My suggestion is that you actually participate in discussion and not call people jews or paid shills when they provide information that's contradictory to yours. When people ask you for proof of your claim, it helps to provide it.
This sub is supposed to be a place of free thought and critical thinking. I see less and less of that going on. I've been here since Boston so I've seen a lot more change than you have in the 5 months you've been here. The worst change has been the flood of earth shape and occult/religious posts. Not because of the topic, no topic should be forbidden here. The reason these posts are the culprits is because they are unsubstantiated. They have 0 proof.
ITT: Expecting conspiracy theorists in a sub about conspiracies to not have conspiracy theories.
I am a conspiracy theorist, but I am also a realist...I know that there are people who are going to believe things that I find to be wacky. You have got to just let them go. If enough people find them wacky as well, the topics will be downvoted and die. Will those people also come out to accuse the mods of a conspiracy? Probably...because they feel like they are being silenced, even if they aren't. You can't grease every squeaky wheel. Just let them go be wacky, it is much easier than fighting it. Just my 2ยข.
It's not that I don't expect some ridiculous shit to float around here sometimes. But pay attention to /r/new. It's the same few accounts posting about the same few topics. Hell, OP doesn't even change his wording. He copy/pastes from his own posts and posts 5+ times a day saying the same exact thing. I initially tried to discuss his growing earth theory and expanding earth theory with him and was met with vitriolic comments calling me a paid shill and a jew. For disagreeing and asking for sources.
This sub is built on evidence. If we don't carefully examine and critique evidence, we get another Sunil Tripathi situation.
You are mad because you can't handle the fact that you might have actually developed some dumb opinions. I went through the same a few months ago, even made a post like this too
Ground yourself. Meditate on the idea that there is no they.
You get to choose whether your actions are based out of love or fear. You're creating reality with your fellow humans using your emotions, intent, and actions. What reality do you want to create?
Based on love. Which is why I shared this. I don't want my fellow humans to brush this off as another scare not to worry about when CLEARLY, if you connect the dots, the video shows criminal intent. Technically not criminal because criminality doesn't apply to THEM. I guess I just want people to be prepared.
It's gonna happen one way or another, let's just not be ignorant about it when it happens and who made it happen.

So much effort from these guys to quell any discussion. Very peculiar.
Lol.. I thought this was a conspiracy theory sub not a conspiracy dissertation sub.

You mistook this for a conspiracy dissertation sub, sorry.

Lol I've been here for >3 years compared to your 5 months. I think I have a little more exposure to what this sub was and is than you do

I'm sure you do know what this sub was and is now :)

No.. the same posts stay on the top 10 for days at a time. Something ain't right

It's because not many spend time sorting by new and voting.
It's all 'owned'. The only way to be absolutely free of influence is to disconnect. Which is rather a good idea from time to time.

Then you need a new WEBSITE. Feel free to leave.

Assuming that you've connected the dots, and not just been staring at a Rorschach's test:
What solution do you propose?
There's interesting information in some of your posts, this gets overshadowed by the "sky is falling" lead and tenor.
How do we prepare for the inevitable Zika pandemic that's being perpetrated on us?
Your tone is one of fear, even if your heart isn't there. Present information, leave color and emotional commentary to the reader.

That I don't know.
But even though I'm only digitally connected to these groups, I felt a sense of duty to give my fellow humans a heads up.
Not trying to strike fear but make sure there isn't a false sense of safety.

Watching that 30 second clip should give everyone a healthy dose of fear.
2 resymbol 2016-08-21
Every human will experience death. It need not be feared.
I don't make a habit of watching YouTube videos, especially those that are promised to deliver fear.
Either you're a troll, or you truly are incapable of understanding the meaning of the words you type.

OK, start another one. How long until it too is "OWNED"? A few days? A week?
1 Lb3pHj 2016-08-21
Idk... There is a live one going on right now. Manipulation free. I guess we shall see..
