Interesting point on that. You're so right in that it's quite hard to figure out the stunts they're trying to pull and how they're trying to shape perception. So easy to get sucked in. "Nothing mainstream is the real situation" is sort of a cop out, but it's also good to think about. Another thing I've been thinking about is: people say "COVID was a warm up" -- probably, but I don't think I have a good grasp on what's to come. I doubt it's another COVID-like pandemic. Maybe not even a biological "virus" at all? And things like project blue beam, while extremely plausible, also seem to be too mainstream to be right on the money... I'd imagine the people coordinating this are all unfortunately a bit more intelligent than I am, and have planned for the skeptics as well... that line from the Bible in that "even the elect will be fooled" or something comes to mind.
