Stef's Blog - a native London Southlander and unrepentant 'Conspiraloon™' who doesn't trust anyone, not even himself. Sometimes I take pictures. I also enjoy swearing immensely and think much faster than I can type, so each post comes guaranteed to include at last one confusing typo. OK?
I met him whilst walking in the fresh, crispy mountains of Italy last week. I think it's what the locals call a 'Ghiro' - in English a 'Fat Dormouse'.
Conspiracy fans will be delighted to learn that the fat dormouse was introduced to the UK a 100 hundred years ago by Lord Rothschild...
"Their nickname is the Seven Sleepers as they hibernate for seven months of the year. Walter Rothschild, who later became the second Baron Rothschild, brought the first six Glis Glis to England in 1902. No-one knows exactly how, but they escaped into the wild from the Rothschild home at Tring Park and have spread and bred! However, instead of happily hibernating out of doors they moved inside for the English winter! Soon, local farmers were complaining of apple stores being ruined and local people were hearing unexplained bumps in the night ... a sure sign that the Glis Glis were making themselves quite at home in the attic. One woman was convinced she was going mad!"
This was clearly a pioneering act of primitive bioterrorism, though how fat dormice fit in exactly with the global banking conspiracy, the foundation of Israel, freemasonry and space aliens is still not 100% clear to me

And because I'm more than a little bit sad, all the walking I've been doing here and in my Mothersland and my encounters with fat dormice, amusingly-shaped mushrooms (another time, another photo) and all sorts of other livings things in their natural environment, I've been pondering upon the 'Genius of Darwin' as much as ever - especially the impact of Darwinism on the way people think
As it happens, whether Darwin was right or wrong about the Evolution of Life makes virtually bugger all difference to most people's daily lives.However, Darwinism has affected the way people interpret tangible events that do impact on their daily lives
Before Darwinism and the Enlightenment, most people believed that someone, or some entity, was responsible for everything that happened. The weather, the outcome of battles, the shape of tea leaves in a cup, the throw of some dice; all was the Will of some god or other.
There was no such thing as chance. Everything that happened was the predetermined outcome of a controlling intelligence
After Darwin, it was considered very clever to believe that everything of any importance or scale was the result of blind chance. Any pattern of events that appeared to be result of design was simply the result of blind chance combined with some kind of selection mechanism
The result was that, in the act of denying the Hand of God in natural affairs, Darwinism also had the consequence of denying the Hand of Man in human affairs
Anyone who suggests that the course of human, or natural affairs, may be the result of the interplay of intelligent planning and the natural selection of random events is now branded an irrational religious lunatic or a conspiracy theorist
Shit just happens
and if you don't believe that Shit just happens then you're only fit for the Funny Farm
Because I'm a Loon I believe that the promotion of this kind of thinking, as an essentially exclusive model to explain how the world works, was an entirely deliberate course of action - but I would wouldn't I
If you would like to witness a nice example of what I'm talking about, the mainstream coverage of the recent financial turmoil is a nice case history
The unwavering message of the mainstream coverage of the 'Credit Crunch' is...
The impending implosion of our financial system is an unintended consequence of unreasoning, animalistic, undirected greed and fear
No-one could have predicted it
There is no predetermined objective
The people responsible for our great financial institutions are honestly trying to unfuck things as best as they can for the Common Good
The possibility that the crisis could have been deliberately engineered in some way, and that some very clever, powerful people knew exactly what was going to happen, is deemed so unlikely it is not raised even to be debunked
Presumably, the fact that so many On-line Conspiranauts have been predicting this crash for years, in accordance with their insane models of how the world really works, is merely blind luck
And if all those CCTV cameras, databases, terrorism laws and detention infrastructure are turned towards, instead of the shadowy terrorists, a general public fucked-off with being robbed blind that will be an unintended outcome too
I’m posting this by way of response to an increasingly turgid thread of comments underneath one of Lord Patel’s recent posts
This exchange is part of what is, on a national scale, a storm in a teacup but what is in the corner of the Internet I inhabit a significant flurry of activity which has coincided with the current round of terror show trials taking place in the UK
The Wrath of Khan aka How to report a video of a man telling his baby daughter to be strong before he travels overseas as evidence of him ‘grooming’ her to be a terrorist before exploding himself in London
The thread in question is punctuated by a series of anonymous comments which set out to put us Conspiraloons in our place by the devastating, original and side-splittingly funny combination of -
Calling us mad
Talking about tinfoil hats a lot
Putting words in our mouths and telling us what we believe
And, er, some more really hysterical stuff about tinfoil hats
...possibly all part of some cunning plan to rid the world of (unofficial) 'conspiracy theorists' by boring us all to death
though, peculiarly, anonymong forgets to mention that we are all nazi racists – which appears to be the meme of month. A simple oversight I’m sure
Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t spend any more time than I already have responding to this stuff. The poster in question is unlikely to undergo a Damascene conversion to my worldview and he’s not providing any useful insights that would allow me to scrutinise and maybe consider modifying it
Tedious shit like this is a common occurrence on the Internet and Life is just too plain fucking short
However, as I mentioned, there’s other stuff going on at the moment and one particular group of citizen researchers over at J7T must be doing something right as so many other groups - the BBC, do nothing Leftie bloggers, 9/11 debunkers and even many 9/11 UK 'Truthers' are attempting to distract their efforts and smear them using some of the cheapest tricks you're ever likely to see
The most popular cheap trick seems to be trying to associate us with fringe or extremist characters with questionable or repugnant views.
