Tim recounts being contacted for the Esquire piece and being described as someone who 'traffics in conspiracy theories,' and mocks Forbes for reaching out about the intellectual dark web, insisting they stick to money stories.
- Loose Change was a well-made thriller-style conspiracy film that kept people engaged, unlike long Kennedy assassination documentaries.
- Journalists have a massive blind spot: they never grant conspiracy theorists any credible examples while refusing to call media-driven falsehoods conspiracies.
- Jussie Smollett and Covington Catholic never get labeled as conspiracies, but independent figures like Joe Rogan constantly do.
- Tim tweeted angrily about Covington kids after being misled by the narrative, then realized the wool had been pulled over his eyes.
- The Iraq War—built on Judy Miller's enriched uranium article that Dick Cheney weaponized—is never discussed as a conspiracy by mainstream journalists.
- The word 'conspiracy' functions as a pejorative applied exclusively to people outside the mainstream system.
- Articles about conspiracy theories written by mainstream journalists have no value because they operate from dishonesty.
- QAnon and Monarch conspiracy theories are absurd; David Spade eats a filet and salad, not children, because Hollywood isn't even fun enough to be worth the intrigue.
