Yes that’s my thoughts too … this is the psychology of a CT when it’s shown they are wrong they literally double down endlessly into CGI AI Fake etc
But in this case it was the agencies calling out the family photo as being edited, and the refusal to provide an unedited copy, that started the rumour frenzy.Blown2CV said:

are you joking? Haven't you looked at the internet since that video came out?! If anything it's worse! They all think it's a fake background, deepfake of her, they are pulling out images of her wearing the same jumper years ago as 'proof'... they all firmly believe she's dead and this is just what they are going to use in a few months as the reason why she died.
Wow no I haven’t seen this. Person wears jumper they have worn before shock horror haha what on earth. Some people do wear the same thing twice … headcases

For some, they are so far down the rabbit hole there is no escaping, what a terrible existence that must be.coldel said:

Yep, I had a mate who used to be like this. Constantly talking about how everything is against us, was always stressed and depressed. The way he was finished his marraige and lost a load of mates too. Sad all round really.AW111 said:

The news agencies didn’t do much until ‘conspiracy theorists’ showed the images were poorly edited the obvious errors.

Or a photo editor spotted the issues, given the rules of photography going through agencies that the edits broke, it then got dropped from their lists. As a former photo editor, I’m amazed that something so poor was released (twice )
A conspiracy theorist spotting it would have then gone on to postulate some wild ideas as to why it was edited, anything away from simple user error, and usually all completely made up with no evidence but presented as such.
My own mother is way down the Rabbit hole i’m afraid.
Tory Party member, defaced the last leadership ballot ‘bring back Boris’
Saw her at the weekend. ‘I was watching a Katy Hopkins video today’….
Of course I wind her up about the ‘flags’ on shirts she would never buy / Berxit / Nobody cares about Ulez!
Keeps her going I guess.

I wouldn't call her a conspiracy theorist on the basis of the above, but I guess she could also be.Tory Party member, defaced the last leadership ballot ‘bring back Boris’

Some people have ulterior motives for pushing conspiracy theories, and it shouldn't be a surprise if much of the amplification of the rumours surrounding the Princess of Wales was done deliberately by Russian agents intent on sowing division and uncertainty, as outlined by this BBC report.Though some people reading that will believe that, precisely because it's being reported by the BBC, it must be a conspiracy theory that Russian agents are behind all that.

Of course we cant rule out foul play this early on, but usually terror attacks are designed to be exactly that, terror that maximises civilian casualties. This happened in the middle of the night, with minimal people around/on the bridge. Why not do this during peak hours?
But yes as usual we have people on social who speak like its the truth, without a single shred of evidence.

Was that bridge a key strategic target then? If so, why?
I guess it would be as 200 million dollars of trade passes through there on a very frequent basis. Look at the issues the Panama canal caused with supply chains.I am not a believer by the way. Nothing more than a ship crashing.

So what terrorist organisation are they laying the blame at? Given they seem to have a lot of information on it