In particular, one character over at the 9/11 UK forum cut and pasted some tired old holocaust revisionist material, published it in his own name, started pissing in the pool of 7/7 research, gave interviews to a BBC production team doing a conspiracy theorist debunking piece and then acted all surprised when things started to go tits up on him
The guy’s either a self-destructive tool or some kind of shill and in no way representative of the 7/7 sceptics I align myself with. A man with his views could have just as easily been found supporting the Official Narrative of 7/7 and promoting Protocols of the Elders Islam style bullshit. Anyone who pretends otherwise is being intellectually dishonest
Another group of characters ‘debunkers’ attempt to associate me and my kind with is the UFO, Alien, Tinfoil Hat brigade
Again, an intellectually dishonest ploy which indicates that the people employing it at least subconsciously realise that they’re talking crap and are forced to put words in our mouths and beliefs in our heads that they are capable of arguing against and which we have no interest in defending
It is a very strange, surreal feeling indeed trying to debate with someone who persistently tells you what you believe and then starts ranting, all foamy-mouthed, against it.
There’s also something quite sinister, and Stalinist, about someone repeatedly referring to you as being mentally ill for having beliefs they disagree with
A recent self-portrait
In the comment thread which prompted this post, reference is made to the Conspiraloon Alliance blog a few of us set up the last year. The intention of the blog was to demonstrate that some of us at least are capable of exercising critical thinking to nonsense conspiracy bollocks as well as official narratives. A capacity for unblinkered, self-corrective thought which is evidently lacking in those who abuse us. This has occasionally resulted in some delightfully confused ‘truth seekers’ and debunkers alike stumbling onto our site and getting completely the wrong end of the stick.
(Something similar may have happened on my Elvis post earlier this week. I’m not sure if it was a joking friend or a critic but someone pulled me up for getting the background and the fake timestamp on my fake photo wrong. Er, no I didn’t, it was a parody of the Luton CCTV image and thanks for bowling me such an easy ball in the comments. I do hope it was a genuine critic - misplaced intellectual arrogance is one of my favourite spectator sports)
Polarising debate about how the world works into two mutually exclusive, all encompassing camps – one of which believes that there are no conspiracies, the other which believes any old shite Icke or Shayler come out with is a false dichotomy and disenfranchises the vast majority of people who do give a damn about what’s going on in the world
We Conspiraloons are neither with You nor against You. We totally reject Your false choice bullshit.
Much of this nonsense I attribute to the frailties of human nature, not deliberate disinformation. There’s a turf war for people’s minds going on out there and the numbers of people who view the world in the kind of way I do is growing and very few, if any people, will turn back once they’ve adopted that new paradigm.
This, I suspect, is alarming some people. Some people in authority but also some people who believe that only they know the One True Truth and that anyone who does not yield to their Truth, and their authority must be insane scum
This turf war involves all sorts of characters – some of whom are the same kind of mockney, donkey dick jacket wearing, middle class leftie tossers I first met at university; affecting the mannerisms and airs of a class of people they fundamentally despise.
