Yep; They’re all Goebbels children.

Conspiracy theories like Russia and Ukraine?

May I remind my fellow FReepers that "conspiracy" is not a crime, nor being a member of a "conspiracy group" or believing in "conspiracy theories;" this article appears to be conflating these three very distinct things - as well as suggesting that there is something nefarious about them.

So Google is going to tell us Epstien really did kill himself?

There was a time when RAND used to be worth a read, but apparently, it is now fashionable to engage in censorship and the shutting down of free speech with other like groups, entities, big tech, etc. 1984 was prophetic beyond the authors imagination, bet.

Psst.

Investigate network fake news media like CNN and their affiliates for conspiracy theories. They are RIFE with conspiracies.

[SoFloFreeper]

Bingo.

Half of the things that I used to think were nutty conspiracy theories have turned out to be true, or at least partially true. I used to think the John Birch Society was crazy. Now I realize they were just early.

If it does not fit their narrative it is a conspiracy. Todays truths are yesterdays conspiracies. I remember alex jones screaming a 10 years ago about chem trails and al of a sudden I read an main stream legitimate article where gates admits to the continued seeding the atmosphere will bring about climate change

The one I’m talking about signed up on FR one day after the WuFlu Task Force was announced.

I found my post. Here it is:

“To: grey_whiskers; 2aProtectsTheRest
This guy/gal/troll (2aProtectsTheRest) suspiciously joined us a year ago, and “coincidentally” the same month Operation Warp Speed was born. I supposed the Pence/Fauci task force peppered many conservative sites with embeds to bugger up the works and try to manipulate thinking people.

The Flat Earthers haven’t been silenced because they are not particularly dangerous. In fact, they are unfortunately touted by the Anti Christians as one example of the latent anti-science to be found in Orthodox Christianity. Thus the Spirit of Anti Christ influenced deep state tolerates them and they are not kicked off Twitter and other social media.(unless the support Trump!)

There’s a reason 4chan/8chan uses images to communicate
