The sad reality is that those who make the most noise about conspiracies, deep state, etc. are the ones who are most manipulated by conspiracies.

   

   Conspiracy theories have always been whispered in secret and never openly asserted.

　Nowadays, however, conspiracy theories are spoken openly around the world, and some have even become political movements.

　Conspiracy theories nowadays are characterized by their simplicity and clarity, and are easy to understand that the conspirators are completely evil and are carrying out all kinds of evil schemes while keeping governments and the media under their control.

   If discussed at a well-wishers' meeting, simple people would be convinced and believe it.

　However, the contents are so ridiculous that anyone with a modicum of common sense would immediately recognize them as falsehoods.

　According to many researchers, most of these recent conspiracy theories can be traced back to Russia or to Russians living abroad.

　The goal is to make people distrust their own governments. They are designed to convince people that all major governments, especially in the West, are controlled by The Deep State, and are involved in a global conspiracy, and that the Russian government is the only one that is fighting them.

　Most of the anti-government far-right movements in European countries have been instigated by international disinformation operations of Russian intelligence, all of which are, of course, pro-Russian.

　In Romania, for example, an online campaign by Russian intelligence helped an unknown person become a strong candidate for the presidency.

   Thus, the conspiracy theories, anti-vaccine and far-right movements that are now spreading around the world are a manipulation of information by the Russian intelligence agencies, who have been instigating anti-government movements in Western countries and blatantly claiming that the conventional Western values are a falsely instilled by The Deep State and that Russia is the only one fighting them.

   However, the main Trump supporters, the Q anon believers, the anti-vaccine activists, and the Japanese NetoUyo (online Right Wingers) seem to be completely unaware that they are in fact being manipulated by the Russians.

　The easy way to tell if they have been brainwashed by Russian intelligence is if they are pro-Russian or not.

　In this sense, not only the European far-right movement and the American Q-Anon are naturally pro-Russian, but also Japan's NetoUyo, the anti-vaccine movement, and the new political party that won a seat in the House of Representatives are all pro-Russian.

　In other words, most of them are either brainwashed by Russian-made ridiculous conspiracy theories, or they deeply believe in the worldview of those conspiracy theories and base their fight against The Deep State, anti-government movement, anti-vaccine movement, political movement, etc. on those beliefs.

　In short, most of them are unknowingly working in favor of Russia as Russian stooges.

　If you think about it, you will immediately realize that the whole setup in which all Western governments are agents of The Deep State and only Russia's Putin is the fighter against it is an unrealistic fiction that is too convenient for Russia to be true. 

   However, the cleverness of Russian information manipulation is that it creates a serious division between those who are easily fooled by such a transparent fiction and those who are not, and that it is designed to make them hate each other.

   However, the more people are divided into those who are easily fooled into believing such false conspiracy theories and those who reject conspiracy theories out of hand because they think they are ridiculous, the more convenient the current situation is for the real conspirators, if the world is really being run by a conspiracy.

　In other words, the more ridiculous conspiracy theories spread, the less anyone will notice the real conspiracy and the less anyone will believe in the conspiracy theory itself.

　Except for a few simple-minded people, most sensible people still think that people who believe in conspiracy theories are crazy. And if the conspiracy theory turns out to be an outright falsehood, the public ridicule of the conspiracy theory will be definitive.

　That is the real reason why the prevalence of ridiculous conspiracy theories is left unchecked as it is today.

　In other words, the more people talk about conspiracy theories, the more they are set up to think that people who talk about conspiracy theories are a bit weird.

　In this way, all conspiracy theories are discouraged, and as a result, the real conspiracies are steadily carried out without anyone getting in the way.

　I will tell you what, then, the real conspiracy is in the next article.
