American Talk Show Hosts

Does anybody else think it’s a little weird that everytime a talk show host retires or plans to retire, all of a sudden these weird stories come out about them that defames them? Like the whole Ellen thing and then with James Corden. Even watched an interview where Leno said something along the lines of how when you leave, people start writing stories about you. Why and what is the fascination in doing so? Just something I’ve been thinking about.

The CIA allowed members of a right wing paramilitary organisation known as the Contras to smuggle cocaine in to the US at the hight of the Crack epidemic. The Reagan administration defied Congress and illegally sold weapons to support the Contras.

Can't Find A YouTuber Guy Anymore - Ex-Army Guy (Jimmy?) with Italian Last Name - Do you know?

I used to watch a guy named Jimmy (?) on Youtube, and ex-Army solider deployed in Iraq, and then started doing "conspiracy" stuff. I even saw him once on Ancient Aliens I think?

Last time I saw him on YT he was showing all his guns, and then poof - gone.

Let me know if he's still on YT, the name of his channel, or wherever else he is - I thought he was very very good on camera. THANK YOU

Sense of impending doom for years?

For the longest time I can remember even when I was younger - I always felt like at some point in time as a nation we will face something really bad. Something you would see in movies (coincidentally more and more of the movies and shows are odd predictor’s of what’s to come). As of late everyone knows what a shamble our nation is in and the world around us, especially post Covid. But I can’t help shake that this isn’t all planned. What confirmed it for me was during Covid my sister and I were cleaning out her room and going through some stuff stored under her bed - mind you this stuff hasn’t been touched in years, and Covid was the perfect time to clean house. At the bottom of the container was a single Cards Against Humanity card facing down. I picked it up and it read something along the lines of (I don’t have the card in front of me at the moment) “The CDC will declare the outbreak to originate from _______”. When I read that aloud we both just sat there and this really weird feeling of dread and doom and heaviness overcame us both. We could not believe that this 1 card of the entire deck that hasn’t even been on this house for years was at the bottom of this container, under bed and stored away for a very long time - long before Covid. Since then I feel like I’ve been seeing signs and things make more sense, my perspective of the world has shifted and this feeling of doom got stronger. I’ve always had stuff to be “prepared” but I couldn’t help but shake this feeling to up the ante on getting more prepared. The classes I’ve taken, the food I’ve ordered and plans I’ve made to prepare may seem crazy to others but the times TODAY are proving me to not be so crazy after all. If you can see, you know what I’m talking about. Anyone else get that feeling? Or maybe had some real revelation to “see” more clear?. I don’t follow the news a whole lot as it’s filled with paranoia and negative energy but I am in tune with that’s going on elsewhere and it’s dark, it’s evil, and it’s spreading like a plague.

Aliens are fake. Let me explain...

The mystery around area 51 and are Aliens and UFO real has been on the internet for a while now and is still there on the internet now.

People believe that aliens and UFOs are real but spoiler in my opinion they are not this is what my research says.

On 24th june 1947 when private pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed that
he saw 9 shining UFOs near a hill around Seattle.He claimed that they were flying very fast with speeds of 2,000 km per hour.Within 2 weeks from this,people reported seeing flying UFOs from all across America. Meanwhile a man from new mexico mac brazel found a weird piece of waste on his field it was a tin foil,rubber and thin wooden beam. He couldnt figure out what it was. He thought this weird piece of something might be linked to the UFO flights reported by the public recently. He took the piece to Roswell's Sherif on 7th july. This drew the attention of an army officer, Colonel William Blanchard.He was the commanding officer of the Roswell Army Airfield (RAAF). The next day, RAAF released a statement saying that,
the rumours of the flying disks had come true."The 509th Bomb Group of the 8th Airforce,
Roswell Army Airfield was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disk."The US Army claimed to have received proof of UFOs.But the next day,the US Army Officials retract their stance.They said that the debris they were presented with was from a weather balloon.As proof, photos of Major Marcel were released,where he can be seen with the pieces of the weather balloon. After this, the news died down. The media assumed there was never a UFO, but merely a weather balloon.

But years later, in the late 1970s,once again rumours were spreading
of an alien craft being spotted flying over the New Mexico desert. The rumours held that lightning struck this UFO leading it to crash. Killing the aliens inside it.
In 1980, Major Marcel wrote the book, The Roswell Incident, claiming that the debris he had seen was from nothing made "on this Earth." It didn't seem to be from this world. Since then, the importance of the Roswell Incident kept increasing. New theories have come up. People claim that in the UFO crash a living alien was discovered. And that the US Army has kept the alien at a secret base, and some people believe that till now, the alien is imprisoned at a top-secret base. And that the US Army is trying to reverse-engineer alien technology.
And research on alien life. But this is happening at a top-secret location. Area 51.

Area 51 is actually US military facility found in the middle of the desert. Area 51 was actually created during the cold war when there was rivalry between America and the Soviet Union.
"Paranoia was growing about communist infiltration of unions, in the entertainment industry, and in the military and government itself." This was created as a testing and development facility for aircraft. This is why in the 1950s, the most important spying aircraft in America's history were tested in Area 51. Since such critical military weapons were being tested here, obviously, this area was kept in secrecy. From the outset, the outside world knew very little about this area. In most UFO sightings, this is what happens. Military drones, military decoy flares,or any unknown air infrastructure developed by the military are mistaken by people to be UFOs. The term UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Objects. No one said that they were aliens. Unidentified can mean any unidentified object. Since these spy planes were tested in and around Area 51, it's obvious why Area 51 came to be associated with aliens. The US Airforce project Blue Book investigated several UFO sightings. Wherever people claimed to have spotted UFOs, they noted the times and cross-checked them with their flight records. They saw that the flight records matched. In the late 1950s and 1960s, majority of the UFOs reports were eliminated like this.

