Covid conspiracies / rants/ BS

Post by Jody »

Just thought we could have one thread to collect together all the BS we've seen from our 'friends' regarding covid.

Kinda inspired by a chat with a mate.

He was telling me of a friend of his that thinks it's all fake, no real danger, the vaccine is by Bill Gates etc etc

I replied about a friend of mine who thinks the same

a few minutes into the conversation we realised that BOTH our friends had been in trouble recently for using vehicles with no road tax...... it's almost like there's a type........

What's the best / worst you've heard ?

Covid has been another opportunity to thin out my acquaintance list, Brexit and Scottish independence were good ones too.

If that's all you post about, or have alarmingly strange opinions on, then off you go.

A guy I work with doesn’t believe in COVID, thinks it’s all a bit of a hoax, masks are a waste of time, won’t be getting the jab as it’s been rushed in, all the usual nonsense.

He’s been off work now for a couple of months with a “really bad chest infection”

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence though...

None of my actual friends are nutters - well not in that sense - except one, who I've known all my life and he had a spectacular fall from grace some years back when his wife buggered off and he hit the bottle/drugs/anything and became a hermit. He's properly gone mental, as in he has a diagnosis and medication.

He's gone the full turn, he thinks there is a satanic cult running America (and the world actually) and all these rap stars and suchlike have signed away their souls. He thinks covid is something to do with 5G and some sort of mind control thing that he keeps referencing but I can't remember what it's called.

He told me a story about how Lady Gaga got famous. Apparently she was an unknown doing gigs of cover songs and stuff and one evening in New York she was out the back having a fag in the interval (honestly) and the devil approached her and said he'd make her famous but she had to do some things (like sacrifices and stuff) and sign her soul over to him.
I said in my estimation then he'd gone right downhill, because if the prince of darkness has to skulk around back alleys begging shit singers to join his crew then he's wank. He actually started crying at that point.

On the one hand you could laugh, but on the other it's fucking tragic.
Did the wife leave because he was going mental, or did he go mental because the wife left ??

The prince of darkness is supposed to do mad trivial shit though - and I've not seen a better theory as to why Lady Gaga is popular.

I can see a tidal wave of nutbaggery coming,exacerbated by lockdown. Some already fragile souls will be pushed over the edge.

I wrote in another thread of my experiences with a chap I've known for a good while. He's turned into a proper manic street preacher,ranting and raving at all us misguided,gullible victims of Boris and his rich pals.

He can no longer go into a shop because he creates mayhem and is then asked to leave,so he waits outside while his wife gets the stuff to keep body and soul together.
I spoke to him outside and he was struggling to keep it together. He told me he doesn't go out much because his actions put him in direct confrontation with people. He apologises quietly for the ranting,then a switch flicks and he talks himself into a frenzy where he bawls at the top of his voice about the stupidity of the masses and how Covid is a load of fucking balls,wake up you parcel of cunts.....etc.

A couple of days ago he and his beleaguered missus were walking towards me on a narrow footpath,so I moved onto the road to give us all space. I'd have done that before Covid anyway,I don't make a woman walk on the road while I stay on a path.
This set him off on one and he ran out onto the road facing me shouting,'you're not walking on the fucking road to avoid me,I don't have any fucking disease'. The two of us ended up dancing in the middle of the road,him with his arms spread wide to stop me passing!

If this is just a little snapshot of his day dealing with other folk,he's going to get himself into trouble.

A slow motion,rolling train wreck. Very sad.

That's exactly how the devil works. He's everywhere. Like god. Doing small things. With Lady Gaga. :eh:

The mountains told me. Huge grey-green monsters, grappling with the black Satan-like demons of the cliffs and crags. I could hear the sheep talking and the grass reciting poetry. Then Jesus spoke directly to me, through the radio in my head.

He tried that shit with me,whispering in my ear and suggesting I visit ebay and purchase a retro Honda traily.

I told him to fuck right off and I rushed out and bought a big Z,then immediately got the wheel up. That told him. 8-)

I reckon he went whispering the same suggestion in someone else's ear. ;)

TBH I quite like the idea of Satan doing quite minor but really annoying shit, it shows maximum effect for minimum effort.

There's a Sci Fi story called "Wasp" which I'll just give the main idea of from Wiki...

"The title of Wasp comes from the idea that the main character's actions and central purpose mimic that particular insect; just as something as small as a wasp can terrorise a much larger creature in control of a car to the point of causing a crash and killing the occupants, so the defeat of an enemy may be wrought via psychological and guerrilla warfare by a small, but deadly, protagonist in their midst."


The story isn't actually that brilliant but I just liked the idea of it.

What do you mean, conspiracy/rant/BS? Do you mean this bat flu shit?

The reality is that Covid is a myth, the illness that is killing people is caused by 5G radiation, and the "vaccine" is a clever way they (the Lizard people who really control our lives) have found to inject us all with a chip that can track us and control our mind. Boris and co know some of this of course, but play along with it so that they can take away out liberty and at the same time make loads of money via their mates with contracts for PPE.

I spent some time talking about a business opportunity with someone today. She's obviously pretty intelligent and has made a success of her businesses over the years. But she kept dropping into conversation "faux-covid" and "it's just flu"

Now, I did have the 'it's just flu' attitude at the start - until young Jody and I had a good chat about it and I understood a bit more! After over a year, I just can't see that govts would shut down countries on a false claim!!

So, whilst I do think Florence is a lovely lady, she's ever so slightly batshit crazy too!! :lol: (her and her partner of them do live in an apartment slightly bigger than mine - but with four cats and a dog!! LOL)

I'm not sure if this, from Germany, qualifies as conspiracy. There's a bit of anti-vaxxing at the end so maybe it qualifies as a rant.

'Statistics' just don't really work with big numbers though. Especially when these statistics represent actual people.

So all we're really seeing here is a video made by folk with zero empathy who were just lucky not to be represented by a molecule of paint on their shitty pole.
