If this doesn't turn into a conspiracy theory, I quit. But then again, for some reason, there is rarely any conspiracy about Putin or Xi.

The authoritarian strongmen Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have mused on how organ transplants might lead to immortality, during a brief exchange of small talk caught on a hot mic at a military parade.

While they made their way towards a raised platform in Tiananmen Square, Putin’s interpreter could be heard saying in Chinese: “Biotechnology is continuously developing.”

After a brief inaudible passage, the interpreter added: “Human organs can be continuously transplanted. The longer you live, the younger you become, and [you can] even achieve immortality.”

Xi, who was off camera, could be heard responding in Chinese: “Some predict that in this century humans may live to 150 years old.”

I can't wait for Tuesday when the congress will finally reveal the truth about the aliens who have been visiting Earth for millions of years, in the span of which they created us by manipulating ape DNA, built pyramids, led Columbus to America, abducted cows, and made crop circles, and how the US government hid all of that from us.

The truth is out there: Congress to hold hearings on UFOs

A House task force focused on government transparency announced it will hold a hearing next week concerning unidentified aerial phenomena, (UAPs) another name for unidentified flying objects (UFOs).

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said in a statement on Wednesday that the panel will push for "maximum transparency" from the government.

“The American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions, and examinations of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to Americans’ safety,” she said.

She went on to say that "whistleblowers who provide details on spending information and policies and procedures regarding the classification and declassification of UAPs should be able to do so without retribution."

The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday in Washington, D.C. and will be streamed online.

The witnesses expected to testify at the hearing include Air Force veterans Jeffrey Nuccetelli and Dyland Borland as well as Navy veteran Alexandro Wiggins, who has previously discussed witnessed UAPs. Journalist George Knapp, a prominent figure in the UFO disclosure community and frequent guest on the alien and paranormal-focused overnight radio show Coast to Coast AM, is also scheduled to speak.

What Is Dead Internet Theory? ChatGPT Boss Sam Altman Hints At Truth Behind Conspiracy

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has suggested that the death internet theory may not be a conspiracy theory anymore owing to the rise of bot accounts on X (formerly Twitter). Despite having previously disbelieved the theory, Mr Altman, the creator of one of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, ChatGPT, suggested that there may be some truth in it.

“I never took the dead internet theory that seriously but it seems like there are really a lot of LLM-run Twitter accounts now,” Mr Altman wrote on X.

Dead-internet theory is a conspiracy theory suggesting that the internet has been almost entirely taken over by AI models and autonomous machines. The profiles and the accounts you interact with on social media are, in fact, just bots. The theory adds that users are barely interacting with humans and that everything online is just a machine-maintained illusion, almost like "The Matrix".

How eating insects became a conspiracy theory

Today many people in Latin America, Asia and Africa consume insects regularly. In Mexico, for example, boiled and fried grasshoppers, "chapulines", are a popular bar snack and increasingly served in gourmet restaurants.

But not everyone's biting. Though insects have long been considered inexpensive, healthy and sustainable sources of protein, they remain largely absent from American and European diets.

In recent years, this reluctance has been exacerbated by a web of conspiracy theories claiming that "global elites" are forcing the public to abandon meat in favour of bugs.

Aniano, who has been researching this theory at the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism for years, says it neatly fits into existing fears about the "depraved decline of Western civilisation". What began as a semi-sardonic meme on an online forum has now seeped into the fringes of politics in both Europe and the US.

In the Netherlands, Thierry Baudet, lawmaker and leader of the far-right Forum for Democracy party, gave an anti-European Union (EU) speech in March 2023, yelling, "No way!" as he poured golden mealworms out of a bag. Baudet later posted a photo of that moment on X, with the caption "WE WILL NOT EAT THE BUGS".

Lega per Salvini Premier, an Italian far-right party, paid for a billboard in Conegliano, Italy, with the words, "Let's change Europe before it changes us" and the dates of the 2024 EU election – next to a close-up of a person consuming what appears to be a locust, conflating entomophagy with a loss of traditional values. In this imagery, food functions as a provocative harbinger of change, tapping into fears of European cultural erosion.

Tucker Carlson's final special on his streaming show Tucker Carlson Originals, was a half-hour programme called "Let Them Eat Bugs". Examining climate-driven food policies, Carlson claims "the people in charge" are pushing bugs onto the public's plate. The episode featured Dutch far-right activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who called insect consumption a "compliance test" from an overreaching government and doubled down on her support for farmers' protests amid proposals of livestock cuts.

Other right-wing American conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and Candace Owens, along with influencer Jack McGuire have also proliferated the "I will not eat the bugs" conspiracy theory.

But where did this fabricated fear of being force-fed insects originate?

In the spring of 2020, the World Economic Forum (WEF) – the international, non-governmental organisation behind the annual Davos conference in Switzerland – introduced "The Great Reset" initiative, an effort to reduce global inequality and advance environmental initiatives during the Covid-19 pandemic. But to conspiracy theorists, the Davos conference was "proof" that the world's wealthiest people were trying to use the Covid-19 pandemic as an apparatus to reorganise societies into globalist-totalitarian regimes at the expense of ordinary people, according to the ADL's Center on Extremism.

"I will not eat the bugs" first appeared on 4chan, an anonymous forum site, as early as August 2019, but its popularity surged after it merged with The Great Reset conspiracy during the Covid-19 pandemic, says Aniano.

The EU approved four insects as novel foods in January 2023, allowing limited insect species to be used as ingredients in the EU market under certain conditions of use. The four approved insects are the house cricket, larvae of the grain beetle, the migratory locust and the dried larvae of the flour beetle. That decision caused an outcry on social media.

French right-wing politician Laurent Duplomb criticised the EU's new food permission, saying: "We cannot allow the French to eat insects without their knowledge." This false claim suggests that the EU does not require insects to be clearly labelled when they are combined with other ingredients. Under EU law, the presence of insects in a product must be clearly and explicitly declared on its label.

In January 2025, the European Commission approved UV-treated yellow mealworm powder as a novel food. Under these regulations, the EU authorised up to 4% of its use in bread, cheese and pasta – with the requirement that it be clearly listed among the ingredients on product labels. Still, Eurosceptic accounts denounced this approval and regulation. "Out of ecological madness, they are taking the risk of poisoning an entire continent [Europe] in order to compete with livestock farming," said Florian Philippot, founder of French nationalist party Les Patriotes, in a video on X. He made the false claim that there would be "up to 4g per 100g" of larvae in "our bread, compotes, pastas" making a similar, incorrect claim as Duplomb: that those in power are using climate change as an excuse to make the average European person eat bugs without their consent.
