Ah we have to flatten the curve, protect granny, defend the hospitals, have a circuit breaker or whatever other horse shit reason to avoid admitting that lockdowns are a waste of time,

Apparently reduced bus service for 6 weeks, seems strange unless they know something that’s not public knowledge.

Think Covid is public knowledge and maybe they know they are unlikely to have enough bus drivers to run a full service?

My question would be if Covid fizzles out in 2022 what are all the Covid conspiracy fanboys going to do to fill that empty void in their lives ?

Well I can only speak for myself, but nothing will change for this unvaccinated man, I’ve been livening life as normal, now the covid true believers on their forth vaccine, they will have some serious thinking to do as to how they fell down the covid rabbit hole.

Except for the obvious terror you live your life in, that everything and everyone is out to get you. A 'full time victim", it's a common theme with tinfoilers.

I guess they are at a loss these days as there are very few conspiracy theories that have not yet been shown to be factual.

That would, I expect, leave a bit of a hole.

Maybe they will think of a few new ones and we can all wait and see if they prove true also?

The conspiraies coming out of the covid pandemic I find are mostly bollox. I get 7 or 8 WhatsApps a day from a friend of mine and the stuff I'm looking at is mostly amateurish rubbish. I do read up on conspiracies as sometimes there can be a bit of truth in them / entertaining but the covid stuff is just downright ridiculous. I guess its so easy now to put something out on social media and with the right followers it just grows and gains credibility because its shared by so many and a couple of endorsements by big influencers / internet personalities people think its fact. Wrap it up into a WhatsApp/ tiktok video, add some music and present the right images with a coherent narrator that's half the job done.

The problem is rather than people doing their own research and back tracking sources using Google tools they just blindly forward it on and it multiplies. People have too much trust in people on the Internet and not investigating political agendas or product endorsement money making schemes that come with the lies.

In fairness to you Purisle, I enjoy what you put post in the covid ward as at least you'll discuss the merits or not of a particular theory. I'm referring to the quick fire people like I described my friend that I'm on about.

There is the oldest repository of redacted / declassified / leaked documents on the interwebs if you want to get your teeth into some real meaty truths. The owners of the site have been persecuted for decades by the US government and ddosed / hacked multiple times by intelligence services over the years but they are still running.

Happy 2022 and hopefully when Mr Samson checks back in 2023 covid will just have been a bad dream and we can all get back to discussing pints, the shite weather and Jonjo's new youtube shopping channel.

The best conspiracy I’ve heard so far about covid and the lockdown is to do with the increase in money supply, rampant inflation is coming. 40 % of all the US dollars that have ever existed where printed in 2021, let that sink in , EU and UK printed like crazy also.
Now you might know about money supply but do you know about the velocity of money? The rate that it’s spent.
Those in the golden circle “Blackrock hedge fund” are spending money at a crazy rate and buying up property well about the asking price, billionaires are moving out of cash and into assets.
The lock down is to keep is plebs at home saving and not spending money, when the elite have moved lock stock and barrel into hard assets the powers that be we end covid , the public will spend their savings and Zimbabwean inflation will be here.
See Germany after ww1 for exactly this scenario.

Inflation is on the rise everywhere, and alot of people have increased their wealth substantially ( those with millions )

This pandemic has affected ordinary people disproportionately in my opinion.

I would have phrased your last sentence as see Germany before the onset of the rise in nationalism and the start of world war two.

Could a new world war break out ? We have the makings of one currently in Ukraine.

Thankfully I have never used WhatsApp, Twitter or Facebook, so I have been spared what you describe.
I do get to see a few tweets or whatever when they are passed to me, but am not overrun or anything close.
I guess I must be remembering different conspiracies than what you had in mind. ;)

Unfortunately I have found that with MSM refusing to provide two sides or any debate on governments reactions to the Sars-2 virus, I am left with no choice if I want to access information not provided by MSM but to read, what most of us would regard as 'dodgy'biased' sites.
It can be very difficult to sift through all that shyte to find the truth or at least a reasonable argument one can consider.

I am more glad every day that I have not yet taken 'the jab', as more and more unwelcome information is brought out.
Maybe if they miraculously invent an actual vaccine that prevents infection from a SARS virus we can all take it in comfort and security.
I doubt I will take it while it is still in trial though, regardless what the politicians of the day or their lackies might say. I would want huge compensation to join any medical trial.

