Today's News: Conspiracy Theories

Does anyone still remember that 1997 Mel Gibson - Julia Roberts movie Conspiracy Theory?

   

It was supposed to be just a thriller - comedy. 

Turns out, it was also predicting the crazy now in too much of our society. 

So maybe this is how Conspiracy Theories get started:

She's probably married to JFK Jr (Elvis sang at their wedding) and will be Second Lady when JFK Jr. runs as Trump's VP in 2024. That's no crazier than the nonsense QAnon comes up with.

And the CT to end CTs, QAnon, of course:

I found that QAnon creators are evading TikTok’s ban of the conspiracy theory by making slight alterations in spelling and using emojis. The hashtag “TrustThePlan” was banned, but users continued to get over a million views using “TrustThePlan🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸” pic.twitter.com/5DX5TBnkyA

Even crazier, hashtags and videos about adrenochrome, the substance QAnon believers think global elites harvest from children, are still spreading and getting thousands of views. This search of a misspelling of the word yielded dozens of videos. pic.twitter.com/chhCJReQT9

Telepathic declassification as known in QAnon circles and Trumps delusional mind.

Is "seriously" numbered worse than regular numbered or is it just like numbering with a stern expression?

#Trump’s overt adoption of #QAnon shows that he has few alternative political strategies left to play. He is grasping at straws, not solidifying his political base. All he has left is violence, or the threat of it. He needs QAnon.https://t.co/Wd5eCZPVgl

Twitter is rocking with laughter tonight over Trump's ridiculous "declassifying with my mind" assertions:

I haven't seen this many images of Carnac the Magnificent since 1974.

But their ruling is void because Trump impeached those judges WITH HIS BRAIN

At least we can still make some jokes about this crazy stuff:

PHEW!! I mean I get it. This is serious.

It’s not like she led a nation wide conspiracy to overturn a fair election, encouraged violence at our nation’s capital which lead to death and held, and lied about holding, top secret government documents.
