Immigrants are out to eat your pets and only the guy who ran a fake university can save them.

Prominent conservatives are blaming recent immigration from Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat.

The only problem? The woman has lived in America for the past six years.

The allegations arose over the weekend after right-wing users on social media discovered that a 27-year-old woman was charged last month with injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals, and disorderly conduct.

The woman, Canton resident Allexis Telia Ferrell, reportedly “stomped on the cat’s head to kill the animal before eating it in a residential area in front of multiple people” on Aug. 16, according to Fox News.

The footage also caught the attention of far-right influencer Charlie Kirk, who argued that Haitians were reportedly eating people’s pets all across the country.

Conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec also weighed in on the topic by asking Grok, Elon Musk’s AI, if laws in Haiti prohibited the consumption of cats.

“There are no laws in Haiti about eating cats,” he said quoting the response.

The rumor even led to an influx of AI-generated memes, including one from Cheong in which former President Donald Trump saves cats from Haitian men in the Ohio city of Springfield.

In the wake of the two stories, other conservative influencers shared unverified screenshots from alleged social media channels in Springfield, claiming residents knew about and other animals “stolen” by immigrants.

Springfield Police, in a statement, said it has not received any reports about missing pets.

And despite the claims, no evidence suggests that the woman in question is an illegal immigrant from Haiti.

Melania Trump suggests conspiracy theory about husband's assassination attempt

Melania Trump spread conspiracy theories around the apparent assassination attempt against her husband as she promoted her forthcoming memoir.

"The attempt on my husband's life was a horrible, distressing experience," Trump says in the video. "Now the silence around it feels heavy. I can't help but wonder, why didn't law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely more to the story, and we need to uncover the truth."

The video then shows an image of her self-titled book, although it's not clear if its contents touch on the July 13 shooting, and invites viewers to order a copy online.

A House bipartisan task force is investigating the shooting that left a Trump supporter dead and the former president with a gunshot wound to his right ear, and lawmakers are focusing on communication problems between the Secret Service and law enforcement that allowed 20-year-old Thomas Crooks to climb onto the roof of a building and fire off shots.

Another grifter ready to take the money from the gullible.

Another UFO Boss to Break Silence in Major Book Deal: “The Process of Disclosure Has Begun”

Another high-ranking government official who investigated UFOs/UAPs is ready to tell their story.

Jay Stratton, the former director of the U.S. government’s secretive Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, has struck a memoir deal with HarperCollins. Stratton represents the most senior former U.S government official yet to go public about their direct involvement in the investigation of UAP and non-human intelligence.

For over 16 years, Stratton worked as a senior intelligence official, leading countless U.S. government investigations of UAP and non-human intelligence, including the “Tic Tac” UAP encountered by Navy fighter pilots and the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group in 2004. While much of Stratton’s work is classified, the memoir promises to reveal “all that can be lawfully disclosed, providing a first-hand account of the shocking discoveries, challenges and breakthroughs that have marked the U.S. government’s investigation and understanding of UAP and non-human intelligence, as well as the effects on Stratton and his family.”

In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Stratton said, “We are at the beginning of a new chapter for humanity. The process of disclosure is complex but it has begun.”

The book was developed with producer Dan Farah of Farah Films (Ready Player One, The Phenomenon), who also has TV and film rights. Recently, Farah was also behind another memoir, Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs by Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former senior intelligence official. That title shot to No. 1 on the best-seller list after its release last month.

What Are Nova H1 Audio Earrings? Kamala Harris Conspiracy Spreads Online

The conspiracy theory says that Harris was wearing a set of Nova H1 Audio Earrings, created by German startup NOVA Products, during the first presidential debate between the vice president and Donald Trump. It was hosted by ABC News at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia on September 10.

The clip-on earrings, according to the startup's Kickstarter page, "are placed on the earlobes and project the sound from inside the pearl straight into your ear canal." It adds that "two tiny high-end microphones are integrated into each Earring providing the user with crystal clear phone calls and wind-noise cancellation."

This is not the first time conspiracy theories have circulated about hidden communications during presidential debates. Similar claims were made about Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, specifically after a televised forum called the Commander-in-Chief Forum on September 7, 2016.

There is now a chatbot that dissuades people from believing in conspiracies. So, if you believe in some conspiracy, visit that chatbot for help.

This Chatbot Pulls People Away From Conspiracy Theories

In a new study, many people doubted or abandoned false beliefs after a short conversation with the DebunkBot.

DebunkBot, an A.I. chatbot designed by researchers to “very effectively persuade” users to stop believing unfounded conspiracy theories, made significant and long-lasting progress at changing people’s convictions, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal Science.

Indeed, false theories are believed by up to half of the American public and can have damaging consequences, like discouraging vaccinations or fueling discrimination.

The new findings challenge the widely held belief that facts and logic cannot combat conspiracy theories. The DebunkBot, built on the technology that underlies ChatGPT, may offer a practical way to channel facts.

Until now, conventional wisdom held that once someone fell down the conspiratorial rabbit hole, no amount of arguing or explaining would pull that person out.

But Dr. Costello and his colleagues wondered whether there might be another explanation: What if debunking attempts just haven’t been personalized enough?

Since conspiracy theories vary so much from person to person — and each person may cite different pieces of evidence to support one’s ideas — perhaps a one-size-fits-all debunking script isn’t the best strategy.

A chatbot that can counter each person’s conspiratorial claim of choice with troves of information might be much more effective, the researchers thought.

To test that hypothesis, they recruited more than 2,000 adults across the country, asked them to elaborate on a conspiracy that they believed in and rate how much they believed it on a scale from zero to 100.

People described a wide range of beliefs, including theories that the moon landing had been staged, that Covid-19 had been created by humans to shrink the population, and that President John F. Kennedy had been killed by the Central Intelligence Agency.

One participant, for example, believed the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an “inside job” because jet fuel couldn’t have burned hot enough to melt the steel beams of the World Trade Center. The chatbot responded:

“It is a common misconception that the steel needed to melt for the World Trade Center towers to collapse,” it wrote. “Steel starts to lose strength and becomes more pliable at temperatures much lower than its melting point, which is around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit.”

After three exchanges, which lasted about eight minutes on average, participants rated how strongly they felt about their beliefs again.

On average, their ratings dropped by about 20 percent; about a quarter of participants no longer believed the falsehood. The effect also spilled into their attitudes toward other poorly supported theories, making the participants slightly less conspiratorial in general.

I gave it a spin to see if it could talk me about on my lack of belief in gawd, but it wound up agreeing that my lack of belief was well founded and logical. 

[The Grand Nudger]

If 9/11 truthers were the test pool then the devs were leveraging low hanging fruit. I bet I could show alot of success convincing people who believe in the trash monster that the trash monster isn't real, too. Don't get me wrong, cool as shit..but if the best a machine can do is talk you out of a thing a machine talked you into.....

Kamala Harris was given debate questions??

Dude, those are standard questions for presidential debates. I've seen people on YouTube debating what will they give as answers for these questions days before the debate.

On Sunday, US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene took to her X, formerly Twitter, profile to inform her social media followers that the self-proclaimed whistleblower, who previously alleged that the Harris vs Trump ABC debate was rigged, had supposedly died in a car crash.

“The ABC whistleblower who claimed Kamala Harris was given debate questions ahead of the debate has died in a car crash according to news reports,” she tweeted on September 15

Greene did not tag any credible confirmations or reliable reports along with her SNS post. However, the brief tweet did the trick and incited an online tug-of-war, with some netizens putting on their sleuth caps and others going off on tangents and fuelling conspiracy theories.
