BREAKING: Murica has a secret base on the Moon.
Quote:A US Army official may have accidentally dropped what some are calling the 'greatest Freudian slip ever.'
US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll was enthusiastically promoting the Army's upcoming 250th anniversary parade, set to take place in Washington DC this Saturday, when he said America has a soldier stationed on the moon.
'The country gets to see all of the amazing things that the Army has done,' he said, 'whether it's helping with floods in North Carolina, or wildfires in California, or we talked to an astronaut yesterday who's on the moon, who's a soldier.'
The remark made during a live FOX News interview was brief, with no follow-up details, but it did not take long for social media to ignite with speculation.
'Did he just slip up? Is it more Pentagon disinformation? That is quite the statement to make,' one user wrote on X.
Others speculated whether the US military is quietly expanding its presence in space amid growing competition with Russia and China for supremacy.
Some recalled that the US once proposed building a military lunar base during the Cold War.
But Driscoll's comments were likely reccounting the discussion with McClain on Monday, which she shared her life aboard the orbiting lab and her pride in serving both NASA and the Army.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries.

Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

It's hard to miss today's conspiracy
Quote:Conspiracy theories about Minnesota shooter aren't just deflection. They're dangerous
According to the New York Times, Boelter's roommate and longtime friend says the suspected shooter voted for Donald Trump. Boelter's online activities show he is a right-wing Christian who opposes abortion and denies that LGBTQ identities are real. While we don't yet have the text of the manifesto Boelter left behind, it's fairly obvious what's likely to be in it.
Despite these facts, it didn't take long for MAGA forces online to snap into action with a false counter-narrative: that Boelter is a left-winger and Republicans are the real victims. Trump's traveling companion Laura Loomer falsely claimed Boelter "was friends with Walz" and was associated with the "No Kings" protests. "The organizers of NO KINGS and @GovTimWalz need to be detained by the FBI and interrogated," she demanded.
Dating "guru"-turned-MAGA influencer Mike Cernovich also blamed Walz, claiming the governor had Hortman — who was actually Walz's friend — "executed" for voting one time with Republicans on a bill. "MORE DEMOCRAT TERR0RISM!" screamed Nick Sortor, a far right influencer with over a million followers on X. Glenn Beck, Breitbart and other far-right outlets went to work on Facebook, suggesting to their audiences that Walz was responsible for the shooting, even though he was on the list of Boelter's targets. Charlie Kirk of Turning Points USA blamed the shooting of Democratic lawmakers and their family members on anyone who objects to rising fascism.
The first purpose of these disinformation efforts is, of course, to muddy the waters so that people with conservative inclinations, who may still abhor political violence, have a rationale to keep supporting Trump. On Facebook, liberals posting about the shooting are already seeing confused friends and relatives show up in their comments, asserting a connection between Boelter and Walz that isn't there. But the other potential effect of these conspiracy theories, whether intended or not, is to encourage more political violence from the right.
The Boelter conspiracy theory is pure DARVO: Deny he was a Trump supporter, call Democrats liars and say that actually, it's Democrats who are killing Republicans. Even though the victims of this attack are very much Democrats, the pretzel logic of DARVO leads to outlandish efforts to find a stray vote or two not on the Democratic party line to recast the offenders as "Republicans."
The same strategy was used by MAGA thought leaders to justify the violence of Jan. 6, as well as the attempted kidnapping and murder of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. in Oct. 2022. Conspiracy theories blaming the "deep state" for the Capitol riot, and not the MAGA rioters, gave Trump the cover he needed to recast the insurrectionists as "warriors" and heroes, granting them all pardons. Pelosi was not home when her would-be attacker invaded, but he nearly killed her husband, Paul Pelosi. Rather than admit the assailant was motivated by MAGA conspiracy theories, much of the right went straight to DARVO, falsely claiming that Paul Pelosi brought the attack on himself. Trump used that conspiracy theory for "jokes," unsubtly signaling to his base that he would enjoy seeing more attacks like this. Which is what appears to have happened in Minnesota over the weekend.

I spent a couple of hours yesterday debunking those claims about Boelter and Walz on Facebook.

CNN has made a story about UFO believers conference called Contact in the Desert, where the main topic is Donald Trump. They believe that Trump will reveal the alien presence on Earth because he seeks political glory and there's no bigger glory than that of disclosing aliens.

Since Trump will immediately deport those aliens, he won't even have to prove they really existed. Habeas Corpus!

Now if they can just convince Trump of that. He's done the whole POTUS thing, so starting a cult would be his next career move.

Fine, converted all his little redcaps into an honest religion. Praise Lord Trump and pass the Kool-Aid.

FBI Director Ignites Claims of Bonkers Conspiracy Theory
Five years since Donald Trump lost the White House after his first term, Patel says his agency has found documents detailing “alarming allegations”—including claims of foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party.
The claim—which is likely to set MAGA world into another “rigged election” frenzy—suggests that the CCP had plans to mass produce fake U.S. driver’s licenses and ship them to America.
Fake voter identities for Chinese residents living in the U.S. would then be created for the sole purpose of voting with phony mail-in ballots.
Former FBI director Chris Wray headed the agency at that stage, and had testified that there were no known plots of foreign interference to rig the election for Biden.
