One of the clearest results of Globalist brainwashing on the American population is conspiracy denialism. This is seen in how often people mock those who question mainstream propaganda narratives as “conspiracy theorists” (as if that’s a bad thing, and that no one ever plots evil!).

Those of us who are awakened to the evils of vaccination know this firsthand. Have the guts to warn others about the dangers of vaccines, and watch how quickly many bark talking points about you being an unreasonable conspiracy nut.

You see, the Globalist controllers don’t like us questioning their narratives. So, they brainwash us into believing that the institutions they control — government, the media, the medical establishment, etc. — are run by perfect saints and that they would never, ever, ever engage in evil (especially when it comes to vaccines). It is unreasonable to think otherwise.

A conspiracy is simply

an unlawful, harmful, or evil plan formulated in secret by two or more persons; plot. (dictionary.com)

Anyone with any understanding of human nature, who knows history, or has any life experience knows that people engage in evil all the time. And that much of the time, it involves plots of two or more people.

It would be very stupid to think that evil acts are always solitary, so that multiple people are never involved. It is not as if those who commit acts of evil have some kind of honor code that compels them to act alone.

“But aren’t large-scale, coordinated conspiracies impossible to pull off?!”

You might often hear that large-scale conspiracies are too difficult to pull off. After all, it only takes one person to blow the whistle, and reveal the truth to the world. Therefore, those in power will never attempt such conspiracies.

But let’s get real. If anything history teaches us — especially the COVID Scamdemic — is that large-scale conspiracies can be easy to pull off. All that it takes is fallen human nature ready to embrace a lie — or in the case of many who don’t actually believe it, but who go along with it — cowardice. Or in some cases, misplaced trust. Add to that gaslighting and demonic delusions, and you can pull off your conspiracy in plain sight with ease.

And as for the notion that a whistleblower will reveal the truth to the world and thus easily blow the conspiracy — c’mon. As if most people in the world are truth seekers, or are impervious to propaganda that would be used to “discredit” whistleblowers.

Just look at how eager people are to embrace such evil absurdities as non-Christian religions, evolution, and abortion based on the idea that the unborn child is not really a child. The collective psychosis of evil is real. Whistleblowers have a hard time competing with this.

Now, add to everything I’ve just said the fact that many today are unwilling to believe conspiracies exist — that is, they have almost invincible cognitive dissonance — and the ease of pulling off organized conspiracies multiplies by millions.

Anti-conspiracy hypocrisy

Really, the belief in conspiracy is inescapable. People pick and choose what conspiracies they will believe in. Those who pretend to not believe in conspiracies just use different terms to convey the same thing. For instance, they may not use the term “political conspiracy,” but will say “political corruption.”

Those who mock conspiracy realists really engage in self-refutation. Because then they believe that “conspiracy theorists” are conspiring to make us believe that conspiracies exist. “Those anti-vaxxers are crazy to believe that there is some kind of conspiracy behind vaccines. They need to stop organizing (conspiring!) to make us believe this and be shut down!” (And they become coincidence theorists since they hold that the countless deaths after vaccination are just a grand coincidence!)

But — maybe the conspiracy-deniers are right. Legally, lawmakers are not being serious when they ban conspiracy to commit murder. Historians are just lying when they document countless political intrigues. Dictionaries don’t mean that conspiracies are actually possible when they define them. It’s all just a conspiracy to make us believe in conspiracies.

Are conspiracy realists fearful people?

Some think that if you acknowledge conspiracies, you are inherently fearful — even an alarmist fearmonger. But I’m not sure how being truthful about reality amounts to this. Perhaps those who think that conspiracy realists are inherently fearful people are projecting their own fearfulness onto them.

It is important that we see reality for what it is, and not live in a fantasy world — which can be deadly, as we see in the case of vaccines and the Scamdemic. Being a “conspiracy theorist” — or really a conspiracy realist — can help us see through the matrix.

