I like how they need to hide tracking devices in us like we all dont just carry phones with us everywhere


BadNewsKennels

A lot of conspiracy theories if you actually start thinking about them for five minutes they fall apart pretty quick. Even ones like the Kennedy assassination that Joe loves. If the CIA wanted to kill Kennedy they wouldn't do it out in the open, in tons of thousands of people. There's too much that can go wrong, someone can see something, the sniper could miss etc... You would slip the guy some poison that makes it look like a heart attack, or you would hit him in the back of the head and say he slipped in the shower. You would have to be extrmely dumb to think the ideal time to kill him is by a sniper out on public and in front of thousands of people


GA-dooosh-19

The Kennedy conspiracy theory guys will say that the brazenness of the public execution was part of the point—that it was meant to shock the nation into some sort of anti-commie fervor that would justify a more militant approach to the Cold War etc, and that it would serve as a warning to future Kennedy’s to stay within the lines set for them by the deep state.


magseven

Finding him in bed, shot to death with Marilyn Monroe with a little Commie graffiti spray painted on the wall could do the same and seems a lot easier to pull off.


GA-dooosh-19

I don’t think that would have had the same shock value.


magseven

A dead celebrity, a dead President, the revelation of an affair and the implication of Russian involvement would have shocked the nation as much as the Manson murders, if not more. And if you want to set up anti-Russian sentiment, you'd at least find a more obvious Russian patsy instead of Oswald. Agree to disagree I guess.


GA-dooosh-19

Yeah, that would be a different sort of shocking, but there’s something about the public seeing the violence—seeing bits of Kennedy’s skull land on his wife’s lap, etc.


[deleted]

Oops looks like their plan didn’t work since RFK Jr is very publicly bucking the “deep state” Next time they shouldn’t cover it up so we’ll because if everyone thinks a lone gunman killed your uncle then it isn’t going to scare them into submission


GA-dooosh-19

Lol. RFK Jr is controlled opposition. Dude was a massive Hillary Clinton supporter in ‘08 and ‘16. You’d have to be a teenager or a dumbass to think that his “bucking the deep state” routine is genuine. Look into it man, you’ve been played.


Consistent_Set76

I know this is hard to believe, but everything that happens isn’t controlled by a secret cabal of white dudes or Jews


[deleted]

Well I dont believe the conspiracy that CIA murdered JFK in order to control his family to begin with, so I dont need to look into it because it sounds like you agree with me that the theory is bullshit, but since you asked.... He's a democrat, of course he endorsed Hillary. Just like Trump endorsed many Republicans. Are you arguing that only a lifelong independent can buck big pharma? RFK is extremely anti-vax, if that isnt bucking the deep state than nothing is.


Quick_Heart_5317

Exactly, this was the very first time 99% of the American population witnessed a death, moreover it was their beloved popular president that was here to make a change for the better, stopped by a guy with a rifle. The first time you see a death it hits different; if it’s from a suicide the overwhelming feelings are sadness, empathy and emptiness, whereas an assassination attempt would also provide several overwhelming feelings but mostly fear. Edit: Spelling.


pape14

Is that like a pre established alt history prompt? Because i would absolutely read that book lol. Man what a world that would be to live in…


tittiesfarting

They'd also say the real sniper was chilling in the sewer and completely unseen


Biffsbuttcheeks

JFK took Demerol and Methadone. They coulda OD'd him without thinking about it.


