poppy bush pops up in a surprising number of conspiracy theories but maybe it's not too surprising considering how many actual conspiracies (iran-contra) he seems to have been involved in.

also his dad led an actual plot to install fascism in the usa iirc

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.

yeah that mandela one was O_o

and the Berenstain bears thing, like, I even had a dream as a kid about the weirdness of the spelling

I think at its heart it’s a mental illness, but it attracts the fringes is society

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

re scott's expedition to the pole: when they realised the plight they were in, the four officers knocked petty officer evans on the head and ate him

when they realised that wasn't enough, oates ran away into a blizzard rather than be eaten

You have your porridge

Scott eating Oates was a Red Dwarf joke.

scott eating evans is no joke

competitive elections are bad for america

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?

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!

my friend died in the iraq war

it was reported as an ambush

i think the powers that be used him and his unit as bait

so i guess the conspiracy about Hollywood elites being evil sex maniacs ended up being true

both the website for THE ARCANA and martyfalling's list of the "best bands" are very late 90s/early2000s. it doesn't... seem........................... real.

Go on...

Seems like a lot of pizzagate nonsense has been bubbling up again, especially in relation to Chrissy Teigen and John Legend.

Go on

...apparently dressing my daughter as Alice in Wonderland and a hot dog and having a pizza emoji on Snapchat has to do with pizzagate and being uhhhh darksided. Holy shit That thread is wild. Enjoy.

oh damn that sucks

"darksided" = determined to be involved in p1zz4geight?

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.

That italians mad at food Twitter is pretty fun

I know. They get so frustrated!

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.

If this thread is anything to go by I don't think it's going away

So.

If you thought the silly nonsense of "pizzagate" reached its nadir when someone invaded a pizza restaurant with an assault rifle demanding to see its (nonexistent) basement and after that it must have died down... it didn't.

Instead, it got weirder.

So cool to witness the return of the Dark Ages within my own lifetime.

That's a really good thread!

Yeah pizzagate is some unhinged scary nonsense

customer at tacqueria, to cashier: "hey did you see that light in the sky the other day? Here's a pic I took of it"
cashier: "hmm yeah. They said it was some rocket it but I don't believe it"
customer: "No that's true. It was a SpaceX launch in California"
cashier: "Nah I think they said that to cover it all up. They quickly launched some rocket so they could say that's what the light was"
customer: "Uh heheheh um ok but they can't really launch a massive rocket like that quickly enough to cov--"
cashier: "Funny how people are so quick to just believe what they're told"
customer: "..."

Extreme skepticism is almost always a cover for extreme ignorance

oh hell yeah, that rules

"focus on my taco, you shitgoblin"

There’s a new doc on Netflix called Gray State - haven’t watched it but looked up the story and it’s one of those “he was secretly murdered by his own govt for his political views” conspiracies. There’s an interesting New Yorker piece on it: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/04/10/death-of-a-dystopian/amp

Crowley and his wife were pretty clearly conspiracy nuts, and he obviously had mental health issues that were undiagnosed.

yea that's what they want you to think man

That article is worth the read. And devastating.

The Deep State as fictionalized by… Steven Seagal:

https://www.amazon.com/Way-Shadow-Wolves-Hijacking-America/dp/0999497502/

This is the story of an Arizona Tribal police officer who stumbles onto one of the of the biggest cases in the history of the Southwest. He is a member of an elite group within the Native American communities known as The Shadow Wolves. What comes with his discovery is the uncovering of massive corruption in places where he once had placed his total trust. Shadow Wolves is a book of fiction based on reality. Both author’s have worked with, confronted, and seen the power of the Deep State and the manner in which, at times, federal government agencies willfully violate the Constitution and the laws of the land in service to special interests. Recent events has for the first time made many American citizens aware that the Deep State is very real; that the mainstream media tends toward bias by often offering a false narrative designed by the secret intelligence world in service to special interests. The fight for America’s soul is taking place far from Washington, D.C. This is a story of one small group of patriots fighting the good fight.

Apparently any fire and collapse of a concrete-core high rise brings everyone out so here's the obligatory Metabunk thread on the São Paulo high rise fire/collapse today.
https://www.metabunk.org/são-paulo-high-rise-fire-and-collapse-wilton-paes-de-almeida-building.t9684/

so uh have we done the 'arizona child rape camp' thing currently setting the rightwing pizzagatesphere on fire? because holy shit this is dumb

helpful twitter-thread primer starts here

There's a one-sided standoff shaping up in Tucson, Arizona. A group called Veterans on Patrol, headed up by a guy who has never served in the military, found an abandoned homeless camp.

I really do think my capacity to be astonished by the stupidity of humanity is permanently disabled at this point. Like, this is obviously completely insane, but what else is new.

I kinda want to go there and stand on the sidelines gawking for a bit before suddenly looking very alarmed and strapping on a gas mask before I frantically run away.

this def sounds legit tho