Perhaps it is fear that motivates many to deny true conspiracies. That is, the reality that there is malevolence in the world is too much for them to bear. According to Jordan Peterson, malevolence is extremely traumatizing — more so than tragedy. (As a Christian, I of course caution about much of clinical psychology and material from Peterson; but what he says here makes sense.)

Or, as Cipher says when agreeing to return to the Matrix, “ignorance is bliss.” The blue pill of a life free of a malevolent system is tempting when compared with the harsh red pill of reality. Man was originally living in a blissful Garden of Eden before sin corrupted the earth. He longs to return to such a state.

As such, one might project an imagined Edenic paradise onto the world to psychologically deal with the discomforts of a fallen world. We often believe what we want to believe (this is very evident in the case of idolatry). Look how often man keeps falling for utopian political schemes — despite them being repeatedly backed by corrupt people.

There are of course, though, many conspiracy theorists who are surely consumed by fear; and even have an unhealthy fascination with finding a conspiracy under every rock. This we must avoid. We can’t be consumed by discovering every conspiracy that exists, and we must also be careful not to call something a conspiracy with insufficient evidence — which could involve slander of particular people.

Conspiracy realism and preparation

Scripture says,

The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it. (Proverbs 22:3, ESV)

Conspiracy realism prepares us for danger. For instance, knowing the malevolent Globalist plans of depopulation and enslavement is a motivator to become independent of their deadly control. Case in point: their agenda to control us via the energy and food supply is an incentive to have independent sources of energy and food (e.g., solar generators, farming). It is also an incentive to build local communities for mutual support.

Naturally, when the reality of conspiracy becomes unavoidable, the consequences will be much harder on conspiracy deniers. Many who suffer from the COVID shot know this firsthand, and now regret trusting the system. Those who believe that food shortages will end soon could be in for a rude awakening if they do not have a backup food supply.

I have heard that when society suffers collapse, heart attacks are frequent due to the stress. Surely this is more likely for the unprepared. Reality hits them like a ton of bricks. Therefore, conspiracy realism, which motivates emergency preparation, could make the difference between life and death.

The Bible and conspiracies

What is disturbing is all the conspiracy-denialism of Christians, despite the fact that Scripture tells us that human nature is fallen and evil, and all the mention in Scripture of conspiracies.

Indeed: conspiracies are so real that Scripture warns us not to engage in them:

My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
let us ambush the innocent without reason;
like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
my son, do not walk in the way with them;
hold back your foot from their paths,
for their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood. (Proverbs 1:10-16, ESV)

Some examples of conspiracies in Scripture (some successful, some not):

• Satan’s conspiracy with Eve for her to eat of the forbidden fruit, with Adam at some point joining in (Genesis 3:1-6)
• Simeon and Levi plot, because their sister was raped, to massacre all of the males of Shechem while they were weakened by circumcision (Genesis 34:25)
• Joseph’s brothers conspire to kidnap Joseph, sell him into slavery, and lie to their father (Genesis 37:18-32)
• Pharoah’s conspiracy to massacre newborn male Hebrews (Exodus 1:22)
• Pharoah and his servants conspire to regain the Israelites as slaves after releasing them (Exodus 14:5)
• Delilah plots with Philistines to capture Samson (Judges 16:5)
• Absalom plots to steal David’s throne (2 Samuel 15:2)
• Adonijah plots to steal David’s throne (1 Kings 1:5-7)
• Jezebel plots to murder Naboth to take his vineyard for Ahab (1 Kings 21:8-11)
• Sanballat and Geshem conspire to harm Nehemiah to stop his building project (Nehemiah 6:1, 2)
• Bigthan and Teresh plot to murder King Ahasuerus (Esther 2:21)
• Haman’s genocidal plot against the Jews (Esther 3:8-14)
• High officials and satraps (during the reign of King Darius) plot to maliciously accuse Daniel (Daniel 6:4, 5)
• King Herod conspires to slaughter male children age two and under (Matthew 2:16)
• Jewish leaders plot to murder Jesus (John 11:53)
• Ananias and Sapphira plot to lie to the apostles about how much they sold their land for (Acts 5:9)
• Jews plot to murder the Apostle Paul (Acts 23:12)

