The Bushes are half that conspiratorial picture, fronts for a Republican Party establishment and whose sum total of accomplishments, dating back nearly 30 years, are two failed presidencies, the sweeping loss of manufacturing jobs, and a pair of pitiable Middle Eastern military adventures – the second one achieving nothing but dead American kids and Junior's re-election.

Just as Marc Randazza formed his beliefs around free speech in a liberal culture that lionized the First Amendment for protecting Vietnam protesters and Larry Flynt, young people in 2018 are forming their opinion of free speech in a moment when those most loudly claiming its virtues are conspiratorial grifters like Alex Jones and racists like Andrew Anglin and Richard Spencer.

It goes roughly like this: So what happened, it seems, is that a conspiratorial interpretation of texts between two FBI employees, one entirely unfounded in the actual evidence, got laundered from the fringe right-wing media to the right-wing mainstream through Fox News personalities — and eventually reached up to a member of Congress and the president of the United States.

When Trump dropped a few tweets with typos in them on Wednesday — again, a very normal Trump thing to do — QAnon followers went deep looking for hidden messages from Trump, noting his misspelling of "smoking" as "smocking" had a conspiratorial meaning and that multiple typos added up to a hidden message about, of course, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

It's easy to forget that Rubio's campaign floundered until he adopted a dark, conspiratorial message in January—about Hillary Clinton's supposedly calculated lies to the families of Benghazi victims; about President Obama's supposedly deliberate efforts to sabotage the United States and weaken it "on the global stage"—at which point his appeal within the party (among both voters and elites) began to rise.

What Breitbart did, what conspiratorial far-right radio programs did, what Donald Trump himself did (to say nothing of what the silent contributors to the political landscape did), was ensure that what far-right pundits were talking about became what everyone was talking about, what everyone had to talk about, if they wanted to keep abreast of the day's news cycle.

For the most part this is just kind of dumb and funny; it's a bit embarrassing for a finished hardware product to have phrases with a conspiratorial slant inside of them, but it's also affecting buyers in zero meaningful ways as it's not visible unless you pry it open, which you have limited reason to do unless you are indeed iFixit.

Written and directed by Andy McKay and starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell, the film mixes some fact with heaps of conspiratorial fiction to such a laughable extreme that viewers are left wondering if the propaganda ministers of a hostile foreign nation contrived the film to undermine Americans' confidence in our political, judicial and media institutions.

A revival of anti-Semitism on the far right has already claimed lives, but has yet to prompt any introspection on the part of a party willing to deploy conspiratorial rhetoric about the influence of George Soros and comfortable with backing a president who insisted that there were, somewhere, fine people in the crowds shouting "Jews will not replace us" in Charlottesville.

The research discovered that coordinated disinformation and propaganda campaigns promoted consistent anti-Western themes, including skewed presentations of Russia's historical ties with Georgia; characterization of NATO as a weak organization that is incapable of protecting Georgia; advocacy of LGBTQ rights as a conspiratorial threat to Georgia's traditional values; and hysterical coloring of greater Western integration as a threat to Georgia's national identity.

There may be a new secret album title Now, we're not suggesting that Kanye indirectly broke any embargo (although celebrities knowing stuff before the rest of the world is a time-honored tradition) nor are we saying he has ties to the Illuminati (that's more a Beyoncé thing, and besides, West already went on the record last year denying any ties to the famous conspiratorial entity).

As for Trump — whose campaign theatrics feel like a one-man show, and whose history as a registered Democrat can make his contorted appeals to the far right seem like put-ons — well, not for nothing is there a conspiratorial segment insisting that his candidacy is a winking performance, which will eventually end with the admission that he may have laid it on a little thick.

For the record, I don't think the following is in any way true, or that the Buzzer is an actual numbers station, but the Buzzer has broadcast a continuous pulse for about 40 years, and there are some slightly conspiratorial theories suggesting that it's linked to a Soviet doomsday program called Perimeter, which was meant to launch an automated nuclear attack if the USSR was attacked.

They careened, like a Twitter feed, from topic to topic: Donald Trump, the Mercer family, Jack Dorsey, Peter Thiel, 4chan, the tactics of ideological warfare on the internet, Ted's family, Ted's combination of medications, our brains scalding under an ever-hotter torrent of bad information, and Lane Davis, a rising star in the far-right media world who had just murdered his father in a spasm of conspiratorial rage.

He said: For example, if you are able to create profiling algorithms that can predict certain traits — so let's say a high degree of openness and a high degree of neuroticism — and when you look at that profiles that's the profile of a person who's more prone towards conspiratorial thinking, for example, they're open enough to kind of connect to things that may not really seem reasonable to your average person.

Born in Texarkana, Texas, in 21992, Perot had a strange, colorful, and occasionally conspiratorial life (and billions made after founding Electronic Data Systems in 1962) that took him around the world — like Vietnam, where he attempted a humanitarian mission to fly food and medicine to American prisoners or war in 1969, and Iran, where he staged a commando raid to rescue two of his employees from prison in 1979.

First Read is a morning briefing from Meet the Press and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter President Trump's assertion — without evidence — that Barack Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower during the 2016 election started as a "conspiratorial rant" on conservative talk radio, got picked up by Breitbart News, and then moved over to the president's Twitter feed, the New York Times writes.
