The left loves to make fun of the right for believing conspiracy theories, but lately many of them are proving to be real. This is largely due to the availability of widespread information on the internet; it’s become a lot harder to keep secrets.
Why have conspiracy theories become a big thing on the right but not on the left? It’s because the left is increasingly engaging in fascist, illegal behavior and trying to hide it. We suspect it’s happening, but they always come up with bogus excuses to avoid being transparent, making it difficult to catch and prove the wrongdoing. With the left now controlling much of the legal system, it’s almost impossible to find a brave prosecutor or judge who will do the right thing; prosecute the corrupt actors or merely even require them to be transparent such as by honoring public records requests.
The left tries to disguise their increasing amount of hidden criminality by claiming that the right believes conspiracy theories because we’re more gullible. They produce studies that show conservatives are more wired to believe them — but they never dig deeper as to why.
One of the main conspiracy theories that is now becoming accurate is pedophiles on the left and in Hollywood. The downfall of Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein squelched much of that ridicule, due to how powerful both men were on the left and in Hollywood. Actor Cory Feldman sounded the alarm about pedophiles in Hollywood for years, but he was mostly ignored until it was proven in the highest echelons of power.
There were rampant accusations of conspiracy theories during COVID-19, some which are still in the process of coming true. One was that it was deliberately created in a Wuhan lab, where it was leaked out into society. Almost no one doubts that now. Another was that the COVID-19 vaccines don’t work. Even the medical community and U.S. government now admit they don’t stop transmission of the virus, at best they lower the risk of serious hospitalization.
Others challenged the efficacy of the masks. Eventually, suspicions that most of them don’t work, and don’t work to protect the person wearing it from others’ breathing on them, were proven accurate. Strangely, most leftists still don’t bother trying to obtain an n95 or n99 mask, proving it’s all about virtue signaling.
Some of the ones that are still in the process of being proven accurate are all the side effects of the vaccines. As time goes by, and more studies are done, we’ll discover the extent of the damage. Despite the fact the government controls these types of studies by withholding grants from studies that would reveal too much harm, eventually the information will trickle out.
The Russian collusion hoax along with the discredited Steele dossier are one of the biggest. The Democrats tried hard to ridicule Republicans who dug into the origins, but eventually there wasn’t much they could do when both special counsel Robert Mueller and then special counsel John Durham concluded there wasn’t any collusion.
The left loves to say there’s never been any “widespread evidence of election fraud” in the 2020 or 2022 elections — which isn’t even the standard to overturn elections — but we are routinely seeing more and more Democrats prosecuted for significant voter fraud over the past couple of years. In Arizona, thanks to former Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, two Democratic officials, including the former Democratic mayor of San Luis, Guillermina Fuentes, were prosecuted and convicted for ballot harvesting. Juan Guerrero, a local justice of the peace, toldinvestigators that “issues” like this had occurred in the town for years, and “influential people” like Fuentes, known as “Chispas,” exchanged ballots for money. The Heritage Foundation has an updated database compiling instances of election fraud around the country.
The left said for years that Republicans have a racist history in our country, claiming they were behind the racist policies in the South. Republicans objected to the characterization, and now evidence is everywhere showing that the Democrats really were behind the discrimination. Professor Carol Swain has documented much of the history. She laid out how the Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, founded the KKK and fought against every major civil rights act in U.S. history.
The left points at the QAnon phenomenon as a bastion of unproven conspiracy theories. Well, with all the possible ways people can have fun and make money, it doesn’t come as any surprise that someone made up a fake persona that said all the right things and added in a lot of predictions that really weren’t grounded in facts. It’s a red herring.
The problem is the mainstream media gives scant coverage to developments revealing conspiracy theories as accurate. You’ll never see a headline that says “Conspiracy theory on the right is proven true.” In contrast, they run headlines nonstop that say some conservative theory was “debunked,” and their fact checking sites are everywhere claiming to debunk conservatives.
There are some longtime conspiracy theories that have quietly become viewed as accurate. Many of these are used as tests to determine whether someone is gullible about believing them — guess those tests will need to be revised. They include questioning whether Lee Harvey Oswald was the only one involved in the fatal shooting of President John F. Kennedy, whether UFOs exist and the government’s knowledge of them, and the government’s secret experiments on Americans such as the infamous syphilis study known as the Tuskegee Experiment.
Suspicions that a powerful cabal of people control much of the government are gradually proving right, although not necessarily in a tidy little fascist style, it’s much more loose. The left doesn’t even bother arguing back anymore that it has significant control over certain areas of society; particularly the legal system, the media, entertainment, and education.
And let’s be honest, as I’ve written previously, the left has more conspiracy theories than the right. But since their comrades in the MSM give them a free pass, there is a misperception that most are on the right.
