So today we're gonna be discussing conspiracy theories.
- 00:04 - 00:09
Um, I'm gonna go over a conspiracy theory that I actually find very interesting.
- 00:09 - 00:10
Um, first,
- 00:10 - 00:13
we need to understand the difference between
- 00:13 - 00:15
a real conspiracy and a conspiracy theory.
- 00:15 - 00:19
So the dictionary defines a conspiracy theory as the
- 00:19 - 00:25
belief that some cover but influential organization is responsible
- 00:25 - 00:29
for our circumstance or event versus a real conspiracy
- 00:29 - 00:32
is something that has actually come to life,
- 00:32 - 00:32
Um,
- 00:33 - 00:36
or a conspiracy that has come to life.
- 00:36 - 00:37
Um, for example.
- 00:37 - 00:41
So I'm gonna go over my conspiracy theory,
- 00:41 - 00:45
which is the secret base hidden inside the, uh, down
- 00:45 - 00:46
to Mexico.
- 00:46 - 00:48
Uh, so the
- 00:48 - 00:50
police or the
- 00:50 - 00:56
accusations coming up really started around in the 19 thirties. Um, and it became
- 00:57 - 01:00
very more so popular around the 19 seventies.
- 01:01 - 01:05
Um, and the belief is is that,
- 01:05 - 01:06
um,
- 01:07 - 01:10
the government is using a underground base,
- 01:10 - 01:13
a secret underground base inside of this mesa,
- 01:13 - 01:19
um, to perform and conducting experiments on alien life forms.
- 01:20 - 01:23
There was a big contributor during all this. His name was,
- 01:24 - 01:30
uh, he claimed to be a former employee who helped with the construction of the base.
- 01:30 - 01:32
Ah, and he also
- 01:32 - 01:38
he also began to spread. Um, uh, the rumors that there was,
- 01:38 - 01:41
um, a hidden base inside of the,
- 01:42 - 01:45
uh he even claimed, uh,
- 01:45 - 01:47
alien life forms himself.
- 01:47 - 01:49
And then a firefight broke out between the alien
- 01:49 - 01:52
life forms and soldiers while he was down there,
- 01:52 - 01:54
and he had lost multiple fingers.
- 01:54 - 01:54
Um,
- 01:55 - 01:59
this is all you know, This is all things that he had said, Um,
- 01:59 - 02:00
possibly the real people.
- 02:00 - 02:00
And,
- 02:00 - 02:02
um, to believing,
- 02:02 - 02:03
believing his story.
- 02:04 - 02:05
Um,
- 02:05 - 02:05
yeah.
- 02:07 - 02:13
So it's a base is like when it was created, created a lot of tension.
- 02:13 - 02:14
Or like when
- 02:14 - 02:16
people started to think that something was up,
- 02:16 - 02:20
it created a lot of tension between the locals and the government.
- 02:20 - 02:25
So the locals there are on in Indian reservation.
- 02:26 - 02:27
Um,
- 02:28 - 02:30
and with that,
- 02:30 - 02:31
uh,
- 02:32 - 02:33
with that
- 02:33 - 02:38
conspiracy coming up that there is a base hidden within, uh, within the message,
- 02:38 - 02:40
they're created a lot of distrust between
- 02:40 - 02:42
the locals in the United States government.
- 02:43 - 02:45
Um, they noticed, uh,
- 02:46 - 02:49
a lot of cow mutilation in the area.
- 02:49 - 02:50
Um, and they
- 02:50 - 02:54
just linked it to their being a base.
- 02:55 - 02:55
Um,
- 02:56 - 02:56
yeah.
- 02:57 - 03:00
They also saw, you know, a lot of in an hour activity
- 03:00 - 03:02
that they just kind of, you know,
- 03:03 - 03:05
connected to the base as well,
- 03:05 - 03:09
even though there's no actual visual proof that there is a base there.
- 03:09 - 03:10
Um,
- 03:11 - 03:15
the coincidences that are happening around the area
- 03:15 - 03:17
just just give them a little bit more,
- 03:17 - 03:18
um,
- 03:19 - 03:22
light to believe the fact that there is a base there.
- 03:23 - 03:24
Um,
- 03:24 - 03:28
but with the lack of physical evidence with the lack of being able to see anything,
- 03:28 - 03:32
whether it be actual structures that the base is,
- 03:33 - 03:33
um,
- 03:34 - 03:36
it makes it very hard to believe
- 03:37 - 03:39
that there is a
- 03:40 - 03:41
underground base
- 03:41 - 03:43
being kept up
- 03:44 - 03:46
under under this mesa.
