I've never heard that conspiracy before to be honest.
Do they though? I don't know, I don't hear about it. That's why I'm here on the conspiracy thread instead of the political one.

Do they really do as much running around as the US does? I kinda thought other countries hated us because we stick our nose in everything, more than most.

They definitely do (maybe not as much, not sure how we'd quantify that), we've just been the big dog for a while and so we rightly get most of the flak.

The entirety of the cold war was basically the US and the USSR stepping on each others toes and trying to spread control and influence throughout the world through the barrel of a gun.

For a modern non-US example, look at China's big Belt and Road initiative, one of Jingping's foreign policy cornerstones, and the influence they're trying to establish in Africa.

Well I did a quick search on el googlio and this conspiracy is a thing. It dug its way into my brain to be forgotten and now ejected here, this night, rediscovered.

And I'm seeing the sovereign citizen comparisons.

And I'd like to sever my association to this conspiracy.

Time to revisit Operation Highjump instead, Agartha is so much more plausible.

But I do often wonder why we throw so much money anywhere except our own damn nation.
That's an easy answer in Canada. Our prime minister needs to put his name out there as much as possible. Trevor Noah did some charity event a few years ago. Trudeau just told him via the twit, I can't make it to your event, so here's 50 million $. This never made its way through parliament. I'm all for charity. I donate to a number of charities every year. When the people here are suffering, charity starts at home. A side of accountability would be nice too!

Does that have anything to do with Nazi UFO bases in Antarctica?

You're thinking of the Cold War.

Actually it has a whole hell of a lot to do with that, depending who you ask.

But myself, a learned scientist, is much more focused on the logical conclusions of the expedition such as hollow earth theory and aliens. I mean, Nazis? LMAO no such thing, get your head out of your ass.

That's just what David Icke wants you to think.
