Love it. I googled him. "Microwave weapons that turn people into stressed, confused, submissive zombies are being used in Britain's inner cities"......ah OK, so that 's how Corbyn gets his voters!

A mate of mine texted me to tell me he is sending me a copy of Who Built the Moon

I texted back to say I already had that album, so no need to send it

He replied that it isn't the album, but a book!

I found it on Amazon. Oh dear!

"The moon has confounded scientists for many years. It does not obey the known rules of astrophysics and there is no theory of its origin that explains the known facts - in fact it should not really be there. When researching the ancient system of geometry and measurement used in the Stone Age that they discovered in their previous book, Civilization One, the authors discovered to their great surprise that the system also works perfectly on the Moon! On further investigation, they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moon - no pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. For example, the Moon revolves at exactly one hundredth of the speed that the Earth turns on its axis; the Moon is exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and is precisely 400 times closer to the Earth. They also discovered that the Moon possesses little or no heavy metals and has no core, in fact many specialists suspect that the Moon is hollow. If our Moon did not exist - nor would we. Experts are now agreed that higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is!

When all of the facts are dispassionately reviewed, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is who built it?"

Jebus H. Eclipses are not always going to happen, he could get that right. And they have not always been around. Then the 400 seems to be a galactic joke and one that is probably pulled on a lot of planets throughout the universe.

Punch a hole in it and hang it up by the privy.

Fair play to amazon's marketing team

Having looked up Who Built the Moon, a browser ad for this one is now chasing me around the internet

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1545394946

"... All of the evidence points in one direction - that the moon harbors intelligent life, and has done so for many thousands of years. Our satellite is a cosmic Noah's Ark - a gigantic alien spaceship."

David Icke edging closer to the mainstream media?

Talking with Eamon Holmes on TalkRadio yesterday for 40 minutes

Icke is billing it as: An interview that changed the views of so many about the 'mad man'

Gordon Brown announcing he was dumping the UK's gold reserve was a deliberate ploy to dent gold prices and raise the Euro to aid shadowy banking figures.

Quite obviously a prototype Dyson sphere. Named after James Dyson, who invented the orb he called a 'sphere' in order to improve the vacuum cleaner.

The other version of this I heard was that he did this to save one of the city banks from oblivion due to their (adverse) derivative exposure to a high gold price at the time.

The QAnon stuff is actually quite interesting. There's a lot of BS surrounding it now, but at the core of it - thanks to some of the unexplained timings of posts and various things - there is definitely someone who is either close to Trump or has some insider knowledge at the WH. Maybe even Trump himself.

As is the Hollywood Peado-ring stuff kicked off by the firing of James Gunn, the support for Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.

Here's one I'd never heard of before....

I was idly doing some research on the DH comet as we are coming up to its 70th anniversary.

We're all aware, right, that the Comet suffered from metal fatigue due to the first ever combination of square edged windows and a pressurised interior? 2 mid air breakups grounded the fleet of the world's first jet airliner - and by the time it had been investigated and relaunched with round windows, America's 707 had incorporated the lessons learned and stolen the lead they retain to this day.

I stumbled across a thread alleging that the Comets were, in fact, brought down by IEDs. Why? To hand the hugely lucrative jet airliner lead to America.
So, a CIA job then? Seemingly not - the culprit named is the DVD.
Who? Well, a quick googling suggests they are a German agency, involved in nuclear arms deals with Israel... Oh, and they officially don't exist. Any if you talk about them online too much, you'll likely wind up having "an accident".

Well, colour me convinced!

The author of those posts is Michael Shrimpton who is the subject of this thread.

amongst his other claims:

There is a super secret German military intelligence agency that is behind every terrorist attack/natural disaster/major accident ever called DVD.

Madeleine McCann was abducted and murdered by DVD (presumably because, as a 4 year old girl, she knew too much).

DVD stole a nuclear warhead from the Russian submarine, Kursk (the sinking of which they probably also caused).

DVD planned to use this warhead to destroy London during the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.

Only his intervention prevented the attack from happening.

His subsequent trial and conviction for a bomb hoax was rigged by secret societies that are out to get him.


I think it is fair to say that he is nuttier than squirrel poo.

I recently went down the rabbit hole looking into ‘Qanon’.

Holy fk, these folks are MENTAL!

It’s hard to know where to start with the sheer scale of the delusion, but perhaps it’s enough to simply say that many of them opine in comments that donald trump has been sent to sort out the USA and planet earth by ‘god’. He is doing this against the ’deep state’.


To get an idea of the level of lunacy, do a search on youtube for ‘George HW Bush funeral envelopes’. It’s really amazing, the world some folks inhabit. I am envious in a way, it must be exciting to live like that I would imagine.

I find the flat earth conspiracies oddly interesting, a fascinating insight into the human mind. Unlike most other conspiracy theories, you can easily disprove it with your own eyes, but those who believe it have an answer for everything. Photos of the earth? All fake. Astronauts? Simply hanging from wires. Seeing the curvature from a high altitude? That's because aircraft use curved glass. Why are there no pictures of the ice wall? Because NASA has armed patrols all the way around it. Gravity? All a lie. Eclipses? The Moon is just a big rear projected hologram.

We have known the Earth was round since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, the idea that Columbus set off to prove you wouldn't fall off the edge is a complete myth. But despite Poe's Law being in full effect, there are those who genuinely believe it, and not just from a religious perspective. If nothing else, at least there is a vaguely plausible reason why the moon landings were staged or 9/11 being an inside job. But if the Earth really is flat, what would be gained by hiding it from us? Surely religions would be desperate to get the truth out, as it would be all but concrete proof of a creator.

But when faced with any conspiracy theory, ask yourself this. Whilst it's certainly true government have done and still do plenty of shady stuff, they are also completely incapable of completing major projects of any type on time, or not spend their time with pointless infighting and points scoring. Would you really trust them to be competent enough to keep a massive conspiracy secret?
