They say it started on Usenet I doubt they would be using such archaic methods in 1994, I started on the net in 1999 and it was a lot different to now even then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MAC33 10 #435 Posted August 23, 2019 They like to mix nonsense with real conspiracy to get the flock to turn away. Works unfortunately but not for those with an open mind wide enough to not swallow the bait. 911 - demolition charges caused the collapse of the three towers. Insurmountable physical evidence to back this up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Insurmountable physical evidence to back this up. I love the way proper conspiraloons try to paint themselves as the only ones in the know and everyone else is a mug. I looked at all that 9/11 nonsense when it first came out, before it got really boring. The ‘evidence’ is a mix of pseudo-science and wishful thinking and can be taken apart in minutes. The same goes for the moon landing nonsense. It also contains a lot of circular logic and references where you follow a link that is supposed to be ‘credible evidence’ and you find that at the end of the trail is the very thing that you are reading in the first place. It is by the gullible and for the gullible. (and the very bored!) I wouldn’t be surprised if the mischief makers who tried to manipulate the Brexit, Trump and Irish abortion votes, studied internet conspiracy theories to work out exactly how easy it is to convince people that the truth is a lie and a lie is the truth.

And the C64. And a whole host of other legacy systems (even commercial games on Dreamcast). You've got to see some adaptations of modern games for Spectrum to believe it.

Ruddy76 0 #443 Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Is anyone aware of the "Q" or; "Qanonn" thing? From what I can gather there is a low key mission underway, right now, spearheaded by Trump, by the US navy and army to put an end to the "deep state", and all the drug cartels, child trafficking and general abuse that goes on amongst the Hollywood, political and global business elites. Apparently someone within either the Trump administration or the military going by the name "Q" is, through a trusted network of internet contacts on certain platforms' giving "Qanon drops", in other words, something of a running commentary, to supporters, who are by and large Trump supporters it has to be said. It is said that this is the ultimate reason for the absolute visoral hatred for Trump amongst the Hollywood and political elites because many of them are implicated in all this. It has been noted just how many celebs and other elites around the world seem to have recently gone to ground and not just because of quarantining due to Corona virus.
