The Conspiracy Theory thread

Jump to new
The covid vaccine is actually a deep state conspiracy to inject everyone in the country with tracking and control nanobots, invisible in solution they start multiplying when in the body.

Once in the bloodstream they can travel to the brain and emit radio waves of the same frequency as the brain, overriding normal brain functions and controlling the individual.

I predict a LNP win at the next election because of these nanobots.

The PM, Health Minister and Chief Medical Officers are in on the scam and only received injections of water to suck the masses in.

Craig Kelly was right , you can't trust those in control !
 
Interesting, elegant way to simplify the fight against fake news and conspiracy theories that take one down endless rabbit holes. Some excellent skills in the story as well.

Don’t Go Down the Rabbit Hole​

....Our current information crisis, Mr. Caulfield argues, is an attention crisis.

“The goal of disinformation is to capture attention, and critical thinking is deep attention,” he wrote in 2018. People learn to think critically by focusing on something and contemplating it deeply — to follow the information’s logic and the inconsistencies.

That natural human mind-set is a liability in an attention economy. It allows grifters, conspiracy theorists, trolls and savvy attention hijackers to take advantage of us and steal our focus. “Whenever you give your attention to a bad actor, you allow them to steal your attention from better treatments of an issue, and give them the opportunity to warp your perspective,” Mr. Caulfield wrote.

One way to combat this dynamic is to change how we teach media literacy: Internet users need to learn that our attention is a scarce commodity that is to be spent wisely.

In 2016, Mr. Caulfield met Mr. Wineburg, who suggested modeling the process after the way professional fact checkers assess information. Mr. Caulfield refined the practice into four simple principles:
1. Stop.
2. Investigate the source.
3. Find better coverage.
4. Trace claims, quotes and media to the original context.
Otherwise known as SIFT.

Mr. Caulfield walked me through the process using an Instagram post from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccine activist, falsely alleging a link between the human papillomavirus vaccine and cancer. “If this is not a claim where I have a depth of understanding, then I want to stop for a second and, before going further, just investigate the source,” Mr. Caulfield said. He copied Mr. Kennedy’s name in the Instagram post and popped it into Google. “Look how fast this is,” he told me as he counted the seconds out loud. In 15 seconds, he navigated to Wikipedia and scrolled through the introductory section of the page, highlighting with his cursor the last sentence, which reads that Mr. Kennedy is an anti-vaccine activist and a conspiracy theorist.

“Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the best, unbiased source on information about a vaccine? I’d argue no. And that’s good enough to know we should probably just move on,” he said.

@Joe Blow
Mate, the post doesn't belong here either ?
It's completely out of context anywhere bar where it was posted, which was after a "notting" post.

Whatever though, just don't want Bas (for whom I have a healthy respect for) or others to get the wrong idea.

Sorry, that comment was directed at notting. I moved your post as well so you also got that comment. I didn't watch his video but it looked like conspiracy theory stuff so that's where I filed it.
 
Right you are, thanks Joe.
I now know what I didn't see due to my course of action.
Cheers.
Apologies for my bemuddling and confusion of aforementioned matter.

What would the theory be exactly. He is basically quotaing data and research.

The End of the China Bull thread is for economic discussion, specifically the thesis that bullish economic conditions in China have ended, are ending or will end. Any discussion in that thread should be focused on the Chinese economy.

The idea that COVID-19 was intended as some kind of Chinese biological weapon remains in the realm of conspiracy theory. It also does not concern economics, so the post needed to be moved to another, more appropriate thread. I decided that this thread was probably the best fit.
 
Now this is a genuinely different and in my mind intriguing conversation about what happens in a relationship when one partner discovers and falls instantly in love with Q Anon.

Be interested to hear other thoughts.

QAnon Almost Destroyed My Relationship. Then My Relationship Saved Me From QAnon.​

How Covid isolation and supporting Bernie Sanders primed me to be sucked into a dark conspiracy theory.

I was radicalized overnight. I went to bed as a liberal, a die-hard Bernie Sanders supporter, social activist and a feminist. The next morning, I left the bed viewing Donald Trump — a man whom I had utterly despised — as a hero fighting a war against the Deep State. In the ensuing days my fiancé Dave would hardly recognize me, and our relationship would nearly be destroyed.

My conversion happened last June, soon after California expanded the stay-at-home order to control the Covid-19 pandemic. As an extrovert, I did not take the lockdown well. The inability to go out with my friends, work with people and interact with strangers left me feeling trapped and suffocated. At the same time, I was struggling to adjust to sharing the house with Dave after being single for most of my adult life. There were times when I desperately needed to get away for a couple of nights to reconnect with my energy … but where do you go during a deadly pandemic?

This actually sounds like it was the best thing to happen to her. And that her boyfriend and friends are still cultists dbags.
I think she just swapped from one cult to another there and then landed closer to centre. Her boyfriend still has a cult think problem.

She said it best:
"This experience has taught me a lot: Before I joined the radical right, I was part of the radical left. Now I am more open to opinions from the whole political spectrum and my curiosity and compassion has expanded. I’m OK with not having the answers. I have learned who my real friends are. I’m thinking of this whole experience as a form of death and rebirth. I am excited for this next chapter of my life."

Deprogramming the left is as important as deprogramming the right
 
The White house tweet earlier is gaining traction for the time difference between Moscow and London.

Meanwhile, back in the deteriorating Afghan situation, CNN is back to its usual propaganda...

"Chanting death to America, but they seem friendly"

WOW

Reminds me of CNN "firery but peaceful protests" reporting...

Could you imagine if this was Trump. Media would have had a field day.

If this is true: originally Trump said he would lay waste to the Taliban if any US citizens were hurt. I'd expect that to still be the case. Or was he an Afghanistan national?

This is Biden's Benghazi moment IMO (and also in the opinion of many others)
