Since the pandemic started really..it’s all seemed strange, some points I’ve convinced myself things are normal, but it’s there deep down bugging me. I just find it all so odd, the pushing of vaccines on young people for incentives, no real discussion being allowed apart from what is presented to us. Is this normal?! Or is it me that’s not 🤷🏻‍♀️Does anyone else feel like this?

@Mummyford it's called the mark of the beast, not the mark, makes it just a little bit more difficult to fit your narrative.

It was also touted when barcodes were introduced that the mark of the beast would be a barcode tattooed on to your forehead.

Now that seems a little bit silly all these years on doesn't it...🙄

Mummyfordbecause it seems like all the government's of the world are being controlled.

And of you consider for even one moment that they are all no more than puppets...

@therocinante

I think people are scared because many of us haven't been confronted with a global pandemic in our lifetimes. And the world is getting steadily more willing to believe conspiracy theories because our governments are so frequently doing something horrible behind the scenes (or in our faces).

The rise of conspiracy theorists in the last few years, and especially since Covid, is terrifying, though. I've seen my mum's best friend go from a completely 'normal' middle aged woman, to someone getting divorced and screaming at my mum, putting the phone down because my mum refused to listen to her latest breathlesss rant about how the government is trying to kill 50% of the population via 5G. She doesn't go outside much any more, because of the '5G radiation'. Just sits on Facebook, hyping herself into a panic.

She started by asking this kind of question - doesn't everything feel weird - and nobody answered "yep, it's a pandemic, we'll be okay eventually, just buckle in and keep safe". Instead, the "right" people found her tweets and told her a load of bollocks and now she's lost her husband, her adult son won't speak to her and her friends are giving up. It's sad, really. But she won't listen.

This is a very rare example, you cannot say because someone feels a bit ‘off’ about something that this is their destiny. What I really do not understand is why someone can’t raise questions or concerns without being a conspiracy theorist or anti vaxxer. Hasn’t op already said she is double jabbed?

Well I suppose they are in a way-but by a novel virus that the world is still learning how to deal with rather than some sort of sinister cabal.

Well, no.
But you will still have them all lining up for it in the interests of what we currently know to be virtue signalling...

@ZednotZee

Who was your bible written and edit by?

Not who printed it. Who decided what went in and what didn't?

Not Boris Johnson.
Not Chris Whitty.
Not Matt Hancock.
Not Sajid Javier.
Not Rupert Mugrdoch

Who wrote your belief system?

Mine appears to precede the editing of idols so I'll let you go first if thats OK with you.

Actually my belief system predates yours, but ok.

Why do you think people have to believe in the Roman Catholic Bible or Boris Johnson?

You do realise Catholisim is not the world's oldest religion, don't you?

ZednotZee · 02/08/2021 23:49

OK because I don't give a fuck at this point;
By whom? Thise aligned to Satan
How? Really?... by the wielding of power
For what reason? Well because they don't give a fuck about us. We are collateral damage. The less of us there are, relative to them, the stronger they are.

I know it is a complete mind fuckbut entertain for one moment why this agenda doesn't make sense. Why doesn't it benefit the 1%?
So far as they are concerned we are an inconvenient drain upon resources. A wholly expendable one.

seasonalremarks · 02/08/2021 23:51

Depopulation is plausible especially timed with Richard Branson's decoy flights or escape routes off earth...

seasonalremarks · 02/08/2021 23:52

ZednotZee can you give us a timeline for this please. Break it down for me.

Well, this thread has jumped the shark...

ZednotZee · 02/08/2021 23:54

Ok, but what's the point of depopulation? Who benefits?

Seriously?

The world has finite resources.

We are an inconvenient drain upon those and with the emergence of AI an increasingly unnecessary one.

The depopulation agenda is the most logical agenda known to mankind.

I understand the psychological denial of it but at this point in proceedings I urge you to wake the fuck up.

Soon it will be too late.

EmmaOvary · 02/08/2021 23:54

If the object of this is depopulation, can somebody explain Boris Johnson, please? How many kids is he on now?

@seashells11 on that point, we can certainly agree. I don't think he has a clue about anything at all 🤣

EmmaOvary · 02/08/2021 23:59

This thread is MENTAL but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Anyone else?

foxandbee · 03/08/2021 00:04

Yes it is a bit addictive @EmmaOvary!

I used to scare myself when I was a kid by reading Revelations. This thread has a flavour of that.

EmmaOvary · 03/08/2021 00:05

@Mummyford 'And does Satan surely really need toilet paper and Hovis from down Tesco?'

Don't be silly. Satan only buys hot sauce.

Well, it freaked me out the other day when I discovered Boris's Dad, Stanley had written a book in 1982 called "The virus" which eerily mirrors current events. What are the chances, eh?? ShockGrin

@PurpleTrilby

Can't be arsed to read the thread due to the predictability of this shit. Hear this, pro virus people: you are fucking scum, helping to spread a deadly virus because you don't understand science and want to ignore a perfectly predictable pandemic. Get a fucking grip and get vaccinated. Now. As for the full on conspiracy loons, you need urgent psychological help. I'm serious, I grew up with someone into all that and it's very fucking damaging. I got therapy because they never did. Fuck you if you can get vaccinated and choose not to. And fuck you if you deny your kids their vaccinations.

If you can't be arsed to RTFT I don't think we'll bother reading your rant. Bye 👋.

seasonalremarks · 03/08/2021 00:23

Grin at Purpletriby. The thread that keeps on giving.
Where are you Zed? Writing my timeline?
