Zhou Ruizhuang. In 1969, Fred Hampton – chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party – said: “we saying that theory’s cool, but theory with no practice ain’t shit.” He elaborated this statement in another speech that he gave in the same year: “I don’t care how much theory you got, if it don’t have any practice applied to it, then that theory happens to […]

The retired US Navy SEAL credited with the assassination of al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden is speaking out after US President Donald Trump amplified a baseless conspiracy theory suggesting that former US President Barack Obama’s administration actually staged a fake operation, complete with a bin Laden body double. “Very brave men said goodby to their kids to go kill Osama bin Laden. We were given the order by President Obama. It was not a body double,” Robert O’Neill, the former Navy SEAL who allegedly killed bin Laden in a 2011 raid, tweeted on Tuesday. “Thank you Mr. President. Happy birthday @USNavy.” […]
President Donald Trump backed a budding conspiracy theory on Tuesday that four Americans were killed in the 2012 Benghazi attack to cover up the blood-sacrifice of Navy SEALs and the “fact” that Osama Bin Laden is still alive, marking what is perhaps the president’s strangest brush yet with far-right conspiracy theories. Trump’s promotion of the new Benghazi conspiracy theory, which is fast gaining traction on the far right, came in the form of a retweet of a QAnon believer pushing the claim. The president’s backing helped push the tweet about Benghazi above 14,000 retweets. The bizarre theory, which is outre even […]
It took about two full minutes from President Trump’s tweet confirming that he and Melania Trump had both tested positive for COVID-19 for the Twittersphere to go quite literally crazy with conspiracies. A number of Twitter users have pushed the theory that the president is “faking” the diagnosis to get out of any more disastrous debates or to distract the world from his $750 tax scandal. More sage posters, like author and self-described conspiracy theory debunker Mike Rothschild offered this, “The galaxy brain take is that Trump is faking COVID to get out of the debates or distract from the tax […]
youtube.com Why People Fall for the ‘Big Lie’ Psychologists are piecing together the personality profiles that are most prone to falling for “Big Lie” theories https://t.co/SeWrvGKXHX — NYT Health (@NYTHealth) September 30, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: Why would someone believe that coronavirus was designed and released to destroy the human race? Why would someone believe that the CDC is trying to politically ruin Trump? These beliefs would fall under the auspices of conspiracy theory. The belief in conspiracy theories offers a sense of control for those who feel threatened by their environment. What better time, now during the COVID-19 pandemic, to […]
If the internet was a person, ARPANET was its first tooth, Facebook was the pubescent rage of middle school and Bitcoin was the key to its first car. Today, we find ourselves riding shotgun, unsure of what direction the internet will take next. There are those who feel we’re about to careen off a cliff, and others who write off the internet’s dangers as inevitable growing pains of innovation. The internet allows us to work together while simultaneously incentivizing us to tear each other apart. That dynamic isn’t sustainable for long. Perhaps over the next 10 years the internet will go […]
Everyone knows that live television isn’t easy. Anything can go wrong—from a faulty connection, a verbal slip-up, or, as was the case on Tuesday morning’s Fox & Friends, Rudy Giuliani bellowing insane conspiracy theories at the nation with no obvious way to stop him. It’s always a risk to allow Giuliani to share his wildly unpredictable stream of consciousness live. The man who was named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2001 has long been reduced to sharing the latest Trumpist conspiracy theories on any cable news channel that has the budget to cover any possible subsequent defamation lawsuits. This […]
New Theory Of How COVID-19 Infects Humans A Supercomputer Analyzed Covid-19 — and an Interesting New Theory Has Emerged by @tomsmith585 in @elemental https://t.co/5k43HLJsFN — Carol Duff (@CarolDuff18) September 10, 2020 Health Editor’s Note: The Oak Ridge National Lab’s Summit supercomputer put together data of more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples to try to better understand COVID-19 and how it infects people. After analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations the a new hypothesis evolved to explain many of the bizarre symptoms associated with COVID-19 and potential treatments. The new findings are that the virus enters the nose through the many ACE2 receptors […]
President Trump has ordered the federal government to stop critical race theory training. The order came even after a summer of protests for racial justice across the country. Charlie Riedel/AP hide caption toggle caption Charlie Riedel/AP President Trump has ordered the federal government to stop critical race theory training. The order came even after a summer of protests for racial justice across the country.

The search for alien life in the universe usually focuses on exoplanets orbiting around distant suns, but a new theory proposed by researchers in New York suggests an extreme form of ‘nuclear life’ may be living inside stars. While constantly scanning the skies for Earth-like planets inhabiting the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ of their stars – not too hot but not too cold, allowing for liquid water on their surface – alien-hunting scientists may have overlooked a source of potential extremophile creatures: the stars themselves. Also on rt.com NASA shares stunning IMAGE of Earth-sized planet that could harbor alien life As the name […]
Hours before she was set to speak at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday night, Mary Ann Mendoza took to Twitter and urged her followers to investigate a supposed Jewish plot to enslave the world. “Do yourself a favor and read this thread,” Mendoza, who is a member of the Trump campaign’s advisory board, tweeted to her more than 40,000 followers early Tuesday morning. Mendoza, an “angel mom,” is scheduled to speak Tuesday about her son’s 2014 death at the hands of a drunk driver who was in the country illegally. Her tweet on Tuesday linked to a lengthy thread from […]