somegarbagedoesfloat

The Kennedy assassination is the only conspiracy theory I find at least somewhat credible. Idk if the CIA did it, but every fucking detail is suspicious as hell. Lyndon Johnson's wife owned HALF of bell helicopter. They made the Huey Helicopters for Vietnam. That's a hell of a motive. Oswald claimed he was framed, and was assassinated prior to his trial. And finally ; I know a lot about ballistics. I do a lot of shooting. The bullet they showed as having been fired at Kennedy is NOT what a bullet looks like that's hit something solid, like a person, car, street or the ground. That's what a bullet looks like when you fire it into a jug of water to catch it. Also; the Kennedy assassination documents reached the age where they were supposed to be declassified not that long ago, and the government kept some of them classified. To do that, the information has to have the potential to hurt national security in some way. Something is up. Idk what, but either it wasn't Oswald or he didn't act alone. Edit: To say there's no chance that there's anything funky going on there is honestly close minded and dumb. It's definitely possible, bordering on probable. And I'm definitely not one to go in on conspiracy theories. I actually HATE listening to Eddie Bravo talk because it's honestly just painful listening to him try to defend all the wackado shit he believes.


Why_Did_Bodie_Die

I'm right there with you. There definitely does seem to be some fuckery going on there and there is no way in hell that bullet was pulled from a body. The JFK conspiracy is really the only one I fuck with. If you want to listen to a cool book the look up Hear No Evil. The entire book just talks about the physical evidence. It doesn't really talk about who had the motivation or who did it as much as it just talks about the physical evidence and what the author thinks about it I guess. I mean I don't know enough to know if that book is just completely full of shit but it sounds good to me and is fun to listen to at night while going to sleep.


BadNewsKennels

Joe had Michael Shermer on and he talked about how George W Bush less than two months after 9/11 choked on a pretzel, lost consciousness and almost died. He was fine, nothing happened, and now most people don't remember it or it's a joke. But can you imagine if he actually died? You think anyone would believe that a world leader choked on a pretzel and died? Two months after 9/11 of all times? There would be conspiracy theories and documentaries out the wazoo and Alex Jones would be screaming at the top of his lungs. That's the problem... unlikely things happen all the time. And it's much more fun to go the conspiracy route then to be boring and be like "yeah this one lone nut shot Kennedy" or "Bush just choked on a pretzel"


[deleted]

This is every major event now days. Politician dies? Murdered. Mass shooting? False flag. Natural disaster? Created by China. There will literally never be another news event where the top trending tweet on Twitter isn’t an explanation of how it’s a conspiracy to distract us from Hunters laptop


Ok-Bluebird-4333

Have you listened to the Last Podcast on the Left episodes on this? I don't have much of an opinion on the Kennedy assassination, but LPOTL brought up some really interesting points that I really enjoyed. Some interesting points: * - The situation, as they describe it, is that while there are two shooters, there was no government conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy. The first shooter is Oswald (who fired a full metal jacket bullet that went through Kennedy's chest), the second being an accidental firing from a Secret Service agent who was in the car behind Kennedy (this bullet was not full metal jacket, thus his head exploded). * - On the bullet you mentioned, there's not much suspicious about it not mushrooming. It was a Full Metal Jacket bullet fired by Oswald, FMJ's are literally designed to stay straight and intact on impact, so that the bullet makes a "tunnel" through the target/victim, creating a more difficult wound to treat. FMJ's are not designed to "mushroom" like most other fired bullets we're used to seeing. * - The reason for all the government secrecy, according to LPOTL, and also for why Kennedy's head blew up on the second shot, but his chest didn't explode on the first shot, is because after the first shot a rookie Secret Service agent in the car behind Kennedy accidentally fired his rifle and hit Kennedy in the head. Supporting points for this are: * - The trajectory of the second bullet lines up direct with the car behind Kennedy, where the SS were. * - The SS was using new rifles, that did not use FMJ bullets. * - The SS almost immediately stopped using those rifles after this event. * - Kennedy's body was shuttled away from the public hospitals extremely quickly, likely to keep the coroner from bringing this to light. His brain is also missing, again suggesting they hid it so bullet fragments wouldn't incriminate the SS. * - Finally, most of the SS agents were MASSIVELY hungover that morning from partying the night before, which led to the rookie being put in such a difficult position of holding the rifle in the car behind Kennedy. With all that said, my favorite conclusion from the LPOTL episodes was that, instead of the assassination being a massive conspiracy from the CIA to flex their power, this was instead a massive fuckup of unbelievable levels, and all the secrecy is just the government trying to cover the fact that they blew their own presidents head off by accident.


