  • A Citigroup senior vice president was recently shown to be the man behind the biggest aggregator of posts tied to QAnon, a far-right hodgepodge of outlandish conspiracy theories. So a Bloomberg reporter rented a car and drove to his house in New Jersey to ask him a few questions.

      Qanon? Jeffrey Epstein was trafficking in underage children to the rich, famous and powerful. That is a conspiracy fact. Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew among others were implicated. So the Epstein case is proof that there is an international, cabal of elites who traffic in pedophilia. Yet, the MSM acts like there is no proof of the cabal of elites trafficking in pedophilia. But it has been proven in the Epstein case. And from what i know about the widespread occurrences of pedophilia in the U.S., the MSM's position, more than suggests people in the MSM are involved in the practice themselves and want to simply dismiss it with their "conspiracy theory "label. Also conspiracy is probably the oldest form of social behavior next to male/female relationships. People engage in conspiracies every day. So why all the talk of "conspiracy theories" being something that is to be automatically dismissed? Sounds like propaganda. In fact, it is propaganda.

      Exactly, our system produces cogs in the machine not critical thinkers. If get answers wrong you are stupid and humiliated, if get answers correct falsely are told one is smart. Completely false sense of what intelligence and learning means. No questioning anything, just filled with the facts and told how to think about the information. I remember a few decades ago, wondering why we needed a 2 hour news show to interpret a State of the Union address, as if I could not comprehend it. Still happening today which is why people have difficulty separating the wheat from the chaff. Sad indeed.

      @@danielleburke6854At least one of the vaccines was developed completely independently from Operation warpspeed and received no funding. Part of Operation Warp speed was supposed to be a plan for the military to distribute the vaccine. TRUMP HAD NO PLAN. IT DOESN'T EXIST! TRUMP TURNED AWAY 100 MILLION DOSES OF VACCINE THAT WAS THEN SOLD TO INDIA. Trump did however continue to spread false unfounded election disinformation to his loyalists who did "Storm" the Capitol resulting in five deaths. Please remember, Trump did not lead by example. He did not wear a mask, he did not social distance, he did not embrace science. In fact, he held rallies that did not adhere to either recommendation from his own CDC. He didn't even care about the health and safety of his own constituents. His handling of, in his own words, "The Democratic Hoax or the China Virus" was an absolute disaster.

This advance is done slowly and it's not visible to us, but if we are not going to help them, then at least lets not harm them by making them double down on their conspiracy. When calling them insane, that makes them believe with more strength, it's a defense mechanism from ridicule.

    Thank you guys for exposing one of the creeps behind this. Without journalists chasing things like this up, these slimy people would just walk around with impunity.
    Is the old saying goes the best way to truth is to illuminate secrets with some sunshine.

    q-cult a form of collective insanity, mass hysteria, infectious paranoia/ mindfuckery
    like when people burned women for made-up paranoid conspiracy
    & burned millions of people because they were de-humanized by similar mindfuckery
    (ps: also it happens to be stolen from sabrina on netflix)

    All these guys running these websites should be charged with the crime if inciting violence and sent to jail. Their words have had repercussions already.
