This is a thread for everyone to post their favorite conspiracy theories, whether they be true or unproven. Mine is that pasteurized milk is a means to harm others by Lord Rothschild. Pasteurization kills the nutrients in milk and causes cardiovascular disease. No idea if true or not.

We have moved forward with money laundering for so long, our society doesn't know how to replace it. A businessman with some extra money would not have invested in Google, AI, videogames, or chips because of how much it would likely lose. Money laundering made it all popular while the numbers were actually really low for profits. EAG is just the latest in the idea that the business doesn't need to make money, just move the tech forward. The problem is no ey laundering demands a certain weird quietness outside of its fan base. PAX in Seattle is huge, but 5 blocks away from the convention center no one cares. EAG is not doing that, and all of the businesses trying to keep a low profile don't like it.
A completely separate one is about MK Ultra and all the stories we like to tell. As far as I can tell from actual people who worked in that kind of stuff, and government contracts in general, the buildings and aptitude is average at best. They would sooner do testing in the ghetto in a rickety building to save money and keep out of view than a giant obvious government building. What they did find is a lot of stuff they could prove worked, but had no real ability to control or properly use. Yeah, mins Powers are real, but there's no real way to scientifically study it or get it to work consistently.
So we have all this happening in the background, and I'm certain that many governments paid to look really nice with their secret projects. They knew the truth made them look like fools who didn't have the funding or skills to do things, but they wanted everyone to think the opposite. So shows like Stranger Things is funded quietly by the government to make it seem cooler and more competent than it actually is.
You need funding, and Generals like cool stuff. A bit of funding some shows and movies that talk about your super secret projects that makes you look dangerous and cool is perfect. The funding is $5 Million and your operational budget is $1 Million. Fund a show with $2 Million and then fund some random projects for funsies that gets you extra kickbacks. That's probably more truth than anything anyone wants to admit.
