LOL… Joe Rogan haha!
Yes, that DAJB. He is an older English blog ke with a grown son. A nice, friendly chap usually, but always had the potential to be seduced by the darkside. The signs were always there… Loved Thatcher, supported Brexit, the gamergate/comicsgate thing mentioned, loved that "Pie" comedian whatever he's called that pretends to be a pissed off news reader so he can say right wing stuff and make it sounds as if he's a frustrated journalist who just wants to "tell the truth" 🤣🤣🤣
Silly chap beloves we have concentration camps in Australia for unvaccinated people 😅
Ah well.

You do! I've seen the YouTube videos! It's like the FEMA camps in the US! And they're all connected by the supersonic underground railroad to the massive Deep Underground Military Bases.
No one can say I don't keep up with the conspiratorial thinkers. It's really funny when you discover exactly what old (as in 1970s-80s old) movie they copped their latest theory from. The secret tunnels creating booms and sounds people hear on the surface is actually from a couple of movies including one great popcorn pulp movie with the Chinese tunneling to the US. 🤣
John Birch Society. They were the ones who started up the fluoridated water mythology, that conspiratorial thinkers are still convincing people about over sixty years later.
Many of the conspiracy theories actually have their origins in far right writings done after WW2 by Neo-nazis who worshipped Hitler. Of course the myth of Hitler's survival was among these as well as the Neuschwaben Land Antarctica bases and Nazi saucers. The Soviets were behind the stories about the Nazis defeating an American attack in 1947 led by Admiral Byrd. Really interesting stuff that feeds back on itself with all kinds of disinformation from intelligence agencies (these guys will believe anything let's sell them this whopper!) To whistle blowers of dubious credentials trying to make a quick buck.
There's a sucker born every minute and these people will believe anything so long as it fits into their belief system, Facts, logic and evidence notwithstanding
And it's all so entertaining. 🤣🤣
I mined a lot of conspiracy theories for my stories. Belle's Best has them in abundance but subtly altered because this is the "truth" behind the stories.

You know the biggest lesson we need to take fro conspiracy thinkers?
It's that we're all vulnerable. No matter how smart, questioning, and clever you are, there's no vaccine against falling into that way of thinking.
I think we just have to be constantly vigilant to a degree and fact check some of our thinking.
But if we ever think we're immune to conspiracy- that's how you know you're probably a believer XD

This reminds me of Alex Jones back in the 2010's talking about chemicals in the water turning the freaking frogs gay:P If I'm not mistaken this comes from an old cycle of conspiracy theories back in the USA of the 1950's about the soviets putting chemicals in the americans drinking water, that was designed to brainwash them or to deteriarate their masculinty or something like that.
The same kind of conspiracy theories that inspired the amazing character that is the United States Air Force Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper in the black comedy film Dr Strangelove (1964). A man who after having sex with a woman experienced a sense of emptiness, from which he drew the brilliant conclusion that it was all because of a global communist conspiracy to sap and impuerify all of our precious bodily fluids, which is why he had to go ahead and nuke the russian motherland😂

Not to defend that clown Alex Jones, but he was talking about Atrazine.

Wow, I heard a bit of Adele's speach at the Brit awards (on a news headline). What a horrible speaking voice. I was shocked. She sounds like a 12 year old. How embarrassing. o_o
She's not alone though. Many singers have terrible speaking voices.

Have you not seen concert footage? The mockney banter is a huge part of her stage persona.
That's so sad about Russia invading Ukraine :(
After the weakness of Yeltzin and the damage he did to Russia they really needed a strong leader like Putin to rebuild them but he's a dinosaur now. Russia doesn't need him anymore. He's a relic… Russia is healthy and the world has moved well past his old car war ideas.
And now he's drawing his country into war to justify his existence. It's awful.
Ozoneocean wrote:In order for the czar to be strong – there must be war. War unites the people behind the czar in the crusade to save kindred Slavs from those who would oppress them. Putin is using the old Russian autocratic playbook. It's all scripted ahead and usually plays out the same. This is a 18th-19th century play that is out of place in today's world. But Russia has always liked to gobble up its neighbors and hard words don't always work.

So It looks like the next chapter of this horror show that is the 20s could be all out world war. I've been prepping for this for the past 4 months but now that it's here I'm a little freaked out. I'm a not so far from China over here.
All this "I stand with Ukraine" stuff has felt off to me and now I finally know why:
It's like when you get into a fight and all your friends are with you and they say they've got your back and encourage you and give you support… but when it comes to the actual fight they all back away.
You're facing this huge, angry person and you hear faint messages of support from people who are never going to step in an actually help you against that person.
And you just want to tell them to **** off.
…
That's what all this "I Stand with Ukraine" says to me.
None of these people stand with anything. They're just cheering from the sidelines. I don't expect them to go and fight, in fact that would be worse, but I also don't think that should be saying what they are.
If anything they should be saying that stand against Putin and that stand with the civilians of Ukraine instead of gleefully talking about war and nationalism and heroics while taking zero part in it.
Trump Inc. "Why Ukraine?"
Basically, Ukraine is loaded with private interests on both sides. Money has been taken, people have been sent to prison, Presidents have been ousted and impeached. This has been a long time coming.
Yeah, there's a lot of corruption and stupidity there. It goes back years… Like Putin's ambitions for Ukraine.
At the moment the pro Ukraine propaganda is crazy in all the news services but there's a lot of really dumb pro-Russian propaganda trying to paint civilian casualties in Ukraine as "false flag" operations. It's sad.
Aside from all the propaganda though it's pretty stark that Russia is absolutely in the wrong.

I've been looking at the Quail's Random list on the front page for comics to do a Friday Fashion Spotlight feature on and I came across a few that stopped updating in the 2010-2012 sort of period.
A lot of them had a message that went- "Thanks for the feature and all the support but I'm leaving because I don't like this site anymore, find me at "X", which is better…"
Ironically "X" is pretty much invariably a dead site because DD just kept going while those sites they left for died :(
(they left DD for dead but their alternative died instead)
