Let me explain. Out of all the conspiracies I engaged with recreationally, this one is one of the few that actually seem legit. This one, the Stargate Project, MKUltra, and that one about the secretive group of elites running the world. Maybe that Bush indirectly contributed to the tragedy of 9/11.

So here’s the deal. There was this guy, and he made this dye, and the US military (the go-to guinea pigs) tested this dye in nightvision goggles, and allegedly they saw demons and stuff. Now, I don’t know about all that. I’m not sure an ex-military guy talking about how he saw demons flying alongside his helicopter in Vietnam is a legitimate source of information. But it IS suspicious that all the research into the topic was silenced. That the dye itself is a regulated substance, even though it isn’t dangerous enough to justify that. And that anyone who dares to try and verify these claims is discredited. I’m not saying this is actually what people say this is, but it for sure smells like something is up.

Does anyone have any actually confirmed information about this dye? Because trying to research it is a bit of a roller coaster of extreme skeptics, 5 star reviews on strange websites, and a general feeling of confusion. Also, a lot of threads going cold without an explanation. Does anyone here know ANYTHING about this?

    I’m kind of interested in how you acknowledge you might be having a psychotic episode yet are deeply interested in determining facts.

    Is this the sort of thing you go back and forth on, into and out of, often? Can you tell me about that process of being attracted to a theory, believing it, then falling out of that belief?

    Yknow, I wish I believed humans were competent enough to keep these sorts of things secret.

    We can’t even do the easy shit consistently, what makes you think that even if this was true, the secret could be maintained?

    There’s similar conspiracies, like this Russian dude found broken glass that, when he looks through it, he sees orbs hovering over places… Like cloaked shit is all around us. He’s posted videos.

    Found his channel

    Easy enough to fake, sure, but I do pay attention to stories about orbs because they are super common UFO sightings.

    I went somewhat deep in the dye conspiracy, couldn’t find anything that seemed legit. I think scammers do take advantage of it and sell fake dye goggles. It got popular enough that you likely won’t find legit stuff without making it yourself and I’m not sure how easy that is.
