France is half at fault for WW2

Yes, It was Germany who started the war by invading Poland and Britain and France declared war on Germany HOWEVER they barely did anything (the phoney war) until France was invaded in which is when they started fighting. Now France could have spent all that time doing almost nothing making way more preparations for the war and take all possible scenarios and use logic and facts to not end up underestimating the strength of Germany. France made a Defensive on the Maginot line, not seeing the fact that Germany would go right around it like they literally attempted in WW1, this is on France for literally not taking in to consideration that maybe Germany will go around it’s defense like it literally did before.

France ended up surrendering as we know but if the French leaders used their brains and used logic, facts, and data, they would be MUCH MORE LIKELY to be able to actually prepare properly with all the time they had in the phoney war AND when seeing how Germany kept increasing their military years prior to WW2, like how did they not see anything big possibly coming, they ignored the most obvious warning signs and facts which lead to them underestimating the power of Germany which could have possibly been prevented if they just used their brains and logical thinking skills to know Germany would likely use the same tactic to go around the defense like they did before. Gotta be naive to think “oh surely they wouldn’t think of that idea again”

If France was completely prepared and was able to fight back against Germany, the outcome of the war may have been different and not as many people would have died. Millions of lives may have been lost due to France’s leaders being naive and lacking thinking skills. Germany may have been able to have been stopped much earlier which means millions less would have died.

Now of course there’s a chance this wouldn’t have changed much but I think there’s a very high chance that it would have.

Looking for a conspiracy theorist

So a family recently was stating some things such as snow isn't snow, it's just chemicals, we all won't have a Xmas etc etc based off a guy she devotedly follows. She said his name is either Gary p... Or Greg P.. I'm trying to find this creator to see what rabbit hole she's gone down

Hollywood pedophilia

Found an old reddit post in this sub asking about Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.

Post :

"Were there an any conspiracy theories about Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington committing suicide in the same year?"

Top comment:

"Yep. The conspiracy theory is that they were suicided. They were working on documentary about the hollywood pedophile ring and both got taken out for it. Also Chester is allegedly John Podesta's son. Look into it. Chris wasnt a drug addict and was rumored to be trying to divorce his wife, who is from a shady family. She also had a legal battle with Soundgarden and she refused to give Chris's first daughter from his first marriage, her inheritance."

They allegedly were working on a documentary that may expose child pedophilia in Hollywood before they both unfortunately committed suicide in the same year. Interesting.

Wonder if anyone who commented their opinion dismissing these claims sees it differently now considering the 'current times'. Post is from 2017 and now unfortunately locked thus no longer can comment on it. I bet they might've not been so quick to dismiss it as absolute shit, IF the post was posted today...just maybe a little bull.

Just a question.

If Alex Jones relied upon information originally reported by the mainstream media - but only later retracted as inaccurate - insofar as forming his opinion that the Sandy Hook shooting was untrue, what legal theory was used to find Jones liable?

My ex on project 2025

Let me know if we need to lock down anyone’s iPad or Switch. If we need to protect ourselves from developing more bad habits that could contribute to censorship or get us imprisoned, maybe this is necessary for all of us?

I wouldn’t mind coming over and talking to all three of you about how sorry I am for any inadvertent negative influence there has been from me.

It’s dangerous to think that any antisocial or inappropriate behavior will be in any way funny and/ or tolerated while we have someone that seems to be a dictator in charge of our country.

I think leveraging that idea might be helpful, even though it might be a slight exaggeration.

We live in a society and in civilization, and there are consequences for our actions — and many times for our words as well.

When we’re trying to show the world that we are the best country there is — which is, in truth — a myth, the rules of being part of it are different than when we think we are free.

Especially with the new upcoming two-faced government that says, “do as we say, not as we do”, we need to be more careful with our words and our actions so we aren’t a part of creating changes that we don’t want, or ending up in prison.

The reason I said I would talk to all three of you is because then we’re not singling anybody out.

What do you think of this? Then when actual “freedom” is restored, perhaps we won’t take it for granted? We have four years to establish better habits. Does that make sense?

Did you read that project 25 suggests banning video games? And if that, why not slippery sloping into censoring YouTube or musicians? We don’t want to be any part of suggesting that these things might be a good idea.

Trump won because his base needs to be controlled. And hell is coming.

We all remember Covid and the shat show that was. Wear a mask, stay home, take the jab etc… now imagine how that would have went if it was Hilary telling everyone to do that.
The white male is the most powerful group in the US. They need to held in check, so Trump as a puppet is put back in power, because something wicked this way comes. Imagine how the magtards would react to Kamala saying we have to do this or that. Whatever that is.. I don’t know, it’s just my conspiracy theory, I don’t have a flow chart or PowerPoint presentation to share, just a theory.

