What's the Deal With Conspiracies?

Some of you might know that I own a YouTube and Podcast alongside Joel Sexton (@Yeddish on Twitter) called Indie Intellect. We recently released our second conspiracy theory video called "3 Conspiracies You Need to Know About!" and previously had made a more controversial one called "Are You Being Manipulated"
As we release these videos there is something I want to emphasize. Conspiracy theories are not just a fun pastime and a crazy mans way of thinking. What they really are, are ways of processing the world outside of what make sense or what has been told to us. Sometimes these ideas are just crazy but sometimes there is a hint of truth to them. Is worth looking into? One man named Syed Adnan would say so.
In 1999 Adnan was convicted of murder and until recently that was fact. Thanks to the popular podcasts Serial, Undisclosed and Truth and Justice (formerly known as Serial Dynasty) more and more people have been discovering that Syed Adnan was more than likely set up by the Baltimore police department. 15 years after being put into jail and Adnan is facing a retrial with a real possibility of being released. Why? Because one person decided to look into this crazy conspiracy theory!
Sometimes it's hard to believe these things but I implore you to look into those three podcasts to hear a real crazy conspiracy that is proof of why you really always need to question everything you hear.

Here are our two videos.

Red Leaf

Sometimes I get a hint of it. I pore it in my coffee sometimes and some will get on my finger. If I lick it off I then can not think of anything I would rather do than down a spoon full. I dream of the north and pancakes and waffles... but then I remember.. it's not what I think it is. It's only the fructose of some cultivated weed pretending to be the sap of the majestic trees towering over northern Americas. The fulfilment of the promised land flowing with milk and honey that Columbus dreamt of in 1492. Honey tainted and honey pure..
It stands on it's own and the villain in the South dressed in sheep's clothing.. dressed in red leaves. Ligning our market shelves screaming "I AM WHAT YOU THINK I AM" and we know it's lies. but it's still sweet.. majestic. A fulfillment of prophecies not spoken to us. But we receive it."

Someday I may find myself happy with pancakes as innocent as baby cubs bathed in your essence. Till then this thick substance will hold me captive both reminding me of your glory and it's fassod.
