If They Say “That’s A Conspiracy Theory” Then It’s Probably True…

by Johnny Vedmore

On Monday 20th of January 2025, the independent media will choose its side again. We are currently within one of the many transitionary periods we’ve experienced in the indie media. The repositioning of assets by agencies and other controlling parties has a big influence on where many so-called “independent voices” sit when the turbulence abates and the new, more permanent era begins.

People don’t realise what supporting the government means and much of the independent media has now got into bed with the government. An abundance of promises were made and I’d expect to see a gradual change of rhetoric now that the supposed anti-Establishmentarians have made it into power. Firstly, we will likely hear a re-framing of the immigration debate.

The initial hardliners who talked tough about the need to “send them back”, an approach which garnered a lot of extra support and may have been a defining factor in the election itself, will begin to claim that what they meant was the need to improve access to legal means to immigration and to speed up the process. Eric Weinstein, who once helped to design—to use his own words at the time—a “flagship program” for the UN’s economic migration policies, has already signalled his want to be involved. Elon Musk and Riley Gaines have also started pitching that legal migration should be made easier which is a proverbial psychological nudge away from what the core of the Republican electorate voted for.

In the UK, we made many promises about controlling immigration during Brexit and since then migration levels have doubled. We should always be aware that the promises politicians make usually turn out to be heavily conditional and illusory. Just because the coming Trump administration has publicly rejected wokism and certain tenets of Globalism, doesn’t mean that their policies will be opposed to the values of those who are leaving office.

The ineffectual levers of power will be the same levers that the incoming administration will have at their disposal. Any temporary agency created under Trump can be rescinded in four years when the administration to follow takes charge. The rigidity of the mechanisms of control, alongside democratic oversight, tends to leave those wanting radical reform to be rather disappointed. Radical reform is hard at the best of times, if anything too adventurous is attempted, a financial collapse, a costly conflict, or even another perpetual pandemic will be enacted to scupper any desire for real change.

One thing that I was expecting to see manifest has already begun. When I published the article revealing that Elon Musk had been trained in mass psychological manipulation by the father of Nudge theory via an Epstein-funded course, some of those from the supposedly independent media community called me a conspiracy theorist. Even though all of the information to prove what I was saying was publicly available, including minutes of the training sessions, some supposed independent media accounts began using the terminology of the liberal media.

The term “conspiracy theorist” in essence is identical in meaning to the term “investigative journalist” and has been used to smear those who reveal inconvenient facts about those in power. Now that those who many independent media pundits have supported are becoming the government, their rhetoric is transforming into the rhetoric of the Mainstream Media they criticise. Eric Weinstein attempted a similar gambit with me after I revealed his previous position working for the United Nations in another article which I released recently.

As the Mainstream dies and is replaced by this neo-Mainstream infrastructure, the new kids on the block will adapt their style to incorporate part of the preceding system. This is part of the process of synthesis. More often than not, the old and the new oppose each other until they eventually become each other. In an attempt to adapt to power, the new guard incorporates the tools of the previous masters.

For instance, Elon Musk will help rebrand economic migration as legal economic migration by lobbying to make it easier to become a US citizen. You will see the rebranding of the illegal migrant crisis change as Donald Trump’s administration prepares to take the reins. It will be reformed into an argument to make legal immigration easier, essentially taking the “illegal” out of illegal immigration. Levels of immigration won’t change because, as stated in Eric Weinstein’s UN document, it will lower the wages of the native population and that suits big business. If a load of big businessmen take charge, do you really think that they won’t aim to benefit from the policies they introduce?

The so-called “indie media” is mostly not independent. You can trace back the funding of almost every outlet to questionable organisations which is the reason most indie media types hide their funding. The fact is, the faux independent media are now the ones who can sway the electorate because they appear to be working for the greater good when in reality they’re more likely to be working for the benefit of Greater Israel; or the Great Reset; or the Great Replacement; or any other version of a Third Way; a Third Culture; or a Game B. As someone once told me: “the bandwagon is a lively place until you have to face the music and dance.”

So, as I started off by saying, we are in a transitionary phase. The old world is stuttering to a stop, with their Mainstream Media; their woke culture wars; and military conflicts aplenty. The new world is showing itself, with its neo-mainstream media; its anti-woke culture wars; and military conflicts aplenty. There is not much difference between the two paradigms. The new media will still use smears, disinformation and lies to keep control; the people wielding the weapons of the culture wars will still tell everyone else how they should be living their lives and what they should be thinking; and the wars will still be used to placate the military-industrial complex.

Before Trump is officially inaugurated as president, if he makes it until then, the members of the independent media who supported his candidacy can still live in this bubble of optimistic fervour. However, when he is crowned king, the same people in the indie media who campaigned for Trump will have to stand by their man. It is likely that Trump’s presidency will begin with a global crisis, probably with Russia playing a big part, and that may form an initial distraction, but once they realise that economic migration will be made easier; the JFK files won’t be released; and that no official body can or will release an Epstein client list, disappointment will set in.

People tell all sorts of lies to gain power, this is well known. They also decry other people’s behaviour to gain popularity, only to repeat similar behaviour when they gain power. In two months, we’ll see the end of this phase and the independent media will enter a reckoning. Either they’ll stand fast and have to tread the impossible path of supporting the government’s every action, or they’ll submit to using identical tactics to the MSM who they’ve lambasted and derided. Regardless, we make our own beds and then have to lie in them.

What this experience has really drilled home to me is something that many of us had already realised. If those who want to control the narrative label something as a “conspiracy theory” that probably means it’s true.
