What conspiracy theories do you believe in? - Put your tinfoil hats on

Aren't stars only white dwarves and red giants?

I'll let the charts explain.

 

[12345]

Speaking of stars, what do you all think about Betelgeuse? Has it exploded yet or not?

But actually on topic. Remember the whole Wayfair thing?

I did not expect that to show up again, or even in the Epstein files.

This is the sort of question that an intelligent person asks. You need to ask the sort of question a stupid person would ask and then remember that there are a lot more of them than there are of you. And that question would probably go: "ARGH! Are we being replaced? Are they going to kill us? Do they control our leaders? Have we caught space diseases from them?"

There is also the factor of time and demographics.

The alien panic scenario is old, dated to the 1950s-60s. It was postulated with a white, devout to some form of abrahamic religion US population.

Protestant salt of the earth people would have panicked if it suddenly became very clear that aliens exist and all their beliefs are fake.

Now, the average redditor would just want to fuck the aliens. That was not true 70 years ago.

The ufo panic is a fable based on an entire nation freaking out because their religion was just acked in plain sight.

If you want a modern day iteration, imagine what would happen in the middle east if Vishnu appeared over Mecca and shat all over their meteor. It would be bedlam.

Betelgeuse is likely to have a good 1-10 hundred thousand years left. That is very soon in geologic terms of a star going boom.

Here's a conspiracy theory - the entire drive of modern media, modern social media and modern diet, is to render humanity so apathetic that in the event of some great cultural shock like aliens, artificial general intelligence or hard evidence that we're ruled by child molesting elites, mankind still goes to work in the morning.

I think this has already happened. I really don't think anything would move people to act short of things that affect their life directly like lack of access to food, and even then I think people are so depressed/beaten down that because we can't reach the people responsible, that anger has nowhere to go.

As even the Romangutans know, you won't get a revolt without starvation.

This has not only already happened, this is how it always have been.

Epstein's personal assistant ordered an unnamed item off Wayfair for $8453.

But Wayfair selling missing kids was a schizo conspiracy so stop believing your lying eyes.

That's a lot of money for a kid. Maybe it was a dreidel shaped dildo with fancy gems in it?

 

[Lian Xing]

it would be a blinding white.

The corona during the eclipse was the whitest thing I have ever seen. It was pure white; angelic is the only adjective that even comes close. Everything on earth that is white isn’t.

just doing a quick search. There are old persian rugs on wayfair going for as high as $500,000. It looks like there are a lot of things around that price range it could be.

Just using the free goyim tier ai I have access to, I got this. It's not not useful enough to give me the exact item it could be based on the final cost. But there are a lot of things it could have plausibly been.

Not to sound corny but this scares me a lot, it feels like we (the common man) are trapped and possibly have already lost. what hope do we have when we are so dependent on the systems that abuse us, I personally feel like the best option we have is to forsake this world and look for the next.

You are never trapped, friend. I realize it may feel that way from time to time, but I promise you that you are not trapped. No one is.

What you are witnessing play out before you is designed to keep you locked precisely where that train of thought leads:

Fear.

Fear is a limiter. It causes obstacles. It blocks.

All the 'power' ascribed to the self-proclaimed rulers of this world is contained within each and every soul embodied here. You, me, @NoReturn, @teriyakiburns - pick whomever you'd like, and that power is present within that individual. You are immensely more capable and stronger than you may lend yourself credit, friend.

I personally feel like the best option we have is to forsake this world and look for the next.

A valid option. I would suggest there is another option which may be appealing to some of you reading along: bring 'heaven' to 'earth'. Why let 'them' 'win', when you can instead have precisely what your heart yearns for in spite of 'their' best efforts to the contrary?

The part of the play we're passing through right now involves the controlled demolition of 'the old' to make way for 'the new'. There's plenty of noise to get lost within while that plays out (as there always is). The death throes of tiny tyrants sitting on thrones of lies can be exhausting if one gets overly invested into it. However, I'd dare suggest that where this all leads will be a positive experience unlike any thought possible to anyone.

