I'm confused, in Q-universe what's stopped all of these powerful people in charge of hegemonic nations that are nominally involved in this from Order 66ing the rest of the conspiracy and just taking power for themselves? It's just that these giant conspiracy graphs seem to take for granted megalomania and corruption from the top without taking the final step of seizing power with existing state apparatus and just... doing what all of the sheeple thinks that they are already. It just seems like all these nominally corrupt and terrible people are leaving power on the table.

What's the reason?

i mean from my knowledge of secret societies from various media. they either have invested interest in the system going as is and they probably have 'quiet" power struggles with each other but their is probably some system in place to keep them from going full palpatine/bob page. like i know in the assassins creed series and tie in poo poo, the templars have internal people who take care of morons/assholes who shake the boat to much.

The problem of that being that the people and states involved have their own people loyal to them. Their personal retinues aren't likely to stand for this. The conspiracy internal affairs group is presumably going to have less privileged access as far as anybody else knows, with anybody else being most of everybody. Further, the succession of power for a long while was by familial tie, which that internal affairs group can't do much about and liquidating a king won't make a prince more loyal. Less loyal is more probable.

I'm obviously ignoring the whole problem with keeping this kind of conspiracy a secret but that's sort of the basis of this nonsense.

I think you’ll find “no homo” is a protective cloud of irony that allows him to disclaim the sentiment as he gives it, creating a superposition that allows mass shooters to take one meaning and him to adopt the opposite in protest, even if he is the shooter.

Alt med poo poo is usually priced worse than fuckin' unconvered diabetes medication/insulin. People easily end up dumping thousands of bucks a month into it, and even single doses of stuff often costs more than real over the counter stuff.

the scam works because people with medical conditions that are not easily resolved become desperate for hope and grasp at any straw that promises them a shot at a good result

The entire "chronic lyme" voodoo medicine scam is based on this principle, and is milking large numbers of people out of their life savings

Im listening to the new QAnon Anonymous episode where they attend the 9/11 rally at the National Mall. A woman talks about McDonald’s food having human meat in it.

So how does that factor into all the stories of Trump eating McDonald’s so much and making a big show of serving it to football players. Isn’t all that spun as how he’s a down-to-Earth man of the people who doesn’t care what the lame stream media thinks?

"Telling" of what exactly? That our medical system is busted?

Some of this poo poo is expensive, yeah, but generally your basic woo-woo remedy from the health food store is going to cost like $20-$30, and you don't have to pay a $100 copay to see a doctor to prescribe it. Lots of people get sucked into alternative medicine that way. They don't start out paying thousands of bucks, they start out buying a bottle of something homeopathic or herbal instead of going to the doctor.

Anyway, bleach is cheap.

Yeah it's this, the cost of medicine is way more than the sticker price. keeping up with medical stuff is a lot of investment of a lot of different things. Someone saying "hey, just eat this crystal" is cheaper and more accessible to a lot of people than real medicine, even if it's fake and a scam and costs a ton.

Telling that you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

There's real medicines available over the counter already in those pharmacies and most grocery stores. They're cheaper or the same price than buying into the altmed crap. And of course the quack doctors charge massive amounts when you start going to them.

The "cheap" Healthcare for the broke is buying a bunch of generic aspirin or whatever, not stocking up on $50 sugar pills.

Also bleach being cheap is why the people telling people to use bleach as medicine mark that poo poo up like crazy and give it a fancy label, instead of just telling people to buy a gallon of clorox.
