What did Joan Rivers say that was so 🤯?
Something about Michelle Obama definitely being a man, then she died shortly after during a routine op!

@TwoLeftSocksWithHoles

I do wonder if this is a genuine question or just something slipped in by the Government in an effort to guage how effective their previous plots have been at duping the public... Hmm
There was a rumour a few years ago that spies were reactivating old MN threads to send messages

I’ve often thought that some of the threads that get posted on here are Government comms people testing messages - there was one floating the idea that wanting both shots of the vaccine was “selfish” just before the announcement was made that the policy was changing.

@Watermama

Horrible thread. As a RH- mother who has had miscarriages and a stillborn baby and used MN for support during those years of I had come across this thread claiming I was probably an alien, or another form of human species (with the implication inferior) or if I was an animal I would have been out to the slaughter I would probably have gone through with taking my own life.

THINK before you ducking post on future!

Surprisingly none of the posters spouting this utter bullshit have any form of medical training. Hmm

What??

MistressoftheDarkSide · 28/01/2021 22:51

Love the idea of spy messages in threads 😁 ....

Funnily enough I have a taxidermist friend who sells her stuff in my shop - when it's bloody open - and we joke our messages read like code:

"The duckling is in the tea cup."

"Have put the skulls in the rockery"

"The wet specimens are good to go"

"The squirrel has been stuffed"

Well, we're either spies or serial killers..... MI5 might have a field day lol.

I'm sure the government does test things via social media. Why wouldn't you? Instant market research in seconds.

Pretending to be a Mumsnet poster though? Not really in the spirit.
MistressoftheDarkSide · 28/01/2021 22:56

In fact I'm sure I read in the last few years that there is an army regiment dealing with social media as its main remit. Can't remember the specifics, but do remember thinking "Eh?"

Well I think it could be happening now considering the amount of zombie threads that have been reactivated recently!

MistressoftheDarkSide · 28/01/2021 23:02

@Whatdoyoudowhendemocracyfails

Well they couldn't do it openly and expect unbiased results, and maybe there are posters who are civil servants or similar anyway. Interesting to think about lol.

It might have been me posting last year!

Certainly the 77th Brigade (Army) do frequent social media, facebook pages etc (hello to any 77th on night duty!). It might be white/grey or black hat work. Info for anyone unaware:

For the saddo who rambled on about 'why does every covid death be 28 days from a test. Clearly not Covid' etc etc etc

I believe you’re referring to me? I’m just going on the many BBC bulletins - and numerous other media outlets have been the same. They usually show a graphic with a number of 'COVID deaths' given and then, in small letters underneath, something like “Deaths from any cause within 4 weeks of testing positive for COVID”. They invariably also verbally state the large number in the graphic as part of the report but never see fit to mention the disclaimer.

I don’t know how individual medical professionals classify them – just that the BBC are reporting these deaths as COVID deaths and brushing over the small disclaimer underneath.

Are you truthfully telling me you believe that, once somebody has tested positive for COVID – no matter how elderly or independently ill they may be – all other normally-possible reasons and contributory factors of death are magically suspended for four weeks, to allow COVID to take the grim ‘glory’? Sounds like quite a far-fetched theory to me, that Hmm

Luddite26 · 28/01/2021 23:47

I believe John Lennon's death was set up as he was planning to visit the UK.
I don't believe Diana's death was an accident.

HalfGirlHalfCake · 28/01/2021 23:49

I believe that Boris Johnson is actually Margaret Thatcher with plastic surgery and a bad haircut

@TravellingTilbury Thank you ! Yes it's all coming back now...... and that's my local mp too lol. Shall refresh my memory properly!

@Whatdoyoudowhendemocracyfails

I’m not sure if this counts as conspiracy but the Harry/James Hewitt posts have reminded me about doppelgangers - people that are the very double of total strangers. Some of the rioters in the FBI pics from the Capitol could double for some of my friends - I wonder if anyone’s ever been arrested for this!
I use to live in london and I swear my clone lived close to where I worked. I had people telling me that I ignored them all the time, then one day going to work on a bus I saw who they were referring to and she could have been my clone. I use to see her after that all the time, we even dressed alike,

The bob lazar documentary is always chilling when he agrees with the film maker to make the doc and he gets raided by the fbi.

@Beketaten

Here's an older royal baby conspiracy theory you may not have heard - the warming pan baby! It was alleged that Mary of Modena (wife of James II or VII of Scotland) did not give birth to a live son in 1688, but had one smuggled in to her chambers, hidden in a warming pan.

www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/jacobites/0/steps/27725

James and Mary were Catholics and not expected to have a male heir, or at least the Protestant majority hoped they would not and the throne would pass to James's Protestant sister, (also called) Mary.

It's apparently the reason why until recently the Home Secretary would attend all royal births to make sure there was no doubt who had given birth to whom.

I’m sure I’ve heard this before.

It’s like the pope Joan story, where a woman pretended to be a man and became Pope. Obviously the Catholic Church deny this. It’s apparently why when a new pope is elected he has his testicles examined to prove he’s a man.

Shaniac · 29/01/2021 00:23

I think this year a few classified documents are going to become declassified, so maybe we will see some strange reports on ufos and things.

TravellingTilbury · 29/01/2021 00:23

@mindmapchannel What a great resource! I shall catch up over the weekend.

rosetylersbiggun · 29/01/2021 02:22

Q-Anon blogs are not "great resources."

And honestly how do you go from "my son became autistic after a vaccine so I read one book about how vaccines cause autism, concluded from reading it that the writer was a man of integrity, and that's why there's vast New World Order global conspiracy, every single terror attack (plus the sinking of the Titanic for some reason) was a false flag event and also the scientists at Bletchley Park were actually secretly working for Hitler."

Ignoring the "vaccines cause neurodevelopment conditions" part, how do you go from reading one book from an anti-vaxxer to ranting about the New World Order and gangs of "homosexual politicians" secretly running the world?
