Weekend Conspiracies

Ace's Rule on Conspiracy Theories

So here's my rule on conspiracy theories:

I think everyone gets one or two free conspiracy theories. If you don't have any unconventional beliefs, you're kind of boring. You do not have, as Michael Scott said, a "child-like sense of wonder."

If you have three to five conspiracy theories, then I'd say you have a preference for the fantastical and dramatic and you prefer action-thriller movie plots to pedestrian but much more likely explnations. You like big, bold, often-gibberish theories that are more interesting than dull reality.

If you believe in six to ten conspiracy theories, well, now I think you're kind of a loon and maybe a bit credulous and low-IQ. Now I think you just believe in conspiracy theories because they're pretty simple.

But, if like Tucker Carlson, you now believe in ALL OF THE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, I don't think you're a loon.

I think you're a grifter playing the loons for Paranoia Clicks.

More details at the link. Don't comment on old threads.

Conspiracy theories tend to vary in quality, and some are more lasting than others. Also, some tend to overtake previous thought patterns. What happened to Candace thinking like this?

This Weekend's Big Conspiracy

Ed Driscoll posted a series of links on The Dignity Index social credit score coming to Utah. I think there is real stuff here. How do we sort it out?

There are several of them, with a LOT of information. My favorite is the reference to the Armed Queers of SLC. What is yours?

*

I happen to have some insider information (well, not actually insider, but advanced) that this "dignity" theme has been in the works for a LONG time. I'll see if I can dig up any insider information from my source. Heh.


* * * * *

And then there is the new Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy!

Noticed any other recent conspiracies or conspiracy theories?

Weekend

The Week In Pictures: Return to Normalcy Edition

The big news of the week was the end of the Democrats’ shutdown, which means that things are now back to normal. I.e., batsh*t crazy. (And, by the way, I am a convert to Bill Glahn’s theory that the Democrats never intended to achieve anything tangible by the shutdown. Rather, it was simply a means to fire up their base in advance of the elections in Virginia and New Jersey. The tactic succeeded, which means we can look forward to another shutdown next fall.)

Lots of the week’s memes were leftovers–Mamdani in New York and Sydney Sweeney (most of which I passed on, despite my high regard for Ms. Sweeney). But there were also some new topics, like President Trump’s endorsement of 50-year mortgages, which was not popular in meme world. And socialism remains deeply unpopular. . .

I think the problem is making "influencing" a career choice where that is one's only income, instead of making commenting on current events and such just a side hustle. When your livelihood depends on views and clicks and "likes" or whatever, that's going to be your primary focus, not the truth or facts.

18 Of course, then there are the people like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and other rich "influencers" who don't need the money and their "influencing" is just a project for them.

Those types I don't understand at all. And I typically am skeptical of them and ignore them, as I figure their ridiculous takes on things have some kind of ulterior motive behind them.

Being paid by someone to push it, have some kind of financial incentive to push it, etc.

20 The problem with ace's conspiracy theory model is we are living in a time when on a daily basis we are seeing yet another conspiracy theory be proven not to be a theory but an actual conspiracy.

I think as the huge conspiracy case the DOJ is currently building against the corrupt Obama/Biden administration and all assorted players like Schiff and Swalwell in Congress unfolds the term conspiracy theory will no longer be a slur. It will just be reality.

26 21 Catechism of the Catholic Church
[1700]

1700 The dignity of the human person is rooted in his creation in the image and likeness of God (article 1); it is fulfilled in his vocation to divine beatitude (article 2). It is essential to a human being freely to direct himself to this fulfillment (article 3). By his deliberate actions (article 4), the human person does, or does not, conform to the good promised by God and attested by moral conscience (article 5). Human beings make their own contribution to their interior growth; they make their whole sentient and spiritual lives into means of this growth (article 6). With the help of grace they grow in virtue (article 7), avoid sin, and if they sin they entrust themselves as did the prodigal son1 to the mercy of our Father in heaven (article . In this way they attain to the perfection of charity.

The funny thing about all that is, there DOES seem to be some there there, about what's being sprayed in sky.

At the very least, they are testing cloud seeding, to... get this, control weather. That's all real, there's no question it's real. The question is, what else are they doing?