So if numerology math 🧮 is real, how do we use it?

It’s all over. 3, 6, and especially 9 are apparently the power players. First proven rule of numerology is boiling down to the root #. This is done as follows. (Don’t ask me why because I honestly don’t fucking know) Let’s say your important number was the circumference of a ⭕️ = 360 degrees. The Root # is found by adding 3+6+0 =9 sounds like crazy talk until you realize this strange math is true for every true shape in existence (to my knowledge)—

Literally every true shape boils down to the number 9… Triangle (3 angles adding up to 180 degrees) (1+8+0=9), circle 360 (3+6+0=9), square (90 x 4 =360; 9) … ad Infinitum. Shapes ALWAYS come back to 9.

I ask again if this strange numerology math is real and it’s everywhere- how could you possibly use it?? 🤔

Take a clock 🕰️ for example. Goes up to 9 and restarts. This ^ emoji clock reads 10:10 or 10 + 2 on the clockface= 1+0+2 = 3 .. 10:15 = 4… etc until it restarts at 10:40 (10 & 8 on the clock face) = 9. 10:45 (10+9) it restarts = 10 1+0 =1.. 2…9, repeat back to 1. Why it resets at 9? Who knows. But it does.

This strange numerology math is evidently real - but how could you possibly use it?? 🤔

Peter Thiel is man behind the curtain

Dude got mad at Gawker for saying he was gay and groomed Thiel fellows for his harem, so he funded Hulk Hogan's $10M sex tape lawsuit against them and took them out of business.

Then he got mad at Silicon Valley Bank so he had his Founder's Fund spread a rumor they were failing, and have all their backed startups pull their funds, which caused a run on SVB, and caused SVB to fail. Meanwhile he was shorting SVB stock, profiting on the downfall he set in motion.

Now he's mad at Democrats for trying to tax his $5B+ IRA account so he funded Trump's campaign, hand picked JD Vance to take over when Trump inevitably steps down on Jan 22, 2027 (giving Vance 2yrs minus a day + 2 more 4yr terms), pulled in Elon to add more fuel and chaos (and was a major funder of the Twitter acquisition directly and through VC funds, and pulling in their PayPal buddy Sacks and his VC funds to join as well), and is giving Trump most of the cabinet picks to dismantle the executive branch of the government ... Almost like his SVB bank run, but on the US Government, and I guarantee he has many investment positions in play that are designed to take advantage of any chaos or downfall - all while he quietly pulls the strings behind the scenes.

Trump's transition team not taking GSA money, office space, or technology because it is "privately funded" is in all certainty funded by Thiel (through shell companies), Musk (directly, because he doesn't care), and Sacks (because he wants a cabinet position). Given that all 3 are historically backed by Saudi, Chinese, and Russian state and private funds/LPs, there is a whole lot of red flags here.

Political leanings aside, we should be a lot more focused on Thiel (German born), Musk (South African born), and Sacks (South African born) pulling the strings of the incoming administration.

3 animals rule the animal kingdom and all the universe

I believe the earthworm, praying mantis, and bumblebee rule the universe and come to our Earth to be our judges. The earthworm stands for G, the praying mantis is O, the bumblebee is D. Representing GOD. And meaning the earthworm stands for Generator, the praying mantis as the Organizer, and the bumblebee as the Destroyer. Earthworm generates your destiny. The praying mantis organizes who will be in and won’t be in heaven after death, depending on your Karma and how you treat people, animals, and plants in this life time, and all the elements. And the bumblebee is the destroyer, who destroys your soul by bringing it straight to the Sun God instantaneously. This is only done if you treat people with disrespect and break God’s commandments. More to it than this. But this is the a brief summary beginning.

Flat Moon Theory

I have a theory that the moon is flat. Hear me out. I think the world government is hiding that fact for a few reasons.

So the theory:

I think the Earth is round, to get clear. But the moon? You ever notice how you only ever see one face of the moon? They say it's "tidally locked", but I think it's tidally locked because it literally can't rotate. It's flat. It's also made of metal and creates perfect solar eclipses.

Here, look. For the metal claim, from wikipedia:

"On November 20, 1969, Apollo 12 deliberately crashed the Ascent Stage of its Lunar Module onto the Moon's surface; NASA reported that the Moon rang 'like a bell' for almost an hour, leading to arguments that it must be hollow like a bell."

Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_Moon

For the solar eclipse explanation, from the Institute of Physics:

"The fact that solar eclipses are as dramatic as they are raises an important question. Why does the Moon almost perfectly cover the Sun during an eclipse? For the Sun to be fully blocked by the Moon, it needs to look like it is roughly the same size as the Moon when viewed from Earth. As it happens, even though the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, it's also about 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun is. This means that from Earth, the Moon and Sun appear to be roughly the same size in the sky. It is a complete coincidence."

