Too many people would have to keep it a secret...

Because, yea. All of that has been explained to you before. Repeatedly. You just ignore and run away from questions when you're faced with these issues.

For example, we're still waiting for you to explain why the BBC reported the collapse early in the conspiracy narrative. We've explained it to you that it makes no sense. You didn't respond to any of those points.

So just tell us. Why do you believe that the BBC did this. What's your explanation for it?

Again I don't think you have an answer because you understand it makes no sense in a conspiracy.

Do I want a lockdown? No, no one does.

However if, IF, cases and rates are high enough (due to variants, Covid spreading quicker among younger or unvaccinated people, etc) that a lockdown is warranted, then I'd understand why they would need to lockdown again.

Of course in your fantasy world, all of this is some ruse to introduce a controlling 1984 society, so you are unable and unwilling to see any of this in any reasonable normal and objective way. It's like someone who is utterly paranoid someone is following them, and everything they see is yet another clue that validates that belief.

Cool... Why won't the health pass be temporary?

But we've done this repeatedly.

It's explained to you again here: https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117889067#Comment_117889067

It was a mistake on a busy, hectic newsday. You don't believe this explanation. That's fine.

We're asking you what your explanation is.

You agree that the BBC were told ahead of time for some reason you can't explain.

You also said that it can't be mistake that they let it slip early.

So you must believe that they reported it early on purpose. Right?

Ok. Fine. You don't believe that explanation.

Let's say for the sake of argument it's wrong.

What's your explanation?

Do you believe that it was announced early on purpose? Yes or no?

No. Why not just tell us what you believe?

Why run away.

We accept that you don't believe our explanation.

We've yet to hear yours. You keep ignoring our very simple questions about it and now you're trying to run away because you don't want to just state what you believe.

You're proving the point we're making.

So lets try one more time.

Do you believe that the collapse was reported early on purpose? Yes or no?

You're failing Logic 101 here, I don't need to prove it didn't happen - you need to prove it did. You're the one making the claim.

But I'm glad to see you admit, albeit behind a smokescreen, that you don't actually have any evidence. We're making progress.

Is not how it works.

I'd explain it, but it's been explained to you so many times and in so many ways, it's pointless.

Reporting mistakes happen all the time. I remember at one point they were reporting 8 planes had been hijacked, did that happen? No. It occurred because there was so much rumour and speculation flying about, this happens with live 24 hour news. Think of all the mass shootings in the US, early reports often contain errors about e.g. how many shooters there are.

On 9/11, WTC 7 had been burning for a long time, there was constant speculation it was going to collapse, I know this because I was glued to the TV that day. Obviously some of that speculation got misinterpreted by a news organisation and they made a mistake.

The BBC actually addressed this fully

The theory you are insinuating is that the plotters of this mass inside job to kill thousands of Americans decided to tell a news organisation in another country the time that a building would be destroyed. They have just revealed their entire existence and plan to a foreign media outlet, why would they do that? Outlets around the world would report anyway when the building fell, why would they need to "reach out" to tell one? That makes utterly no sense. Think. (and you have to support it with evidence, which you haven't done in any way)

If it was due to cases then no I wouldn't be happy, cases don't matter.

If it was due to high deaths and the NHS being under pressure due to high numbers being hospitalised then yes I would be fine if we had to go back into lockdown.

See! That's how easy it is to answer a question honestly, you should try it sometime.

"Why do you believe that the government won't kill people?"

"I don't believe that."

"Yes you do!"

Something to that effect I suspect.

Lol wut...?

We asked you questions. We spoonfed them to you several times. You ignored them all.

You're now pretending that you have "rational answers?" Ok then. What are they?

Also could you answer the latest question you're not answering? Debate what?

Again, if you guys just answered questions directly and honestly, you wouldn't be getting so wound up.

Seems to be a common tactic among new right wing grifters like Ben Shaprio et al.

Demand someone debate you. When they look at you like you're nuts, declare that they're obviously too afraid to. Claim victory.

Also gotta say: "If you don't believe that 9/11 was an inside job, you're racist" is a pretty new argument. Good to see that you guys can come up with new and even more ridiculous stuff 20 years down the line...

Well that's a first. To answer your questions in order; No. There are. Because they see the US and other countries at odds to their ideology, that they are trying to destroy Islam, and because they are secular or non-Muslim.

Al Qaeda are responsible for a number of prominent attacks, e.g. US embassy bombings in Africa, 9/11, Bali, Mombasa, Casablanca bombings, Istanbul attack, Madrid train bombings, there's a long list - do you think all those attacks are "false flags"? what do you think of them?

Of course I don't expect any answers

@King Mob "(I also wonder if it means that it's also the same 3 guys who apparently demolished WTC7...)"

I was watching one of the 9/11 documentaries the other day and just before each commercial break, a squirrel popped up on screen. So maybe it was three guys plus a squirrel. Evil little feckers...

"Question everything", doesn't question other conspiracy theorists and other conspiracy theories.

"I'm only seeking the truth", lies constantly

"Free speech" - constantly tries to turn the forum into a safe space and echo chamber

"I'm skeptical" - blindly accepts anything that validates their conspiracy/world views

"The experts are wrong" - consistently relies on deplatformed and controversial pseudo-experts and cranks

"Mods do something" - is banned from multiple threads on normal forums

"I'm being persecuted" - labels anyone who doesn't agree with them a "troll"

It's hilarious, no other forum on boards comes close
