    More conspiracy theories are not at all.   They are truths denied by authorities, to stop us becoming intrigued; and then investigating further.

But it's virtually the same thing.

Healthy terrain or Strong Immune Sytem.

Makes no difference what you call it.

 

Of course a flu vaccine is not the only way to bolster the immune system.

Maybe neither is it the optimal way. 

But it's a simple way. One visit to the doctor and you're done. 

And some human beings do prefer the path of least resistance.

Maybe they like the convenience of just getting that one flu jab compared to all the effort required to keep the body strong enough to fight off illnees, which is hard work. 

 

 

 

According to my view as explained in my previous post, the viral paradigm is, for all intents and purposes, a work of science-fiction.

 

Therefore, all subsequent actions made under this paradigm are based on belief in a work of fiction. Then comes the interesting part, which consists in actually looking at what these jabs contain:

Don't forget to put the lid down when you flush.

I've just explained to you that I don't subscribe to the viral paradigm, Transam, so if you inist on reducing it to either 'yes' or 'no', I would lean towards 'no'.

John Lennon death

 

Michael Jackson too, maybe. And others. 

People mock the Elvis thing.

Maybe they have become too famous and just want to live the rest of their lives out of the spotlight in peace.

Michael Jackson was put down IMO. He was becoming troublesome.

 

I don't believe for one second that Elvis retired to the moon. No one has ever been there. just conspiracy theory nonsense.

Many conspiracies are partially true.

He may still be alive, but it doesn't mean he's on the Moon.

People put out nonsense to make the conspiracies seem ridiculous. So since it's too ridiculous that Elvis is on the moon, then he must be dead. And therefore, no one believes that celebrities ever fake their deaths. 

 

There's a long list on here. Don't know all the stories. Bruce Lee is on there.

Our very own Rumak - Steve McQueen is on there. 

 

David Bowie is obvious. Since he allegedly died just 2 days after releasing his final album. And one of the songs on the album is about Lazarus, which has the theme of death. They make it obvious sometimes. What a coincidence!

McCartney 100% dead and replaced in 1966. Will start a topic on it in the coming days.

Perhaps not putting the lid down before you flush is the equivalent effect of some "social media"?

Elon Musk has sparked fresh debate by suggesting that we might be living in a simulation. The tech billionaire’s remarks reignite discussions about the nature of reality, artificial intelligence, and the digital universe.

 

 

 

Second answer (much more speculative, perhaps even whimsical): The true advance of humans came from a human genetic mutation that took place about 3000 years ago. One of my names for it is “the dissatisfaction gene.” This was a gene that made people unsatisfied with their present situation. Animals never developed this; they search for environments that are good enough, and then they are satisfied. House cats are prototypical. But even elephants seem to be happy when they find a place with lots of grass and water.

All this coincides with the notion that living a large monthly pension is required to be happy. We ridicule those expats living in a small condo or even those living in Isaan.

 

Unfortunately I have  the  "dissatisfaction gene"  Always want more.

Artists addicted to their audience and fans? Even they are introverts? Should had staged their leave and never been seen again? That's a good one. I mean the moon is plausible for someone who do not understand psychology, physics and enginering, but 

 

 

I heard someone ask a flat earther how they thought Japan was able to bomb Pearl Harbour the other day.  It made me laugh. Totally crushed the poor fool.

Japan did not bomb Pearl Harbor the other day. That happened decades ago.

There are a couple of really informed AN members who have the answers.

 

If one was to travel in an airplane, or a fast boat, how long would it be til the plane was upside down, or the people fell out of the boat? Also why can't a plane fly around the globe; non stop.

 

There is also the travel between the southern parts. Say Cape Town to the south of Chile or Argentina.

 

Also the secrecy of the South Pole.
