I live a life mostly free of conspiracy theories (and conspiracy theorists). So it was with some surprise that I pulled this single from my wallet this afternoon and saw the stamps some conspiracy theorist had festooned it with:
The Federal Reserve is
Privately Owned
This money is backed by
Nothing
Privately Owned
This money is backed by
Nothing
All righty, then.
I showed it to my friend Anna, who graciously did a pseudo-Norma Desmond impression for me holding the worthless little piece of paper in question.
One has to wonder if the person who bartered to have the stamp made (since money is worthless) only crusades about the Federal Reserve Bank. I'm left wondering whether he also rails on about the New World Order, or chemtrails, or the idea that the moon landings were faked.
On reflection, I suspect not. Conspiracy theorists are loyal to their theories, and this guy (I can't imagine it's a woman) gets his jollies telling the rest of us about this theory -- and stamping money in the process.
