"Secret tunnels" in the Satanic Panic, "secret tunnels" in Clinton/Obama's FEMA camps

"Secret tunnels" leading to detention facilities in Target in Jade Helm, "secret tunnels" in Pizzagate, "secret tunnels" from Qanon, "secret tunnels", "secret tunnels"...

For the sake of humor, we've got so many secret tunnels, I'm just picturing labyrinthine networks and networks of tunnels for different conspiracies all intersecting with each other; you've got one guy bringing shuttles of illegal immigrants to replace white "Real Americans" (tm) coming from one side and you've got another guy on a forklift with a pallet of George Soros cash-money for antifa, people who say "black lives matter" and those pesky kids who don't want to be shot in school, and they see each other, give each other a honk, and say to each other, "Hey Al!" and "Hey Bob!"

Has anybody tried, I dunno, a shovel? Or go to your basement with a pickaxe and go to town. I'm sure you'll reach a secret tunnel eventually. That's just how many there are, right?

I don't want to call people idiots, but... If any of these conspiracy theorists actually win elections, we need to have lots of questions about secret tunnels ready to go.

1. Don't forget the clones that have apparently replaced celebrities who've already been arrested!

When I first read about that one, I was sure it was a parody. Sad to say, they were completely serious.

Oh, and the Wayfair catalog nonsense! That's a hell of a bizarre one.

They're far beyond reason at this point.

3. I wonder what gives them such overactive imaginations.

There are grown men, even the majority of people in local government where I live, who believe there are roving bands of gay men who just can't wait to take them to secret torture chambers and just force them to have gay sex. I have learned just how wacko these people are since coming out back in the late 80s. They believe all sorts of outlandish things like that and the stuff you mentioned too. Plus, they have their racist conspiracy theories too. They have outlandish conspiracy theories for just about anything you can name.

My question is:
Why is their kind of crazy not considered a mental illness, but any person having problems coping with so many people around them, even many in local government, being that kind of crazy, is considered mentally ill? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

A woman recently had complaints about the abuse and neglect at my county's animal shelter. She took pictures and everything. When local government here finally addressed the issue at all, they immediately called her mentally ill while simultaneously bragging that they "only had to pay 10 fines" for all the violations at the animal shelter. My tax dollars are not being spent well at all here. I know that much. She's not mentally ill just because she doesn't want the shelter animals being abused and neglected, but that's how they tag and destroy anyone who doesn't follow their deranged, sadistic conspiracy theories and their way of life, which includes animal abuse along with raping at least one lesbian that I know of, from firsthand experience.

Those of us who won't play along with their kind of crazy get labeled mentally ill in my hometown. And yes, their conspiracy theories always include secret tunnels and secret torture chambers. It is their right out in the open kind of crazy that I'm more worried about.

11. To create that many tunnels, wouldn't you need to hire people to do it. And, wouldn't one or some..

of those tunnel builders say something to someone? "Hey, I just built this secret tunnel under a pizza parlor."

Now, you could go with the King Maegor strategy and kill the tunnel builders immediately after they built the tunnels, but then you'd have to dispose of the bodies. And, their loved ones would be asking questions.

14. That's right. And they'd need lighting and ventilation too!

You just can't stop with structural engineers, you'd need electricians, and HVAC technicians too.

And you'd have to keep guys around too, in the event of, say, an earthquake, or keeping water out. My basement leaked like crazy, I'm picturing the same would happen to secret tunnels.

And then you'd have to control over municipalities and zoning too. Picture if someone wanted to build something and it meant crossing where the tunnel is or something to maintain it. They'd have to be denied or they'd bring out everyone to work around it to make sure the secret was kept.

And then all the dirt to make it, maintaining it, replacing parts. You'd need secret waste disposal personnel... secret waste disposal sites.

At the rate this is going, a chunk of the country is employed just to work on secret tunnels and a chunk of our infrastructure and economy is about maintaining the secret tunnels.

They're lined with the bones of republicans that have been sacrificed and babies.
