It’s not that they didn’t believe them, it’s that they knew and either covered it up or turn the other way.
I feel like you’re still giving them the benefit of the doubt.

What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

We can’t seem to agree that they should be protected from abuse or genocide either. The world decided long ago that children are expendable. It’s so depressing.
If we can’t agree, as a nation, that childhood should not be spent in captivity, I truly don’t know where we go from here.

I absolutely give Dems credit when I think they deserve credit! Just the other day, Rep. Jayapal and Sen. Markey introduced a trans bill of rights. It won't go anywhere, but it's nice hearing elected officials openly state their support in a real way.

The amount of money the US government spent on troops in DC in 2025 ($223m) would have been enough to give the city's ~5,100 homeless residents each $43,000. Instead, federal troops destroyed their meager encampments.
"Federal troop deployments to U.S. cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month." www.cbo.gov/publication/...

The Israel/US Gaza expansion. This is what it was always about. It was the right attack at the right time for Netanyahu to kill everyone and make it happen. Everyone was just too afraid to call him out.
The plan promises coastal tourism, free trade, skyscrapers and jobs. But the people of Gaza have not been consulted.
