"There's something else going on. This isn't about a virus"

So I've seen this in a few posts.

The idea that there is something "else" going on or that the restrictions being put in place aren't for the virus, they are for "something bigger"

So would anyone care to share what they think this "something bigger" actually is, rather than vague mutterings on other posts?

Government practising control on the population for shits and giggles whilst the economy goes tits up?

5G?

Zombie apocolpypse?

@Myhoodieslongerthanyours I agree with you and they get away with it while we're busy squabbling with each other about everything.

If the world establishment is so good at conspiring to do evil how do the manage to be so bad at running the real world?

Oooh goody, a conspiracy thread!

Have a look at Rense.com if you want to see lots of lovely conspiracy threads all in one place. Or David Icke. Or AboveTopSecret. Or ForteanTimes (although that tends to be a bit more people experiencing ghosts and spooky things. Woo lovers will find it a great way to waste several hours. Not speaking from personal experience in any way whatsoever. Ahem.)

Let me see....

  • Agenda21
  • Alien invasion
  • Establishment of the Cummings-Gove foundation and dynasty, who have convinced themselves they're working for the good of humanity but are actually dragonflies in fancy dress
  • Glitch in the matrix
  • God is real, humans are stupid, and God has got really tired of this little experiment as en masse we never seem to learn anything, just repeat the same cycle over, and over, and over. Must make for pretty boring God-TV...
  • Qanon
  • Zombie apocalypse

On a serious note, if you want to see what's behind this (the reaction, not necessarily the virus itself), just follow the money. Who stands to benefit, how, and why? And to see what's coming down the path at us, just take a situation, and follow everything that's happening around us through to its absolute logical conclusion. And maybe read a bit of history.

And then order a pizza, stick some popcorn in the microwave, and watch Dark Mirror on repeat for a bit. (Or Dr. Who.)

This virus IS the vaccine.

There's something much much worse to come. Building up immunity in the population by letting this virus circulate, and kill maybe 5% of the planet, means we give ~35% a chance of surviving what comes next.

The80sweregreat · 09/10/2020 14:47

Disaster capitalists have always existed Many people became very rich during the two world wars : it's how certain humans are programmed to make the best of a terrible situation ( usually from a starting point of wealth too!)
It's not fair , but it's a 'dog eat dog ' world I'm afraid!
As for the ' theories' well, I've heard or read them all. I do think that controlling people isn't working that well, but we will all have to be given this vaccine as nobody will be able to go anywhere or do anything unless they do have it. So maybe 'they 'will have control eventually! Many people say they won't have it which could be interesting..

"I read on the BBC news website that billionaires such as Bezos and Musk have seen their wealth grow by an average of 25% in the pandemic shock."

I'm no fan of Bezos or Musk, but the people who are benefiting from this are people who work in the tech or biotech industries -- because those industries largely bullet-proof from the economic impact of COVID.

For every Bezos or Musk there's a company like Rolls Royce or Boeing which operates in a traditional industrial sector (for which you need to be physically working) and those companies have seen their market value decimated.

It's nothing to do with plots by billionaires, its binary: those businesses that are adapted for a COVID world are flying while the rest of the world is in the toilet, economically.

My husbands friend has a conspiracy theory that this has all been planned by all the governments of the world as a test to see how the world can cope with a major disaster, so when it actually does happen they will know what to do and be prepared - well the test has obviously failed miserably! Lol! Smile

Did you know hand-sanitiser soaks in to your skin and changes your DNA? A reliable source at a football match told me this so it must be true Hmm
My nails do seem to be a lot stronger recently...

Bill Gates wants to install a 5G chip in everyone's veins, designed as a vaccine, and George Soros is funding him.

Redcrayons · 09/10/2020 14:56

I feel a bit sorry for Bill Gates here. From geeky tech billionaire/philanthropist to master of the 5G controlling lizard people. What’s he done to attract all this?

My favourite conspiracy theory is that Finland doesn’t exist. Why? How? But it does?

Billionaire philanthropists who give away most of their wealth are not to be trusted. Not a proper Capitalist.

They are becoming too domesticated and need to regain their boss roots Grin

The80sweregreat · 09/10/2020 15:01

Bored silly, Oh no! If all this is but a plan to see how we shall cope , then there's no hope for the 'real thing ' is there because so far it's been shocking ( in the UK anyway)
The countries that deal with virus's better than we are currently are must be laughing up their PPE at us and our ten pm curfews!

TartanSlippers · 09/10/2020 15:03

Until all this started, I had no idea there were so many fuckwits in the world.

Aren't these kind of posts being tackled on other major sm now?

DontBeShelfish · 09/10/2020 15:07

Literally told today by someone that COVID was man-made but accidentally escaped from a Wuhan laboratory. It wasn't supposed to be released for another 800 years. Not sure what it was going to do in 800 years, we'll be fucked by climate change long before then. 😂

BlueBlancmange · 09/10/2020 15:10

@cyclingmad

Yes I believe there is something else at play and this virus is providing that opportunity...controlling people through fear for one thing, putting people into poverty deliberately...

Only have to look at the announcements...first of all it was this idnjust 6 months up to end of March, this week you started seeing and hearing its going to be end of April.

At first it was vulnerable should be lockdown for a few months now its being reported as indefinitely

I used to think its just scare mongering until you see it actually happen then you think well they did tell us but people choose to ignore it.

They are telling us what they are going to do but we turn a blind eye.

BBC had this article up saying xxx person in 2025 now gets up and works from home 4 days a week and wears a mask outside blah blah. 2025!!!!! Why would you even say that? Base on what?

They said smart meters were only for convenience never to give energy companies power to turn it off...only a few backs reported that Ofgem are reviewing proposals to change legislation so that new smart meters rolled out can be turned off by energy companies when the grid cannot cope. And you will not be able to sue them or claim money for doing it....but you know we get labelled as conspiracy theorists or tin foil hat people.

I'm not saying I don't believe there is a virus I'm saying its being used as an opportunity to do other things that people wouldn't normally accept.

It's a pandemic with a novel virus. Why do you think there is any one on this planet who should be all seeing and knowing about how things will pan out?
The80sweregreat · 09/10/2020 15:12

Don't be selfish '
I wished it had 'been released ' in 800 years time as I would be cold in my grave and could go out for some food and drink without feeling like a leper!
Why 800 years?