I understand how people have lost trust in any science because of the climate and covid charlatans (that’s the worst long term damage they’ve done). But the chemtrails one is just childish; and believers ignore the fact that there is not a single credible piece of evidence of anyone collecting any of these nefarious chemical agents that have been collected; even though millions of pounds have supposedly been dropped.

76 First World Problem:

My "ten-cup" drip coffee maker finally clogged up with lime and would not work. I got the one-cup job down out of the high cupboard over the fridge, and made a cup. On my second such cup now, life is good.

Brilliant Idea:

Keurig, or some other appliance maker, should develop and market the "E-Coffee" system. A shelf-stable emergency coffee maker that is independent of the user's electric power and piped water, and/or refrigeration assets.
Pack all the following into a sealed canister: 3-cup coffee pod, 3-cup plastic or stainless carafe, 24-ounce bottle of spring water, packets of sugar and coffee whitener, and a drip coffee maker powered by one-shot disposable cartridge of butane. Burner and striker built in, of course. Whole thing could sit on the shelf for years, until an emergency strikes. You could sell refill kits for it, too.

79 It's a rare rainy weekend here in So. California. Flood watches up. We're in the Santa Ana river flood zone. Not a cold storm so I don't expect much snow in the local mountains, unfortunately.

It's supposed to rain until Sunday afternoon then off and on all week. Had it done this last year at this time the Palisades and Altadena fires might not have happened.

Ditto if we had competent non-corrupt government.

Now flash flood warnings on tv. Nowhere near me so why are they interrupting My Favorite Martian reruns?

Is this TMI ?

No idea. I've heard speculation that her families construction business needs illegals but I have idea what's true about her. I've also see speculation that she wanted Trump's endorsement for a Senate run and Trump refused.

She's always been pretty flaky and when she went to the mattresses for Kevin McCarthy she seemed to make a split with MAGA.

People used to put garlic on their doors to ward off vampires and werewolves. They used to make the sign of the cross after they sneezed.

Why?

The assumption is, because somehow, some way it seemed to work. Was that science? Sort of.

90 I don't know if I have a rule about conspiracy theories. Too many have been proven right.
I would say, if the theory is based around the government, any government, being dirty or corrupt or power-hungry...good odds that theory is fact.

The harder the Press pushes back against a theory, the more likely it's a fact.

If there doesn't seem to be any obvious benefit to a theory, either it's not a fact...or I haven't considered who is really benefiting.

Ancient alien stuff. I'm interested in the topic and there are a lit of amazing structures even we'd have difficulty doing with our level of tech. But I won't fight over this.

Chemtrails....meh.

However I do believe there are groups of people that are very interested in population control and used the jabs to do that.

1. I remember stories of China having 'ghost cities'- giant make work projects where cities were created and no one lived.
2. I could imagine a group of very wealthy people talking China into using one of those cities to house several thousand orphans, criminals, homeless and experimenting on them with the jabs.
3. Keep them there locked in, give them food, entertainment and see what effects the jabs had over 10 years or so.

I could see that. There was NO REASON for everyone to get the shot.

Pack all the following into a sealed canister: 3-cup coffee pod, 3-cup plastic or stainless carafe, 24-ounce bottle of spring water, packets of sugar and coffee whitener, and a drip coffee maker powered by one-shot disposable cartridge of butane. Burner and striker built in, of course. Whole thing could sit on the shelf for years, until an emergency strikes. You could sell refill kits for it, too.

The F.B.I. was absolutely squared away for many decades. They did Yeoman’s work exposing corruption, subversion, espionage and spying in this country. They were not corrupt per se. If anything their problem was hiring standards were so rigorous that they often had difficulty infiltrating the organizations that were causing trouble.

The real problem, then as now, if Congress, the DOJ, and presidential administrations want to obstruct investigations or the results of same, and decline to prosecute, all the good work they did comes to naught. That was the legacy of the 1930s thru the 1950s and State Department communist infiltration. Millions dead or behind the iron curtain, the loss of China, Korea, Cuba The C.I.A. and its predecessor the O.S.S. was a problem from inception, because there was no oversight and a huge off budget funding scheme. During congressional inquiries in the 1950s you’d hear a Senator say things like “I don’t want to know what you guys are doing. I’m sure everything is fine”; patriots were disinclined to believe they could be doing anything untoward.

