I have someone I know vaguely on FB spouting this sort of stuff and lots and lots of idiotic conspiracy stuff in general. It claims that Bill Gates is single handedly responsible for killing Indian children with vaccines.

I don't much about it - do you think he is up to no good and is a dictator (also claimed)

I'd be delighted to see some actual evidence one way or the other - thanks!

@caperplips I've had someone actually stop speaking to me because I refuse to discuss conspiracy theories and anti vaxxers etc!

A family member has just posted about this on FB.

Apparently CV19 was caused by America, they did genetic experiments on bats to infect them with CV19 and then released them into the wild in China knowing that they would be caught and eaten. The plan here was to bring down the Chinese government and cripple their economy so that America could buy up all of their industries including 5G. They would then scrap the roll out of 5G in order to protect the world from it.

All of the other countries are pushing ahead with 5G because the population is too big. Everyone is born with cancer inside of them, all it takes is a signal from your brain to "switch the cancer on" followed by a second signal that will either switch it off again or turn it up to maximum. 5G overrides the second signal and makes your brain turn it up to maximum. "They" are going to give 90% of the world population "maximum cancer" (what the actual fuck...?). I'm not sure who "They" are but possibly the pharmaceutical industry because the next bit is that there is a vaccine for cancer and this will be rolled out once the 5G is activated and people will pay for it.

Oh, and we're going to war with China. An actual land war because nuclear weapons aren't real, they're made up as a deterrent and the deterrent works because no one wants to gamble that they are actually real. Biggest fake out in all of history supposedly.

I share genes with this fruit loop FFS.

Sounds like a good outcome, tbh...

Bill Gates foundation has saved many lives; afaik the only 'fatality' he can be blamed for is the 'blue screen of death' (not sure that even happens any more)

I have one of these! I can’t bring myself to hide her on Facebook as it’s horrifically fascinating.

She regularly posts ‘truths’ for us sheeple, with links from the Daily Mail and YouTube videos as her scientific proof.

Oh and the Covid deaths are a massive cover up, and 90% of them haven’t died from Covid but other causes.

She also posts huge rants about how the lockdown is fucking up the economy and it’s massively over the top (see above, Covid is a lie). People need to go back to work so they can pay their taxes to keep the benefit system running. She’s currently pregnant with her 7th child and hasn’t worked for the last 15 years. Funny why she’s so invested in the benefit system.... (no maximum child limit where we live).

An African journalist deliberately misrepresented Gate’s interview and spread that rumour. If the population of Africa does reduce as a result it will he that journalist’s fault.

'blue screen of death' (not sure that even happens any more)

Oh I assure you it does. I blame 5G. And Trump. And Covid-19.

All at the same time.

I think it's good this topic was raised, I don't see why some pps are ridiculing it.

If only as a reminder that conspiracy theorists are a pain in the arse and also, many are becoming mentally unstable. 'Google gurus' who chase every theory until they're at brain overload level. When it's people we know we tend to just put it down as a bit odd, but if you stop to listen to how they're speaking and what they're saying, it's a load of nonsense.

A friend of mine is a senior social worker, and got annoyed with me as I laughed when he told me Michael Jackson is still alive + has been cloned.

But his favourite topic is Bill Gates. He & many others can tell you every evil that Bill Gates has said. But they can't produce a clip of him actually SAYING what they claim he said. Now I avoid this friend's calls I just can't listen to him. I've known him many years but the 'old' him has now gone.

Then there are the ones who put up clips of themselves speaking on certain theories, they're taken as gospel and shared around. Nothing to substantiate what they're saying, anyone can put up a clip of themselves claiming to have 'inside knowledge' and it would be believed.

Too much internet info at their fingertips has done some people no good at all.

Anyway at least I now know Covid-19 is a man-made infection as a means of population control and the New World Order to divert us from deadly 5G rays that will kill us all. I know it's true, I read it on FB.

DaisyDreaming · 15/04/2020 01:19

A friends mum believed the virus is fake and it’s a way for government to see how we would cope with martial law and then to get us to agree to a vaccine where they will inject a tracker into us! It’s not worth arguing with them, you can’t argue with crazy!

EmpressMcSchnozzle · 15/04/2020 01:21

After all the science fiction I've read and watched in my life, I truly love a good conspiracy theory, but only if, you know, there's a bit of good evidence. From more than one semi-credible source.

Some of the theories floating about at the moment are truly beyond laughable. Truly "batshit crazy", if you'll forgive the term!

Covidiot · 15/04/2020 01:23

But all conspiracy theories are created by governments as they help keep people from discovering the Real Truth.

We need to wake up and smell the chemtrials.

Noti23 · 15/04/2020 01:30

I’ve had the same sort of nonsense of my fb with someone ranting that they would never accept a Covid-19 vaccine. Someone commented on a post explaining that Bill Gates hasn’t murdered thousands with an ineffective vaccine. The poster in question replied with, “that’s too much to read 😂”.

CandyLeBonBon · 15/04/2020 02:09

But @Covidiot now the planes are grounded, there ARE no Chen trails and the global secret governments plans are foiled! Mwahahahaha

AgentJohnson · 15/04/2020 02:41

I am so wound up reading the shite posted by this person I cannot even express myself properly!!

But why after describing it as shite, do you continue to read it and start a thread about it?

This is the price you pay for agreeing to having the unfiltered stream of consciousness of randoms in your environment.

Block, unfollow and move on already.

@ChainsawBear KISS ME I think I love you. God these people.

Mimishimi · 15/04/2020 03:43

Look up Event 201. Bill Gates is part of a wider system of 'experts' who think they have the right to trample on others lives .

TheClaws · 15/04/2020 07:09

Mimishimi No, he really isn’t. I’d recommend using this time to unplug from the internet for a while and pick up another hobby, perhaps.

OP had this acquaintance of yours started a FB page with the word 'rabbit' in the title, to collate all her "research" (googling)? If so we are looking at the same person...I don't know her really but we've crossed paths a few times and every now and then I like to boggle my mind by seeing what she's raving on about at the moment. I had to stop reading the "rabbit hole" stuff cos it was making me feel really queasy.