CNN has whipped up an army of outraged Twitter liberals after it slammed a network of local news stations for airing an interview with a disgraced scientist who blamed Dr Anthony Fauci for the coronavirus. Dr Judy Mikovits is the star of ‘Plandemic,’ a conspiracy documentary claiming that Covid-19 is a ploy by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases head Dr Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates to poison the masses with vaccines and get rich doing so. The film has been pulled from YouTube, censored in internet searches, and denounced by almost every single mainstream media outlet. Mikovits, however, will […]
Some US officials pushed allegations that the novel coronavirus escaped – or was even deliberately released – from a virology lab in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The lack of evidence did not prevent the US from accusing China of downplaying the disease and concealing COVID-19-related data, with Trump even dubbing the virus “Chinese” or “Kung Flu”. The US Department of State released an internal cable dating back to 2018 that describes concerns raised by some officials from the US embassy in China on the lack of “adequately trained personnel” in a then-established Wuhan virology lab. Two years after the memo […]
The researchers say their study hasn’t brought humanity any closer to extracting energy from black holes, but noted that future generations could build a structure that may produce limitless energy using them. An international team of scientists has found an answer to a question that has troubled scientists for more than half a century – can a rotating black hole be used as a source of energy? According to a study, which was recently published in the journal Nature Physics, the answer is yes. In 1969, British mathematical physicist Roger Penrose proposed a method known as the Penrose process, detailing how […]
Codenamed Lockhart, the cheaper, less powerful model could be the first in a range of “Project Scarlett consoles”, and points to a key part of Microsoft’s pricing strategy. Project Scarlett, Microsoft’s original name for its Xbox Series X console, has been long rumoured to encompass two next-gen consoles under the names Anaconda and Lockhart. In March, curious technophiles were quick to discover that etched in the Xbox Series X mainboard is an Anaconda, leading to rumours that the release of a second console, Lockhart, was still on the cards. Now, a newly leaked Microsoft document posted on Twitter has reignited the […]
The video of cops in Buffalo pushing an elderly man so hard that his head smashed off the ground and blood started gushing from his right ear shocked people across the nation. But President Trump isn’t convinced it’s real. Tweeting Tuesday morning, the president pushed a baseless conspiracy theory with no evidence that the scene was a “set-up.” Trump wrote: “Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was […]
Invoking an unwritten blame game playbook, Rick Scott, a China hawk in the US Senate, claimed there’s proof Beijing tried to frustrate the Western search for a coronavirus vaccine – but there’s also no way you could ever see it. Scott, a senator from Florida, made the headline-grabbing remark while speaking to BBC’s Andrew Marr this Sunday, telling him that the US and the West have to roll out their Covid-19 vaccine, no matter what Beijing is up to. We have got to get this vaccine done. Unfortunately we have evidence that communist China is trying to sabotage us or slow […]
________WiredHow the 5G coronavirus conspiracy theory tore through the internet It started with one doctor. On January 22, Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws published an interview with Kris Van Kerckhoven, a general practitioner from Putte, near Antwerp. “5G is life-threatening, and no one knows it”, read the headline. One scientifically-baseless claim in this article, published in a regional version of the paper’s print edition and since deleted from its website, sparked a conspiracy theory firestorm that has since torn through the internet and broken out into the real world, resulting in fires and threats. Van Kerckhoven didn’t just claim that 5G […]
Monday afternoon, America’s most manic snitch sat down in a stairwell at his new undisclosed address to upload an Instagram video about the music industry’s supposed latest mega-scam. “So listen, I want the world to know that Billboard is a lie,” said Tekashi 6ix9ine, or Daniel Hernandez, who was recently released from federal custody, where he was serving out a sentence for nine charges including conspiracy to murder and armed robbery. “You can buy No. 1s on Billboard. I want that to register in your head: You can buy No. 1s on Billboard.” The conspiracy he was talking about involved the […]
Comment This is one of those that should fall under the title of unlikely things to awaken Brits’ patriotic spirit: a gaggle of anti-5G protestors in the UK’s capital. Yes, the people who gathered in London, against expert medical advice, this past weekend, are idiots. You don’t have to remind us of that. They earnestly believe the COVID-19 pandemic isn’t a real thing. Those people hooked up to ventilators don’t have a disease but are merely suffering the effects of radiation poisoning. We don’t need a lockdown, they insist, but rather to tear down the handful of 5G towers that have […]

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo proclaimed that “enormous evidence” shows the COVID-19 outbreak began in a laboratory in Wuhan, raising doubts immediately with his claim as it breaks with a common recognition of global scientists. The World Health Organisation said there were some 15,000 full genome sequences of the novel coronavirus available, and “from all of the evidence that… this virus is of natural origin.” US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci also suggested no scientific evidence had been given to support the theory that the virus was made in a Chinese laboratory. The US President Donald Trump’s administration, including […]
