Coming in third, Bigfoot. Think of those poor cows!

Just edging out our favorite woodland creature, Loch Ness Monster. What a great way to drive tourism to an inherently dull area.

But my new number one, by a country mile, where they are all recharging on powerlines, is BIRDS AREN'T REAL. Get out of the way chemtrails, we don't need that crazy talk in here.

What about Justin Trudeau is Fidel castros son?

Did that make the list?

**highangle** · 02-06-2022, 08:45 AM

How about the one where Trump doesn't work for Putin?

Pizza anyone?

Huh. Thought for sure cumshot would list his favorites - chemtrails & 9/11 was an inside job.

Bigfoot and Loch Ness are not conspiracy theories by definition…

None of the things Cum Shot listed are conspiracy theories. Birds Aren’t Real is satire

Not surprising considering he doesn’t know what censorship is.

BAR is a parody of a conspiracy theory. To his credit, McIndoe didn't break character for the first few years - making it that much funnier - but once he started getting real national attention he actually came clean for a minute to highlight how absurd our post-truth/post-fact world has become.

Righttt. That election was stolen by Trump and Russia, but don't dare talk about the 2020 election.

Is that why Putin waited until now to set off a global war? Wouldn't it have been easier for Putin under puppet Trump?

First page and it already belongs in PolyAss.

This morning in the NYT. A butterfly preserve shuts down to keep its employees safe because conservative morons are easily swayed to believing outlandish bullshit. Employees believe they will act on the outlandish claims and do something dangerous.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/06/u...ter-texas.html

MISSION, Texas — For nearly two decades, the National Butterfly Center has provided a place of wonder along the banks of the Rio Grande, attracting curious visitors and nature enthusiasts from around the country to watch delicate creatures like the xami hairstreak float over flowers and alight on logs.

Among those who trade in outlandish right-wing conspiracies online, though, the center is said to be something else: a cover for human smuggling, sex trafficking and the exploitation of children. The lies have spread so widely in recent years that the center is now receiving visitors with no interest in butterflies at all.

Last month, a Republican congressional candidate from Virginia came to the center looking for a site of human smugglers and had a physical altercation with its director. Days later, a man from an upstart media organization associated with Steve Bannon recorded a video outside the center’s gates, claiming “credible threats of the cartels trafficking children through the butterfly center.” To make his point, he held up a tiny shoe.

On Wednesday, as butterflies fluttered across winter-browned grasses, frenzied staff members packed files, fielded messages from saddened supporters and hung a sign on the gate: “Closed until further notice.” Nearby, a newly installed police guard tower flashed red and blue.

The Center was targeted with lies because they refused to sell out to the big beautiful wall.

One post and you are a TRG expert who understands the vagaries of PolyAss?

Sort of smells of “alias created to troll”…or “banned already”

**Antiviral** · 02-06-2022, 10:56 AM

(very) long time lurker. Had to join recently to stop the destruction of this great place.

**Ted Striker** · 02-06-2022, 10:59 AM

“Antiviral” huh? Shouldn’t you be only posting in PA anyway?
I’m guessing “banned more than once”…

Nice troll bait post! They're all gonna be here pretty soon.

**Core Shot** · 02-06-2022, 05:47 PM

I blame Leonard Nimoy.

Yes.

Spock.

Decades ago before the interwebs he had this ridiculous broadcast tv show.

He didn’t go flat earth. That wasn’t a thing. Yet.

But he went Loch Ness and Bigfoot and other crazy shit.

Long before tinfoil was used as a hat.

Analysis is useless without citing the flash point of tin.

That’s the biggest problem.

Tinfoil hats are not really tin. Most seem to be aluminum.

There’s a conspiracy for Adirondick. Why is aluminum foil called tin foil?

Too simple: it's all because Big Brainwave wants to discredit their use. The slight of hand also gets a lot of people to forget that aluminum has a lower flash point and that's how they get you.
