Death Of A MAGA-ite

Graham is dead…..replacement found….flags at half mast…..now it is time for the crazies to come out and play….

Let the conspiracy theories fly…..

Conspiracy chatter moved almost as fast as the tributes. Within hours of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death, social media feeds filled with claims he’d been poisoned, targeted by foreign enemies, or killed overseas—theories advanced without evidence but amplified by algorithms and partisan influencers, reports the Washington Post. Officially, preliminary findings from the DC medical examiner point to an aortic dissection; authorities have not suggested foul play, and a death certificate is pending. The same mistrust hit the release of a hospital photo of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, which some users insisted was AI-generated or old, despite metadata and a digital forensics review indicating otherwise. A look at the Graham chatter:

  • Far-right activist Laura Loomer: “Was he poisoned by a foreign adversary either abroad or upon returning to the US?” she posted on X. “It’s not like I’m just making random claims,” Loomer told the Post. “I don’t understand why everybody wants to call it a conspiracy. I think there is more than enough evidence there for probable cause.” Of the McConnell photo, however, she posted: “Why does the text on the newspaper McConnell’s staff claim he’s holding look AI generated?”
  • Ex-congressman George Santos: “I believe foul play could have been at play here.”
  • Making things worse: The swirl only intensified when FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X that “the FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available.”
  • One popular post: “Graham inspected a drone factory in Ukraine yesterday,” read the LibertyLockPod post on X, per the AP. “Russia blew up that facility today. Then, tonight, it is announced that Graham is dead of a ‘sudden illness.’ No more details. I’d say there is a decent chance that Russia blew up Lindsey Graham.”
  • Even Russian media: A tabloid ran an article headlined, “The Kiss of Death: Senator Graham’s Death Linked to Zelensky,” claiming that the death of Graham, who fervently supported Ukraine, was tied to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky.
  • From Senate Majority Leader John Thune: “There’s so much noise in the world today.” He continued: “I hope that people can calm down and just mourn the loss.”
  • From President Trump: Asked about conspiracies in an interview, he said: Asked during a Newsmax interview Monday night about Graham’s cause of death, Trump said: “To answer the conspiracy theory out there, I, I’d love to say yes. But I think he he had some problems. His father died just about at the same age,” said Trump, adding that Graham had “some problems that were a little bit deep-seated and not easy to find.”

I love this stuff….every idiot with half a brain has an idea and a theory.

Aliens…..and More…..

Since the release of the so-called UFO documents there has been a wealth of alien stories…..the conspiracists have come out of the woodwork.

This post is for me to cleanse all this bullshit out of my brain so I can go on with real stuff….sorry for the diversion…..

The United States government’s recent release of hundreds of previously classified Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) cases spanning the 1940s to the present, along with the new Steven Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day, about extraterrestrial life, has fuelled the idea that aliens are visiting Earth.

In fact, polls in Australia, the US and elsewhere indicate around a third of the public believes aliens are here.

However, while what we know about the universe suggests aliens may exist, there are three compelling reasons why they probably aren’t visiting us.

The CIA and a message from space…..

A third batch of UFO files was released by the Pentagon on Friday morning.

The document drop included recorded NASA briefings after Apollo 16, which referred to an ‘alien starbase’ on the dark side of the moon. The comments were not included in the official transcript from the 1972 mission.

Among the most bizarre releases was a 1958 CIA memorandum discussing a phone conversation with a scientist regarding concerns about a destroyed ‘space message and its transmitter.’

https://www.dailymail.com/sciencetech/article-15895169/ufo-files-trump-pentagon-release-space.html

The ‘first contact’ rules are now on the books…..

The moment of first contact with extraterrestrials is a staple of science fiction. It usually involves a frantic scientist having a Eureka moment, realising in a single dramatic instant that Earth is being visited by creatures from light-years away.

Aliens are in the public consciousness once again thanks to Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Disclosure Day, which follows a whistleblower’s attempts to reveal extraterrestrial visitations to the world.

In reality, the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence is far more likely to emerge as a faint anomaly in astronomical data, followed by a slow, painstaking process of verification, peer review and intense international deliberation. There might be no single Eureka moment, and no lone scientist with the answer.

