Started a new job on Monday, small team of 15. One guy is clearly a complete conspiracy theory nut. So far, flat earth, birth certificate bonds, chem trails and illuminati.
He is utterly convinced and shares his 'knowledge' readily. Apparently I need to open my eyes and use critical thinking. He claims anyone who believes mainstream media/governments is an idiot. The only word he didn't say was 'sheeple' My other colleagues roll their eyes and ignore. Will I get less than 12 for murder?

Are you the queen and are you talking about Tom Cruise?

Thanks for explaining :)

Completely batshit!

Could do with a cash injection though, any idea how i release some of my birth bond money?

Apparently it's long winded but with a good solicitor it's possible to get funds released, but he couldn't tell me one person who had done it.🤔

@dashdotdotdash ahh, bonds/birth certificates are sold on stock exchange by the government as they own you. So can buy an sell us😉

Ahhh but they would reply that wouldn't they?!! 😉

Tempting as it is to make some kind of windup comment or argue with him I really wouldn't because he'll see any engagement on the subject as encouragement.

Ime there is a lot more of this horseshit around than previously - three people in my wider social circle succumbed to it over the past two years. One is a full on David Icke devotee, another goes on about QAnon and a third is all about the Freeman On The Land stuff. No coincidence whatsoever that all three have had some serious shit going on in their lives during pandemic - serious illness, divorce and bereavement respectively. I feel kind of responsible in a way because maybe things would be different if they had been less isolated while dealing with their traumas.

Glorious. Thank you, @ClaudineClare , that's made my day.

I’m always a bit agog when I see these things eg I don’t get how you can hold down a job or interact with other human beings if you actually believe this stuff let alone are willing to say it out loud. Is he good at his job?

I saw these guys on twitter a while ago it was such a relief to discover it’s a satire (although there are lots of spin off groups that still assert it’s true 😳

God it's just a superfluous medical treatment which comes with risks. And it's for a HOLIDAY! Lighten up!

"...on full penality of perjury and on your full commercial liability..."

That part is hilarious.

He did seem to accept it in the end though, bless him. I reckon Selwyn Hughes (or "Hughes Selwyn") played it absolutely right.

Oh, right. Still wondering why anyone would want to buy me. If they already have, it's made zero difference to my life. But perhaps no-one wants me 😟

My god, been googling some of this stuff, I'm fascinated, bemused and in most cases amused. I have always thought having a level of skeptiscm of what we get told is healthy but this stuff is on another level.
I will see what he comes out with next week.

@QuestionableMouse this guy thinks they are to control the weather on a day to day basis..no such thing as climate change as the weather is controlled by the government. Climate change is just a means to manipulate and rip money out of the populace.

@RishiRich "his science teacher is an anti vaxxer". Eh? What kind of science are they teaching there? Alchemy? Base metals into gold? Wtf. We would be having words. Quite a few of them.

Main stream media - On certain topics I don't believe a single word they print

Government - Long history of lies, whitewashes and coverups (e.g. Iraq WMD)

Climate change - Probably a scam, not least because the Romans had vineyards in Britain

Weather manipulation - Cloud seeding has been known about for decades

The sad thing is that it's almost twenty years on from the Iraq WMD lie, but the vast majority of the population have seemingly learned nothing from that. People just continue to blindly believe all the propaganda pumped out relentlessly by the MSM. The only logical conclusion is that most people don't have the ability to be sceptical, ask questions, do their own research, and reject what they're being told if it smells fishy.

I agree it is certainly good to be critical about the information we are given. The issue is finding reputable information. We know Governments lie, but Derek creating 'resources' in his bedroom for You Tube is not reliable either. Some of the conspiracies would require huge numbers of people keeping quiet and as we know whistleblowers will leak them. If birth bonds existed, for example, and it is possible to access them then who has done it?

Well, quite. Which makes me think he was making the whole thing up as he didn't really fancy being pricked with a needle. It's amazing what a packet of Malteasers and a long-anticipated holiday can do though.

That's what Edward Snowden tried to do. He's still a free man, albeit confined to Russia, but Julian Assange certainly isn't. And have you noticed that since the Guardian ran all their investigative work in that area, and got in hot water with the government, they now seem to do very little of the high quality, in depth investigative reporting that they used to do. Instead, they're just running endless woke op-eds based on identity politics.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/04/surreal-moment-guardian-destroyed-snowden-files

I fear the reality is that most people have the memory of a goldfish. They've forgotten about Iraq WMDs, they've forgotten about Edward Snowden. And they unquestioningly lap up whatever is in the press or on the TV on the particular day that they are reading or watching.

And I don't think that will ever change. Too many people are distracted by celebrity theatre, such as wagatha christie and depp v heard, to realise that the really big issues are being totally ignored. In fact, I think that might be a valid conspiracy theory, that the cult of celebrity was created and pushed by the MSM to distract people from the big issues.

A lot of people say to 'follow the money', and that's usually a good starting point when trying to work out why things are the way they are. There are people doing good work, uncovering and piecing together much of what is going on. But you won't find much of it in the MSM, because they've pretty much stopped doing it.

If birth bonds exist, there must be a market for them, and it would have to be reasonably easy for prospective buyers to find out about them. Therefore it really would be impossible to hide the facts. It's not a matter of stopping lone whistleblowers, it's a matter of stopping any word leaking out from thousands of people. It just isn't possible.

Ask him if there are flat earther's all around the globe. If he says yes, then you have got him.