Of course, Psalm 2 speaks of the collusion of the “kings of the earth” in a coordinated conspiracy:

Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
“Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
(Psalm 2:1-3, ESV)

Of this Bible commentator John Gill writes:

The kings of the earth set themselves,…. Rose and stood up in great wrath and fury, and presented themselves in an hostile manner, and opposed the Messiah: as Herod the great, king of Judea, who very early bestirred himself, and sought to take away the life of Jesus in his infancy; and Herod Antipas, tetrarch of Galilee, who is called a king, Mark 6:14; who with his men of war mocked him, and set him at nought; and Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea, who represented the Roman emperor, and condemned him to death, Matthew 27:26; and all the kings of the earth ever since, who ever persecuted Christ in his members, and have set themselves with all their might to hinder the spread of his Gospel and the enlargement of his interest; …

and the rulers take counsel together; as did the Jewish sanhedrim, the great court of judicature among the Jews, the members of which were the rulers of the people, who frequently met together and consulted to take away the life of Christ: though it may also include all other governors and magistrates who have entered into schemes against the Lord, and against his Anointed, or Messiah, Christ …

But wait-– should we ignore conspiracies because of Isaiah 8:12?

Some Christians might be averse to recognizing, and warning about, likely or provable conspiracies based on Isaiah 8:12. Here we also quote surrounding verses:

11 For the Lord spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the Lord of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.” (Isaiah 8:11-15, ESV)

I don’t see the connection between this and pointing out actual conspiracies at all. Isaiah 8:12 speaks of a particular people at a particular time. It says “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread.”

There is an enormous difference between whatever particular conspiracy that a particular people believed in at a particular time, and conspiracies in general. It is quite an exegetical leap to go from this Scripture to “Do not call anything a conspiracy whatever any people calls conspiracy.” Commentaries on this verse can be read here.

(Verse 13, however, does speak universally for Christians to fear God and not conspirators. Of course, not fearing conspirators doesn’t mean we are not to expose them.)

The interpretation of this text that we are never to recognize and warn about conspiracies is simply unbiblical and untenable. As we have shown, Scripture itself recognizes conspiracies — and cautions against participating in them.

Consequences of conspiracy-denialism

God gave us civil government for punishing acts of evil and church government for disciplining acts of evil. The notion that conspiracies, or plots to do evil, cannot be recognized nullifies any sanctions these spheres of authority can have against them.

“Well, this court would have punished you for murder if you acted alone. But since you plotted the act with someone else, you can go free, since we don’t recognize conspiracies.”

There is no end to the madness and evil that would exist if we consistently deny the existence of conspiracies. Imagine learning that a group of people want to murder your neighbor; but then, since “conspiracies cannot exist,” you refuse to warn him.

And we might as well allow genocide to exist, since it always involves a plot of two or more people. (Wait, we are doing this. It’s called abortion and the COVID Scamdemic.)

Contrary to conspiracy denialism, we find an acknowledgement of a conspiracy by believers in Acts 4:25-28. And, I’m glad King David didn’t pretend that the usurper Absalom wasn’t trying to steal his throne since it was a conspiracy. Or later his son Adonijah. You see, David admitted to conspiracies existing when there was sufficient evidence — and he took appropriate action.

I’m also glad Mordecai and Esther recognized Haman’s conspiracy to mass murder the Jews. By being conspiracy theorists, they were able to take action to save countless lives.

And I’m super glad that Joseph was not a conspiracy denier. When an angel of the Lord warns him that Herod was seeking to murder Jesus, Joseph doesn’t rebuke the angel for being a conspiracy theorist; instead, he flees to Egypt per the angel’s command.

You see, conspiracy realism preserves just rulers, prevents genocide, and protected the Messiah Himself.

