It is actually quite easy to see if something is a conspiracy.

Just ask yourself: do the rich and powerful suffer from it?

If the answer is yes, then it is bollocks.

For example, have rich and powerful people died of cancer? They are the ones who could get any treatment they want, even the conspired against ones.

Yet there are plenty of rich people suffering from cancer.

Another easy one would be chemtrails. The rich and powerful live under the same sky as everyone else. So if someone was doing that, you know they would throw money against it to stop it.

Except that it seems like some rich people live in some parallel universe because they seem not to care about the environmental harm.

Why should they when they can pay to not get harmed by it?