As our telescopes have advanced, so too has the complexity of the world we live in. That is why a committee of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) has just voted to accept a major overhaul of the “post-detection protocols” – the scientific code of conduct for what happens after we find evidence of life beyond Earth.

An exclusive….or so they would have people believe….

The latest release of shocking top secret Pentagon UFO files – after being buried for more than 40 years – reveal a string of terrifying encounters with extraterrestrials, including a perilous dogfight between 13 Russian-made military jets and a spacecraft with capabilities far beyond human comprehension.

The 338-page report was first sought in 1980 but remained classified as our own National Security Agency officials battled tooth and nail to delay its release for decades. RadarOnline.com can reveal the files were finally made public in May – and sources said more frightening details are to come.

Missing Scientists

Today is Star Wars Day….May the Fourth be with you.

In that vane I would like to tackle those missing scientists.

By now everyone has at least heard the stories of all those missing scientists….the problem is there is no common denominator for their disappearance or death….or is there?

It sounds like the plot for an episode of The X-Files: at least 10 scientists – and counting – who all supposedly had access to sensitive US government research are dead or missing under mysterious circumstances.

Four worked for Nasa; three of them were even on the same team. Two had worked together at the same national laboratory in New Mexico. Another – a former senior air force research engineer who left his home on Feb 27 and hasn’t been seen since – had been involved in UFO research after his retirement.

The nature of the researchers’ work – which spans nuclear science, astrophysics and aeronautics – has led to speculation in recent weeks that they might all be connected.

Conspiracy theories abound, mostly online, about the possible links between the cases, while others suggest it is a coincidence.

“We’re going to look for connections,” Kash Patel, the FBI director, conceded in an interview with Fox News, noting that the FBI would be looking at the scientists’ “access to classified information” and “foreign actors”.

“If there’s any connection that leads to nefarious conduct or conspiracy, this FBI will make the appropriate arrest,” he said.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026/05/03/missing-dead-scientists-nasa-research/

Sorry but I would not trust that lush Patel with anything much less investigating these events.

I am sure by now everyone knows that there will be some sort of conspiracy to grow up around these incidents…..

First the project’s biggest funder died preposterously, of an infected wound from shaving. Soon death came for others linked to the inscrutable and important work — a visiting diplomat, the lead funder’s half-brother, and a string of scientists involved with the project. They died of suicide, of strange illnesses, in a gruesome murder. There were so many deaths that there was no way they could not be connected. Finally, the project’s lead scientist and most famous face died unexpectedly, years after the project’s completion.

Anyone following the news lately might think the above paragraphs are about the “disappearing scientists” story, alleging that a number of researchers and scientists connected to the defense industry or astrophysics have all died of unusual causes over the last year, with some vanishing while on walks and others horrifically murdered in seemingly random shootings.

This conspiracy theory has jumped from obscurity to global coverage in just weeks, with more names being added to the “death list” every day.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/whats-really-underpinning-the-missing-scientists-conspiracy-theory

I do not want to add to the conspiracy but there has got to be some sort of commonality in these incidents…..when they discover that they will most likely discover what the Hell is going on.

Any thoughts?

“I Ain’t Dead”

Over the weekend social media exploded with all kinds of conspiracies on why Donny had not been seen or heard from in a couple of days…..but never fear he had something about these conspiracies….

Sometimes it feels like barely an hour can go by without hearing from President Trump. So when he didn’t appear for one day, then two, then three, speculation started to swirl online about his health. Not even a few glimpses of the president visiting his golf course over the weekend were enough to stanch the social media rumor mill fueled by political opponents. Trump was asked directly about it Tuesday at his first public event in a week, the AP reports. “How did you find out over the weekend that you were dead?” asked Fox News’ Peter Doocy. “Did you see that?” “No,” the 79-year-old Trump responded flatly. The senators and administration officials gathered around him for the Space Command headquarters announcement shifted their weight and smiled.

