So the US planned for all these countries to want to out of Europe, so that they will want to no longer be countries but instead become just states within the nation of Europe? :confused:

If it made sense, it wouldn't be a conspiracy theory.

I remember talking to a guy who was convinced that Bush let the Muslims put Obama "on the throne" in exchange for... Bush not nuking the Middle East. :geno:

His theory was that these newly seceded states would be controlled by the German/US NWO puppetmasters and would use their influence in the EU to forward their evil agenda while the large states who were seceded from (mainly the UK and Spain) or weakened through decentralization (France) wouldn't be strong enough to resist them. Just what the evil agenda the Germans and Americans are working towards he didn't say.

e: He also claimed that modern versions of languages like Catalan, Corsican and Breton were artificially created at various points in the 20th century by these NWO puppetmasters and have exactly no relation to the "real" versions that were spoken in the past. The guy was really crazy and really adamant about it.

Maybe you shouldn't directly link someone's Facebook profile, regardless of their opinions?

That being said, holy poo poo I don't think I've seen anyone so obsessed with circumcision in my life, and at the same time getting so much information about it wrong.

Yeah, it's not hidden, but it's still her profile you've linked directly for strangers to view and mock. Plus with there being pictures of her kid in there, it's kinda creepy.

If you're targeting one person's stupidity, it's generally a good idea to hide who they are. Public pages with lots of idiots commenting are OK to leave uncensored.

Then she should change her drat settings to private. She's clearly not too concerned about keeping her opinions to herself. Apparently she only created this new profile in January because she keeps getting banned from groups she's spamming with her bullshit. But whatever, I'll delete it anyway. Feel free to go to the GBS thread for a link.

There's something I've been wondering with regards to conspiracy theories: to the people that believe in them, why do they ultimately matter? Like, what is the expected end result of viewing and spreading their insane rantings? If these bizarre claims were true, like 9/11 being a cover-up or Big Pharma holding back a cancer cure, do they seriously think they can do something about it?

I think this must be the first time in 4 years living here that I've felt part of something Dutch, because poo poo like this makes me super angry. This is a tiny country and everyone I know knows someone directly or indirectly who died in that crash. Even one of the managers at my boyfriend's work and his entire family were killed. Pisses me off to see people claim it didn't happen, but then what can you expect from the same people who claimed Sandy Hook was a hoax and all the grieving parents were actors.

So, this chick has another Facebook account that she actually linked on one of her posts. They're both active and equally nutso, really weird. Anyway, she posted a link to an article in a local paper about her being anti-vax. Why am I not surprised?

I just can't keep from going further down this rabbit hole...

HAHA a helpful Note on her Facebook. For context, she bashes religion regularly:

"Example of religious vaccine exemption letter.

I figured I would just make a note of this because I get asked often for the letter I used for my children. "Religious" exemption does not mean you have to be religious.

RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION FOR_______________
At this time we are choosing to exercise our rights under the US Supreme court to obtain a religious exemption for our daughter ____________ regarding vaccinations.

Really wish I hadn't seen that woman's fb. What a disgusting bag of poo poo. This has to be the first person I've seen who is vehemently against circumcision and then goes out of her way to mock cut guys who, by and large, were babies when the procedure was done and had no control over it. I mean seriously, "stubby"? Just an all around piece of poo poo.

And what's her reason for being glad the AIDs researchers died? It's not a homophobia thing, because at one point she referenced having a rainbow flag outside of her apartment.

Edit: Oh, I bet it's some AIDs researchers = Inventors of AIDs or some conspiracy crap.
