Craziest conspiracy theory

I've just come across Rick Wiles.

According to him the covid jab injected an egg in to your bloodstream. These have now hatched into a synthetic parasites and this is a plan to take over the world.

I love a good conspiracy theory. What is the craziest one you have come across?

I think if before the lizard apocalypse starts you post on Facebook that the moon isn’t real they don’t chase you off the edge of the earth, they keep you as a slave to build lizard statues.

Oh no!!! We're all doomed anyway! I don't want to be a lizard slave!

You'll have no choice @SinnerBoy
We will no all be enslaved by 5g in our 15min camps. Our only escape will be into the meta verse

Sheeples are often fruitcakes. Sheeples claim that men can be women simply by self-identification.

No, it's not sheeples who believe that sort of thing. There is another name for them, but I can't quite remember what it is just at the moment....

It'll come to me I'm sure.

What is the opposite if sheeple out of interest?

I’ve no idea, is that what truthers are? Maybe they’re the enlightened? That sounds a bit culty though so they might not choose that.

People that think they know and “understand “ what’s actually going on.

Those people (Imo) however happen to be incredibly low on critical thinking skills and are massively prone to accepting any logical argument of evidence to the contrary, and will follow blindly an exciting and paranoid explanation no problem. They do this (imo) because it makes them feel somehow better or more enlightened than the average person, and this gives them a boost to their (low) self esteem.

That's not always true. I have a friend who is of Iranian background and she has zero trust in government as she's aware of propaganda and government control and lies. I don't think she's low on intelligence at all.
She's often quite insightful.

After the comments about the Isle of Wight I'm thinking there is something going on there. I'm fairly sure David Icke lives there.

I thought the original meaning of "woke" was opposite to sheeple, until woke came to mean the more recent definition of being aware of social injustice, or just an insult slung around towards "do-gooders" and "lefties".

I have a keen interest in this subject as I have lost a formerly close relative (lost figuratively, not deceased) to a lot of these conspiracy theories. It all started when he started to live alone in an alternative lifestyle, off grid and spent most of his time on QAnon, and various website such as BitChute, which is often used as a YouTube for conspiracy theorists, as YouTube won't allow them to post there.

Such delights include Donald Trump being the saviour of the world, the Ukraine war being a just war and that my relative would happily fight for the Russian army (not that he has attempted to try to join of course), Covid was part of the great reset, lock down was an economic lockdown and nothing more, the vaccines contained chips to control us all, 5G being dangerous/used as a method to control everyone, the adrenochrome theory (celebs abusing and eating babies/children), pizzagate, Wayfair smuggling children, the BBC is basically set up to provide celebrities with children to abuse and so on and so on.

After covid, he physically will not touch anyone, including parents/close relatives who have had the vaccine as the damage caused by the vaccine can be spread through simple touch.

He is trying to become more and more off-grid so that "they" can't control him, yet happily uses an Iphone and MacBook to read about and share more of his bizarre theories, and works a PAYE job for a legit company so pays taxes and uses public services.

Its utterly bonkers and sad in equal measure, and while I readily confess to not being an expert, I genuinely believe its a form of mental illness and most probably too late for treatment, if he even wanted to ever receive it.

Someone told me the Tesco club card thing was a government scheme to get all our information and he would never have one. He has an iPhone he uses to pay though, so he’s not concerned about Apple having his info. I told him if the government are desperate to see my name, age, sex, location and my weekly shopping I don’t really care but I’m sure they’re not interested. He said they definitely are, they can ‘use that in for for all sorts’ when I asked what he said ‘you’ll see’. So far I haven’t seen.

DeltaAlphaDelta79 · 23/05/2024 18:42

@Anyamywilldo I can sort of see the logic in this. I worked for Tesco when clubcard was very first launched and we were told then it would be used to track a persons spending to offer targetted advertising and special offers.

Since working as a fraud investigator, and I have seen just how much data/information can be linked to someone by their name, email address, DoB and address, which is all given freely when siging up to websites etc Then it is worrying how much there is.........but I still one of every store loyalty card going!

And yes, the CTs always use Apple products, which are very easily trackable/traceable.

All the info Tesco have on me is probably out there anyway and if the government really wanted it for whatever reason I’m sure they have a way of finding it even if I didn’t have a club card!

O couldn’t help laughing at the ‘you’ll see’ though, all conspiracy theorists use that one! They never have an answer just ‘you’ll see’. That’s what I was told when I said I didn’t think the Covid vaccine would cause everyone to drop dead exactly two years after having it. I didn’t see that either 😂

DrJonesIpresume · 23/05/2024 19:54

All Tesco knows about me is that I buy unleaded fuel, chocolate buttons, and the occasional late evening bottle of milk or tin of cat food. I only use their filling station, and don't shop in the stores.

They are welcome to that information. 😂

When Tony Blair was PM he sold the U.K. to the UN and the refugees coming over on boats are not refugees but UN soldiers being snuck into Britain in preparation for the war on the people.

Most of the conspiracy theories I’ve heard to do with Covid etc, involve the government having to be highly organised, have a plan and all be “in on it” with no one breaking ranks, this is the thing I find most unbelievable

Absolutely! Conspiracy theorists have an astonishing faith in the competence of governmental agencies.

The only believable thing about that is that it’s taken the government 20 years from the start of the plan to be just starting to enact it now.

What happens if the un soldiers coming in on boats to defend us all get shipped off to rowanda, what do we do then?

If the twin towers didn't collapse then there wouldn't be a huge gap where they once stood.
Or am I missing something? ( admittedly I've never been to ground zero or NY , but I know a few people who have and they haven't mentioned seeing the towers still standing ? !)

I went there in 2011 and they were definitely gone

They have been here all the time. Our own army are UN soldiers.

I know this is an old thread but anyway;
It’s unreal the amount of talk on X etc. that we are already at war but don’t know it publicly yet.

There’s a Woman called Caroline Coram who is adamant that we ( Europe) are are being gassed from the sky with Arsine gas and that the RAF are up there doing something with the weather to try and stop ‘them’ , her ‘proof’ is the heavy storms over Europe and lots of flight map data of planes doing very weird things above particular areas, one being the football stadiums, another being the Taylor Swift concert 🤷‍♀️ which apparently caused the death of those two young children at a Liverpool school the other day.
It’s apparently the cause of this Summer’s odd weather, lack of bees etc. and the weird illnesses that seem to abound, crops in the Eastern coastal counties are being covered to ‘protect’ them too.
She makes a compelling case but then so do very many cranks.
Starmer is also displaying signals with his hands apparently and the dress Mrs Sunak wore when Rishi left Downing St was also highly significant.
Journalists are also using particular phrases to try and warn people what’s coming 🫣
