Thread by @AnitaBFreed

Conspiracy theory series created by @shanedawson is presented in large 90min+ chunks, in a flashy format of several stories/theories woven together. Appealing to the short attention spans of his younger audience, while staying monetized/promoted by YT.

The following thread is a brief breakdown of the topics so far covered by the @shanedawson series... Much more enlightening than the pizza story that has overshadowed it.

1. The Chuck E. Cheese pizza story is presented, suggesting that the restaurant/gaming chain reheats and serves leftover pizza slices, forming a new pizza. This segment has outshined the rest of the content due to legal controversy.

It is no coincidence it is the focus.

2. Human Trafficking, Serbian sex rings, and the perils of online dating.
Shane presents the personal story of his friend Brittani Taylor, who believes she was targeted by her ex, in an attempt to sell her and/or her baby into a trafficking ring in Serbia. Legal evidence shown.

3. Voice simulation software and it's possible nefarious applications. Shane covers Adobe Voco (never released to public) and does a demonstration of Lyrebird (available to all).
Disturbing.

4. Deep Fakes video software is covered. Including examples and warnings about it's current pornographic use, possibilities for blackmail, and even political applications. Which combined with viral social media could lead to disasters, even war.

5. Covert listening IPhones.
In several segments Shane touches on many ways we are being monitored by our phones, including the infamous FaceTime "glitch" and the Zapeto app. If you have a phone they have 360 view of your private life.
It's always on.
Always listening.

6. California Wildfires
Shane visits the burn zone in person and presents reasons why many think that the recent fires may have been the results of direct energy weapons.

An official cause has yet to be released.

7. Mind Control and Children.
A history of conditioning children to certain things, particularly suicidal ideation and inadequacy, through cartoons, nursery rhymes, board games, internet content and more.

8. Google Search Jamming.
Shane explains how Google and other companies co-opt search terms to hide particular results. Example: Disney creating a movie named "Frozen" to bury results about Walt Disney's goal to be cryogenically preserved.

9. Subliminal Messages in marketing.
A brief overview of just some of the tricks used to manipulate us into spending more. From jamming and overeloading our senses, to hidden sexual themes, even with children involved.

While the series is not fully released, it is clear that @shanedawson has used his 10+ years of YouTuber experience to create an amazing starting place for his younger audience members to find topics to further enlighten them. In a way that subverts the YT system to remain up.

The media focuses on the Chuck E. Cheese story almost exclusively, not even mentioning the deeper point he makes of the chain normalizing and exposing gambling to kids.

This is intentional, as what results will you get if you search for "pizza conspiracy"?

What happens when you search all the terms and topics covered?

Pizza Conspiracy
Human Trafficking
Voice Simulation
Deep Fakes
Covert Monitoring
Direct Energy Weapons
Mind Control

Some kids are getting woke.

Looking forward to the rest of the series.
