SO my cubemate wasn't actually being sarcastic

[Reginald Ret]

I still keep hoping the conspiracy theory I came up with catches on: the fluoride in the water powers the batteries in the transmitters in your fillings. I introduced a few places a while back, intending to see firsthand how these things spread. Sadly, it never caught on.

Let us know how it goes with your case study. Errr. Cubemate.

Won't work: Requires the understanding that transmitters need power to operate. Understanding not present in subjects.

You're totally not getting how this conspiracy thing works, dude. Scientific understanding is inserted in subjects, in highly selective (and often completely fictitious) doses.

It sounds to me like that step was skipped.

Personal favourite example of this:

When Jacques Vallee, a UFOlogist of a somewhat more sceptical and scientific bent than average, was being told about the Dulce underground base conspiracy, he listened politely for a minute about this supposed underground city/base jointly ruled by aliens and the US military and then asked, quite sensibly, "how do they dispose of waste?"  He pointed out a city of that size would create quite a level of disturbance on the surrounding environment, but no evidence for such disturbances could be produced.

And, as it later turned out, Dulce was a conspiracy theory being promoted by people within the US Air Force intelligence corps anyway.

That's one of those "so obvious it's brilliant" moments. 

I wish I was better at that sort of thinking when trolling FaceBook.

New in cubemate adventures: racism today is Jesse Jackson's fault.

[axod]

Two things.

One, I think we can leverage the waste disposal angle to support the existence of chemtrails.  No, it's not what you think.  Though still organic, the waste is not septic, rather, a measure of kerosine jettisoned before landing.

Two, if the fillings were considered relays instead of transmitters, then there are some devices that can be powered by the very same electromagnetic signal they transduce.

Conspiracy wins forever

Does Jesse Jackson even do anything anymore?  Shit, is he even still alive?

I prefer people who go on about Al Sharpton being responsible for racism though.  Because then you can point out he's actually an FBI informant and so really the US government invented racism.  And that can lead to some hilarious shit, let me tell you.

Although Jesse Jackson Jr is also a federal informant...

Oh he brought up Al Sharpton too, also Obama, but he's a birther so that's nothing new.

But he believes in ghosts.

Maybe we aren't.

Meanwhile, in Toronto, there were anti-chemtrail ads on the subways last year. Whoever paid for the ad space seems to have run out of money, though.
