Is something big going on… conspiracy theory related

Ok hear me out….

the following things have put me a little bit on edge:

  • emergency alert trial from government (yes I know it’s been spoken about for years)
  • a few asteroids flying “close” and reported in press
  • A few solar/planet events… eg holes in sun creating solar winds, northern lights being so far down south, weird planetary alignments
  • nasa being able to defect the path of an asteroid in the last 6 months
  • the constant threat of nuclear war
  • chatter a few months ago about weird spy balloons and possibility of aliens?!

I can’t help but shake the feeling that some people “higher up” know something that us little folk don’t know yet and that we are being primed.

I am fully prepared to be told I’m crackers! 🤣

Western Governments are trying to get their ducks in a row because of the increasingly open military agression of China. The increase in military spending is also a part of this. It's not remotely a secret and not a conspiracy. There's been articles in The Economist and FT for months including this week, there's been discussions on telly. An unleashed China will go for Taiwan first. China's ongoing propping up of North Korea through businesses registered in Macau and HK (see investigation in today's FT) is the most obvious additional powder keg.

I sort of agree, OP. I just try not to think about it otherwise I get sucked into a wormhole of doom and gloom and world ending conspiracies. I have anxiety which I'm medicated for so I'm aware that yes, I'm probably Crackers. Just try to ignore. Ignore. Ignore. I tend not to read the news. Its bad for my anxiety. If there's something I really need to know DH will tell me. Ignorance is bliss as they say!

Whenever I see theories like this I marvel at the idea that any group of people, especially the current shit show of a government we have at the moment could keep a secret of this magnitude without leaks. Guaranteed if there was something big going on we would have had the relevant WhatsApp messages splashed all over Twitter by now

Yeah, this. Nobody who is currently in charge has the nous to pull off a conspiracy.

I think this is interesting. I don't know if you're right but it's scary/interesting.

Babyroobs · 29/03/2023 11:53

I don't really trust this government that any disaster would be well handled no matter how much planning and prep went into it.
I'm more worried about the number of young people I know who have died suddenly, eight in the past year or so and another this week. It needs to be investigated.

Vallmo47 · 29/03/2023 11:55

In my opinion we are at the beginning of world war 3 Op and you’re not wrong to feel uneasy about matters in the world. But it doesn’t help me how strongly I believe this, so I try to step away from the news.

@Babyroobs that's interesting. And very concerning. What has happened? Sorry for your loss.

Honestly, I’m always a bit amazed at the faith that conspiracy theorists seem to have in the government too. It’s almost sweet in it’s naïveté.

I can only suggest that a bout of working for the government in pretty much any capacity. That will very quickly disillusion you of any ideas that such coordinated and intentional action would ever happen. And then that they’d be able to keep it quiet. internationally!

Just no. There’s no international conspiracy to hide an imminent alien invasion. The idea is laughable.

Well, none of these ‘events’ are impossible . Very very unlikely but not impossible. You could argue that nuclear war is now very slightly more likely due to instability in Russia.

The thing is we have no control over any of it if it were to happen and all are pretty catastrophic so the real issue is how much mind space you give these things now. You could fixate and stress for the rest of your life and they never happen or you could choose to forget about them and they do happen. The thing is we will all die one day so the only thing you have any control over is what you allow yourself to stress about , or not!
We spend so much time thinking about the past or the future that not many people are living right now which is a shame as we are reminiscing or planning our lives away

What do you think is going on op?you need to give us this at least. Are you prophesising Armageddon. Should we all be looking out for the three horse men of the apocolypse? 😄

Two friends early early fifties died suddenly last year, one heart problems, one a blood clot but both previously healthy. One with the blood clot was one of the fittest people I know, ran marathons etc. Another women who I knew from an internet help site died of brain bleed suddenly, friends daughter in thirties from a blood clot , one of dd's collegues in her part time job died suddenly brain bleed. CEO of my previous workplace died after short illness - mid fifties I'd say. I know people die suddenly, it just seems such a lot in such a short space of time when my social life and work circle is very limited. I don't have huge numbers of friends so is hard to get my head around so many deaths. I do find it worrying.

Aliens were brough out before, it's to cover up tech advances. There are no aliens. I believe that there are fallen angels who may appear like aliens.

The emergency test doesn't bother me, other countries have that tech.

I don't think nukes will cause MAD either, a few may go off in military targets, it will be dreadful for people in those areas, most will be OK, though life may become more difficult.

Georgyporky · 29/03/2023 12:05

I can't find a builder to re-fit a utility room, let alone build a nuclear bunker.

I hope so. In fact
I pray that there's intelligent life
Somewhere out in space
Because there's bugger all down here on earth.Grin

Just wanted to acknowledge the Python ref because no one else will.

And op - no

Read/ re-read day of the triffids. Enjoy the book and get it out your system. Either way, it’s happier not knowing 😆
