The epidemic has brought previously obscure conspiracy ideas to the attention of a broader public. The chemical adrenochrome is one that is on the verge of becoming mainstream. It comes in several overlapping variants, as do many conspiracy theories. The fact that adrenochrome has widely sought effects yet can only be obtained from scared prisoners, ideally, youngsters are central to them.
Various Hollywood celebrities, prominent Democrats, and a few billionaires are said to be taking mind-altering excursions or keeping themselves young in this fashion, according to the accounts. The youngsters in these stories were sexually molested since trauma was said to make the chemical more effective.
If the finest conspiracy theories have a kernel of truth, this one is a disaster. The only significant point is that there is a molecule called adrenochrome, which is connected to adrenaline. By oxidizing the hormone adrenaline, which is known for triggering animals’ fight-or-flight response, adrenochrome (3-hydroxy-1-methyl-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indole-5,6-dione) may be generated.
Several people, including Aldous Huxley, believed in the 1950s that adrenochrome had psychedelic properties akin to mescaline and might contribute to schizophrenia. Whether or not this is true is debatable, but if you are looking for a mind-altering chemical, there are options that are more dependable available, including some with potentially good side effects.
In two of his writings, American novelist Hunter S Thompson refers to adrenochrome as a superdrug, maybe because of reading Huxley. “There’s just one source for this stuff… the adrenaline glands from a real human body,” Dr Gonzo informs the narrator in 1971’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
If you obtain it from a corpse, it’s useless.” Terry Gilliam claims Thompson informed him he made up the drug after he filmed the book. Although Gilliam was unaware of the existence of adrenochrome, Thompson’s true beliefs and sources of knowledge died with him.
The concept spread from there, whether it was because the narrative was too fantastic to resist or because people assumed Thompson’s extensive experience with drugs meant he knew what he was talking about. The adrenochrome myth has lately blended with a far earlier one.
For millennia, “blood libel” accusations of satanic ceremonies involving the blood of innocents have been used to incite hate towards religious and sexual minorities. That narrative, on the other hand, had grown stale and needed to freshen up. Thompson’s adrenochrome story was precisely what the doctor ordered. As a result, the legend of “harvesting adrenochrome from the blood of children” arose.
Almost every famous opponent of Donald Trump is accused of using adrenochrome in the darkest parts of the Internet. A world-controlling cabal persuaded people who had no concept of what adrenochrome was that it harvested from abducted and tortured youngsters.
Even inside the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy ecosystems, some people regard the adrenochrome narrative to be too humiliating to propagate outright. However, references to it are ubiquitous, and some prominent personalities are clearer about it. After all, if you think a pizza restaurant that holds pedophilic orgies in its non-existent basement hosts occasional fundraisers for Democrat politicians, the inclusion of adrenochrome farms is not difficult to accept.
However, when Infowars claimed that the Clinton Foundation was selling children’s blood to keep people young; it sparked a larger right-wing campaign. A thousand YouTube videos appeared, claiming that adrenochrome was the secret element in the transfusion. Something so weak in substance would have expected to die away, but instead, it persists, causing genuine harm to the people believers professes to wish to aid. Others try to make money by posing as adrenochrome sellers (via cryptocurrencies of course).
There are many more branches to this fractal dream, which are explored in detail on other websites. The most basic counter-argument is that not anyone who wants adrenochrome (even for its function in treating excessive bleeding) has to torture children to acquire it.
Although humans can manufacture adrenochrome because of adrenaline, it is also simple to synthesize — and, more crucially, inexpensive. It is improbable that someone, no matter how terrible you believe they are, would conduct crimes that, if discovered, would result in execution or life sentences for a substance that costs a few pennies each dosage.
