Conspiracy Theories or Just Puppet Masters
For most of us, the word conspiracy conjures images of black helicopters, secret rooms, and shadowy figures pulling strings. That is not what this page is about. The most effective conspiracies in modern politics donāt rely on secrecy at all ā they rely on distraction. They succeed not by hiding information, but by overwhelming us with noise while steering our attention away from what actually shapes our lives.
I believe the Trump era, as spectacle, is nearing its end. There will be no shortage of outrage, parody, and performative reactions to whatever comes next. Others will cover that territory exhaustively. My focus here is different: the forces that operate quietly behind the scenes ā oligarchic influence, dark money, and coordinated pressure on education, healthcare, and democratic institutions. These arenāt theories; they are systems. And the only way to recognize the next wave of propaganda is to understand how those systems work, so we can read between the lines rather than react to the headlines.
As I write articles, they will be added to this section, so come back often.
