Our National "No Conspiracy" Zone

From my primary "I Protest" Substack (April 2002) at donaldjeffries.substack.com

This column from three years ago is more relevant than ever, given the ongoing disclosures from DOGE. It looks like the “conspiracy theorists” were right again. The innocent explanations provided by our leaders fool fewer people ever day. They simply cannot hide their corruption.

I used to enjoy watching C-SPAN’s “Morning Journal” show a few decades back. In those days, C-SPAN didn’t screen callers, and had just one phone line for everyone. So a good number of calls from “awake” listeners snuck through. The normally unflappable, “unbiased” hosts would always cringe or frown at these unwanted calls.

But it was the guests that gave the game away. The panel was always filled with mainstream reporters, and C-SPAN would “balance” things out by putting on some neocon from National Review or The Washington Times, alongside the usual leftist suspects from the state controlled press.

Every journalist, and I do mean every single one, would robotically respond to the “awake” calls by saying, almost word for word, “Well, I’ve never been one to believe in conspiracy theories.” Thus, the magic bullet in the JFK assassination, or Building 7 collapsing on 9/11, is interpreted as a “theory,” when in fact nothing is being theorized. It is merely being mentioned. And that is the problem; they don’t oppose “theories,” they oppose the simple exposition of information or opinion that contradicts any official narrative.

C-SPAN eventually had to deal with so many calls from 9/11 “Truthers” that they changed their policies, and adopted separate “Democrat,” “Republican,” and “Independent” phone lines. For the record, the first two were very easy to remember, while the “Independent” line was not. I stopped listening after that. C-SPAN used to be about the best of any standard TV network, in terms of offering a platform to alternative views. They aired at least one JFK assassination conference, and I think one of Jared Taylor’s conferences, which would certainly be labeled “White Nationalist” by all the right people.

If only my books had been published twenty years earlier, I’m sure I could have made the cut for C-SPAN’s “After Words” or “Book TV.” My publicist contacted them several times for three of my books, and they never responded. They spend a lot of time on books focused on American history, but they don’t seem willing to consider any revisionist, “hidden history” type of material. And now with RT television purged from the airwaves, there probably isn’t any network that is interested in having me on. Maybe the Travel Channel will have another JFK assassination special, and ask me to participate again. Hey, I got an IMDB page out of that.

Even the most reasonable voices in the mainstream media, people like Pat Buchanan and more recently Tucker Carlson, will not consider talking about the real evidence in the JFK assassination or 9/11, let alone more esoteric conspiratorial subjects like child sex trafficking or Body Counts. I was crushed to hear Buchanan, back during the media assault on Oliver Stone for making JFK, declare that Oswald did it. Carlson has said pretty much the same thing. Arianna Huffington cancelled the shows of both Jesse Ventura and Alec Baldwin (believe it or not, he understands there was a conspiracy to kill JFK) over their pro-conspiracy comments. As far as all mainstream media is concerned, no “conspiracy theorists” need apply.

The FCC, which rules both the audio and video airwaves, is careful not to let any wayward thinkers slip through the cracks. Sure, even Rush Limbaugh kind of joked about the Clinton Body Count, but did he ever have a serious discussion about the death of Vince Foster, or the myriad of deaths associated with the boys on the tracks? Reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop, even on Tucker Carlson’s show, is limited; there is never any mention of the rumor that he was filmed raping a ten year old Chinese girl, or that it’s full of naked images of his then fourteen year old niece. We’ll stick to the adult prostitutes and crack pipe images, please.

So, to bypass the “No Conspiracy” zone that is the entire establishment press, you have to go to the internet. The internet, especially in its early, Wild West-style infancy, embraced any and all off-the-wall discussions. Nothing was forbidden. The old Liberty Forum was a go-to for me, and I was continually astonished at how iconoclastic and open-minded the conversations were. God Like Productions comes closest to that, but they have atrophied since Trump was elected. Like most forums now, they are filled with trolls who derail any significant thread. Almost like what Cass Sunstein proposed was actually implemented.

But the “cancellation” of Alex Jones, to the silence of even much of the other alternative media, was a sign of the tyranny to come. You Tube especially took down all the channels which once provided me with some of my biggest platforms, as most of them had hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, all flexed their muscles, and we must now all contend with charges of “misinformation,” bans and suspensions, and the Orwellian “fact checkers.”

