    No it isn’t. I didn’t say anything about QAnon.

    Do you really need me to explain your own point to you?

    **** me.

    What now? Neither you nor Brian Boru can read, apparently. The conspiracy I was talking about in that post was true.

    Which conspiracy is true?

    Yeh you do because you’ve engaged in a strawman. I mentioned an actual conspiracy and you said “therefore Q Anon”. QAnon is clearly nonsense. But conspiracies happen.

    Which goes back to my statement about two sets of stupid people.

    The one I posted earlier about the Irish elite pedophile ring.

    You’re helping my theory here.

    I don't think you understand what you wrote. That's ok.

    Can you stop engaging in personal attacks and stawmen. Maybe even try and explain why my post seems to mean what you think? Where did I mention QAnon?

    You didn't mention Qanon. You are using Qanon type sites.

    With some conspiracy theorists I do feel somewhat sorry for them. The type that get sucked in by everything. Chemtrails, 5G and Soros. Of course the COVID-19 vaccines couldn't just have properties to keep the virus at bay. They needed to bump it up that Bill Gates was putting microchips to track us. All these theories typed into a gadget that tracks you anyway. I suppose your phone could be at home so good old Bill needs to know where you are at all times.

    I don't know if you are putting the anti-conspiracy theorists into a good light here, my boy?

    Do you think that the Catholic Church didn't engage in Paedophilia and cover ups? What part do you not believe in that?

    You've had quite a few times now to see what I was saying. I gave what is well known to be a fact in Ireland, as an example that some conspiracies happen. I assumed most people would get that.

    And that's all I am saying, that sometimes conspiracies do happen, although most are stupid of course.

    I reckon if you asked the people who were being silenced/told they were lying throughout, they would say yes

    Did people in the police/clergy/newspapers conspire to keep the truth hidden?

    I'd say yes.

    That wasn't never denied once people started talking.

    I knew a guy years ago who used to drone on endlessly about a pedophile ring in Ireland involving dozens of priests, known by bishops, facilitated by the Catholic Church, ignored by police and politicians, and apparently journalists knew but didn’t report anything.

    That’s the kind of looper we are talking about. Imagine believing that. Nutcase.

    Considering the scale of the abuse that went on, before it became socially unacceptable in 1994, it would be surprising for anyone not to believe that guy.

    It just seemed to be something you didn’t talk about at the time so fair play to him for “speaking out” but I’m sure everyone believed him but chose to keep their heads down and pretend they didn’t know what he was talking about.

    Conspiracies and collusion happen all the time. Unfortunately people use them to support untrue conspiracies.

    If you go to any conspiracy theory forum, you'll find it's 99% bull**** personal theories. Our own homegrown forum here on boards aptly demonstrates this.

    They'll have a temp facebook profile picture border that reads 'Question Everything' but believe everything as long as it's line with their own ideas.

    I was around at the time, say early 90's whenI first heard about this as a young teenager. Until then it was hidden. My mother was genuinely shocked.

    And clearly the Catholic church conspired to keep it hidden. The abuse mentioned in some of the reports went back to the 40s, its clear that the whole country was involved in a conspiracy of silence for that long.

    So conspiracies do happen. I could actually litter this entire thread with examples.

    Did you know that M15 wanted to kill Haughey and they wanted the UVF to do it? M15 suggested then that they would do it, and asked the UVF claim responsibility.

    The UVF declined and warned Haughey. Without that warning who knows what would have happened. With the warning we had proof.

    Now if the execution had happened I can guarantee that nobody in Britain would believe it. It would after all be almost an act of war. It wouldn't be believed by most here either.

    Appreciate your angle to the initial post. I was more referring that some people believe in such things as perpetual energy machines, Rothschilds ruling the world etc.

    Ah so you meant that 100% of people that believe the same conspiracies agree with each other 100%.

    Amazing insight!

    Who would have thunk it?

    They don't, that's the problem. Proponents of a conspiracy will often have completely contradictory views of that conspiracy but will agree entirely with each other.

    But then...the whole premise of this thread is a lie... It's almost as if.....

    Oh man, we are through the looking glass.

    Real conspiracies exist.

    Thinking that everything that happens in the world is a conspiracy is where you disappear down the rabbit hole.
