is the complete distrust of the government and mainstream media.
Not complete, just mistrust of the bad parts.
Who are the people who make up the bad parts? Depends on who you ask.
