Popular Alternative Theories

Some of y'all have creative interpretations of when the 21st century started. Regardless, I have to ask for more detail about this one. I've never heard of it, and Google just brings up the CAM billboards.

As a child I remember hearing a conversation about small color coded signs on interstate highways that represented the initial stages of a national plan to imprison Christians in hidden camps.

Hmmm... I see your point. So what does this mean, am I antinomian, bad at math or somehow overlooked Ernie's era qualification in a later post? Time will tell.

The mysterious little markers sometimes said cryptic things like "Detour C". The source I heard spinning theories about them was also a proponent of end times apocalypse theory like "88 reasons". He was generally not taken seriously.

This sounds similar to the idea that the government puts colored dots on mailboxes so they know what to do with you when they set up the New World Order:

A blue dot your mailbox: You’re taken to a FEMA camp.
Pink: You’ll be used for slave labor.
Red: You are shot in the head immediately.

For a while I wondered if we might be witnessing the birth of a new cult or religion with the growth of Qanon. There is a collection of multiple alternative theories at the core. It seems to be loosing steam and the most high profile adherents have moved into church space.

Well, whoever he is hasn’t posted to 8chan in a while. I am still shocked than an 8chan LARP managed to balloon into something that deceived millions of people. (For what it’s worth similar stuff to qanon gets posted almost every day in those places and is largely ignored.)

I think conspiracies around vaccines are flourishing in the last 10 years.

Some are false, some are true and some are impossible for the average person to determine.

Here are a few I heard.
1. COVID vaccine contains a nano chip with tracking information developed by Bill Gates
2. COVID vaccine alters your DNA
3. COVID vaccine causes sterilization
4. Vaccines are linked to autism

Don't forget this one!

The altering your DNA one is the only one with a possible route to actually do so scientifically.
Of course, who doesn’t want to become magnetic?

I heard a new one last week.

Meghan Markle announced she would be interested in taking Diane Feinstein's place as a senator. It is hypothesised that Markle and Harry's rift with the Royal Family is a hoax and that it is a cover for a plot to retake "the colonies" by infiltrating the US government.

I assure you that the rift is real and there is no plot to return the US to the UK.

Thanks for putting our minds at rest.

Sometimes casual readers forget to read the OP. I find it best to use reminders.