"Hello, we're Left Wing don't you know'
Others are parapolitical dinosaurs who still haven’t quite caught up with the impact of the Internet and miss the days when their turgid but beloved newsletters were one of the few sources of alternative news and views. I mention that second small group, as typified by this site, because I suspect the anonymous commentator on Lord P’s blog hails from that sad, lonely, tumbleweed-infested corner of Infospace
Notes from a Ghost Town
If you look outside of the English speaking world a large number of people already think the way we Conspiraloons do. They’ve had their countries and lives comprehensively fucked by the interests and forces I believe are at work here in Europe and the US. They know who the real lunatics, racists and nazis are and the games those bastards play
The bottom line is that the people I stand with, imperfect and fallible as we all are, at least try be honest. Many of those who stand against us patently don't

A parting thought…
Whilst I was discussing the recent round of abuse and smearing that has been directed our way with fellow loons, someone mentioned that the most memorable insult they’d received was the accusation that they were a…
Now the thing is, I’ve met this ghoulish hyena in the flesh and that person is the least ghoulish, least hyena-like individual you’d could possibly imagine
And I was reminded of the public execution of John Charles de Menezes
From the day it happened it was clear that official statements about what happened were untrue and were subsequently shown to be untrue – as demonstrated by this cringefest of a Muppet outside Stockwell Tube faithfully parroting everything she had been told to believe…
and we still haven’t the faintest idea what really happened – surveillance tapes from JCdM’s home and Stockwell have been disappeared, the executioners and the witnesses who made misleading statements to the press immediately after the shooting have not appeared in court, no explanation has been given for chasing the train driver down a tunnel and holding a gun to his face, and so on
On top of that, I haven’t forgotten the establishment-promoted smears that were heaped on de Menezes' still-warm corpse after his execution
He was definitely linked to terrorists. He was running (sic.) because he had a hooky visa. He was coked up. He was an accused rapist…
So, who are the hyenas who are shitting on the graves of the dead again?
I shit on all of you

edit: and cheers to Alex Fear for reminding me of this peculiar little Damones-esque clip from The Bourne Ultimatum...
If States and Corporations put fluoride in your water, learn to love it, it's good for you.
And it always struck me as peculiar that a fully paid-up conspiraloon like Kubrick would so effectively damn anyone who has conceptual problems with drinking poison
Thanks to including a fluoride-obsessed nutcase, who is responsible for the destruction of the entire world, in such an excellent film Kubrick helped to kick objections to fluoridisation into touch for the next forty years
And because of Strangelove and because (most) British water supplies didn’t have fluorine-based crap dumped into them, most people in the UK haven’t been too concerned about the fluoride thing
Maybe we should now
Those twunts Gordon Brown and Alan Johnson are set on making fluoridisation of our water compulsory and are putting public money into promoting it
The almost perfect coincidence of timing with a government drive to do away with bottled wateris, no doubt, entirely accidental
Even if the people who have campaigned passionately against fluoridisation of water for decades are wrong and fluoride doesn’t fuck up peoples' bones, brain chemistry and teeth, it defies common sense to believe that forcing the entire population to swallow a chemical just to prevent holes in kids' teeth, a chemical which is only supposed to work when applied externally anyway, is a good idea
Of course, the really interesting question is why do so many people in authority have such a hard-on for involuntarily medicating us all through our water supply?
Anyway, here’s a 30 minute long introduction to the Fluoridisation issue. It’s the best of the dissident material out there that I’ve seen to date and covers such amusing subjects as Edward Bernays ( = total c^nt) and the manufacture of consent, how to dispose of otherwise hard to handle industrial toxic waste by making people drink it, and the fine art of neutralising legitimate, science-based objections by using the power of the media to smear objectors as lunatics…
And here’s another film which isn’t anywhere near as comprehensive but does feature some superb Australasian accents
And if all this talk of fluoride, aspartame and all that other toxic filth governments and corporations are putting into our food and water for our benefit (a doped brain is a happy brain) really does scare the daylights out of you why not consider drawing those harmful toxins out of your body through your feet?

PS
A top quote from the New Scientist at the end of this Q&A page on rumours about armies sticking compounds of that other fun halogen, bromine, into soldiers' tea…
“In the 19th century, bromide salts were used widely as sedatives to treat everything from epilepsy to sleeplessness. The bromide salts were said to "reduce the excitability of the brain". The normal dose was between 5 and 30 grains, which were taken several times a day (there are about 13 grains per gram). In the 19th century it was common for children of the upper classes to be flattered by the gift of a personal salt cellar for use at meals. They were led to believe this indicated their increasing status within the family group. The salt was in fact mixed with bromide to make the child better behaved.
