What's it like living as a conspiracy theorist? (1 Viewer)

Do you wake up to the theme from X-Files playing on your phone?  Do you sweep your house for bugs using a gadget purchased from the spy shop downtown?  Do you comb through the weeklies while waiting in the checkout line at the grocery store looking for that last shred of evidence?  Do you gasp aloud when you find that evidence?  Do you find it hard to sleep at night?  

The truth is out there...

 
It involves a lot of different colored yarn and thumbtacks to support all the theories that I have currently on my wall.  

 
Is there much in the way of tin foil?  Do you keep kill lists for individuals prominently involved in your web of yarn to venn them out? 

 
Conspiracy theorists are even worse than those extreme right or left wingers. Possibly the dumbest class of people out there, or are they?

Ministry of Pain and Mr. Ham are conferring with each other in the Clinton thread about the various murders that Hillary and Bill have committed over the years. Perhaps one or both will be gracious enough to stop in and answer your questions.

Most conspiracy theorists aren't dumb. They're just mentally ill.

I was going to mention Ham.  I'm still not sure that MOP believes it.  I'm convinced Ham does.

I figure that as long as they're allowing me to live, I must not be right about anything.  :kicksrock:

That's just what they want you to think, especially when you share that point with other people. 

If you thought you were right, told people, and then disappeared, others might catch on.

(Notice that dutch liked your post.  Why?  Think about it...)

It's just like living as anyone else, I'm sure.  I get up, adjust the mind-control shield I keep over the canopy of my bed, use Tor to log in and check my email, immediately delete that account and start a new one for the next 24 hours, check to make sure the pieces of tape I keep over my underwear drawer are still intact, get clothes for the day, replace the pieces of tape, point my gun at the door before I open it, and go down to the corner store to buy a new burner cell phone so I can start calling my elected representatives to tell them about Chemtrails.  

Mondays, am I right?

 
Hey Henry, have you read the latest edition of The Illuminati Ledger?  Interesting piece in there about how Tor may be a Bilderberg Project and you are playing into 'their' hands.  The "Eye" Witness News Report confirms as well.  Be careful out there.

 
This seems like a good place for this.


FAA Warns of GPS Outages This Month During Mysterious Tests on the West Coast



 

 



 



An aerial view of the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (Wikipedia)
Starting today, it appears the US military will be testing a device or devices that will potentially jam GPS signals for six hours each day. We say “appears” because officially the tests were announced by the FAA but are centered near the US Navy’s largest installation in the Mojave Desert. And the Navy won’t tell us much about what’s going on.

The FAA issued an advisory warning pilots on Saturday that global positioning systems (GPS) could be unreliable during six different days this month, primarily in the Southwestern United States. On June 7, 9, 21, 23, 28, and 30th the GPS interference testing will be taking place between 9:30am and 3:30pm Pacific time. But if you’re on the ground, you probably won’t notice interference.

The testing will be centered on China Lake, California—home to the Navy’s 1.1 million acre Naval Air Weapons Center in the Mojave Desert. The potentially lost signals will stretch hundreds of miles in each direction and will affect various types of GPS, reaching the furthest at higher altitudes. But the jamming will only affect aircraft above 50 feet. As you can see from the FAA map below, the jamming will almost reach the California-Oregon border at 4o,000 feet above sea level and 505 nautical miles at its greatest range.

I gave the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division a call yesterday, but they couldn’t tell me much.

“We’re aware of the flight advisory,” Deidre Patin, Public Affairs specialist for Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division told me over the phone. But she couldn’t give me any details about whether there was indeed GPS “jamming,” nor whether it had happened before. Patin added, “I can’t go into the details of the testing, it’s general testing for our ranges.”

As AVWeb points out, Embraer Phenom 300 business jets are being told to avoid the area completely during the tests. The FAA claims that the jamming test could interfere with the business jet’s “aircraft flight stability controls.”

GPS technology has become so ubiquitous that cheap jamming technology has become a real concern for both military and civilian aircraft. And if we had to speculate we’d say that these tests are probably pulling double duty for both offensive and defensive military capabilities. But honestly, that’s just a guess.

These tests are naturally going to fuel plenty of conspiracy theories about mind control, weather modification, and aliens—especially with China Lake’s proximity to both large population centers like LA and Las Vegas, and the fact that Area 51 is practically just down the road. But it doesn’t take a conspiracy theorist to tell us we’re ####ed if terrorists or ####ty teenagers make it a habit of jamming GPS signals for everybody.

 
If you experience any significant GPS interference this month or know the “real” reason behind these test (aliens, right?) please let us know in the comments.

Correction 11:24am: This post originally misstated that one level of interference would occur at 4,000 feet. It’s 40,000 feet above sea level, and has been corrected. I regret the error.

My code book is out of date, but if this post still means what I think it means, yes.  I do need more tinfoil, and if you're picking some up anyway I'd appreciate it.

 
i was just curious about the chemtrail one.  i started doing research and became convinced.

weather control has long been a desire for the powerful.  it was even in batman.

 
You know who you are,

Do you think this is a ####### game? We told you to shut your cakehole and keep it shut or there would be consequences. Times up!

 
Ernest Hemingway was considered a conspiracy theorist by his friends. They thought he'd gone nuts. He kept talking about the government, checking for bugs, etc. 

MLK said the same. 

Both had close acquaintances very concerned about their mental health. 

Both were right. 

A good resource for this, instead of making fun of otherwise normal people, would be this exploration into the state of mind of those who have trouble with the lack of any transparency in our government.

i wonder if the nfl has known about the dangers of concussions longer than they're willing to admit. :whistle:

i  must be a nut job.  :bag:

 
When I meet one, I encourage them to just keep talking.  It's amazing how insane it can really sound if you just keep them going.

I met a guy in a bar who made a statement something like, "we have an alien living in the White House".  I said, "what that whole birther crap?".  He said, "No, an actual alien, like from another planet".

He then went into a long history of tying people together and how it's an elite alien race running the entire planet. :mellow:

what else did he say? :popcorn:

 
Saw a buddy recently who I hadn't seen in about 20 years.  The guy was always a little off, but now he's a complete conspiracy theorist.  Went on and on about 9/11 being a government job, blah blah blah.  Kind of scary actually.  It's fascinating to think what makes people this way.  It has to be done form of quantifiable mental illness.

 
Every day must be exciting with some new secret to discover.  Frankly, I'm jealous (hmm, I wonder if jealousy was created by the government to keep us fighting with each other...)

No, the government was created to keep jealous people fighting with each other. As proof, I offer you the political threads.

 
It is only a conspiracy until the evidence comes out in the open, then it becomes history.

EG:  The Lusitania was not carrying any weapons

Vietnam attacked us in the Gulf of Tonkin

The Spanish blew up the Maine

etc

So you never have any evidence on your side, but you do get to call everyone "sheeple" so that is a plus.

It sounds like the plot from They Live.  It would explain a lot.  :tinfoilhat:
