This is a fantastic read!

"People who believe conspiracy theories believe they are in a special group of independent thinkers who know the truth. They think they have a superior knowledge while the majority of people are just sheep who are foolishly gullible and easily manipulated"

And here is a great chart! Scary I know family on the top of this chart!

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

As a member of the illuminati, I heartily agree with this. Keep working and spending.

Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it. There's no going back, and we can only go forward before we run out of runway.

Given the near-complete lack of conspiracy theories that are prominent in left-wing fringe groups, I am left to assume that the author of that chart is himself a conspiracy theorist who believes a lot of those to be true; otherwise, they'd be in this chart.