Link: https://www.iop.org/explore-physics/moon/extraordinary-behaviour-moon

With that out of the way, we must ask why the moon, metal, perfectly aligned with the sun, and flat even exists. Well, supposedly the moon is rich in Ilmenite, and important ore for titanium production. It also has uranium and othe heavy metals important for space flight. Why is this important?

Because the moon is the landing pad for the Martians that colonized Earth. We all know Mars used to have water and an atmosphere, and from the stuff we've found on its surface, probably extensive life. I think they ruined their planet and jumped to Earth as it entered the habitable zone within our sun's orbit. The created a metal disk, perfectly aligned with the sun (as to give omen to their coming to Earth to genetically create a new species by mixing their DNA with hominids, as they wanted to be revered as Gods, and also to hide their base on the opposite side of the flat moon) that acted as an evacuation hub for their exodus.

The world government doesn't want you to know your origins, or that your "Gods" actually live in a base on the landing pad side of the moon. Think about it. Why has humanity not gone back? We went a few times and never again? Despite all the resources up there? No, doesn't make sense. It's because we needed to prove, "hey, the Moon is round and there's nothing to here, see!" as technology improved, so that no one started poking around.

Its why Elon Musk ignores the moon as a jumping off point for returning to Mars (yes returning). Because that's where our Masters are, and they are waiting to go back and terraform the planet with OUR resources and don't want to be discovered.

Flat moon everybody. Its real.

The Simpsons

The Simpsons is a show about a family that committed suicide together and everyone in the show are people that died for The Simpson family. The origin goes back to Abraham Simpson Lisa Simpson’s Grandpa and then to Tut Simpson. Who is King Tut in Egypt. When they unburied King Tut’s tomb inside was Tut Simpson, who released a curse on the world that pretty much says the second Christ will not allow certain people into the heaven gates past a certain date. Only certain few will be accepted. This is all because we unburied his tomb and didn’t respect the wants and needs to remain untouched and a mystery to the Earth. Now the real mystery is, is you the person reading this going to make it when that day comes of judgement. Or will you be eaten by The Simpson curse until so help you God.

Part of me wonders in the song “Lost” by Linkin Park was written by AI

Just to preface this: I’ve loved Linkin Park since I was a kid. I’m not saying any of this in a bad way about them it’s just simply something I see being entirely possible. I want to just believe that Lost was actually just a song that didn’t make it to the Meteora album like the story goes. Plus after Chester passed away years ago it’s awesome being able to hear a new song with his voice in it, especially with the classic Linkin Park style. But I can also see that being a really good way to the music industry to test making a song with AI using a late singers voice and seeing if anyone will notice it

I know the music video was made by AI which tbh makes me question the song more. I think the songs great and it fits in with Meteora perfectly. I think the story of how it came to be makes perfect sense but I don’t trust the music industry with AI and like I said, it seems like the perfect way to test out AI music

Cryptocurrencies for your iris?

In Piura and Sullana, long lines of people are participating in a controversial initiative by the company Worldcoin, which offers cryptocurrencies equivalent to 210 soles in exchange for scanning the iris of their eyes. This company seeks to create the world’s largest financial identity network, but in other countries it has already been vetoed due to concerns about security and data privacy. What do you think of this exchange? Would you do it?

I just saw the Anne Heche video

Where she is trying frantically to get out of the stretcher. She looks like she is not burnt and it looked like they had her wrapped up as if she was deceased.

I thought Id heard all the common theories.. until I met a GRAVITY denier...

I'm home for thanksgiving holiday grabbing a drink at the local bar and I making conversation with the guy next to me. He started telling me how the earth is flat and how we never went to the moon. I entertained those ideas until he said that GRAVITY is made up by the deep state...

Ai prompted media?

I'm kind of curious. This is a hypothesis based mainly on feeling. But every news outlet feels...kind of the same. Each outlet has a different tone but the same set of information. Like the Information is fed but given a prompt to spin it however it wants to get the most attention. Kind of like how a font makes all the difference to the words "Be Mine". Sure it's the same words but the way it's presented can make all the difference. This hypothesis can probably be shot down immediately but I wonder if most writers in the news have been replaced with something similar to an AI chatbot like chat GBT. We're practically surrounded by AI replacing jobs at this point. Actors and voice actors are going on strike over AI, there are Digital Artists and protesting and struggling cause of AI. Have media writers been cut and replaced by chatbots due to cost reduction?

