... she listens to Alex Jones religiously. She claims the stock market has dropped 1000 points in the last 5 minutes... anyone know anything about this?
I don't want to get my news from this woman.
It's down over 300 points for today, but its not that rapid or that big.

QuoteThe Dow plunged Thursday amid buzz in the market that European banks have halted lending.
One trader, on the condition of anonymity, said he heard fixed income desks in Europe shut down early because there was no liquidity — basically European banks are halting lending right now.
"This is similar to what took place pre-Lehman Brothers," the trader said.
The Dow was down more than 900 points at one point, or more than 8 percent, before pulling back to the 600-700 point range.
If it is the end of civilization, I don't want to have heard about it starting from a woman who believes Nazis have bases inside the hollow Earth... goddamit.
Heh. There was a pretty sizable rebound.

They are now blaming most of it on some weird discrepancies with Proctor & Gamble's stock between 2 and 3 PM. I've seen some conspiracy theories but nothing solid yet. It looks like one of those weird ass glitches in the programmed trading that got out of control but no one knows what caused it yet. Damn, I wish Cain was still around to comment on things like this.

Thats the reason for Europes plummeting currency and market instability, could the knock on be that strong? I suppose it could.
I heard on the news that some trader was trying to sell a million shares of P&G, but put in an order for 1,000,000,000.

I'm quite honestly ready to strangle this woman.
How shall I fuck with her?
Take a few of those conspiracy - esque diseases, and attirbute common, plauible symptoms to them. Her brain will do the rest to itself.
Make up a plausible conspiracy. Feed it to her, then add a twist, like proving Glen Beck or Sean Hannity are actually covert liberals.

doesn't Morgellon's already have a gigantic list of symptoms associated with it?
Oh, that's a good one. Cruel, but good.
You'll need itching powder, some fine threads. Strategic and judicial placement of both could result in complete batshittery.
Better still if she has any plantar warts, since they generate some gnarly subcutaneous fibers anyways.
Also, a small noise box for her very own "Taos Hum"?
Incidentally, why the hell is a woman like that working at an internet porn site, anyway?

Just another idea: Cointelpro. Like the disease idea, use what she already 'knows,' tell some truth, and then lie.
One way you could take this - Mention that you're looking at cold war government infiltration of international teachers unions. If she doesn't bring up American civil rights' era infiltration of activist groups in an attempt to educate you, then you have to do it. Step three is talking about a recent shock-horror revelation that this shit still happens (ex. the agent provocateur situation at Montebello a few years back).
Follow with the obvious: independent alternative media is the current target. The following sites have been fed disinformation for at least 5 years, and the levels of corruption go "all the way to the top": the now defunct guerrilla news network (which is the really real reason the owners shut it down), Alex Jones, etc. Stories proving this are currently being "scrubbed from the internet."
It's a slow build with no immediate satisfaction (unless she does steps 2 and 3 for you, which is likely), but it could make a dent in that mindless blind faith she's got going on. Remember to dislocate your rational brain – All of these things are part of *the same project* (this is key) which has been going on for at least 100 years.
I probably should have mentioned that I am her boss, so I probably shouldn't be sprinkling itching powder on her or anything like that, though I don't mind toying with her mind a little... which is probably worse, but harder to prove.

Internet porn attracts all types. And, the kicker is I hired her myself. She seemed like a sweet 50-ish woman who listens to Kurt Vonngut books on her cd-walkman. She sort of melted my heart, and she's a fucking ripping photoshopper. But, apparently, nuts.
Nurse Rhizome, I am going to try some of that stuff out...
Ok, I'm more confused that someone can like both Uncle Kurt and Alex Jones, now.

She mentions "my brother says this" and "my brother says that"... when I explained this morning about the PG thing related to the drop in the stock market yesterday, she said "my brother says that's the cover story". So, I think she has someone feeding her this shit and she doesn't have the critical faculties to say "hmm, maybe this is bullshit."
I did explain the Law of Fives to her yesterday though, and gently added a little bit about "what the thinker thinks, the prover proves". It's going to be a long-term project I think.

I said something offhand one day about "people who think that Nazis have bases inside the hollow earth" and she said, in a hushed tone... "well, there's a lot of evidence to back that up." which absolutely gobsmacked me. I said "Is there? Where?" she said "I'll bring the book in." which she hasn't. Yet.
But, I turned it around on her. I said "Well, certainly the earth is hollow, but it's not like most people think... Have you heard of Cyrus Teed?"
She hadn't. Of course. Conspiracy wingnuts never find the really good bonkers theories.
So, I explained how Cyrus Teed believed that the earth was hollow and that we actually lived on the INSIDE surface of the earth, and that the Sun is artificial and the stars are reflected distortions of the artificial sun, and the rest of the entire universe is solid rock. She thought I was out to lunch, so I felt smug.

See if you can get her to go with the Chavez "US has an Earthquake Ray" idea.

She does. She thinks its HAARP. She thinks HAARP can do everything.
Oh, sweet.
Ok, using a combination of HAARP, EMP, and "quantum", sell her on parallel universes.

I like Vlad's idea. Get her to explain herself in as much detail as you can stomach. Perhaps if she talks long enough, she might appreciate how fucked her ideas are?
"So yeah, the Nazis have like totally built this base inside the hollow Earth cuz, you know, Hitler didn't really take his own life in the bunker. They managed to get him into Argentina for a while. Of course, he's dead now but that wasn't until the early 60s, about the time the CIA bumped off Kennedy...but yeah, so Hitler & other senior Nazis survived the war and went into hiding long enough to implement their hollow Earth base plans. There's like 3 million Jews unaccounted for and they're all digging out the dirt and then let it float up off the coast of Hawaii cuz it's not really volcanic activity, it's actually Jewish slaves under ground, digging out the Nazi base.....and.....uhh..... :kingmeh:.....ohhh...right...I see what you're saying now, Boss...."
