X683: It's a Conspiracy! From Aliens to the XYZ Affair in Splash Spring 18 (Mar. 31, 2018)
“Did you hear that?” “No, what?” “That sound, like an authority figure trying to tell me what to do.” “Are you okay?” “How can I be okay when the world is conspiring against me!?” Have you ever felt like you were being lied to or cheated by the government? Have you been called crazy by your friends for sharing with them your entirely valid concerns? Do you not believe in any conspiracy theories but find them interesting/thought-provoking/hilarious? Then this is the class for you! We will go over a bunch of mainstream (and far off the mainstream) conspiracy theories! We will also bring food, because, as we all know, handing out free food is the best way to make people listen to you (just add a circus and it will be like Ancient Rome). So come learn what the people screaming on the streets are all about! Or maybe we’ll just drain your souls and use your bodies as puppets to serve our own nefarious purposes, you really can’t be sure.
