It's frightening how a lot of this b
ks spreads like wildfire.
That is, in my opinion, is one of the main problems with the internet. The rapid spreading of absolute nonsense.ks spreads like wildfire.As someone correctly said on here a few months back: 30+ years ago, conspiracy loons would just be the guy sat in the corner of the pub having people laugh at him because he said that he said the queen was a lizard and the deep state had a secret plot to make us all ill to control us.
Now those same sort of people can have an audience of millions by posting their made-up rubbish on social media and forums. The impressionable and the hard of thinking start reading it, sharing it, then all of a sudden you have a few million people around the world thinking there is a 'deep state' or Illuminati controlling world governments or some such crap.

For reference how did you debunk it?I then looked up the CNN article and saw that while the article was there, they did not use the picture of William, it was a photoshop.
In an attempt to get the discussion off bloody Covid, has the non-collapse of the Soviet Union been mentioned? Yep, the Soviet Union is alive and well though admittedly trading under a new name.
Gorbachev, Yeltsin, the coup, letting go of the Russian Empire territories in central Asia - all a performance and part of the plan to keep the inner party in power whilst they retrenched to a more sustainable Russia First position.
Sounds crazy? Well, yes. However, it's a not uncommon belief in Iran that Britain did it too and did it first i.e. that the end of the British Empire was a strategic move by the original Great Satan to allow it to continue to manipulate world events in the disguise of a middle-ranking power. I guess we run the world when the Jews are having a day off. Like on Hanukkah.
Speaking of the Jews, one of the Psalms mentions a "round world" and they're getting up for three thousand years old. No-one in the ancient world believed in a flat earth. That's entirely a modern day nonsense.
Not only did Elvis fake his death but so did Andy Kaufman and he used to do an Elvis impersonation in his act. Spooky, eh?
Aliens? Probably exist but probably haven't visited. Undiscovered tribes pop up occasionally and the world is really quite small compared to the universe.

Apparently Colin Chapman didn’t die following a heart attack and in fact faked his death and disappeared to Brazil in order to evade incrimination as part of the DeLorean scandal.
That's a whole lot more plausible than a lot of the vaccine bks.Did Hitler really die in the bunker?
The common theory is that he committed suicide alongside Eva Braun. But many have speculated that he managed to escape to South America like a large number of ex Nazi personnel did. A fragment of his skull was said to have been given to Stalin as a gift (Sort of the ultimate defeat over Hitler) But I think a DNA test was done on it, and it turned out to be a from a woman instead.
This begs the question though. If he did manage to flee Germany, then how would he have managed to do it? Was'nt Berlin completely surrounded by the Red Army?

Maybe he wasn't even in the bunker in Berlin? (I have no idea what evidence exists BTW, just chucking it out there)This begs the question though. If he did manage to flee Germany, then how would he have managed to do it? Was'nt Berlin completely surrounded by the Red Army?
ETA: after posting that I was looking through my TV guide thingy and came across:
DMAX 10:00pm. Hunting Hitler.
Experts investigate a potential Nazi munitions factory set up in Argentina after World War Two. And, did a leading Nazi set up a headquarters in Morocco.
(I am guessing they don't come up with any answers...)