As always, I'd suggest that attention and energy may be better suited towards helping you right where you are - your personal situation, your neighbors, loved ones, etc. One may be pleasantly surprised how quickly one's situation can be turned brighter through such a simple change of focus.

I'm not blind to the atrocities and strife and suffering, friends. I'm just reminding you of something you already know: you're worthy of your best timeline.

Much love.

But we're getting away from the point that the next pandemic will be used to cull and ban dogs and i'll chuck in a freebie, other animals as well.

They want to take your dogs away (in the uk) to appease the invaders.

The story comes from another push to diversify the countryside and part of it is the control, restriction and ban on dogs because "muslims visit this area". They're saying muslims are scared of dogs but that's not technically true, they see them as dirty animals on the same level as pigs, so having one jump up and lick a jihadi is a big insult to them.

As I said back in October last year, they're going to cull the dogs, foot and mouth style.

Here's an attempted one: Scientists never predicted an Ice Age.

You'll even find some poisoned questions pre-primed on AGW websites where they'll say "oh, there were some popular stories featured in a magazine about it but this was never a general scientific consensus".

Well, you rarely get a general consensus on anything that is a specialist area but I remember being taught about the coming ice age in school as a kid. I don't remember it in huge detail as I was pretty young but I am certain there was a default view that we were heading towards another ice age and that this was close enough to worry about as a species, talk of how humanity would survive it etc.

I was a kid and I cannot testify to HOW promoted it was, but it was a thing scientists predicted and definitely more than the "oh, some magazine cover existed" stuff that AGW proponents declare.

When I was a kid, I was consistently taught that Florida would be submerged by rising sea levels by 2014.

Has it exploded yet or not?

"Yet" is a bit of a complicated question when it comes to cosmic distances and relativity.

True. To clarify: Do you think we will see it had happened within the next 50 - 100 years?

Unlikely, apparently the star has been described since ancient times when it was described as being yellow-orange, so it only reached its late stage relatively recently and will probably last another million years or so in this stage. There was an article suggesting that it might go supernova in less than 300 years, but it doesn't seem like it will. If it's really a shor time like 300 years it'll have already gone supernova in the sense that we can talk about things happening at the same time over such vast differences.
It'd be very interesting to see, apparently it'd be as bright as a full moon and fully visible during the day here.

I agree with this. And it would be utterly devastating if it isn't --which is the very intent to begin with.

They keep you complacent, slowly deteriorate your mind with low energy and pure negativity, and then go in to fix the issue themselves.

And of course "fixing" the issue means "fixing it" in the old Biblical way where they totally destroy civilization and coop up any survivors in agrarian communes that sum up as pure living death. They did this in Medieval Europe, they will take it worldwide.

I don't know where else to write what I am thinking without getting my account deleted or being personally attacked, but, in light of the most recent batch of Epstein files, it has been half-vindicating and half-frustrating to see a whole new wave of people, including a lot of people who were too young in 2016 to even know what was going on, saying that they now believe there is an elite global network of pedophiles and generally evil people, running the world. The frustrating part is when someone who was there in 2016 chimes in mentioning Pizzagate, and you can see in the responses from the 'uninitiated' that we will probably never get anywhere because the disinfo and muddying-of-the-waters back then worked. People think it's bogus, people think it was retards and schizos saying there were children being held in the basement of Comet Ping Pong, that it's tied to QAnon, etc., and even though you have this common understanding of 'the problem', all of these people have a completelydifferent schema for who that includes and what different terms fundamentally mean.

Pizzagate was itself a conspiracy to convince people the whole idea of an elite pedophile conspiracy was the idea of lunatics. Meanwhile the entire world actually IS ruled by a conspiracy of predatory sex fiends.

The only things anyone needs to know about pizzagate.

You're welcome.

Spoiler

you still get a Wikipedia article at the top of the youtube search results if your search includes the word pizzagate lol

Spoiler

In all seriousness I do enjoy the fact that these are a bit of a time capsule back to that 2016 time period, its before trump started his first term, and its looking at parts of the zeitgeist that are sort of adjacent to the forum in a few ways.

Obviously these don't actually fill you in on any information about pizzagate. I just remembered these happened
