So Dutch #conspiracy Threads is uh, it's a wild ride. This person thinks #ipv6 is a WEF conspiracy for planned obsolescence and surveillance? I asked them and they assured me that this was not satire.
Prevention is better than cure: Addressing #AntiVaccine#conspiracy theories - Jolley - 2017 - Journal of Applied Social Psychology - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jasp.12453 “In both studies, anti-conspiracy arguments increased intentions to #vaccinate a fictional child but only when presented prior to conspiracy theories. This effect was mediated by belief in anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and the perception that vaccines are dangerous. (1/2)
There is no #conspiracy as to why it’s being withdrawn- it’s just outdated now and we have better, newer vaccines that are more effective for the current versions and strains in circulation.
Boeing really shot themselves in the foot: their reckless attitude toward quality might sink the company, and there may be criminal charges over failing to adhere to quality and documentation procedures that were instituted as part of a settlement and deferred prosecution agreement after similar corner-cutting caused... checks notes ...two fatal crashes, one in 2018 and one in 2019.
I love these unhinged #conspiracy stickers that are borderline gibberish. Is this satire? Or is it a wild advertisement campaign? Is the creator ok? A little bit of googling reveals this about it, for those interested:
I've seen folks on the Cross site say it's a "one in a trillion coincidence" that the sizes match up.
And this, which is close to correct, give or take some orbital wobble / fuzziness in measuring the sun's diameter, etc.
So... huge coincidence, or hack copy and paste job by some intergalactic junior artist? I guess we'll find out when they switch the simulation off...
China’s Advancing Efforts to Influence the U.S. Election Raise Alarms.
Chinese Trolls Pretend to Be Psycho Magas.
China has adopted some of the same #misinformation tactics that Russia used ahead of the 2016 election, researchers and government officials say.
Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of criminal defendant Donald, promoting #conspiracy theories, stoking #domestic divisions and attacking President #Biden ahead of the #election in November, according to researchers and government officials.
The accounts signal a potential tactical shift in how Beijing aims to hijack American politics, with more of a willingness to target specific candidates & parties, including Mr. Biden.
In an echo of Russia’s influence campaign before the 2016 election, China is trying to harness partisan divisions to undermine the Biden administration’s policies, despite recent efforts by the two countries to lower the temperature in their relations.
Some of the Chinese accounts impersonate fervent Trump fans, including one that purported to be “a father, husband & son” who was “MAGA all the way!” The accounts mocked Mr. Biden’s age & shared fake images of him or claimed that Mr. Biden was a Satanist pedophile while promoting Trump’s maga bs.
Ms. Thomas &researchers have linked the new activity to a long-running network of accounts connected with the Chinese government known as #Spamouflage. Several of the accounts they detailed previously posted pro-Beijing content in Mandarin —only to resurface in recent months under the guise of real Americans writing in English.
Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as Americans promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions, attacking President Biden ahead of the election.
"China now appears to be building a network of accounts across many platforms to put to use in November. 'This is reminiscent of Russia’s style of operations, but the difference is more the intensity of this operation.'"

Dear Xi & CCP, Your system of oppression, fear and violence show the weakness of corrupted communism. You suck and commie china sucks as well. Fuck off.
China Denigrating democracy and stoking anti-American sentiment.
In the 2022 midterm elections, cybersecurity firm Mandiant reported that Dragonbridge, a China influence campaign, tried to discourage #Americans from #voting while highlighting U.S. political polarization. That campaign, which experimented with fake American personas posting content in the first person, was poorly executed and largely overlooked online, researchers said.
The recent campaigns connected to China have sought to exploit the divisions already apparent in American politics, joining the divisive debate over issues such as gay rights, immigration & crime mainly from a right-wing perspective.
CCP push Russian TV controlled by the Kremlin, to claim that Mr. Biden and the Central Intelligence Agency had sent gangsters to fight in Ukraine. (Narrative was debunked by Bellingcat.)
Oath Keepers: Stewart Rhodes, the leader of republican Oath Keepers militia, was convicted of Seditious Conspiracy with one of his subordinates. They were found guilty of seeking to keep criminal defendant in power through a plot that started after the 2020 election & culminated in the mob attack on the Capitol. Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett, David Moerschel & Edward Vallejo, all members of the Oath Keepers, were also convicted of Seditious Conspiracy.
Proud Boys: Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, and Zachary Rehl, members of the criminal gang Proud Boy, were found guilty of #Seditious#Conspiracy in connection with the #January6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Lev Parnas testified allegations against Bidens are false & 'spread by the Kremlin'
Republicans are "pushing the same Russian narrative & propaganda"
“The American people have been lied to, by Donald Trump, Giuliani, & republicans, they created falsehoods to serve their own interests knowing it would undermine the strength of our nation."
Parnas called out Trump allies in Congress Devin Nunes, Ron Johnson, as well as right-wing media figures for spreading misinformation about the Bidens. “Pete Sessions, Devin Nunes, Ron Johnson understood they were pushing a FALSE narrative, same goes for John Solomon, Sean Hannity & Fox who use false narratives to manipulate the public ahead of 2020 elections. Sadly, they are still doing this today as we approach the 2024 elections.”
"The only information ever pushed on the Bidens has come from one source & one source only: RUSSIA & Russian agents, impeachment proceedings against Biden were "predicated on a bunch of false information that is being spread by the Kremlin."
Parnas: "The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents. The impeachment proceedings that bring us here now are predicated on #false#information spread by the Kremlin."
Last year, a federal Judge issue a search warrant based on probable cause that there was #evidence of a #crime in his twitter account.
Qelon and twitter were sanctioned for noncompliance with a search warrant from #DoJ Special Counsel for #Trump's Twitter account. To get it, #DoJ demonstrated probable cause that the account would evidence criminality; i.e. #January6#violent#insurrection#coup#conspiracy DMs with criminal conspirators.
Hmmm.... its like a scene from a conspiracy thriller:
Whisteblower takes his own life during a lawsuit against large corporation.
In the film, the initially presumed suicide would be revealed to have been staged & carried out the day before he was to give explosive new evidence about his erstwhile employer.
But this isn't a film its really life & no-one can imagine a large US firm employing people to rid them of a 'turbulent' witness, can they?
@ChrisMayLA6 I’m not one for the tinfoil hat. But US companies will do a lot for $50b, including aggressively making life as difficult as possible for whistleblowers.
I suspect a number of airlines are generally relieved that they now have a cast-iron excuse to not do business with Boeing, and can tear up existing contracts under force majeure / misrepresentation clauses. (or being the US, they’ll probably start suing Boeing for concomitant losses as well)
NEW: #DoJ Has Indicted Two Russian Nationals Currently in the Midst of a Massive #Criminal#Conspiracy to Steal the 2024 Presidential Election for Trump—Which Is Exactly What Trump Was Looking For When He Told Russia It Could Invade Virtually Any European Nation It Wants To; Alliance Between GOP and Kremlin to End American Democracy Now Indisputable.