150 In the 1990s I had a neighbor who was all about conspiracies and his main support for any of them was that any evidence about them was hidden. Contrast that with recent conspiracies, where the conspirators basically announce what they're up to but also tell the public what they are officially supposed to believe in spite of what their eyes are telling them.

The novel corona virus was a manmade bioweapon that escaped from a lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Crossfire Hurricane was a political operation by higher ups in the FBI with no legitimate predicate, used as an insurance policy against Trump getting elected.

Joe Biden was not sharp as a tack.

Fifty-one former intelligence officials did not want to know whether the Hunter Biden laptop was real.

The Clinton Global Initiative was actually a bribery and money laundering scheme masquerading as a charity.

Blue state governors kept their states locked down to hurt the economy not to protect public health.

172 One reason for conspiracy theories: when information is regularly withheld, or we are blatantly lied to by the MSM and/or government, you have to look elsewhere to make it make sense.

That's what changed during covid (and continues): things simply stopped making sense. Common sense ceased to exist, things we've been told all our lives (e.g. herd immunity, biological male/female, etc.) were suddenly deemed completely wrong, like a switch being flipped. These new narratives happened so quickly across the board that it was impossible to NOT consider something/somewhere centralized orchestrating them. People started speculating, attempting to piece together some idea of what was happening -- and that's when things can go really sideways ith conspiracy theories.

2. Physics has got waves all messed up: the magnetic field is at right angles (phase wise) with the electric field, not in phase like all the physicists think.

223 184 Chrysler 300 was popular with the ghetto crowd for a while. I rented a few and liked them but always felt weird driving in one.
Posted by: Its Go Time Donald at November 15, 2025 12:56 PM (F2Ar1)

I had not one but two separate instances where a black woman - complete stranger- approached me in a parking lot to tell me what a nice looking car the 300 was.

I'm an average looking middle aged white guy - nothing special. Only time anything like that ever happened. And no, they weren't working girls or homeless, just respectable mid aged women.

Looking back, I passed up two chances to have a black girlfriend. LOL - married.

224 Got a free People Magazine (blecch) in the mail, and America's Sweetheart Michele Obama was on the cover. Will this prognathous-jawed she-beast ever just recede into the background, or do good works anonymously like other First Ladies?

She was strenuously styled and coiffed and threatened to consider a political run in the future. Luckily Americans are ungrateful racists so she won't put in the work.

234 I plead ignorance on this one. There may be perfectly reasonable explanations for all of it, but it's also entirely possible the mad scientists of our modern world looked up at the sky, saw the vapor trails, and thought "We could hide all kinds of shit in those."

This is as stupid as it gets. Look up in the sky, see a contrail, then access FlightAware and it will identify exactly what is flying overhead. Unless its a small private jet, barely capable of carrying a payload of anything, it will likely be a commercial airliner that has scheduled airport departure and arrival information that can be confirmed.

There are plenty of applications that track celebrities, corporate executives and others by the their ADS-B (mandated) signals. There is also SSR (2nd Surveillance Radar) If an aircraft is circling around or going into some secret lair of some Bond Villain it will be tracked and X, Bluesky or some other venue will let the world know.

88 I recall M Obama complaining that she couldn't wear her hair "natural" in the White House because all the racists would find it too ethnic. Then she wore it natural for awhile, but now seems to have gone back to the unnatural style. What's up with that? Who's forcing her hair choices on her now?
Posted by: Emmie -- be strong and courageous! at November 15, 2025 12:09 PM (FMtrg)

-----

On rare occasions she has appeared in public in her natural hair, no wig. Her hair is sparse and scraggly, possibly damaged by decades of weave adhesive. I don't think any white people care about her wigs. It would be nice if she shut up with her endless whining and ingratitude, though. It's slightly depressing to see somebody sink so low, and it's an archetype for other whiners.

266 as stated 30 years ago -- how little has changed (and how little normal people have learned to avoid similar fate).

"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans."
-- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.

To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK -- OBAMA'09

What is the vital national interest-- IceKing Joe'21 delivering it all to the desperate and deliberately evil.


A historically accurate portrayal of 9/11 is incomplete without a 40ft statue of Hillary with Bill on a leash, pissing all over the American Flag, while she read Newsweek, listens to Sean Penn's Death to America broadcast live from Tehran, while she aptly cleans up Bill's business with the front page of the NY Times. Remembering who did this...
