* In a world where [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve collective belief warps reality]], conspiracy theories in ''ComicBook/TheDepartmentOfTruth'' manifest as real-life monsters, selective memories and other anomalous activity, things that only grown more and more dangerous the more sense they make to people. One of the Department of Truth's jobs is to decentralized conspiracies in a way so that not too many people can latch onto the same idea in a "too many cooks spoils the pot" kind of way. Oswald gives an example of various inane theories -- citing theories like Obama being from Kenya, that 9/11 was an inside job and everything [=QAnon=] ever says -- and asks Cole to put them all together. Cole is able to weave a linear, ongoing narrative based around these facts where the world is being controlled by a globalist Shadow Government, Obama is the Antichrist and the War on Terror was all a plot to destroy America, a "big picture" that the Department is trying to prevent.
