Is it ok if we talk about George HW Bush? Whats this think about paedophilia with young boys being taken from care homes to the white house, or similar?
It feels like every conspiracy theory ends up somewhere close to Bush I, and its not surprising. Reluctant to look into it too much (why does the right have such a fixation on this?!), esp with all the pizzagate palaver. Anyone got a primer?

queen died over xmas, tories persuaded the palace to keep it quiet till after the article 50 announcement: election was called, they asked for an extension and the palace very reluctantly agreed
everything turned to shit, they are stuck with it -- the lookalike stand-in is getting fed, she's old and planned to retire properly
(i don't really understand why the palace is so willing to help theresa may out in this narrative, but there it is)

xp reminds me the story of the ottoman sultan who died, and to avoid tumult while they got their fraught succession process in order, they propped his body up so he could be seen at a ceremony in topkapi palace and moved his arms like a puppet to quell rumours of his demise amongst the janissaries.
idk why we don't replace the queen with a robot tbh

yeah, mandela being released from jail was a massive news story. from my recollection of childhood it could really only be compared to things like the falling of the berlin wall (judging this purely on how often it was on the news and how big a deal was made of it).
personally i also saw him on a stage in george square dancing in 1993 so that helps too.

Exactly, right? I mean, there are 3 types of conspiracy. ones that are now pretty accepted as true, ones that are crazy - but then the ones that are inbetween, or where people take something and run way too far with it. With Bush's young boys one its wanting to know how far down that line it is

Kirov wasn't assassinated outside the Smolny Institute, he was actually shot by the embittered husband of one of his lovers whilst he was fucking her on his office desk. The conspiracy around it was about preserving his rep and the NKVD security covering up their incompetence. Bigger than JFK is this mother!

I think that pizzagate is an attempt by tge Vatican to delegitimize child sex abuse investigations while at the same time disrupting the worldwide dominance of American-style pizza. Think about it: pizzagate theories began to circulate after Spotlight won Best Picture and as Netflix was preparing The Keepers, a 7-part documentary detailing the church's involvement in child rape. And have you seen the internet commentsfrom Italians about American variations on Italian cuisine? They passionately hate our freedom. What better revenge than to reframe pizza iconography as the secret language of the pedophile? It would make normal people afraid to share their love of pizza while at the same time throwing the scent off the real pedos, the Catholic Church.

Pizzagate never really went away as far as I can tell, it's just been occasionally diverted back into the channel of Lock Her Up.
There was a theory that all of Robert Mueller's investigation was an enormous feint to get around to Clinton (because the Podesta's lobbying firm was involved with Paul Manafort) and that there's thousands of sealed indictments that will fall on all of Them from heaven on the day that the storm breaks. This comes up every once in a while and everyone gets excited until someone points out that Mueller became the head of the FBI on 4th of September 2011, and so obviously oversaw the 9/11 coverup.
There's been someone posting blind item scraps of questions on Reddit for the last few months that's taken most of their attention - you only need to have a few by chance align with news stories and that's read as cast iron confirmation - I've said it before, but Dan Brown has a lot to answer for.

Acknowledging that it's perpetuated by more than, say, two or three people with profound mental illness legitimately makes me want to stop existing in a world where Pizzagate is a thing.
