I propose that the Steemit community can help keep the facts straight.
I proudly wear the badge of "conspiracy theorist."
Where did that term come from?
The CIA invented it and promoted it with the MSM because not enough people were believing the "official" story about the JFK assassination. They instructed the MSM to use it as a derogatory term.
It didn't work. Most surveys say over 90% of the people do not believe the official survey to this day!
I don't believe the official story, do you?
But, unfortunately, it did stick as a derogatory term.
There is a conspiracy of misinformation, #FakeNews, ...
To shed light on the conspiracy by looking at all available facts and then sharing your findings (tossing ideas around with others), is a noble hobby.
Sometimes, there is a conspiracy to keep the truth from becoming mainstream.
It seems the "mainstream" News stories always change the narrative after big events.
The Las Vegas shooting
Many witnesses posted to social media there were multiple shooters.
๐ Maybe even a helicopter.
However, the "official" narrative is there was a lone shooter...
The OKC bombing
I personally saw live TV saying there were additional bombs in the building. That footage is still available on YouTube.
Seismic recorders prove there was more than one bomb blast.
However, the "official" narrative is the ๐ Ryder truck explosion caused all that damage.
911
Holy cow. That so many people believe the official narrative is proof that the MSM propaganda machine works!
BBC reported Building 7 collapsed an hour before it happened, with the building in full view right over the "reporter's" shoulder.
That video is still available.
NOTE No plane hit this building.
โ There are too many anomalies to this narrative
for any open minded person who has done the least bit of research
to believe the official story.
However, the "official" narrative is terrorists armed with box cutters hijacked a few planes and flew them into buildings.
And the list goes on
Sandy Hook, Aurora Colorado, ...
...
Sometimes events are promoted
by the MSM
to misdirect interest away from the really big story of the day.
Then-POTUS Clinton blew up an aspirin factory in Africa,
to deflect the news away from the breaking Monica Lewinsky story.
It worked for a bit, but the other story was too big to be ignored.
"They" are also experts at scrubbing the 'Net.
YouTubes disappear
Articles disappear
Social media posts disappear
Sometimes people trying to get the truth out disappear.
Suffering an unfortunate car wreck,
or mugging,
or committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back of their head twice
The solution โ
Let's use Steemit as a paper trail of information as it comes out.
to point out anomalies in the "official" narrative as they appear. (and they always do...)
I'm just another newbie steemer, so I don't have all the answers
but I do have some ideas.
I'll plant these seeds in hopes someone who better understands the platform feed and water them.

If we could all use a unique tag when writing about events
It would be easier to find additional info via search.
