Finders Documentaryt

There is no way of knowing what the real truth is but imagine a situation like this:

You have a group of powerful people with access to resources and loyal goons. And these powerful people want to do things that are unpopular, like molest children, perform satanic rituals, etc. So these people keep their activities secret as best as they can.

Now the powerful people aren't dumb, and they know keeping secrets is nearly impossible with any significantly sized group of participants. This includes not only the powerful people themselves but their minions who may only be tangentially connected. People like drivers, bodyguards, maintenance workers, suppliers, assistants, etc.

So how do they keep from facing the consequences of getting their activities revealed? They reveal it themselves first but in a controlled manner. They manufacture evidence of the unpopular activity, but pointed at unrelated or maybe sympathetic and innocent people, that will eventually be discredited. Or they "leak" real evidence but to publicly discredited individuals "conspiracy theorists", who have cried wolf so many times that nobody believes them.

So now the truth now out there but there will never be a meaningful public outcry for consequences. And any future revelations forever will be associated with the past "doctored" stories.

If you had told me from 10 years ago that I would be taking Alex Jones seriously I wouldn't have believed you.

Another tactic with the same obscuring effect is putting the information out well ahead of time in the form of exaggerated fiction, as a book, through Hollywood connections, or random internet forums as goofball conspiracy theories. Contrary to expectations, getting exposure to as many eyeballs as possible makes it less believable when the truth is ever revealed. A fictional framing of a narrative or trope inoculates the mind against accepting it as real in the future.

"Area 51? Oh is that were the little green men are kept?"

"A fake president installed, brainwashed, and completely under the control of a secret organization? Yeah buddy I saw Manchurian Candidate too."

During Satan's temptation of Jesus, he quoted Psalm 91 (Matthew 4:6). Jesus knew that Satan was taking the verse too liberally (ironically, in a "Jesus, take the wheel"-manner). and rebuked him. The devil knows that the best lie is 90% truth... it's the remaining 10% that'll get you.