Bromides are a sedative and the libido reduction is a side-effect. The use of bromide salts as a sleeping draught appears in the novels of Emile Zola, indicating their effects were recognised at some time in the 19th century.”
A few weeks ago I made a couple of posts critical of a dodgy ‘Truth’ video about ‘what really happened’ (sic.) on 7/7 which was being pushed heavily on the Internet
I mentioned at the time that other things were going on which made that already dubious film even more suspect
In the space of a few days at the end of last year…
Families of 7/7 victims were sent unsolicited copies of coroner’s reports detailing the injuries suffered by their loved ones
That deeply flawed 7/7 video, produced by a self-proclaimed Messiah, appeared on the Internet. Unsolicited copies of the video were sent to the families of 7/7 victims
The BBC started sniffing around July 7th Truth Forum and attempted to lure/ entice/ cajole key members into participating in a serious investigation (sic.) into the anomalies and questions arising from the Official Narrative of 7/7. Only it is not a serious investigation, it is an episode of the BBC’s Conspiracy Files
plus some other stuff I can't go into :(
The four episodes of Conspiracy Files aired to date have been tediously formulaic, mendacious hit pieces, laden with the kind of meaningless, increasingly tired, establishment-serving psychobabble that can be found on this page
The formula employed by Conspiracy Files and similar shows includes the following elements:
depiction of anyone who doubts ‘Official Narratives’ as being plain bonkers and in need of a good strong dose of psikhushka– facilitated through selective editing of what those people have to say and application of the kind of camera angles, lighting and soundtracks more usually associated with horror movies
Typical Conspiracy Theorist - identified as being mentally unwell by the State Broadcasting Company
accusations that ‘theorists’ are racist and insensitive to the feelings of survivors and victims’ families
a really, really ...really sneering and patronising tone to the narrator's voice as a subliminal prompt whenever a 'conspiracy theorist' is on screen
presentation of carefully hand-picked genuine 24 carat nutters, stoners and/or shills as being the ‘leading spokespeople’ for a particular ‘conspiracy theory’
a deliberate confusion between valid concerns about parapolitical activity and outright fantasy, achieved through working in references to nonsense about Alien UFOs, Elvis sightings and the like
blatantly ignoring or misrepresenting key questions posed by ‘theorists’
misrepresentation of people who simply have questions about ‘Official Narratives’ as being 'theorists'. Suspecting and having evidence that someone is lying to you is not the same thing as making up a competing fairytale of your own.
These tricks and devices are so blatant, so cliched and so calculated that it’s nigh on impossible to accept that they are played unconsciously or in good faith
The whores who make these shows know full well what they are doing
Anyway, much to the probable surprise of the BBC, which presumably is accustomed to people just wetting their pants at the opportunity to be misrepresented and slandered on national television, J7T has just told the makers of the Conspiracy Files to go fuck themselves
Well done folks
No doubt, given half a chance, the Once and Future King of England and maker of 7/7 Ripple EffectLord Muad’dib of Canvey Island will show no such reluctance to appear in the show but that’s probably what he’s there for
If you have any interest in the events of 7/7 I strongly recommend reading J7T’s detailed rebuttal to the BBC on the J7T website.
Integrity and honesty are such rare commodities these days
and I certainly wouldn't start looking for any in the BBC
Shameless Fucker Centrale aka The State Broadcasting Company

edit: and thanks to Alex F. for bringing up the subject of the BBC's Jane Standley reporting the collapse of WTC7 on 9/11, almost half an hour before it actually collapsed...
Jane shows impeccable comic timing by first announcing the collapse and then standing to one side to reveal an embarrassingly intact WTC7 for all the world to see...
Anyone who has watched the footage of Jane from that afternoon through will also have noticed the equally impeccable timing of her signal being suddenly lost mid-sentence only a few seconds before WTC7 really was brought down - avoiding any risk of the anchorman back in London feeling obliged to say 'Excuse me Jane, but I think a building has just fallen down behind you'
I think I can predict with some confidence that this footage will never make it onto any episodes of Auntie Beeb's Most Hilarious!! TV Blunders or even the Conspiracy Files (edit: or maybe it will?)