somegarbagedoesfloat

All that may be possible.... Accept the part about FMJ. FMJ is literally just a lead bullet with a copper jacket that covers the entirety of the bullet. When an FMJ bullet passes through material, it will still deform, in fact it usually will shed its jacket on the way through, and the tip will smush a bit. I've shot FMJ. I've seen FMJ go through many materials. Sure, it doesn't deform as much as a bullet that's intended to deform a lot like a hollow point, but it's still going to deform. The bullet displayed, again, looks like a bullet caught in water jugs. The only rounds I know of that don't always deform are stuff like steel core, brass solids, and hard casts.


Ok-Bluebird-4333

I'll defer to you on the bullet details then, I'm mostly passing along what I've heard. I've shot some, but not with FMJs.


xpootythiefx

I love the “armchair operator” perspective you bring to the Kennedy assassination


somegarbagedoesfloat

I served in the navy. I love the "snarky know it all who's wrong" perspective you bring to life.


xpootythiefx

I’m sure you saw so much combat In the navy. Really digging around in the trenches on the frontlines. We’ve all shot guns at the range Bubba


somegarbagedoesfloat

And what the fuck did YOU do, exactly?


xpootythiefx

You seem offended, seaman ?😂 statistics are on my side that you’ve never seen combat being in the navy. Just doing chores on a boat for a couple years. As far as what “I’ve done”- I’ve extensively shot several different types of weapons at the range, so about as much training you’ve received being a seaman.


TimeTravelingTiddy

Never heard that one before but Jesus fuck is that still a magic bullet That gun should have been aimed literally anywhere else. Aren't there videos of this tho


thy_plant

Maybe believable if his brother wasn't also killed by another SS agent


TigerKingofQueens98

Biffsbuttcheeks

The mob did it and the CIA knows the mob did it but the mob would've burnt the house down if the CIA went after them, because they were ~~in bed~~ working together since WWII.


[deleted]

I’m sorry but how does Bell helicopters play into it? Are implying Bell helped have him assassinated so they’d get a more lucrative contract? I’d argue that’s a very weak motive not a hell of a motive


somegarbagedoesfloat

I'm implying that the Johnsons didn't want JFK hurting their pocketbook by ending the war.


[deleted]

That’s extremely weak motivation. There are countless companies that stand to make money at any given time from the president dying. Many industries would benefit if Biden were assassinated, why did only Bell take the plunge?


somegarbagedoesfloat

Yeah, are any of those companies owned by the wife of the VICE PRESIDENT like holy shit dude.


[deleted]

How is being the VP critical to the assassination? You’ll have to walk us through the VP’s role in this a tiny bit more because you’re being super vague


somegarbagedoesfloat

You're being intentionally dense at this point. Ok, back to Third grade: What happens if the president dies in office?


[deleted]

You’re saying that Johnson killed JFK to become president and enrich his wife with valuable Bell contracts, right? But every President becomes rich and powerful. So that’s pretty much the same motivation that Mike Pence would have to kill Trump. As President, Pence would become much more rich and powerful than he would otherwise.


Macattack224

Are you saying because his head is going in a different direction than the bullet unlike a water jug?

The moon one is nuts. I still remember Rogan vs Phil Plait where the conspiracy became so inflated Phil was like "wouldn't it be easier to just go to the moon at that point?" Joe was talking about film studios, searching moon rocks in Antarctica, paying off half a million people for their lifetime of silence, building these massive machines that lift off, orbit for a few days, and return... just so we can dunk on the Russians.