The president said he wasn’t aware that people were wondering if he had died, but he had heard there were concerns about his health. “I knew they were saying, like: ‘Is he OK? How is he feeling? What’s wrong?'” Trump said, calling the speculation “fake news” and saying he “was very active over the weekend.” Recently, Trump has been seen with bruising on the back of his right hand, sometimes poorly concealed with makeup, and swelling around his ankles. The White House has said Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which means veins in the legs can’t properly carry blood back to the heart, causing it to pool in the lower legs. It’s a fairly common condition for older adults.

As far as the bruising, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it’s from “frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin,” which Trump takes regularly to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Trump pointed out Tuesday that he gave a few interviews during the days when he wasn’t appearing publicly, plus he was posting on Truth Social, his social media site. He wrote some “long Truths,” as the posts are known, and some “pretty poignant Truths.” In one of those posts, from Sunday, he said he “NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.” On CNN Tuesday morning, anchor Audie Cornish had a short discussion about the topic, the AP reports. “At one point the term ‘Trump is dead’ was trending on social media,” Cornish said. “Not true.”

So all that wishful thinking by so many was for naught.

I am sure that the conspiracies will remain just subdued for now.

Is A Collapse Imminent?

***This is just an FYI post I do not necessarily agree and is only one person’s opinion/prediction***

Social media has been alight with comments flying back and forth on Dear Donny’s health issues and/or his mental health…..and this is Alex Jones’ prediction…..

Famed conspiracy theorist Alex Jones commented on the “crisis” Donald Trump faces as his health continues to visibly decline.

On Wednesday, August 20, Jones spoke about the president on his “Infowars” podcast, where he suggested Trump could face deadly consequences if he “doesn’t take his foot off the gas pedal” and get much-needed rest.

He insisted that “at the current trajectory” of Trump’s health, the president “is going to have some sort of collapse within the next 12 months.”

As Trump’s swollen ankles and bruised hand continue to raise concern, Jones compared the 79-year-old to a “light bulb starting to go out.”

“I’ve seen a lot of signs of Trump declining,” he said. “And so he’s on a lot of the time, but like a light bulb is starting to go out. It gets brighter, it gets dim; it goes in and out.”

Jones commented on Trump’s notorious late nights, suggesting that if he took the necessary rest, he would be in better health.

“He’s hyper-competitive and hyper-aggressive. So, you talk about in the zone, folks. It’s fair to say that Trump is unconscious, basically, for periods of the day now,” he stated. “Because there are times where I’m exhausted and working entirely on adrenaline, up for two days, and I make pretty good decisions — sometimes better than when I’m conscious — but I think back and I don’t remember what I did.”

Any thoughts you would like to share?

Like I stated earlier….this is just one person’s opinion….a person who is notorious for is lame ass conspiracies.

I am by no means a fan of Jones I just wanted to include this because of the massive amounts of traffic on social media about Donny’s possible health issues.

Do not shoot the messenger….just letting you, my reader, know what is being said and why.

This does it for me today I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

All Those Conspiracy Theories

It is a Friday and this is a fun post  for my last one of the day….

The US is full of conspiracy theories and this article shows which ones are the most popularly searched on the internet by state.

My state the most popular is “New Coke’….

Mississippi

Most Searched Conspiracy Theory: New Coke

Other Searched/More Local Conspiracy Theories: Organ trafficking starting in Tupelo and COVID-19 vaccine theories

Check out your state and see who is looking for the next bit of bullshit to pass on…..

https://247tempo.com/this-is-the-most-googled-conspiracy-theory-in-every-u-s-state/

Conspiracy theories are a lot of fun to think about and research. You’d be surprised at the strangest ones that exist and are most believed. While most know about the Illuminati, have you heard of the one about the Denver International Airport (DIA)? Or how about that dragonflies aren’t real, but instead spy cameras?

Even if you don’t actually believe in any big conspiracy theories, it’s hard to ignore them when so many people do. According to a YouGov survey, about half of Americans believe that Lee Harvey Oswald didn’t kill JFK alone. Another popular conspiracy theory in the survey was that Obama wasn’t born in the United States (31%).

