Conspiracy Theory

[RedHeadAngel]

This isn't a conspiracy theory—just some advice. Never trust Wikipedia. Anyone can edit articles on there, which is why avoiding the site is advised if you're doing research. An example would be when I looked at the Wikipedia page for the Titanic. It said,

 

Quote

The British Board of Trade's regulations required 14 lifeboats for a ship 10,000 tonnes.

 

It's a small detail, but it's still incorrect. The BBT's regulations for the time were that a ship exceeding 10,000 GRT (Gross Registered Tons) was required by law to carry 16 lifeboats, not 14.

Titanic actually exceeded this requirement by having 20. So, yeah. Titanic wasn't carrying so few lifeboats because J. Bruce Ismay thought they cluttered the decks (In fact, he had nothing to do with the lifeboats at all). It was because the ship wasn't legally required to. If you look at any ship of that era, almost none of them carried enough lifeboats for all passengers on board.

There are a lot of things people believe about the Titanic that are completely ridiculous.

The only time I commit to conspiracy theories is when something way retarded happens. Like Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.

Politics is the conspiracy of the unproductive but organized against the productive but unorganized.

Accusations like conspiracy theories, words like disinformation and misinformation, these aren't words that are meant to guide you as to how much trust you should place in the story. These are weapons used to destroy opposition and you already know that when it comes to debate, disagreement or even election outcomes.

In the Kennedy era hit squads were already standard procedure when it comes to killing people. It is unlikely that individual gunmen were hired by organized groups. Nowadays it is even more unlikely due to the usage of car bombs and drone strikes. But as you say political groups would use all manner of conspiracies and mental gymnastics to make their opponents look bad.

 

As to how Kennedy got killed. Well if we learned anything from the movie Forrest Gump it’s that shit happens.

Huh. Every time I look up good times playing Call of Duty all I get are war crimes and pictures of Scout’s mom.

What if Oswald acted alone but didn't kill anybody but Connally?  What if the Secret Service have always been the incompetent boobs recent congressional hearings have shown them to be and it was a hung over clown fumbling with an unfamiliar weapon in a high stress situation that killed JFK?

 

It's the only logical reason everything hasn't been declassified and why his brains were on the trunk of the car instead of on Connally.

The dead internet theory

What does the dead internet theory propose?

At a top level, the concept is that bots automatically and rapidly craft things like social media posts that are algorithmically tuned for engagement — effectively farming clicks, comments and likes on platforms like Facebook and TikTok. This is because more interactions and engagement can lead to more advertising revenue.

But beneath the surface lies the more insidious notion that the accounts engaging with such content are also bots and AI agents — meaning that all this activity is happening between machines alone, with no human interaction. An even deeper layer to the theory suggests government organizations are even using bots to manipulate human opinions.

This created the idea of a "dead internet," with said death supposedly having happened around 2016 or 2017. This whole theorem was given more traction in an article titled "Maybe You Missed It, but the Internet 'Died' Five Years Ago" in The Atlantic.

It's difficult to pinpoint how much of the web is populated by machines — with various studies suggesting contradictory information. Research by the cyber security company Imperva found that bots account for around half of all internet traffic. This traffic tends to be from bots used to generate fake advertising revenue; YouTube among other sites has fallen foul of this, with bots wielded to artificially inflate engagement.

Another pre-print study published by AWS on 5 June 2024 reported that 57.1% of all sentences on the web are machine-generated translations. As for how many websites were found to be hosting AI-generated content, this stands at 13.1% — according to an ongoing study by Originality.ai.

The idea that the U.S. government (or perhaps the entire world government) is run by reptilian humanoids is … out there, to say the least. And yet, people holding this belief have done real damage. For example, a man who detonated a bomb in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Christmas Day 2020 had written a friend about his belief that lizard people walked the planet, disguised as humans. Warner killed himself, damaged 41 buildings, and injured three in the bombing.

The idea of half-lizard, half-human beings goes way back, with one academic tracing it to a pulp fiction magazine story from 1929. British conspiracy theorist David Icke has been a key spreader of the “reptilian shapeshifters control the world” conspiracy, which sometimes overlaps with New World Order conspiracy theories that suggest that an elite cabal plan to institute authoritarian global government. These conspiracies often overlap with anti-Semitism, assigning this supposed cabal Jewish roots.

The reptilian conspiracy theory got a small signal-boost with the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. According to Politifact, Facebook flagged and removed multiple posts after the queen’s death calling the monarch a reptile and linking to strange videos claiming the entire royal family is reptilian.

I'd agree with you that the "lizard people" don't exist, but things like this just scream "How do you do, fellow humans!"

We might know something when those classified documents finally get released to the public... by a Kennedy no less. We're in for some 'interesting' times.

 

Oh, to another post on here: You know it's an A.I. if it isn't complaining about anything.