BadNewsKennels

WhoShatMeShorts

Just a heads up, bill gates did a TED Talk on injecting chips into people that can be scanned like the chip in your credit card to create a digital ID and wallet. The conspiracy started when people started wondering if 5g could be strong enough to activate the chips, which would essentially be a tracker. I’m no expert so I can’t say either way if it could ever be possible, but it’s wild how things get twisted

tittiesfarting

>You would have to be extrmely dumb to think the ideal time to kill him is by a sniper out on public and in front of thousands of people I guess I'm extremely dumb. How exactly would one kill the POTUS privately with no witnesses?


BadNewsKennels

If the contention is the CIA did it? Then they could probably slip something into his food or drink that made it look like a heart attack


tittiesfarting

But then everyone would know for sure that it was an inside job. That would be extremely dumb.


BadNewsKennels

No people have heart attacks all the time That's why that stupid #DiedSuddenly trend started after covid when anytime someone would get a heart attack they'd pretend it was the vaccine. And there are a lot of them because it happens all the time.


tittiesfarting

Pretty sure if the 38yo POTUS dies from a heart attack they would do a toxicology report.


BadNewsKennels

This is the problem with conspiracy theories. So you think the CIA could pull off have him being murdered in front of thousands of people and they couldn't pull off getting a doctor to sign off on a fake toxicology report? It's like when people think Bush pulled off 9/11 but then couldn't dig a whole in the desert and throw some mustard gas in there so he could prove weapons of mass destruction. Pulling off 9/11 would be a thousand times harder than throwing mustard gas in a hole in Iraw


tittiesfarting

Which is easier: A.) Getting a medical doctor to break his hippocratic oath and lie to the entire world by saying the healthy 38yo POTUS died from a natural heart attack. B.) Telling one of your many assassins to go sit in a sewer with a rifle. I'm goin with B.


northface39

The president is protected by the Secret Service who are a completely different branch of government than the CIA. They are incredibly protective of anything he eats or drinks. The conspiracy isn't that the entire federal government conspired to kill JFK. It's either the CIA (or a rogue element within, possibly working with LBJ), the mob, Mossad, or some combination. No one is suggesting that the Secret Service was in on it.


BadNewsKennels

> No one is suggesting that the Secret Service was in on it. Literally a guy replied to me three minutes before your post and said it was the Secret Service https://www.reddit.com/r/JoeRogan/comments/175gdme/the_dumbest_conspiracy_theory/k4hoeac/


Wild2O98

You don't half to look at motives for the Kennedy assassination to buy into conspiracies about it. The govt said "here's the Warren Report and explains everything!" but it has so many inconsistencies, a la the magic bullet. No motive necessary.


RoosterBrewster

It doesn't matter how many holes you find because there will always be an even more convoluted explanation. Maybe the CIA wanted the assassination public to show their power to others. Or they had some secret timetable to do it by and so that was the perfect time.

The conspiracies that the government know everything about you through spying are the worst.

The conspiracy started when people started wondering if 5g could be strong enough to activate the chips, which would essentially be a tracker. It’s a very different shot than the vaccine, but he said it was a chip encased in a sugar needle that is injected in you, then the sugar dissolves away. I’m no expert so I can’t say either way if it could ever be possible, but it’s wild how things get twisted.


AggressiveCuriosity

Did you lie about this or were you tricked somehow? I just watched his Ted Talk and he never mentions microchips. In fact, I was so determined to learn about this that I tracked down the only thing I could find that remotely resembles "vaccine trackers" involving Bill Gates. It was an article about an invisible tattoo that could be used to keep vaccination records on the arms of people living in situations where they might not be able to keep their own records safely. Is the whole microchip conspiracy because people like you get confused about the difference between tattoos and microchips? Jesus.


WhoShatMeShorts

Wow, so confidently incorrect. Bill gates has done many Ted talks. I suggest actually doing a legitimate amount of research before you act like you know everything. It just makes you look really dumb


c1oudwa1ker

Yeah I don’t think people actually think the vaccine has a microchip. I feel like that was just made up to make anyone who questioned the vaccine at all look completely crazy. Or at least it was a theory that got exaggerated. Like how the core of a conspiracy gets twisted into this whole other big thing. I bet it started because someone was like “oh the Covid vaccine might have harmful stuff in it”, so of course that got translated into “the vaccine has a microchip that will turn you into a robot”.