Interesting, right? Each state, though, and even city/county, believes in one conspiracy theory over the other. For this slideshow, we used data compiled from the DIRECTV provider, USDIRECT, along with Google Search autofill to view what each state searches the most. Although there are thousands of conspiracy theories, a few specific ones come up over and over again.

Note: 24/7 Tempo is just displaying information on conspiracy theories. None of these are our beliefs, nor are we stating they are correct/real.

There are suckers born every minute.

Have a great weekend and as always….Be Well and Be Safe….

Let’s Ban Weather Modification

There has been a wealth of bills flying around to ban experiments in controlling the weather…..there is no experiments to control the weather…..but that does not stop the GOP from using it as a tool for crowd control.

Republicans across the country are working hard to pass bills banning something that the fringe corners of the internet told them to be afraid of: weather modification.

Weather modification refers to geoengineering processes such as solar radiation modification and cloud-seeding that are used to counter the effects of global warming and drought, respectively. These processes have been woven into right-wing conspiracy theories that the government is able to control the weather, and MAGA lawmakers—fearful that the Democrats could rule the heavens and summon a deluge to wipe them out—have started to take action.

Republican lawmakers in nearly 20 states have introduced legislation to prevent weather modification. Some of the laws allude to “chemtrails,” a conspiracy theory that planes aren’t leaving “contrails” of condensation in the atmosphere but are spreading chemicals on an unsuspecting public. In two states, Florida and Tennessee, those bills have passed and been signed into law.

In July, right-wing concerns about weather modification reached a new fever pitch.

Earlier this month, Environmental Protection Agency head Lee Zeldin announced an effort to “compile everything we know about contrails and geoengineering” and release it to the public.

Days later, Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tim Burchett introduced the Clear Skies Act, a bill that would levy steep penalties for anyone who “knowingly conducts weather modification,” including geoengineering, cloud seeding, solar radiation modification, and the release of aerosol to “influence temperature, precipitation, or the intensity of sunlight.”

After Hurricane Helene struck the southeast United States in October, Greene boosted the right-wing conspiracy theory that the Biden administration had used weather manipulation to target Republican areas ahead of the U.S. general election. “Yes they can control the weather,” Greene wrote in a post on X at the time. “It’s ridiculous for anyone to lie and say it can’t be done.”

Another waste of time and resources…..but then that is what the GOP does best.

For All Those Conspiracy Theorists

For decades there has been some wild speculation on the assassinations of JFK, RFK and MLK and only small amounts of info has been released to the public…..and the whining went on and it finally fell on the ears of the new Lord High Monarch……

There will be a release of more information on these killings….

An executive order signed by President Trump on Thursday calls for making thousands of documents related to the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. public. “Lot of people are waiting for this a long, for years, for decades,” Trump said, per CNN. “Give that to RFK Jr.,” his pick to run the Department of Health and Human Services, the president said when he finished with one pen. Another Kennedy descendant immediately criticized Trump’s decision. “There’s nothing heroic about it,” Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, posted on X.

Many of the documents connected to the JFK assassination have already been declassified, including 13,000 released during the Biden administration, though plenty have been redacted. Trump’s order gives the director of national intelligence and the attorney general 45 days to come up with a plan for releasing all RFK and King files, per CBS News. They’re given 15 days on the JFK files, though neither office has been filled yet. President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and RFK and King in 1968. “Everything will be revealed,” Trump told reporters at the signing, the Guardian reports.

Trump promised to release the files during the campaign. He said that in his first campaign but reversed once in office. The CIA, Pentagon, and State Department have held back files, saying it’s mostly to protect the identities of confidential sources who are still alive and safeguard the agencies’ methods, per CNN. Schlossberg suggested Thursday that people looking for evidence of conspiracy theories will be disappointed. “The truth is a lot sadder than the myth—a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme,” Schlossberg posted, saying that “declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back.”

Will the public learn anything they already do not know about these assassinations?

This should keep those conspiracist busy trying to glean more info out of the documents.

Whatcha think?

Who Controls The Weather?

I am always fascinated on what people want to believe and this one takes the damn cake.

