The Rand Corporation, in conjunction with the saucer people, under the supervision of reverse vampires, are forcing our parents to go to bed early in a fiendish plot to eliminate the meal of dinner!

Um. Wow. I never realized that the moon was a “large, crudely-painted balloon” that is moved across the sky by rudders. Of course. And it’s controlled by the Illuminati!

I give this one a perfect 10–it drags in the Illuminati AND the Masons AND Cold War propaganda AND Shakespeare (who is a fabricated part of the Lunar conspiracy, duh) AND it even has the guy “refuting” angry letters from other, crazier people.

Of course. How stupid I am not to immediately get it! Definitely my official favorite new conspiracy theory.

I was talking with my mother the other day (scarey in and of itself) and the subject of the pope happened to come up 😕 She asked if I thought he was still really in control or was just a figurehead (my words not hers for comprehension). I jokingly remarked that everyone knows that the Catholic church has been controlled for years by a secret cabal of Jews 😃 To which, she replied, “Yes, I’ve always believed that they control everything.” :eek: SHE WAS NOT KIDDING!!!