Everything needs to questioned PureIsle, if you choose not to get the jab that's your choice. And people should respect that choice. That friend of mine that sends out the whatsapps, he is vehemently opposed to the vaccine but its got in abit on him. He was up in the local 3 weeks ago with a fake vaccine passport getting a few pints and a neighbour went up and reported him to the barman. I'm vaccinated by the way, but I've been abusing my body for years so I don't give a fck. Anyway he was telling me this and it made me mad as I know the individual as well but this man often gave this informer work etc when he couldn't get work. At the end of the day the unvaccinated lad was taking more of a risk than the vaccinated fella at the bar, that went up and complained to the barman because he didn't feel safe with the unclean as I keep on slagging him off as. He in turn will say that I'll drop dead sometime over it but if that happens I won't even realise it but he'll be still sitting in the smoking section outside the pub 😀

The whole Trump / Biden supporters thing I found interesting during the pandemic. I'll hang my colours to the mast as again I don't give a fck.

Trump to me is a selfish cnt. He doesn't give a fiddlers about anyone but himself and his close circle of family and friends. Friends that he'd throw under the bus without a second thought. But one thing about him is that he didn't start any new armed conflicts around the world during his tenancy. I will give him kudos on that. But he had a big part in alienating people and stoking trouble in his own country. To me the people that support him mean nothing to him other than a tool to use when he needs to deflect or drum up support for his polical career. Trump looks after number 1 and everything else is for the cameras.

Biden to me is a war monger, always has been. He lobbied during the Bush administration for operation Endurance / Freedom ? Can't remember which. That's why I think he is way more dangerous than Trump from a foreign policy perspective. To me he's the state department's perfect boy to have in the Whitehouse.

I have no time for neither.

How many republicans are now in place around the world on social media platforms since the pandemic started to now take up and add support, to any future foreign policy objectives that may come into being from the US state department ? No need for too much propaganda now that people from all over the globe are now sucked in to the far right narrative, whether they know it or not.

Not to exclude the lovely Democrats from this type of thing as we've seen with Obama and Clinton.

As for Bernie Sanders,, he lost all credibility when he threw in his support for Hillary in the last election. A complete waste of space.

THE WW1 template is up and running, Germany printed Marks to fight the war, it did not cause inflation as the public where saving their money and not spending in case things whet bad. The circulation of money in Germany was low(velocity of currency), money needs to be spent in order for the money to reflect the currency supply.
The war ends, the public now start spending the money they have saved up, so it was only after the war the prices began to reflect the supply of money in circulation, with all this money now been spent inflation grew very fast, then came the death blow to the Mark, Germany had to pay war reparations , so they turned on the printers, Hyperinflation had arrived.
Today we can see the elite are moving out of cash and into hard assets, (Hedge Funds buying up property world wide and paying over the odds, billionaires buying massive ranches and land) by keeping the public in a state of Covid fear we are not spending money and keeping the velocity down and hyperinflation is delayed until the elite dispose of their cash, only then will covid end, the public spend and the fat lady sings, and that day draws closer as we all know inflation is here and rising, we can see it in our everyday shopping cost rising .

Its worse than i thought, the following is from May 2021, so plenty more printing since then.

War is a real possibility, once Hyperinflation kicks in people will lose their savings and life will become very hard to say the least, people will lash out and want something done, they will want those who cause it brought to justice, and that would be the politicians for printing trillions, with money worthless, the police wont exactly be rushing to put themselves in harms way to protect politicians, so as history has showed we could see them hanging from streetlights, so how do these sons of bitches politicians save their own necks, well give the public a scapegoat to get angry with, you can see this will be China, they are going to blame it all on China, "the economy was going great , until the CCP virus messed it up, they are to blame for all our financial woes" unfortunately it will probably work and the public will believe this and instead of hanging politicians they will be burning down the local Chinese take-away as the west goes to war with China.
Russia is a distraction in my opinion, they would be in the Bay of Biscay in a month if they invaded Europe and nothing other than a nuclear exchange would stop them, so China it is , same playbook as WW2 used on Japan, starve them of Oil and food imports, block the sea routes
, when things get desperate China will go on the offensive, the west will claim the moral high ground, "China attacked first" and then we are off to the races.

Today I made by first visit to a pub, or in this case a cafe, since February 2020. I can't say after the first few months of withdrawal symptoms that I have missed them and it was only out of politeness to two friends that I crossed the threshold today. It will be quite some time before I take the plunge again.
