From a friend on FB.
And people believe it.
The same people who defend everything Trump says about the virus or defend what he says because he's just "thinking out loud".
Sad times.
It's all a really strange groupthink. The scariest part is that I'm friends with people I'd otherwise consider fairly sharp that are really into this stuff. I had one start a convo about chemtrails with me about 3 years back. I went along and laughed, thinking he was being sarcastic, but after getting to know him better on a weeklong business trip, I surmised that he was dead effing serious. He's one of the ones pushing the Gates theories on my feed.
I guess you can choose to believe what you like. Questioning authority is a terrific thing to do. Unfortunately, the bar for grounds to question actual authority, like medical scientific authority has gotten pretty low lately. It used to be about having some evidence or research to back something up. Now it's just about not liking what someone's research seems to bear out, and making up a secret squirrel story about intelligence agents with Q clearance discreetly and vaguely leaking out the truth of the world we never knew, lol.
People are incredibly easy to mislead. It would be a lot of fun to start one of these theories just to see who would buy in and what exactly you could make them do to embarrass themselves. Hmmmmmm.
