An unlikely Conspiracy Theory gains momentum
Ever since the 1960’s with the CIA’s attempts to discredit the John F. Kennedy Assassination, conspiracy theories have been created in order to provide the impossible desire of an event. This forming a certain possibility that can make something so farfetched seem so unreal. Other examples being 9/11, Paul McCartney, the moon landing and the Reptilian Elite have been created all to try to make farfetch possibilities come true. However, has there been a theory that actually was true? If not, that the people actually believed happen?
The current Presidential Election proves that anything can happen. Things like a racist bigot, a socialist, and a indestructable name that can be raked through the mud and will still be viewed as gold. This leaves the one and only Ted Cruz. Three years ago however, there was an instance with the birth of a new conspiracy theory for the candidate. Offered by the Red Pill America, they claimed that before he announced his candidacy, that the speech Ted Cruz gave was titled: “This Is The Zodiac Speaking”.
This one instance created a new world of conspiracy as people across the United States try putting the pieces together to see if this theory can be the truth. From everything from the birthplace of Ted Cruz, Calgary, is the name of the first two victims, Cal and Gary, to the encryption showing his name in it, and even to his own “Ted Cruz 2016” forming “ 2 True Z0d16C”.
The difference between this theory and the others: that this theory is picking up steam. According to a recent Public Policy Polling study, 38% of Florida voters think it’s possible Cruz is the Zodiac Killer, 10% say he for sure is the serial murderer. With becoming the prefered candidate for Anti-Trump voters, Ted Cruz votes have actually only have gone up ever since the conspiracy theory had become popular. If anything, being the Zodiac Killer has only benefited Ted Cruz.
The problem though, is that this isn’t something to joke about. What if Ted Cruz is actually the Zodiac Killer and soon he might be responsible with the nuclear launch code. Maybe this is the big plan that the Freemasons or the Illuminati want in order to claim world power. Until Ted Cruz openly comes out and states that he is not the Zodiac Killer, which he has not done so in the three years this has been an issue, then the same bet is to keep this potential gateway for these secret societies out of office.