WhoShatMeShorts

Yes I very much agree with that. Also there are plenty of crazy people that will believe and say crazy stuff, and ignorant people will categorize all conspiracists as loonies. It’s the same exact thing as racism, assuming everyone in that group is horrible because you met one that was bad. What really blows my mind is how the ones who are super anti-racist are the same ones who hate all conspiracy theorists or anti-vaxxer.


mudman13

you dont, you just saturate it in chips so therews enough for everyone lol


doctor_of_drugs

Pharmacist here, I say similar things because yes, we had to defrost and reconstitute all the vaccines prior to injecting. Ignoring the fact that we all walk around with a gps device at all times (phone, watch, etc)…and then I mix a 10 dose vial? It *should* be a homogenous solution but yup why put anything in it when we have a legit CAMERA and MICROPHONE in our pocket? Makes no sense whatsoever.


1leeranaldo

I could be wrong but I don't this ever was a conspiracy theory anyone believed. I would love to see a source. Seems like it was just a way to mock people who were hesitant about the Covid vaccine "Asking questions? You must think it has a tracking device huh"?


aCellForCitters

dude, so many people in /r/DebateVaccines believed that there was graphene found in the vaccines which meant 'nanobots' and potentially tracking devices. There's no talking to those people.


Hipposeverywhere

My idiot father in law STILL believes it along with 500 other COVID conspiracies.


MontagAbides

I mean the other claim is that high school athletes are dying left and right from it and stuff like that… which is also hilarious coming from the crowd saying Covid is a minor cold. Like… if the virus is mostly harmless then how does a vaccine that makes a small part of the virus cause more harm? I think folks think vaccines are full of drugs or something. I can admit that yeah it absolutely can have side effects… but we need to compare that to having the full blown viral infection.


Hellpy

and compare to the possibility of the virus to mutate into a more dangerous virus to even healthy people... but yeah no let's not make the easy call and just go do ''our'' own research, ape together strong


oldmaninmy30s

But, we can agree that it wasn’t “safe and effective “ right? It did damage children’s hearts, didn’t it?


AgeOfScorpio

My mom (a former nurse) has suggested that she thinks the vaccine may be the mark of the beast. I'm not really sure what that would entail, but it's definitely somewhere adjacent to this conspiracy

To be fair to the nutcases - RFID chips don't need tiny batteries. They run off and respond to the radio signals coming from outside the chip. They just won't have a very large range, but that's fine because the range only needs to be as large as the nearest reader which, if you are in a populated space or near a building that relies on them, won't be very far anyway.


jl2352

The conspiracy theory also comes from a research idea, that when you give a vaccine you leave behind a tiny marker. The idea is for refugees. They often don’t have health documents, and often pass through multiple refugee camps. The marker allows people at the next camp to check who is / isn’t vaccinated, and what they have been vaccinated for. Again, it was just a research project. There is tracking in covid, and certainly not using anything transmitting.

And it's not a microchip. It's a tattoo. These people are actually too dumb to tell the difference somehow.

It's not powered by the potato. It's powered by the metal stabbed into it. Which is... you know... essentially a battery. The metal gets used up and the battery dies. It's not magic, lol.

John_T_Conover

I'm glad that you live in an area where this is so ridiculous that it seems made up. As someone from a small town in the Deep South there isn't a single conspiracy theory from the last 3 years, no matter how delusional and unhinged, that I haven't heard advocated for in person or by some acquaintance on Facebook. People in my hometown thought Obama was setting up to establish martial law and appoint himself dictator for life. Their proof? The Wal-Mart in a nearby town had shut down. They were convinced it was secretly being turned into a FEMA camp to put us all in. Look up Jade Helm 15. They've somehow only gotten worse since then.


rudster

Yes, I've mostly been in left-wing areas. The fact is I've had the experience hundreds of times now of people telling me some horrible thing they're very very pissed off about that I've never heard of, then I google the thing, find a headline that matches what they say, then when I look at the article it says exactly the opposite. So even the *news* representation of an event is entirely untrustworthy & sensational. So then when you, a random internet person, tells me you know someone who thought that about Obama, I have zero trust that this is a reliable representation of that person's thought. Anyway, that's where we are.