On the other hand, in the book of Jeremiah, we find a refusal to heed a warning about a conspiracy disastrous and deadly:

Now Johanan the son of Kareah and all the leaders of the forces in the open country came to Gedaliah at Mizpah and said to him, “Do you know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites has sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to take your life?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam would not believe them. Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah at Mizpah, “Please let me go and strike down Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no one will know it. Why should he take your life, so that all the Judeans who are gathered about you would be scattered, and the remnant of Judah would perish?” But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said to Johanan the son of Kareah, “You shall not do this thing, for you are speaking falsely of Ishmael.”

In the seventh month, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the royal family, one of the chief officers of the king, came with ten men to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, at Mizpah. As they ate bread together there at Mizpah, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men with him rose up and struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, with the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Babylon had appointed governor in the land. Ishmael also struck down all the Judeans who were with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldean soldiers who happened to be there. (Jeremiah 40:13-16; 41:1-3)

On the warning that Gedaliah should have heeded, Bible commentator John Gill writes,

he ought to have inquired into it, and provided for his own safety, and the public good, against the worst that might happen.

If we suppress the truth about provable conspiracies, would we be a cloak that covers evil? If we do so in the name of righteousness, are we calling evil good, and good evil? Could conspiracy-denialism result in not fulfilling this command?:

Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter. (Proverbs 24:11, ESV)

What about the biblical principle of warning others of coming disaster?

But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, that person is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand. (Ezekiel 33:6, ESV)

In a nutshell

Conspiracies are inescapable in a fallen world. The only question is what is a conspiracy and what isn’t. Thus outright denial of conspiracies is absurd. But beyond absurd, it is deadly. To deny conspiracies is to deny reality, and denying reality has consequences — just as denying gravity does.

Finally, outright conspiracy denialism is unbiblical. We are not to pretend that evil does not exist in our fallen world. And we are not to disregard information that our neighbor needs to know to protect himself.

If there is a plot on his life or liberty, he needs to know so he can take defensive measures. Depending on the conspiracy, it might be political action, avoiding vaccines, getting a backup food supply, or forming a neighborhood support group.

Granted, some can’t handle the whole dark truth, so sometimes they must learn it gradually. For instance, many can’t handle the fact that vaccination is about malevolent depopulation, but will at least believe that vaccines, for whatever reason, are dangerous and will thus avoid them for that reason. To end vaccine genocide on a societal level and to fully bring those behind it to justice, however, the murderous intents of those behind it must be exposed.

And so in short, on a biblical level conspiracies should be recognized so we can take appropriate action to protect ourselves and others, and so that hopefully, in time, conspirators can be brought to justice. The former involves love for one’s neighbor; the latter involves this, as well as the biblical requirement for rulers to punish evildoers (e.g., Romans 13).

Look to God for refuge

Conspiracies are not greater than the Almighty Sovereign God, the Ruler of the Universe. Conspirators cannot accomplish any more than God allows.

For those of us who are Christians, the Great God Almighty is our refuge and protection from the conspirators. And so Scripture says,

The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10, ESV)

Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (Psalm 64:2, ESV)

God is sovereign and all powerful, and so we should never see the conspirators as greater than God Himself. Ultimately, God is in control — not them. We must not, then, get so obsessed with conspiracies that they seem bigger than God.

God can deliver His people at any time from oppression — and He doesn’t need men in political office to do so. Just ask the Egyptians.

It is actually the conspirators who are ultimately doomed. They get caught in their own sinister net. Thus, after warning about joining with conspirators, Scripture describes the conspirator’s fate:

For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,
but these men lie in wait for their own blood;
they set an ambush for their own lives.
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain;
it takes away the life of its possessors. (Proverbs 1:17-19, ESV)

Are you a ruler conspiring against the Lord? Be warned. God laughs at you. And He will destroy you if don’t turn to Christ. After describing conspirators against the Lord, Scripture says,

He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
“As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”

I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. (Psalm 2:4-12, ESV)
