Conspiracy theorists

I did the same but a couple weeks ago... ended up analysing some Justin Bieber and Avicii music videos on YouTube after reading a Reddit post...

These two in particular:

Justin Bieber - Yummy (Official Video) - lots of references in this to food, old men, guy who looks like Podesta, children being the entertainment to powerful people, the red dress of the girl being next to Podesta lookalike at the end, baby photo of Bieber at the end underneath the plate.

Avicii - For a Better Day (Official Video) - basically a story about child traffickers getting their comeuppance.

The Linkin Park theory connected to that theory is interesting aswell. Chester Bennington is the spitting image of Podesta (of the infamous Podesta emails) and Chester has openly told stories of child abuse he suffered as a kid. Link that with his suicide and the suicide of his best mate. I know people said they were going to expose something.
Madness.

The pizzagate theory is one of the biggest going round at the moment, and to be honest, probably the most believable. Given what we've learnt about Epstein, Maxwell and Prince Andrew, makes you think there's a lot (and I mean a lot) going on that no one knows about. All those retracted names from the court releases last week, for example.

To me pizzagate is one of the least believeable. Was started with the most tenuous and flimsy evidence and then was tenuously linked to allsorts of other things like Epstein etc. The email hack was almost certainly carried out by Russia probably to destabilise the US and to influence the upcoming election.
 
Its all pier end entertaiment "roll up roll up" this conspiracy stuff, theyve seen you coming.
Take for instance the woo woo new age websites, flogging magic crystals or the madness of putting yourself in a wire shaped pyramid and donning purple pants (see Plazmuh)
Nutso political b ollox / 911 crazy theories or the latest Q Anon USA deep state theories see the latest nut blathering on about it.
These woo woo sites are designed to capture the attention of the confused and weak willed rednecks with a perchant for white supremacy. Seems everybody has given up on the sky fairies and people looking around for something to believe in.

That MK ultra is bonkers.

Ghosts, Supernatural, Nessie, UFO`s all fun I suppose and interesting but then its time to click close and have a good chuckle.
There is only science and reality to rely on isnt there.

Although emergence theory is far out, I think there is at least something.





BOO

Yeah I read that as well, thought it was a massive reach at first and then seen the two of them side by side and they are very alike :unsure:

Apparently he and Chris Cornell were working on some sort of documentary exposing child trafficking, but I'm not sure where the evidence is for this.

We probably will never know for sure what happened in Dallas, but Occam's Razor would suggest it was Oswald, and Oswald alone that shot JFK.

So, we have a crazed lone gunman, probably Oswald up in the room.
Start viewing from 10 mins in. When the car turns right into Houston there's ample time for the shot on the slow moving vehicle. It was right under the shooters position before the turn into Elm.
What's puzzled lots of people. Is why he waited for the car to move quite a distance away, the flowers on the grass mark the spot, before taking the much more difficult shot(s)

Didn't someone work out that Oswald would have had to be standing right in the window in order to take the easier shot as the car was coming towards him? The frame of the car windscreen would have been in the way if he was crouching. He would have been easy to spot, standing right in the window. The same thing as the car turned left. But as the car moved away, and cleared the tree, Oswald could move back into the room, shoot at an oblique an angle and not be spotted from the street.

There are a large number of ideas put forward in various articles about why some people are prone to believing conspiracy theories.

Here's a summary of some of the reasons found in various sources.

• A need for understanding and consistency
People often have a desire to derive certainty and understanding in an uncertain and sometimes confusing world. Belief in a conspiracy theory can be a way for people to feel that they do understand what's going on, thereby reducing the fear of uncertainty. This includes situations involving large-scale events, where more mundane or small-scale explanations seem inadequate, and situations where people experience distress over uncertainty.

• A need for control
There is evidence that people turn to conspiracy theories as a way of feeling safer and more in control. When people feel threatened by the nature of events that they see as beyond their control, they sometimes look to conspiracy theories to provide what they see as a more acceptable explanation, to avoid feeling they are at the mercy of events.

• A need to belong or feel special
Some researchers have hypothesized that by believing in conspiracies, people are able to feel better about themselves and their own social group. People often look for ways to boost their own self-perceptions. Feeling that you know about and can understand events in a way that others don't, can bolster the belief that you and the people you identify with are the ones with the real knowledge, making you superior to and distinct from those who believe in a simpler explanation. Also, when conspiracy theorists surf the internet for information they find (and sometimes interact with) others who hold similar beliefs. Thus, a belief in conspiracy theories can give them a sense of community.

Good post.
Sums it up imho, some read for fun and interest and a lot of people have ditched God in whatever form, so they seek Woo Woo , they find that science is difficult to understand and doesnt bring closure they need.

People like interesting stories too.

I'd go further. It's not just that we like interesting stories, it is that stories are essential to our very survival. Every decision we make is down to us telling a story, every memory we have is a story which we continually edit, re-construct and merge with other experiences, not just our own experiences either.

good post and of course this explains the biggest conspiracy theory in the history of mankind....god.

Understanding and consistency: God made it
Need for control: If I follow gods instructions I will have a happy life
Belong/Feel Special: I am part of my local christian/muslim/hindu group and we are gods chosen people

The biggest, biggest conspiracy of all time is the universe. It can't possibly exist. As can't time.

Here's a conspiracy theory that has actually come true.
Click to expand...

What’s the conspiracy theory here?
Lady refuses to have covid test before entering hospital housing lots of vulnerable people and a number of medical professionals who could potentially catch covid from said lady, then have to self isolate denying medical procedures to further poorly people, so she is refused surgery as it’s against published policy, until either the pandemic situation changes or she is happy to have a covid test?

I don’t get it?
 
Or do you think she just shouldn’t have to have a covid test if she doesn’t want to, perhaps because she doesn’t believe in all this covid nonsense?
Do you mean the covid nonsense conspiracy theory? The one that hundreds of thousands of medical staff around the world and bereaved families have signed up to play along with, to keep us ignorant unenlightened folk all in check?