As I’ve noted many times, they aren’t going to stop at social media. They targeted RT and now they’re gone. They will eventually get to all the podcasts and internet radio shows that give people like me the only voice we’re going to get in America 2.0. And then they’ll come for the blogs. They really hate the fact that any common peasant can post their thoughts on subjects, without the filter of multi-millionaire Deep State talking heads. They must really despise Substack. Free speech? That’s racist!

I am deep into writing and researching Hidden History 3: More From the American Memory Hole. Some of what I discover, frequently through the assistance of my tireless volunteer researchers led by Chris Graves and Peter Secosh, shocks even me. I’m pretty jaded, but it was startling to discover recently, for instance, that the guy who led then Governor Woodrow Wilson’s forced sterilization program in New Jersey went on, decades later, to be the camp physician at Buchenwald. In earlier books, I was stunned to learn that “Stormin’” Norman Schwarzkopf’s father was the police official who led the “investigation” into the abduction of the Lindbergh baby.

I guess all those are “conspiracy theories.” I’ve told people many times that if they find a theory in anything I write, let me know what it is. To use Gore Vidal’s phrase, I am a conspiracy analyst. Is exposing corruption a “conspiracy theory?” Is passing along readily attainable information, like the insurance industry’s understandable concerns that the death rate among Americans aged 18-64 rose a frightening 40 percent last year, a “conspiracy theory?” Is it a “theory” that the Clinton administration used a gas banned for warfare by the Geneva Convention on American citizens at Waco?

I purposefully stay away from speculation. Whenever people ask me who killed JFK, I say that I don’t know, but it wasn’t Oswald. The same thing with 9/11; whatever really happened, it wasn’t a “terrorist” attack by nineteen crazed Arabs armed with box cutters and plastic knives. Whatever COVID-19 really is, it isn’t like any virus we’ve ever seen before, and both the CDC and the WHO have hopelessly corrupted the statistics by directing hospitals to list it as the cause on death certificates, even when the victim wasn’t tested. Hospitals do receive substantial financial bonuses for “COVID” patients, as they did with my brother. Not a “conspiracy theory.”

Crisis actors do exist, whether or not they were used at Sandy Hook, the Boston Bombing, and other alleged mass-casualty events. As I recounted in my book Bullyocracy, live shooter drills have been an unfortunate part of our horrendous public school curriculums for decades. They use crisis actors, stage blood, and involve local law enforcement and school administration. The children are never notified that it’s a drill. They think a live shooter is running amok. If that isn’t first-class child abuse, I don’t know what is. But they are making researchers terrified to question these incidents, for fear of a lawsuit. But mention this verifiable fact, and you will be scoffed at as a “conspiracy theorist.”

We have had electoral fraud in this country since the Civil War, when the tyrant Lincoln prevented suspected Democratic voters from getting furloughed to go to the polls. Look up what happened to Samuel Tilden in 1876; the story is detailed in my book Crimes and Cover-Up in American Politics: 1776-1963. Or the voting “irregularities” uncovered by the late Collier brothers in their book Votescam. The 2020 corruption was blatant and in your face, but it wasn’t new. But just saying that can get you banned from social media. Questioning anything about vaccines, or the integrity of our elections is a “conspiracy theory.” A “cancellable” offense.

There’s an old expression, if you want to know who’s really in charge, look at who you can’t criticize. Well, you certainly can’t keep a conventional job by criticizing Black inner city culture, or illegal immigrants, or the “transgender community.” But I think it’s pretty obvious that Black people aren’t in charge. It’s even more obvious that illegal immigrants and transgenders aren’t in charge. So the expression isn’t entirely accurate. In reality, we can’t really question any authorities, or official policy, without varying degrees of ramifications.

Just putting up a sign that read “There are two genders” outside her congressional office got Marjorie Taylor Green into trouble. Recently, a teenager in England tweeted out his anger at a Black soccer player who’d missed a penalty kick, and used the most forbidden word in the language in doing so. He was sentenced to six weeks in prison. If you find that unfathomable, remember that Great Britain doesn’t have a Bill of Rights. In fact, no country except the United States has one. And, of course, our leaders no longer pay attention to it. So, it’s entirely possible that a drunk White fan in the near future will yell out, or tweet out, something “racist,” and be summarily sent to one of our overflowing prison cells.