Russia is filling the governments across the world with puppets

Basically it's pretty clear by how the american elections went (elon paying for votes, strange shit happening to ballot boxes, etc) and how the romanian ones are going (a borderline nazi nobody has ever heard of, not even in the country, won the first round of elections) that mr pudding himself is commiting voting fraud in multiple countries in order to gain puppets and control said countries. It's also awfully convenient that the german government collapsed soon after the american election.

My personal theory is that russia is trying to cut off support for ukraine as much as possible by making the puppets stop their respective countries from supporting ukraine, thus making it easier to conquer ukraine. This would cause a chain reaction so large that a cold war 2, if not a WW3 would start not long after. Russia's plans need to be stopped asap before things get any worse.

How to wake up from the American dream

If everyone only did work that they “loved and believed in” civilization would collapse in a week, maximum. There would be no one to run the machines and do the paperwork. What we want isn’t the same as what everyone else needs.

Also, the biggest problem with a conspiracy theory that there is a secret group of rich people secretly running the world is that there is obviously a non secret group of rich people not even trying to hide that they are non secretly running the world.

Also also, does god actively give little kids brain cancer, or does he just let them get and then sit back and watch while it slowly kills them? This isn’t a rhetorical question; I’m actually looking for an answer.

New sub created by bots, becoming one of the most popular.

Holy shit, I don't even know where to put this.

I'd never heard of a sub called theviralthings before like, yesterday. Now I'm seeing it on the front page every couple of hours.

I got curious and sorted the sub by its top posts ever. Literally all of them are bot accounts. I got bored after checking like 20 of them. They're usually 2-8 years old, one comments, then they just woke up a few months ago and started being active. Virtually none of them have a comment history older than 10 days. For some reason they're also so subbed to aita sub. All of them. I'm sure more posts will be human/organic soon, now that they've kind of forced their way into awareness.

I checked the mods, and at least 2 of the 3 are bots too. They constantly post random, generic comments like "wow so cute" and "I love this so much" all the time.

Something maybe even more strange though; I tried to start writing this comment in one of the threads on the sub, and it wouldn't allow me to type the name of the sub! Lol how tf is that possible? I just kept trying to type the "v" in the name and it would just leave a blank space over and over. I had to draft this in my email. I'm also pretty sure I was muted from the sub earlier today after I replied to someone that pointed out to me that the OP was an obvious bot. I had a somewhat controversial comment and 4 replies every time I refreshed, then it just suddenly stopped, and no more change in my comment karma. Clearly not an organic change over a few moments.

I know there's a ton of bots on Reddit, and many puppet accounts and whatever. But has anyone actually seen a whole sub forcefully generated in weeks, created by bots, modded by bots, and used by bots on this level? What's the point, to have unfeterred access to pumping up accounts to have credibly later? Is this about to become common here?

I'm no conspiracy theorist, but I'm trying to think of where to post this as I write it out. Lots of subs have rules against referring to Reddit in a submission, or meta posts or whenever. But the admins must be able to see this happening in the backend, right?

So weird and unsettling. I hate that it's so easy to influence people.

States aren’t upset over Israel’s exploding cell phones ….. cause they are all using the technology.💣

I know everyone cheered when the Israeli Defense Forces blew up cell phones and pagers owned by suspected Hamas members. And why not? Who likes Hamas ?

I was shocked to see how little anyone cared! Cell phone bombs should be banned worldwide just like gas weapons.

Why no outrage ? Cause all the other first world countries are doing the same . You could be holding a bomb in front of your face as you read this . 🔥

The Century of the Self (Full Documentary)

In the 1890s a plucky young man named Edward Bernays immigrated to America with his family. That family also included another famous member, his uncle Sigmund Freud. Edward however turned out to be way more evil and decided to take the knowledge of psychology to use to better craft propaganda to manipulate the masses. Not limited to politic propaganda Bernay’s consulting also heavily included crafting propaganda for advertising big corporation’s products and messaging. 100 years later we mostly still use his original tactics as well as consult current psychologists to continue on his work to keep manipulating us. This documentary focuses heavily on his shitty influence and how it’s still fcking us today.

How do you balance protecting free speech while minimizing weaponized disinformation?

If you are running a hypothetical government, how do you balance protecting free speech while minimizing weaponized disinformation?

Foreign agents in Western Democracies spread conspiracy theories to fuel internal instability and encourage separatism. Destabilizing internal political processes.

Freedom of speech and expression are hallmarks of a free democratic society but also a weakness.

If we extend unlimited Free Speech even to those who are actively spreading weaponized disinformation - if we are not prepared to defend truth against the onslaught of disinformation - then Democracy and freedom will fail.

The 21st century has become an information battlefield.

What is the solution?