- 03:46 - 03:51
Um, so it turns really more into, uh, he said she said kind of thing, you know,
- 03:51 - 03:53
with the local saying, Oh,
- 03:53 - 03:56
you know, there is this base and the government saying, Yeah,
- 03:56 - 03:58
no, there's not. You don't know what you're talking about.
- 03:59 - 04:00
Um,
- 04:01 - 04:04
so but this creates a lot of problems because
- 04:05 - 04:06
the
- 04:06 - 04:10
the government has already already doesn't hold a lot of trust. Um,
- 04:11 - 04:15
with the with the Native Americans. Um,
- 04:16 - 04:18
so it makes it really difficult for them,
- 04:18 - 04:21
like the situations like this makes it very difficult, um,
- 04:21 - 04:24
for them to gain their trust back.
- 04:24 - 04:25
Uh,
- 04:26 - 04:29
this this reservation that these people live on this reservation
- 04:29 - 04:32
that these people live on its own Apache reservation.
- 04:32 - 04:38
Uh, not only is it a reservation, but it's the headquarters, you know, um,
- 04:39 - 04:39
so
- 04:40 - 04:45
with with this information coming in and out in and out that there's the
- 04:45 - 04:50
secret base where they're operating out of and not giving any insight onto,
- 04:51 - 04:52
um,
- 04:52 - 04:55
you know, it makes it very easy for
- 04:55 - 05:00
for this reservation to spread that word to others
- 05:01 - 05:04
you know, to other Native American reservations around around the country.
- 05:05 - 05:08
Um, so I think it's really important,
- 05:09 - 05:10
um,
- 05:11 - 05:13
that this information kind of
- 05:13 - 05:15
the spread of misinformation
- 05:15 - 05:20
kind of come to a halt or even just fallen. Stop. Because
- 05:20 - 05:22
what happens is you know,
- 05:22 - 05:27
you've got these generations that are born into the world and that information
- 05:27 - 05:31
to them and the generation after them get born into the world that information
- 05:31 - 05:32
to them as well.
- 05:33 - 05:36
And so the tension is just never ending between the government,
- 05:37 - 05:38
um,
- 05:38 - 05:40
and the people of this area.
- 05:41 - 05:41
So it
- 05:43 - 05:44
it's just gonna
- 05:44 - 05:46
keep creating more and more attention between them,
- 05:46 - 05:49
and just more problems are going to arise.
- 05:50 - 05:52
So I think it's really important that the government do
- 05:53 - 05:56
what they possibly can to
- 05:56 - 06:00
seared, uh, everybody in the right direction that hey, there is No,
- 06:01 - 06:02
There is no
- 06:03 - 06:04
underground base, uh,
- 06:05 - 06:08
or any underground operations happening in this area.
- 06:08 - 06:11
And for them to prove that, I think would be helpful to,
- 06:11 - 06:12
um,
- 06:13 - 06:17
let the locals, you know, do their research, conducted research and, you know,
- 06:17 - 06:20
go up into that area, um,
- 06:20 - 06:23
and see what is going on
- 06:23 - 06:24
and also,
- 06:25 - 06:25
you know,
- 06:27 - 06:28
really like it.
- 06:28 - 06:33
Really show them that there's nothing to be concerned about.
- 06:33 - 06:36
Um, so really, You know,
- 06:37 - 06:39
in the end, what it comes down to what,
- 06:39 - 06:41
like what problems
- 06:42 - 06:45
Um, these conspiracy theories can have on people
- 06:46 - 06:46
is
- 06:47 - 06:51
like, This is a good example is it just continues to, um,
- 06:52 - 06:54
mistrust with the government.
- 06:54 - 06:57
We've already seen it before with the with the Native Americans.
- 06:57 - 07:00
And it's still an ongoing thing with the Native Americans and the government,
- 07:00 - 07:02
you know, with the
- 07:03 - 07:05
pipelines getting or being built, you know,
- 07:05 - 07:07
throughout reservations and stuff like that.
- 07:07 - 07:10
And the government going through these reservations to
- 07:10 - 07:12
use their resources and stuff like that and,
- 07:12 - 07:16
you know, doing things like this, you know, um,
- 07:16 - 07:20
even though it is likely not true that there is an underground base.
- 07:20 - 07:22
It's good to prove
- 07:22 - 07:24
that there is no underground base.
- 07:25 - 07:28
You know, it's going to prove not just not just necessarily,
- 07:28 - 07:31
that there's no underground base, because that's not always the situation,
- 07:31 - 07:36
but to disprove these things, to try to gain their trust back with,
- 07:36 - 07:38
uh, these local people.
