To question whether we are actually in the midst of a New World Order?

[Falmer]

As above (at the risk of sounding tin foil hat) and if we're not, what the hell is going on in the world, what's causing it?

@strawberriesaregood I do not believe in a conspiracy based purely off the fact tap water is oestrogenised.

If you roll right back to my first post, I believe it's one of many harmful facets of modern life.
Coupled with the pushing of transgenderism/demonisation of masculinity in the media, it becomes suspicious to me. It all feels a little too convenient.

Yes, I buy into some "conspiracy theories", not all. Many of them, when connected, show a very different world to the one that we are shown.

@strawberriesaregood (and all those uprisings were conducted by, you guessed it, men. Not a single armed woman in sight)

Is this a joke thread? Or have you recently been released from a secure environment of some kind OP? Either way, I'm totally bemused by this thread! 🙄🙄😩

@norfolkenclue nice contribution there. Disparaging assumptions about the OPs mental health with no justifications, and nothing to add to the discussion.

Bearing that in mind, "believing the government is acting against you" is a named symptom of schizophrenia and can get you sectioned. Nice and convenient that there's a way you can be effectively imprisoned without trial for questioning your governments benevolence.

Tender - how does your ‘the ruling class are trying to kill us all’ tie in with the global trend of increasing life expectancy?

(I acknowledge that there has possibly been a 1-year downwards turn in the UK which, if accurate, appears to be linked to the austerity politics we keep voting for).

@blackberryfairy I'm beginning to realise 😮 It's quite worrying.

A sad state of affairs.

@Vitalogy just goes to show the censorship of opinion in our society, ey.
I wonder to what end that will come.

Personally, I find it pretty offensive that we don't consider women mentally strong and hardy enough to discuss issues without being offended and hurt by others opinions.

People can't discuss with honesty in many places any more - then everyone is surprised when those with alternative views congregate on places like 4chan.org/pol/

Censorship pushes moderate, alternative views into the only places they're still allowed - extreme groups and the like.

If we ban expression of these views in the mainstream, we only radicalise people further.

Interested to hear GreenBeans thoughts on homosexuality...

I don't subscribe to all the conspiracy theories, but I do subscribe to the fact that many successful politicians and (mainly) banking dynasties aim for gross self-enrichment and world control, see huge benefit in enslaving people to their wages and create wars for their own benefit - hurting soldiers and civilians for their own greedy gain.
One only has to scratch the surface of Hilary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation to see why, and look back to the likes of JFK (assassinated) and earlier presidents who complained about the foundation of the 'federal reserve' or the overreaching powers of the deep state. Or look into how bodies such as the CIA admitted they had projects controlling what news was broadcast and investigated how effective false news could be back in the 1960s.
Did you give permission for your new TV or mobile phone to listen to you in your home? No. But government agencies wrote and implanted the software so they could do that. It might sound paranoid, but sadly it is the truth. Anyone who ridicules 'conspiracy theorists' (a term conveniently invented by the CIA to ridicule anyone who publicly questions their motives and behaviour) has not read enough in the last few decades. It's a very sad state of affairs, but it's up to each of us to educate ourselves or ignore the facts for a more peaceful life.
And yes, a lot of it comes down to the gross incompetence of politicians - after all is it the fact that the NHS is overused and failing, or the fact they allow tax revenues from massive companies to literally walk out of the country. But yes, by all means - put up the taxes and convince people at the bottom that paying an extra 1p on tax is 'fair'. I agree - something is not right.

So you get banned then 're register and state the same views.

Righto.

hypernormalisation on bbciplayer pretty much explains it all to me really

So everyone keeps saying but I've tried three times and I can't stay awake through it. It goes on for donkeys' years and it's most strange.

Okay with comments like this I have to question how much contact you have with the outside world. I don't know a single person who doesn't have a Britta Lots of people outside your bubble don't have Britta filters.

I don't know anyone who does.

@strawberriesaregood true.

I don't know a single person who doesn't have a Britta

Really?!

I thought a Britta was for making drinks fizzy?

I have one friend who filters water in a jug. It tastes all stale and I have no idea of how often she changes the filter.

Whilst I wouldn’t say owning a water filter is the norm, it certainly is quite popular and not something generally considered to be indicative that someone is a conspiracy theorist, more a mark of the particularly health conscious.

Marking place to read through tomorrow
