Marilyn Monroe was murdered

Marilyn Monroe was murdered by the US government. She frequently attempted suicide and then called someone via her landline next to her bed to come save her. When she died, no traces of it were found within her stomach and her colon had been extremely cleaned. A theory is that she was murdered via enema poisoning.

The Dairy Queen conspiracy

Use to live in a small town in South Dakota and I am convinced there is something in the food/water there to keep people there. Im partially convinced it’s actually the Dairy Queen causing this, because for a town of 7000, this place is always sooo busy and somehow, every year for the past 11 years(the entire length of this competition), sells the most blizzards on ‘Miracle Treat Day’… A town of 7000 out sells every other Dairy Queen?!?

There’s also some other things in that the town has a significant amount of people all with very similar disabilities to their left legs. I honestly am just glad I’m out of that town before it sucked me in, but how the hell does that small ass town sell 40,000 blizzards in a day?!?

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
