Freepers play "name that conspiracy"

This is exactly why we must secede. No and, ifs or buts.

If any of us thought for a minute we were imagining a world taken over by the likes of Fauci and Soros we were not mistaken.

I have met many doctors, nurses and psychologists I thought were a little or a lot nuts over the course of my life.... I haven’t changed my mind.

Just to repeat a November post:
The communist plan is well-developed and ready for immediate implementation...

Based on communist history, a reasonable extrapolation (Now that they have stolen the election) would be a strategy that has been used throughout their history... (Only the names are changed):

Step #1: Get JB elected by any means necessary;

Step #2: Shortly after inauguration remove him for dementia;

Step #3: Swear Harris into office with Pelousy as VP;

Step #4: Shut down all wall construction, open the borders, and grant amnesty & fast-track citizenship to the 40-million illegal migrants already here;

Step #5: Appoint obunghole & 3 or 4 others to the expanded SCOTUS who would quickly rule the entire Constitution unconstitutional;

Step #6: Ban all sales of guns & ammo;

“Let me tell you now the dirty secret that has *smart* Fake News reporters all over the DNC Media are freaking out right now.

They took MONEY from foreign governments/factions to publish their propaganda disguised as ‘news coverage’ to sway public opinion & affect US foreign policy.

Many in the DNC Media Complex didn’t just become paid political hacks for one certain US political party; they became FOREIGN AGENTS working for foreign clients and using their influence to publish stories and LOBBYING on behalf of their foreign clients.

Bob Mueller and his Merry Crew just spent 2 years proving what A Very Bad Thing it is to become a foreign agent without publicly disclosing this and filing as a foreign agent under FARA.

QUESTION: “But doesn’t the 1st AMENDMENT give them cover for this? Doesn’t free speech & the freedom of the press allow them to take foreign money ......”

ANSWER: .....no, it doesn’t. There’s no press exception clause in the FARA act.

REFERENCE: FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.

Do conspiracy theorists need conspiracy experimentalists to verify their theories?

[Tero]

It's more like religion. You just invent another conspiracy to fill in the gaps of the first one.

Do conspiracy theorists need conspiracy experimentalists to verify their theories?

Remember all the 'scientific' evidence that 9/11 Truthers used to go in for: melting points and tensile strengths of materials, shearing forces, masses, kinetics, construction methods, and whatnot? All that rational info brought in to support their conclusion, rather than leading them to it?

I've always considered Bill Maher to be a shitbird. His anti-vax-curious stance, his smarmy arrogance, his willingness to cuddle with irredeemable creeps like Dennis Prager--yeah he occasionally says something amusing, but mostly his stuff is lame, in my opinion.

But hey, he had a couple of crusaders on his show the other day that have got big thumbs-ups here.

'Bill Maher Pushes Steve Bannon Wuhan Lab COVID Conspiracy'

Back in April, Bill Maher went on a hysterical rant against China over the novel coronavirus. The Real Time host insisted that COVID-19 be called “the Chinese virus” because it originated in China, citing the Spanish flu as precedent (which did not come from Spain, unbeknownst to Maher); railed against the “PC Police” for refusing to let him and others call it “the Chinese virus,” even though hate crimes against Asian-Americans had risen to 100 cases a day at the time; and compared China’s wet markets, where he said the virus originated, to nuclear bombs.

Well, on tonight’s edition of his HBO show, Maher welcomed a pair of podcast hosts, the husband-and-wife duo of Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, to discuss the origins of COVID-19. Weinstein and Heying, for the uninitiated, are members of the so-called “intellectual dark web” who in 2017 both resigned from their posts as biology professors at Evergreen State College in protest of a minority-appreciation day, and have since whined about campus speech on a number of libertarian-leaning podcasts.

Maher proceeded to forward the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 was man-made and somehow escaped from a lab in Wuhan.

“We’ve heard a lot recently about the fact that maybe the virus did start in a lab,” offered Maher. “Let’s talk about that—the fact that there is this lab, I think it’s the only one in the world quite like it, in Wuhan, where it started. It would almost be a conspiracy theory to think it didn’t start in a lab, right? And that theory was demonized at first—Oh, come on, that’s conspiracy thinking, that started in a lab. But it’s certainly 50-50, would you say that?”

“Oh, it’s far more likely than that,” replied Weinstein, adding that “it looked to be about 90 percent” probability that it originated in a lab. “We are so politicized and polarized and partisan now as a country that if the wrong guy proposed this to begin with—and for the half the country, it was the wrong guy—then the rest of the country says ‘no way, no how, we’re gonna call that a conspiracy theory,” added Heying.

...

“These two features of the virus, the mutations … of the spike protein and its distinct backbone, rules out laboratory manipulation as a potential origin for SARS-CoV-2,” explained Kristian Andersen, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research, who authored a paper debunking the Bannon theory in March. Andersen’s conclusion was backed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious-disease expert, who said all available evidence pointed to COVID-19 not originating in a Wuhan lab but in bats. And this month, Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a top virologist, released an article concluding that: “There is genetic evidence that SARS-CoV-2 has natural origins. There is no evidence to support a lab leak.”

...

So, you can either trust a comedian and a pair of culture-war-obsessed podcast hosts--who were biology professors and are not epidemiologists or virologists--or you can trust the scientific community.

Yeah but he had a black porn star for a girl friend, so it's OK.

I don't spank it to either of them, but I don't expect you to be very accurate. I'm very proud that you remembered that I tried to point these two out to you.

This piece seems to aim hate at them, but I haven't heard you comment on their ideas, as opposed to their reputations. Maybe I will one day.

Pointing out error = Hate

OK, got it.

Helps me understand a bit better.

No, I called it a hate piece because it was heavy with opinion that looked...not loving.

members of the so-called “intellectual dark web” who in 2017 both resigned from their posts as biology professors at Evergreen State College in protest of a minority-appreciation day, and have since whined about campus speech on a number of libertarian-leaning podcasts.

But feel free to keep avoiding anything they have said, in favour of talking about the people themselves.

Some comment on ideas, some comment on people. Both are informative, in their way.

I'm not listening to the Darkhorse podcast because it is a novel podcast and it is unknown what longtime consequences it could have. So it is dangerous.