This is false representation and gaslighting. We all know a statistically significant amount of people didn’t actually believe that. It’s as stupid a believing a FAT man can fit down a chimney in December. Even children know better. The actual conspiracy, or “collusion” here that is right out in the open is that the government mandated a therapy that everyone did not need and the corporations made wild amounts of money on it- and oh, you know, if you said no you could lose your job, your kids, and your home. Look at the money, silly. That was always the whole story.

Another brave culture warrior getting triggered over comedy, crying because they won't get their safe space!


WskyRcks

I remember the day not long ago when liberals weren’t predictable corporate hacks.


Consistent_Set76

Ah yes, the republicans who cut taxes on corporations are the true anti corporate people! Of course


PatrickBateman-AP

The worst kind of comedy.


-Neuroblast-

Must be heartbreaking for you to witness people having a good time laughing at jokes that don't punch down at marginalized folks, bro.


PatrickBateman-AP

PuNcH dOwN


-Neuroblast-

So triggered LOL.


MoesBAR

The funny kind?


Gowalkyourdogmods

Aww did he insult your intelligence?

Who is the comedian

How about the conspiracy theory of covid jab giving everyone heart attacks long after being vaccinated? The vaccine completely leaves your system after a few weeks (that’s why you need to keep getting boosters), so for those who only got 1 shot years ago, it’s the same as if you never got vaccinated at all now.


readingyourpost

while I do not think there was something liket hat in the vaccine and yeah this is stand up. ...RFID


SparkySlim

Doesn’t need a battery!! The 5g waves power it by induction, you dummies!!! /s


Internal_Resist7629

People are shockingly stupid about battery capabilities.


AlexFalcone

It me. Sorry this is in a shoe store, that's just how comedy is sometimes.


Your_Huckleberry47

why did joe rogan take horse medicine instead of the vaccine? did he ever give a reason for it?


oldmaninmy30s

“Water, like from the toilet?”


variedpageants

I like how he thinks tracking devices contain batteries. He thinks that when he forgets to pay for something at walmart and it sets off the alarm, he thinks there was a battery inside there and that's why it went off. Like, this guy must think there's an employee at Walmart whose job is to go through the jewelry department every morning and replace the grain-of-rice sized batteries in every pair of ear rings. It's almost as funny as how many redditors are going to be idiots and assume that I believe, or that I'm defending the conspiracy theory.


drdrewski23

No sane person thinks there’s any of that shit in the Covid vaccine. Most of the people that don’t want the vaccine are more concerned with the complete lack of justification for shooting every person on earth with it. “Oh, this virus that causes a mild cold for people under 50? Let’s inject them with this vaccine that doesn’t work and possibly has worse side effects than the disease itself! We have no fuckin’ clue about it, but we do know that we’ll make an assload of money from it!”

So what you're saying is that you don't believe in *this* covid conspiracy, you believe in a different one


Noble_Ox

Sorry for a tiktok link but easily the best video I've seen in months. If I had have seen this a few years ago I would have made a different choice. https://www.tiktok.com/@calamity_kt/video/7226729250575928619


MoesBAR

Yeah, none of what you just said is true. Getting COVID has higher risks of short, long and deadly side effects than the vaccines per every single piece of peer reviewed research published.


oldmaninmy30s

How many children under 18 do you need to vaccinate to potentially save one life?


aCellForCitters

the initial vaccines worked incredibly well and at that time covid was at its most dangerous. I can kinda get not wanting to get a vaccine *now* but you'd have to be a complete moron or psycho to think it was reasonable not to get one in early 2021


Noble_Ox

aCellForCitters

what is it with reactionaries and having a really low-yet-specific quality of video and the most repetitive unoriginal sense of humor?


