LONDON -- Real conspiracies do exist.
It’s the first thing the 12-page “Conspiracy Theory Handbook” tells you: “Volkswagen conspired to cheat emissions tests for their diesel engines, the U.S. National Security Agency secretly spied on civilian internet users and the tobacco industry deceived the public about the harmful health effects of smoking,” it says. There was a reason conspiracies like those came to light, the handbook explains. It was all thanks to “internal industry documents, government investigations, or whistleblowers”.
However, the term conspiracy has taken on new meaning in the age of social media. Despite what certain videos on YouTube and posts on Facebook would have you believe, there are not any mind-controlling nanomachines planted in the COVID-19 vaccine and no, Hollywood celebrities aren’t eating babies. These are all theories the conspiracy group QAnon pushes. Theories that legions of online followers accept as fact. I was curious why seemingly rational people would believe things posted online over what governments and scientists tell them.
One November afternoon, I went to a rally in central London, where a hodgepodge of conspiracies collided. Anti-lockdown/anti-vaxxers/anti-you-name-it were gathered to protest pandemic restrictions and mask regulations. Hundreds of demonstrators chanted “freedom” and held signs reading things like “Unmask the Truth” and “No More Lockdowns, No More Cover Ups, No More Masks, No More Lies.” [ link to www.ctvnews.ca (secure)] |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Look at how the Canadian News is Trying to Manipulate people about Conspiracy's At this point, Canadian news is utter garbage whether privately owned broadcasters or the publicly funded one. Actually although CBC is entirely government funded propaganda, the Trudeau government has paid $600 million to other "trustworthy" news sources for biased coverage.
Special mention goes to the agenda-driven, racist, "progressive" left wing news sites started by US expats - Jesuit trained David Beer's The Tyee in BC, Tides Foundation connected Linda Solomon's The National Observer, Arianna Huffington's Huffington Post Canada and Judy Rebick's Rabble. |
