He has literally claimed that shape-shifting lizards rule the world.Type_45 said:
Yes, and I do like him.lozzy1965 said:
Ever heard of David Icke? You'd like him.Type_45 said:
What is happening is a massive power and money grab by the people who rule the world. ie, the tech giants, big pharma, numerous billionaires, supra-national organisations (IMF, UN, EU etc) and the national governments (who in reality are puppets who only last a few years).
And whilst all of the above are richer and/or more powerful now by orders of magnitude than they were before Covid, you'll notice that ordinary people are poorer, less free and suffering.
But you probably don't see it that way because you get your information from the media organisations which the people getting richer own.
If you can't see you are being played then you brainwashing and propaganda has worked on you.
Do you think it's a coincidence that Google became a pharmaceutical company in 2019... and were at the time funding the Covid researchers working in Wuhan who allowed the virus to escape... and who's profits then rose 162% during lockdowns.... and all the while they are in complete control of what people see when they "google" for what's going on?
If you can't see that you are being played, and that this is all about power and money, and that the billions of ordinary people are nothing more than a commodity for the 1% then I really can't help you.2 -
Orders of magnitude, plural, means a factor if 100 or more.Type_45 said:
That's not what it means. It means by 10, not 100.eskbanker said:
Orders (plural) of magnitude means at least a multiple of a hundred, so exactly which have added multiple zeroes to their wealth in the last year and a half? Or if you're retreating to power rather than wealth, how exactly are you quantifying that?Type_45 said:

"The world's 2,365 billionaires enjoyed a $4 trillion boost to their wealth during the first year of the pandemic, increasing their fortunes by 54%"
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/billionaire-wealth-covid-pandemic-12-trillion-jeff-bezos-wealth-tax/
Even if it was singular, that means a factor of ten, or a 900% increase.
You are justifying a claim of a 900% increase with an article referring to a 54% increase. So you are wrong here again.2 -
But I AM part of the 1%.Type_45 said:If I were one of the 1% with a stake in media, tech, pharma etc and I was profiting massively, I'd be very pleased for those who knew what I was up to being called "conspiracy theorists" by the ones who I was successfully hood-winking.
They are laughing at you.2 -
If you think you, or the 1% highest earners in the UK, are who I'm referring to, then you're either completely clueless or willfully misrepresenting what I'm saying. No wonder Dominic Raab blanked you.GeordieGeorge said:

So you’re now changing the story again? It was you who mentioned the 1%, and when proven wrong you’re going to pretend that you weren’t talking about the 1% at all?Type_45 said:

Don’t you réalisé how this is coming across? You made a series of very silly claims, and when contradicted can’t even bring yourself to engage with the argument, you actually just claim that you didn’t make it.

I've already said who I am referring to. I'm not going to repeat myself, and particularly not to someone who is not engaging in good faith and hasn't a clue what he's talking about.GeordieGeorge said:

For you to think that a globalist conspiracy can't be happening because they'd have to include YOU is possibly the best thing I've read on this forum.0
