If you have been watching some of Trump’s rallies you may have seen signs with the letter Q on them. It is the latest conspiracy lunacy. Trump is supposed to be leading the battle against the shadow government. They believe the shadow people really run our government. To a large extent they are right since 99.9% of the people work day after day doing the same job. No matter who or what party is in power, they follow the law and department rules and procedures.

This latest conspiracy is even more elaborate than the usual nuttiness. When Trump misspells a word or comes up with a new word, it is code to his conspiracy followers as to how he is eliminating the shadow people.

I remember hearing some of the old timers talk about FDR knowing before hand of the Japanese attack or Pearl Harbor. I am sure there were previous ones for the gullible. Most of us remember the “Grassy Knoll” of fiction, movies, and subversive politics. Don’t forget the black helicopters picking up individuals and putting them now in remote concentration camps in Montana. I wonder if that one was started by someone whose Nisei relative was put in one during WWII. Many rural people really get scared when they see a helicopter flying over.

For some reason Americans fall for conspiracy theories more than other people. No wonder the Russians and others are able to con people into believing some harebrained theory. People still believe Hillary Clinton is running a child pornography center out of a pizza joint in New York City. Remember the guy that barged into it with a gun to free the kids? Luckily no one was hurt. But the story continues with the really gullible. I used to say if it sounds stupid, it probably is, but look at who lives in the White House.
