I would not feel surprised anything it reported. Just keep calm and move on.

Besides, this story would obviously not be surprising at all even if completely true. I don't think anyone would be surprised if Trump has been played for decades by the KGB :lol:

Really interesting to see how pop culture suddenly started portraying conspiracy theories so differently.

 

Go back 20 or 30 years, and you'll stumble onto films like The Terminator 2, The Twelve Monkeys, JFK... The list goes on. All of them indulge into this idea that there is a wider truth that select few are determined to hide at all costs. And the main hero is there to uncover it and win the audience over.

 

Can you just imagine Hollywood making movies like these again? :lol:

Yeah, I wonder if a US Senator said Lee Harvey Oswald was only a puppet and CIA really killed JFK would Democrats try to remove such a person from Congress? :p

 

However the Democrats payback is very much on. They will find every reason to remove an elected person from Congress if neccessary IMO.

Wow, that really is insane!  What on earth will she come up with next?  That men should be able to compete in women’s sports? That gold-medal winning decathletes are really women? :roflmao: No, surely even she is not as crazy as that?  :hyper:

Right, but those are things that have happened. Wether or not you choose to be tolerant doesn’t make something a conspiracy theory. There’s no truth or fact to the claims she’s made.

What’s your point? That she’s insane? Those are two beliefs that are demonstrably far crazier than she anything she believes, yet Joe Biden believes them.

 

That she’s a whacko Conspiracy Theorist?  Nancy Pelosi believes the Russians rigged the 2016 election, yet the Dems re-elected her.

The Yemeni Civil War will continue for many years to come so it's no wonder Biden doesn't want to spend more US taxpayers money. Moreover Yemen supported Saddam Hussein back in the 80s and 90s so USA has another reason to watch this country burn to the ground.

Greta Thunberg accidentally reveals her puppet strings to the world, proves that there really is a global conspiracy to manipulate bubble-headed social-media addicted celebs.  :crazy:

It was bound to happen. Greta Thunberg will go down the Wikileaks path, a liberal craze turned a total fraud. Only this time it's not the Russians who are pulling the strings but rather Western eco lobby, hi-tech & politicians :bye:

    • I thought that was the case.  I just started watching skimo last year, but even then, I didn't recognize any of the women.  I recognized the top Swiss guy, I think.
    • Puripol Boonson seizes home men's 100m sprint gold after going sub-10 seconds in heats   https://www.olympics.com/en/news/sea-games-athletics-mens-100m-final-results-puripol-boonson   First Southeast Asian to go under ten seconds in the 100 meters.
    • Yes, that and a lot of the main medal contenders  either didn't have teams entered/or fielded B-C teams
    • Write-up on the Gisin story.   Olympic champion Gisin undergoes cervical spine surgery after crash
    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team .  They are at least going to have a credible excuse if anyone fails any drug tests.     American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
