After re-playing the Deus Ex Series (sans Invisible war) I sort of realized that the very fact that many conspiracy theorists can publicize themselves with no retribution shows there's no shadowy cabal that's secretly manipulating the world on a grand scale. I mean, if there was one do you think they'd let Alex Jones talk about what they're doing and trying to keep secret? They could have him killed in a way that can look like an accident or at least have plausible deniability by shifting blame. I find it ironic that Illuminati/Majestic 12 in the Deus Ex series that's exactly what they do if someone won't play ball and cooperate. The conspiracy theorist DJ Lazarus (which is pretty much a Alex Jones stand in) you periodically hear on the radio has to broadcast from a moving van and throw away their equipment to prevent a pattern being recognized and being tracked down. all alternative media is demonized and/or discredited by the mass media that's under the Illuminati's/MJ12 control. Out of context the stuff he talks about sounds ridiculous but given what the characters know about it a lot of it is true. So what's stopping the "real world NWO" from doing it?

Any accusations without a single bit proof are useless and are not harmful.
Systematically removing CTs is suspicious.

Not suspicious, they can (and do) kill people without anyone knowing it was foul play, they do it countless times in the Deus Ex series amd most of the time the general public suspects nothing. Also my point is that most of what Alex Jones says cannot be true because if it was he'd have been killed to shut him up if it was
>>
>>385987745
Why would they kill him anyway? He is pro-Israel.
>>
>>385987862
That's not the only thing he talks about though, if there was truth to what he was saying about many of his theories he'd have been eliminated by the people wanting to cover it up. He's a public figure and his theories aren't secretly held so if there actually was an NWO in control they could easily track/kill him if he was speaking facts
>>
>>385988406
What's the rationale for removing him anyway?
>>
>>385987745
Even if alex jones did say something that was harmful and true it's arguably better to discredit him/let him discredit himself than to kill and martyr him. Alex Jones could say something totally accurate and most people wouldn't believe him at this point, so why risk sending a hit squad? You'd just incense his base by doing so.

Have you read any mainstream media reports on Alex Jones at all, buddy? They basically just take that one "chemicals making the frogs gay" quote out of context and replay it over and over while guffawing with their fellow loyal subjects of the government about how somebody would have to be stupid to believe a word he says.

>They could have him killed in a way that can look like an accident or at least have plausible deniability by shifting blame
There's no reason for them to take that kind of risk. Alex Jones is popular as far as conspiracy theorists go, but that doesn't mean much. Even some of my most hardline Trump-supporting buddies pass him off as a bullshitter. Besides, Alex Jones is essentially just a spokesperson, the leakers and investigators are the people cabalists have to worry about.

Probably not, but Deus Ex isn't a documentary, and the things MJ12 or the Illuminati represent are nevertheless mirrored (sans scale, obviously) in the real world even now. It's a basic cautionary story of consolidation of power.

The real success of Deus Ex's story is how excellently and meticulously the idea of a setting filled with secrets complements and heightens a game with levels filled with secrets. Maggie Chow's apartment's secret area is cool, but it's even cooler when it's tied into something so elaborate with a character outright lying to you. I know this isn't the point of your thread, but the fact Deus Ex's story is still relevant is only partially why it's so cool.

Yes, governments would never meet in secret and talk about things they don't want the public to know, that would be weird. I trust my government to tell me the truth.

Again to reiterate, if they had the influence that Alex Jones implies they could kill them in a way that isn't seen as murder just an unfortunate car crash, mugging gone wrong or something else that wouldn't be questioned except by other conspiracy theorists, and they would do it before they gained wide attention not wait for him to gain followers and then have him killed. Some nobody on the internet makes a few claims and.then suffers an untimely staged death before he actually presents the proof
>>
>>385989709
Because there's a POSSIBILITY that someone would dig deeper. Alex Jones has a following, an admittedly not very sizeable one, but a following nonetheless. It's much safer and easier to coordinate smear campaigns with your 5 other buddies that own all the international news stations than send a squad of hitmen to bust down his door and gun him down/rig his car to explode/fill his house with hydrogen monoxide/whatever.

>There are conspiracies in real life but they don't have near complete control of the world, usually it's shit like nepotism, price fixing, and cronyism but it is never supergovernmental
Look man, I'm not trying to insult you or anything, but you are very naive if you think governments don't interact in secret, or that people like George Soros who can collapse small countries via pulling his investments in their economy totally likes wimmenz rights and doesn't have some kind of agenda.

Your pretty much exactly right, although I am quite convinced even he himself is a plant used to discredit a lot of theories. He talks about the ones (((they))) want him too and he does it is comical and ways and by doing so makes him and the theory look crazy. Also he doesn't talk about anything really substantial, i'm not really that into the stuff but that whole pizzagate thing had a lotta wierd stuff going on but he basically refused to talk about it. All this stuff is just crazy, kinda makes you wish this twisted game could just be reset huh?

Just checked it. Balancing augs seems like a good idea but

They did that in DC, except they fucked up and forgot that the only people that get killed in "muggings" in DC are other blacks and they forgot to take the wallet of the "mugging" victim.

https://mpdc.dc.gov/node/1133867

One of these unsolved murders is not like the other, only one of them is white. And only one of them was connected to the DNC. And he was killed in a "robbery" where his wallet and money were left.

Interesting theory, but I was also thinking that him being so comical is a defense mechanism. After all, if the media has no clips of him freaking out and ripping his shirt off, then they have to address and actually properly debunk his theories with evidence. When they can't do that, maybe those cabalites will actually consider an unfortunate accident.

Alex Jones is a smart guy. He's spent a long time on the battlefield, but he knows he isn't invincible.
>>
>>385990990
hm i might play that after all

Not OP, and maybe it's because I grew up when Russia was called the Soviet Union, but in my father's and grandfather's time if you stirred up shit you weren't even publicly murdered and made to look like an accident. You just disappeared one day, and no one really questioned it because it could just as easily happen to them. That enough was incentive for people to not say anything.

The idea that you need to discredit someone or make it look like an accident seems silly to me. If someone's a problem, you just remove them. I mean, what is anyone going to do about it? We know how high up the chain this goes, and if you're saying something, they'll know.
>>
There isn't a super secret shadow cabal ruling the entire world, and if there was, they certainly wouldn't possess cutting-edge tech that allows them to create physical, completely realistic and human waifus from thin-air, nope, if someone told you that they were lying. Anyway, nice thread OP.

Seriously? Did you read the post, they wouldn't let them be well known and then kill them, they'd kill them before any credible theories/proof is produced.

The Soviet Union didn't really care much about their image so there's no need to make it look like an accident, the Illuminati always tries to make sure nobody questions the official story because them being exposed could cause them to lose control. Also depending on the location they also snatch/erase people if they're not widely known or won't be missed

They don't need to silence the conspiracy theories, they just need to discredit them and mock them in the public eye. That way anyone who believes in them is sort of ostracized and never taken seriously, and is no threat.

You achieve subconscious silencing of opposing ideas this way, no need to do it explicitly.

Alex Jones has an audience of only 2 million people. People who would believe conspiracy theories even without Alex. If you controlled a world population of 7 billion people then 2 million is nothing. Not to mention arabs, africans, and slavs are extremely paranoid and prone to conspiracies. So if they were to follow your logic and kill Jones to hide the truth then they would need to do the same with hundreds of millions of other people which would be impossible to hid.