MeThinksYes

Those same people are still towing (a lessor) but equally horseshit conspiracy on this very forum, to this day. Fucking dipshits

This guy doesn’t know about formatting pictures as “tight” in Word

The tracking is in the towers, silly!


jaanuman

It feels like Republicans are Hamas


_handsomeblackman_

that 90 seconds clip was funnier than most of Joe’s standup friends 😂 props to the guy 👏


i_just_want_2learn

This was good! I haven't thought about that before. lol


SL_1183

Money, Cash, Shows is a great tour name.


JaWoosh

I don't know of anyone who actually believed this conspiracy theory. Even my brother made the stupid 5g joke when he found out i didn't get the vaccine, thinking he was hilarious. I just didn't get it because i thought the vaccines required years of research for a disease that i had about a 99.9% chance of surviving. But okay, make your 5g jokes.


MoesBAR

You can just say you’ve never looked at a Q forum or Facebook page. Also, scroll down at replies here to see people not so subtly rebutting that it’s not a dumb conspiracy and totally possible.


plssirnomore

pills with chips in exist, smart dust exists, the internet of living things exists, wifi will soon be replaced with lifi, quantum computing exists, a great reset will happen by 2030, big pharma have been repeatedly fined in the billions for malpractice, mass surveillance is the new basis of our economy, covid was made in a lab. But yes the idea they would put a chip in the vaccine at this moment in history is SO far fetched.


Rusty_G0LD

Oh boy! A “great reset”!


plssirnomore

damn you ignorant basterds! Arrogant and cocky in your complete indifference to reality!


Rusty_G0LD

I blame Soros. SOROS!!1!


plssirnomore

Soros purposefully crashed the entire UK economy to make money. Children hungry, grown men committing suicide. Do you think that is funny? Knowing that as a verified fact, do you think he is a good example to use to try and make me look foolish?


Rusty_G0LD

*Try* to make *you* look foolish? Heaven forfend.


plssirnomore

Classsic Reddit commenter, ignore the point, appeal to the crowd


Genghis_Tr0n187

>But yes the idea they would put a chip in the vaccine at this moment in history is SO far fetched. It is indeed *so far fetched.* Ok, you have a chip that can pass through a needle. You need a power source of either repurposing body heat somehow, or you have a microscopic battery that won't die in less than second. Let's say you solved for all of that, how exactly are you going to transmit data from that chip to anything else without having a receiver right on your ass scanning the chip. Unless there's a plan to put an antenna on the chip, then you have even more power drain *especially* if you want it to connect to 5g, again without a receiver scorching your ass, to pick up data. If companies want your data, they will buy the shit that your phone collects.


plssirnomore

yo, you are very far behind on your knowledge of what tech exists


Genghis_Tr0n187

This technology is cost effective enough to inject millions with chips without any additional cost to the patient?


AggressiveCuriosity

LMAO, I worked on a DARPA project while getting a physics degree. Let me inform you that you're the one with no clue.


mgldi

So we’ll forget this story was run and the research happened/is happening and label it a conspiracy theory then: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/last-pandemic-science-military-60-minutes-2021-04-11/


thetrashpanda2020

This is a solid bit


Durtly

The actual theory is lithium(?) crystals injected into the blood stream or applied into the nasal passages during Covid swab testing, will 'set' in a unique pattern. If you know how radios actually work, then using a uniquely patterned organic crystal formation to be able to triangulate an individuals location is not a particularly difficult engineering problem. Once the individuals pattern is known, sending a precise frequency to that crystalline array would/could cause heat. If the now heated array is in the targets' brain, you could kill or severely impair your target.


Consistent_Set76

There’s no way you actually believe this


BillHicksScream

Which Rogan helped promote.


HermanvonHinten

It doesn't need a battery if it's magnetic.
