Bizarrely another ex Southampton player has also jumped on the CT train, Rickie Lambert.And yes, a lot of them are grifters. I saw ex footballer Matt Le Tissier (who's gone very CT) is posting about vitamins with discount codes, and he gets plenty of replies from arse kissers along the lines of: "just ordered 5 bottles hun, can't wait to try them, keep doing what ur doing xxx"
Omg Matt Le Tissier is such a scum bag. He was all over twitter when Eriksen had a heart attack during the euros claiming it was caused by the vaccine, then it turned out that he hadn’t even been vaccinated. I don’t really get why you would trust and buy from someone who admitted to putting massive bets on matches he was playing in either lmao, guy is a blatant scammer.Yeah I bet this guy won't be asked back to GB News! It was funny to see Oliver flailing. He's so used to his echo chamber on Twitter and the GB News couch that when his nonsense was pointed out directly to him he couldn't cope. It was like he started to malfunction.
I completely agree with a crackdown on HCPs who use their titles to attempt to add legitimacy to their posts. It could make vulnerable people more likely to believe anything they type - which is quite sinister. You can guarantee Elon won't do anything though, as he'd say it was limiting their "free speech".
I agree many of them are probably lying about their credentials (given the amount of tweets some of them churn out daily) or are being disingenuous - eg using "Dr" in their title/username when they've got a PhD, and aren't a medical doctor. While it's factually correct, using one's title in that way while churning out medical tweets *IS* misleading. Academic titles aren't relevant on Twitter. I've got a degree, imagine what a tool I'd look like if I added the letters of my degree to my Twitter username.

I just did some investigating and read that he said show gratitude to water will make it clean.Bizarrely another ex Southampton player has also jumped on the CT train, Rickie Lambert.
I don't know much about what he was like in his footballing days, so maybe he was always a bit of a conspiracy theorist, although Twitter and the like seem to propagate so much of it, I suspect even if he had an interest in CTs it wouldn't have been quite the same as now.Omg Matt Le Tissier is such a scum bag.

Gary Neville follows quite a few CT pages as well actually I noticed recently actually.

Nah me neither, their football careers were before my time tbf, I mainly know them as pundits (or ex pundit in Le Tissier’s case lmao).I just did some investigating and read that he said show gratitude to water will make it clean.
Surely a mickey take?

I think the grifting is evidenced by how these people talk about little else. It's very rare you'll scroll through their tweets and find a vareity of comments, they just churn out repetitive tweets and very rarely change subjects.
I had a look at one the other day - a 'doctor' from Denmark - and among all her conspiracy theory posts were many whinging tweets about how she hadn't got any money from this new scheme where prolific verified tweeters were getting payouts. Her moaning could have been summed as up "but I do so much grifting and I thought I'd got it right, but my payout was $0 while X got $22,000 and his tweets weren't viewed as much as mine". Could you be any more transparent?!

I never knew that. Sounds like beauty and the beast.As an aside, always amazes me that he was in a relationship with Emily Symonds - aka Marilyn from Home and Away/Louise from Emmerdale.
Not exactly about that but the belief rather than the earth is flat (personally fascinated why someone can be so quite frankly and blunt stupid and ignorant), rather is a myth that people certainly in the medieval period and prior (up to a point) thought the earth was flat, since about 240BCE most educated people knew the Earth isn't, was a Greek Mathematician Eratosthenes in exactly that year whom calculated the circumference of Earth with remarkable accuracy and not only that it had a tilt, again with amazing accuracy.I've lived through some unbelievably hot days, one 46c and one 48c. For where I live, that is brutal. The 46 degree day also triggered bushfires which killed 173 people, countless native and domestic animals and destroyed over 2,000 homes.
We've been lucky the last couple of summers, due to a La Niña effect it hasn't been as hot but I'm dreading the next summer season.
Anyone asking"What about the Ice Age, what was that?" can't deny that pumping filth into the air and water isn't going to have a catastrophic effect, despite how the weather has been changeable since the beginning of time?
Unless you're one of those Jesus-on-a-dinosaur dudes who thinks the earth is only 6,000 years old, of course.
Excuse my rambling, I'm running on tea and vape juice due to my husband snoring up a storm and 13 kg cats thinking my head is a good source of heat.
You’d think, but he seems to believe it. He’s full-on ant-vax, was on a CT podcast when he said that, and has #thegreatawakening in his profile.I just did some investigating and read that he said show gratitude to water will make it clean.

The likely hood of the increased number of people who thought people before them believed the Earth wasn't spherical came quite essentially from some of those in the Victorian era when looking at paintings like The Garden of Earthly Delights (does have a globe looking object in it (like a dome) with a flat plane of Earth within it in the painting, giving them the idea that people 100s of years prior thought it was flat, but most educated people didn't.

im pretty sure that’s the same woman that did death by conspiracyHas anyone listened to Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast? I'm just a few episodes in but it's quite good and very interesting so far.
There’s an episode where a very emotional lady starts crying about how she’s trying to save people or something and it left me with a lot of thoughtsHas anyone listened to Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast? I'm just a few episodes in but it's quite good and very interesting so far.
Yes, I heard that one and I had thoughts too. The angry man shouting over Marianna pissed me off though. It's quite a common reaction for CTs to get all red faced and shouty when their views are questioned.There’s an episode where a very emotional lady starts crying about how she’s trying to save people or something and it left me with a lot of thoughts
Ooh I’ve been meaning to listen to this actually, it sounds good from the preview! I feel like it’s gonna make me cringe hearing all the CT stuff though, seems like it focuses quite a lot on the pitchfork carrying gang mentality aspect of them.Has anyone listened to Marianna in Conspiracyland podcast?

Yes it does a little but with good reason and it's not just sensationalised, it's quite balanced.Ooh I’ve been meaning to listen to this actually, it sounds good from the preview!
