What's up everybody?

Welcome back.

Happy Skews Day to you.

It's September 12th, 2023.

I'm Tragher.

That's Mark Aegee.

What's up, Mark?

Oh, just deep in thought.

Just thinking about this guy overheard at the gym the other day saying that he knew that the Maui Fire was started with a space laser because it didn't burn any of the blue cars.

So I just been trying to ponder that for a little bit.

I got in a little Twitter, a mini Twitter rabbit hole today with this guy who was a former truther, but not just a truther, like a hardcore conspiracy theorist who now has renounced all that shit.

He, like, saw the light or whatever. And he posted this clip of himself on a podcast talking about how it came to be. And it was a really long clip. I thought it was interesting. But the shit that he, he seemed rational and everything. And it was so wild to me that he ever believed the stuff he believed because he got in this whole thing where he's like, you know, I was convinced that the devil was behind all this and the antichrist was coming and it was being brought on by a new world order and all this stuff and whatever else. And I'm like, how does this dude ever, it didn't really cover how he came to believe that shit in the first place. But when it fell apart for him, actually, he said, was part of it was Trump winning and Brexit because he said they had already decided, apparently

conspiracy theorists had already decided in 2016 that Hillary Clinton was the one who had been

selected for the position of presidency. Part of their whole thing is they don't believe in elections.

They believe in selections, you know, you get put in the position and they knew it was

Hillary's. Everybody knew it. And also they believe in a new world order, right, which is, you know,

prefaced by like unions, like the European Union, and there'd be a North American Union and all

these other unions eventually leading to a new world order. So Brexit, them leaving the union and then

Trump beating Hillary, those two things didn't jive with him. And Sandy Hook, them talking about

crisis actors and stuff, he said, that can't be right, because everybody knows that these people

are being ritually sacrificed, right? So it's not fake. They're being sacrificed to the devil or whatever he had thought so those

were like the chinks in the armor for him and it all fell apart after that but it's like i don't know