In June 2013, the CIA publicly acknowledged the Area 51 base and the secret details of its history were declassified. Under the Freedom of Information Act. The information was released by the CIA."Newly released CIA documents officially acknowledge the site for the first time. But if you're looking to gain insight into the aliens or spaceships, you might be disappointed." In this information release, we found out the exact location of Area 51. In January 2017, 13 million pages of declassified documents were released by the CIA online.
In these documents, you will find several records or the UFO sightings and the experiments carried out by the CIA.

In January 2021, once again, thousands of documents on UFOs were declassified by the CIA, Today, the US government doesn't refer to these as UFOs, because of the heavy association of the term with aliens, instead, the US government now uses the term UAP. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

It is believed that the UFOs,are part of some highly classified program. On which the government agency of some country is working. Even now, Area 51 is an area where next generational aircrafts are tested. Today, Area 51 has become a global sensation.
Not only for Americans, but for people all over the world. And has become a good source of tourism for the American state of Nevada.

SO this all concludes thats aliens and the UFOs were made up by the american government so they could secretly build spy drones and aircraft in AREA 51

i hope you enjoyed reading this.

Non-Christians...

I've just deconverted from Christianity, but I believed a lot of theories when I was one. Now that I'm not, I'm wondering how I can rationalise them through a secular lens?

What purpose do "ritual sacrifices" serve if there is no devil?

What purpose does a humiliation "ritual" serve if there is no devil?

Things like that. I can understand freaks doing awful things to children being a thing because humans are awful creatures with awful desires, but the "ritual" side of things...how does that factor in? Eg: Bohemian Grove.

Give me your thoughts! Go!

conspiracy theory class

i’m a junior in high school right now planning a student led class focusing around conspiracy theories for my senior year. basically there’s this period at my school after winter break where students are given the opportunity to create and lead a course for 3 days (the courses last 3 hours each day), and i just need activity ideas for each day. basically what me and my friend are thinking about doing is focusing on political conspiracies (ex: jfk, 9/11) for day 1, cults/religious conspiracies (ex: scientology) for day 2, and miscellaneous conspiracies for day 3 where the students can research whatever theory they’re interested in and then make a video essay about it at the end of the day. me and my friend think we’re gonna incorporate discussions and video essays/documentaries/podcasts into each day, but i want it to be more engaging than just sedentary discussions and watching videos. does anyone have any ideas?

(also any video essay/documentary/podcast recs for any of the topics i mentioned above or any other suggestions would be much appreciated!!)

is it a conspiracy that we are conditioned to see violence on TV shows to desensitize us to the real issues happening in the news?

To test out, consider if we would react the same way if we never seen influential, graphic images, or cartoons. It built a tolerance. however, in human nature a person would spring into action to save, rescue and help men women and children in urgent situations.

American Idol / Kelly Clarkson

I think Kelly Clarkson was already under contract, and the American Idol show was an experiment to see if the could promote her via the show. The show was built up around her, and she was to be the winner all along. Then I think it worked so well, they decided they could do this experiment every season, and have a new face every year. So she got kinda cycled out for the new faces.

Is Ghost Hiring Stock Market Manipulation?

If investors are fed quarterly numbers to gather insight into their investments and one of those metrics is open positions WHILE we have countless people complaining they can't find a position THEN it would not be unreasonable to assume this is intentional/fraudulent behavior.

Is this just a more clever Great Depression and we are going to get new laws to protect against this strategy in 40 years? This go around though the elites are significantly more protected and it is an economic inequality issue. More of a great disparity.

If not, then why are we seeing the duality between the cost of living and headlines portraying a booming economy, massive interest rates, no inventory, insane housing cost.

That or overseas self masturbatory propaganda similar to what other countries do and have done as a preventative/deterrent?

Fuck if I know but this shit sucks homie.

Bezos’ 10,000 year clock is a tool for time travel

Disclaimer I have no sources this is just a “what if” thought for fun.I have not heard or read this anywhere else. Here goes.

So because the universe is continuously expanding, our place in the universes individual people is always changing. If we stand still on a spot on Earth, we are instantly very far away from where we were when we started standing still in that spot. Because the planet we are on is so far from where it was a moment ago.

So if we stood in or on a Time Machine and turned back the clock we would end up in empty Space that the earth has not reached yet.

But if we could tether the Time Machine to something like a monument or mountain clock we could have a reference point in time and space for travel, we’d know a location in relation to where the monument is and when it is there.

Right Wing ads

I noticed like a LOT of right wing influencers are selling body supplements and pills and shakes and stuff of that nature.

Seems kinda odd. Like a lot of them are critical of vaccines but they're going around doing so many ads for all these pills/powders/whatever that do who knows what.

It feels like majority are pushing something of that nature, which kinda rang an alarm in my head.

Idk I just thought it was kinda sus.

I have a stupid conspiracy theory about the weather

I'm a gardener. I keep getting weather forecasts that report it's going to frost or freeze (below 34 or 32) which would be regular for this area, so I bring my plants in. But then when I go outside during the night, it's easily 40, and it is borderline impossible on a normal consumer site to just get the answer to "what was the low temp last night". You have to get into the data sheets from the local airport or the national weather service. And for a gardener, common hobby, this is a normal piece of information to want to know, why is it not googleable? Even the AI bots won't tell you. But when you do find it low and behold it hasn't dropped below 40 once in the last 3 weeks, but according to the forecast it should have froze about 5 times.

So short version is I think the weather forecasts are being altered so we don't realize how fucked we are. :) happy spring to all my other gardeners out there though it's almost tomato time