Who or what controls the weather?  Is it Mother Nature?  How about the CIA?

According to some on the Right it is the Democrats.

Yes you read that properly….the Dems are in control of the weather and are using hurricanes to destroy Red States….

Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been hilarious if most of the things she said were satire. Now she thinks that Democrats can control hurricanes.

On Twitter and Instagram, Greene claimed, “They can control the weather.” The Georgia Representative did not phrase this tweet as a joke and made the same claims a few days ago. In fact, she went on to state that “anyone who says don’t, or make fun of this, is lying to you.”‘ She also cited a speech by former CIA Director John Brennan on geoengineering to “prove” that the Democratic Party is capable of controlling the weather through Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI).

I didn’t think Democrats could be airbenders, but here we are.

Perhaps the irony of Greene’s claim comes from the fact that SAI is a method developed to solve a problem she doesn’t believe in: climate change. Unfortunately, her tweet gained over 59,000 likes. Those who agreed with Greene also believed that climate change isn’t real and that it’s all the Democrats’ fault.

The video proof Greene presented is misleading and unrelated to her claim. Not everyone can understand what Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) is, but Brennan himself explained the method in layman’s terms. SAI can’t form hurricanes nor drive the direction of typhoons. What SAIs can do is reflect solar radiation back into space to cool the Earth’s crust.

Tropical cyclones develop over warm oceans. The water vapor from these warm oceans condenses into clouds, and the heat produced by the atmosphere turns the air lighter. This is how storms are formed and how they’re pushed on land. SAIs have nothing to do with storms, as per Greene’s example.

This isn’t the first time Greene misappropriated examples to stir a commotion online. Greene has been vocally skeptical about climate change on multiple occasions. Earlier in 2023, however, Greene used the example of climate change to dissuade migrants from coming to the United States.

Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t consistent with her stances regarding climate issues. It goes to show that she’ll say anything if it’s politically convenient.

Is It True Or False?

I know this subject has been touched on by many…..and since I try to be a little FYI I thought once more could not hurt.

We are surrounded these days by conspiracy theories….it seems like there are new ones every week….but how do we tell if they are true or false?

I am so glad you asked.

This is just a little help in deciding what is true and what is false (not that too many will actually use this to find out)….but a clarification is needed now more than ever for there are too many that have wrong-minded ideas.

The extreme consequences of unfounded conspiratorial beliefs could be seen on the staircases of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and in the self-immolation of a protestor outside the courthouse holding the latest Trump trial.

But if hidden forces really are at work in the world, how is someone to know what’s really going on?

That’s where my research comes in; I’m a social psychologist who studies misleading narratives. Here are some ways to vet a claim you’ve seen or heard.

Step 1: Seek out the evidence

Real conspiracies have been confirmed because there was evidence. For instance, in the allegations dating back to the 1990s that tobacco companies knew cigarettes were dangerous and kept that information secret to make money, scientific studies showed problematic links between tobacco and cancer. Court cases unearthed corporate documents with internal memos showing what executives knew and when. Investigative journalists revealed efforts to hide that information. Doctors explained the effects on their patients. Internal whistleblowers sounded the alarm.

But unfounded conspiracy theories reveal their lack of evidence and substitute instead several elements that should be red flags for skeptics:

  • Dismissing traditional sources of evidence, claiming they are in on the plot.

  • Claiming that missing information is because someone is hiding it, even though it’s common that not all facts are known completely for some time after an event.

  • Attacking apparent inconsistencies as evidence of lies.

  • Overinterpreting ambiguity as evidence: A flying object may be unidentified – but that’s different from identifying it as an alien spaceship.

  • Using anecdotes – especially vaguely attributed ones – in place of evidence, such as “people are saying” such-and-such or “my cousin’s friend experienced” something.

  • Attributing knowledge to secret messages that only a select few can grasp – rather than evidence that’s plain and clear to all.

https://www.iflscience.com/how-to-tell-if-a-conspiracy-theory-is-probably-false-74168

This is probably a waste of time for most people will believe a lie as long as it feeds their idiocy.

Just look at the comments on current events to see what I am talking about.