The same chucklefucks that claim that climate change is a hoax are now saying that the government controls the weather. 🤦‍♂️

Still more were unsettled by the unappealing look of the burgers themselves.

'I don't know about you, but when I grill burgers, the meat is fresh and red, not pale gray like rotten meat,' wrote one.

'There's not one bit of seasoning on those premade frozen old-meat burgers,' added another.

'Oh and no smoke whatsoever,' noted a third.

 

That's because they are actually made from......wait for it.......here it comes...........just about....Kidding.......

Government mind control

 

Conspiracy: The CIA was testing LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs on Americans in a top-secret experiment on behavior modification.

 

The truth: The program was known as MK-ULTRA, and it was real. The CIA started by using volunteers; the novelist Ken Kesey was one notable subject. But the program heads soon began dosing people without their knowledge; MK-ULTRA left many victims permanently mentally disabled.

[Raven 54]

Fake battle, real war

 

Conspiracy: The Gulf of Tonkin incident on August 2, 1964, was faked to provoke American support for the Vietnam War.

 

The truth: By the time news reached American ears, the facts surrounding the North Vietnamese attack on the American Naval ship Maddox were already fuzzy. Declassified intelligence documents have since revealed that the Maddox had provided support for South Vietnamese attacks on a nearby island and that the North Vietnamese were responding in kind, according to the U.S. Naval Institute. The event “opened the floodgates for direct American military involvement in Vietnam.”

[Raven 54]

The Illuminati and the U.S. government

 

Conspiracy: A secret society that rules the world—the Illuminati—and the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) are in cahoots.

 

The truth: We’re here to tell you that a link does, in fact, exist. Of course, that “link” is actually a hyperlink (i.e., an electronic link between two Internet sites). If you type Illuminati backward—Itanimulli—into a web browser, you will land on the NSA website. Click this link if you dare: Itanimulli.com. Rumor has it this elite society includes tons of famous personalities, actors, actresses, and performers.

[DrunkenCow]

Psst:  MK Ultra didn't end, it became MK Naomi and formed the basis for the interrogation/torture manual still in use today.

 

Then, there is the heart-attack gun shown to the US Congress in 1975 that only leaves a "mosquito bite" as evidence...

Whatever controversies surrounding the word "woke" whether you're for it or against it. Apparently the slang for "woke" came from African-Americans since around the 1930s. From the information I gather one side hates this word and another assumes anyone who isn't woke is an asshole. I just remember it as a past tense of awake as in not asleep not to be mistaken for insomnia which is a different thing. That may be why I like the word "woke" as it isn't a bad word unless we're going back to that insomnia thing.

 

Unfortunately the word has a double meaning or rather it is a metaphor about not sleeping on major societal issues so I guess this was inevitable. I mean people should be educated about major societal issues and I can't help but feel like people directing their hate towards a single word is misguided. Perhaps less effort should be spent whining about a word that means to be aware and more effort should be spent making counter points to the subject at hand e.g. racism, sexism, ageism, etc. Perhaps most of the people complaining about wokism are old folks who don't want to deal with politics because they have enough issues well... being old. I won't argue with that.

 

At the end of the day society is run by carefully constructed data but if there is a peaceful protest outside maybe it is time to double check that data. I personally don't see the big issue with the word "woke" but I'm just trying to make sense of all this.

"Woke culture" was a class war started by the CIA in the 1960s used to separate people on gender, religious and sexuality lines so that the growing working/middle class wouldn't direct their ire towards the wealthy elites.

Climate and weather are not the same thing.

Cloud seeding has been around for decades, it even has its own conspiracy theories. 😲

Sure, but saying that it causes hurricanes to come in from far out from the continent is one hell of a leap.

Unwoke:  Walker Texas Ranger - Chuck Norris starring in a moderately amusing action-cop show where no one cries.

Woke:  Walker - The guy from Supernatural starring in the remake of the above cop show where no one does anything about the crime in Texas without crying about it for 35 minutes and any action may get delayed because someone needs a hug.

 

Conspiracy:  Journalists have their sense of humor removed before graduation; everything said on X is 100% serious.

I remember watching an episode of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura about a communications research project or a doomsday weapon that can change the weather, shoot satellites out of orbit- and trigger mind control across the globe? Jesse Ventura and his team head north to a remote region of Alaska to confront the military installation called HAARP. 

 

Fact:

The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) program that studies the ionosphere, the ionized part of Earth's atmosphere that's closest to space. HAARP's research aims to understand how radio waves interact with the ionosphere and how this affects communications, radar, and navigation systems. 
HAARP's research facility in Gakona, Alaska includes a high-frequency radio transmitter with 180 antenna elements that directs energy into the ionosphere and space. The facility also has diagnostic instruments that collect real-time data on the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

Only if you believe what they tell you.

 

I remember when HAARP was the flavour of the month about a decade ago.