Fox News came close to endorsing a “conspiracy theory” with its early coverage of the overt 2020 electoral shenanigans, but eventually dropped the subject shortly after the January 6 psyop. And the establishment itself has promulgated one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories imaginable, the “Russia! Russia! Russia!” collusion fairy tale. They also concocted the QAnon nonsense via some intelligence agency, to distract Trump supporters away from the fact their leader wasn’t doing anything he promised to do, and to make all critics of the Deep State look stupid.

For years, the establishment ridiculed any references to the yearly Bilderberg meetings, where the world’s most powerful people, including high profile “journalists” who refrain from reporting on it, meet in absolute secrecy. Until Alex Jones sneaked inside and filmed the Cremation of Care occult ritual, conducted in front of a giant owl, polite society belittled any mention of Bohemian Grove. And for a long time, the very real Area 51 was denied to exist by all the best and brightest.

For whatever reason, the government and its kept media are now acting like UFOs are a real phenomenon. This after decades of ridiculing anyone who reported seeing them, and laughing at the very same kind of home videos that they are now promoting for unclear reasons. Will we be seeing Project Blue Beam, a proposed fake alien invasion, coming to fruition? Regardless, what was once dismissed instantly as a “conspiracy theory” is now accepted, even chic.

The corrupt tyrants who misrule us push one central narrative, and all the others revolve around it. That narrative is that the elite, through their spectacular and really cool “science,” have explained everything. There was a big ball, and then it exploded. We all came from the primordial ooze. Or the oceans. Or the apes. There is no magic man with a white beard in the sky. We are all just random lifeforms, mere specks in an endless universe. Our lives mean nothing, beyond how we contribute to the “eco- system” and serve the mysterious purposes of Mother Nature, whom these same people worship as an alternative to God.

Thus, expressing skepticism about not only the space program, founded largely by former Nazis under Operation Paperclip, but space itself, becomes a “conspiracy theory.” Flat Earth, Hollow Earth, Virtual Simulation, the Sleeping Giant, and all other alternatives to Einsteinian Relativity instantly are labeled “conspiracy theories.” And, actually, the most outlandish ones of all. Even most of the conspiracy world sneers at any questioning of our physical reality. As if those who have lied to us about everything else wouldn’t lie about the world itself.

These things cannot be talked about except in rare corners of cyberspace like this particular column. There are degrees of free speech, even in mostly unfettered parts of the web. Well, you can’t say that. Now, you’ve gone too far. When people tell me that, it makes me want to go that far. Once you allow any abridgement of free speech, as we started to following the Supreme Court ruling upholding the imprisonment of WWI protesters that gave birth to the whole “yelling fire in a crowded theater” thing, we made the concept of “cancel culture” inevitable at some point. But really, just claiming we don’t really have freedom of speech any longer is a “conspiracy theory.”

I’ve been shackled myself, even on some otherwise great platforms. I’ve been told by several that any Sandy Hook talk is not permitted. While I really don’t write specifically about the Holocaust, I’ve been advised by some not to “go there.” I question all history as recorded by the victors through their court historians. As a reflection on just how free the rest of the world is, people have been imprisoned in several other countries for questioning that. Why would any questioning of any historical event be illegal? And in these few cases, those daring to doubt aren’t even dubbed “conspiracy theorists.” No, they are as insane as any of the Soviet dissidents in Siberia were. Sandy Hook Denial, if you will.

The “Woke” authoritarians who have all but destroyed this country consider all “conspiracy theorists” to be enemies of the state. They are sometimes lumped in together with “White Supremacists,” “racists,” “Nazis,” “terrorists,” “traitors,” and the like- really all the disparaging terms are interchangeable. They all mean the same thing, much like “anarchists,” “commies,” “reds,” and going back even further, “witches,” once meant. In other words, you don’t qualify for the special financing. And you won’t be invited to the neighborhood barbecues.

If you’re reading this column, you probably are a card-carrying “conspiracy theorist.” You aren’t going along with the program. You don’t see the merit in Critical Race Theory or Transgender Story Hour. Wear the badge with honor. It means you’ve struck a nerve somewhere. As Gary Webb observed, before he “committed suicide” by shooting himself twice in the head, he was winning awards until he started actually ruffling some real feathers. Then he became just another dead “conspiracy theorist.”

There are a lot of dead “conspiracy theorists.” But more of us who are living enter that world every day. “Waking up” guarantees a “conspiracy theorist” label. It will make you unpopular among family and friends, and severely limit your chances at upward mobility. But as the ancient Greek philosopher said, truth is its own reward.
