Do You Know Someone Who Believes in Conspiracy Theories? We Want to Hear About It.
The New York Times ^ | 01 June 2022 | Stuart A. Thompson

Share your experience if you, a friend or a family member believes or once believed in a popular conspiracy theory.

Conspiracy theories have become an increasingly common problem in the United States. From the QAnon movement to misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines, many Americans have accepted ideas that are not backed by science or fact.

We’re interested in speaking to people who at one point believed in conspiracy theories and other kinds of disinformation but have since reconsidered their views, as well as with people who currently hold those views. If you, a friend or a family member believes or once believed in a conspiracy theory, were part of the QAnon movement or joined an online community that shared misinformation, we’d like to hear from you.

Your experiences will help us understand conspiracy theories in the United States and how they spread and find new members. If you share your contact information, we may get in touch with you to learn more about your experience.

We will not publish your name with your submission without getting your consent.

They are making a list and checking it twice—and sending a copy to their Deep State masters.

The FBI has requested that the NYT assist in tracking down threats to the regime. The names of people who believe in conspiracies must be reported.

yes liberals believed:

voting machines are used to rig elections and shouldn’t be trusted (until Trump said the same)

George Bush bombed the world trade centers and faked a terrorist attack

Gore actually won vs W Bush

Hillary actually won vs Trump

The definition of a “conspiracy theory” is any belief that does not strictly conform to the “official narrative”.

If you do not check Wikipedia hourly to make sure your beliefs are up to date, you too may be one of those dangerous “conspiracy theorists”.

Remember: Ukraine is winning a glorious victory.

Remember: Ukraine troops are surrounded and need our help.

If you know anyone who does not believe both of these things report them immediately—they are a wacko “conspiracy theorist”.

In other words, only people who don’t believe in conspiracies will respond.

New York Times’s Walter Duranty got a Pulitzer Price in 1932 for declaring that Stalin’s terror famine in Ukraine, the Holodomor, was just a conspiracy theory.

I know people who still believe in Russian collusion. And of course, “the Charlottsville hoax” lives on as well.

Yes, I know of one. The New York Times. They believed Trump colluded with the Russians. They even got a Pulitzer Prize for it.

In this day and age conspiracy theories are just delayed facts.

Time to flood the NYT with “Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump! Pee-pee hookers!” stories. Give it to them good and hard.
