The Santa Claus Conspiracy
Here's one that never gets mentioned when discussing Conspiracy Theories.
Every year, millions of people, including world governments and media and popular culture as a whole, take part in a huge international conspiracy. And every year, a number of souls attempt to bust this conspiracy, only to be shouted down and cast as villains. The purpose of this conspiracy? To make children think that some fat dude brings presents if they are good. It has all the earmarks of a classic conspiracy: The False Flag event to modify behavior, the Big Lie presenting impossible feats as real, even tantalizing clues purposefully spread throughout the Official Story for those In The Know. There are even a number of JREFers who are part of it. Are you one of them? Merry Christmas! |

Not me. I can't see believing in something so ridiculous.
Excuse me, I have to go. I'm late for Mass. |

I find the whole Santa Claus situation rather strange, 364 days of the year we all warn children to stay away from elderly men with beards but on Xmas day we condone one prowling around their bedrooms unaccompanied.

What is so CT about Santa Clause? I have seen him many times myself, so how can he be anything other than real?
The number of people who must be in on it must be huge if he were fake. Where are the leaks about the issue? He has been around for centuries and no leaks? |

Are you suggesting that the heroic firefighters and police officers are liars when they tell their children that Santa exists? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Wasn't this already addressed and totally debunked in the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" episode?
