    Ah. Sorrry. I cant find the original post. I found it in the first place by trawling facebook groups. Start at a relatively off kilter open facebook group and you'll find other similar groups reccommended in the side bar.

    I've found a wonderful A4V form (Accepted for value) that is used to claim your birth money from the government but i need to anonymise it as it has already been filled in. Probably not with the person's real name, as the name change forms in the group looked just as legal as the A4V form. But i dont want to even maybe dox someone so I'll figure out a nice way of posting it when i get home.

    God, the "aliens are actually demons/angels" crowd are so tedious... Like their nonsense isn't even the fun kind it's just confusing and weird and a lot of it usually ties in to other right wing conspiracies. I swear I could never hear the fucking word annunaki again as long as I live and I'd die smiling.

    Nice find. If you go even deeper into Bigfoot stuff, you'll find out that Bigfoot is actually an extra-dimensional being, able to teleport, time travel, and psychically manipulate people. That's how it's been able to stay hidden for so long.

    It is indeed not a typo, it's how Nuwaubian Black Supremacists spell Egypt in their language (a weird form of Arabic).
    Here's an anonymised copy of the A4V form I found.

    https://imgur.com/a/gN0i3zw

    If you're at all familiar with Sovereign Citizen language and catch phrases then this document will be a giant flashing beacon.

    It's mostly fake legalese. The real meat imo, are the parts that specify what the person gets out of this. eg:

    Basically: "They believe laws only apply to them if they feel like it. And typically, they don't."

    Yes. But using a different framework.

    I should clarify that the A4V form is not Nuwaubian. They're out there, but they're not that out there.

    It was Khemet (the Black Land, because of the silt) to the actual Egyptians. Just one of the countries in English we call a name, because that's what it says on the map.
    The map in question being written by people who struggled to pronounce Ha-ka-Ptah, in response to some loud pointing at where the king lived.

    Doing some youtube deep diving and found a particular user on the Maori news youtube channel, getting into a flame war. Their liked video list is a goldmine. In their comment they mentioned "Agenda 21" so I did some googling. Here's a NZ conspiracy theorist website on it:

    http://www.wakeupkiwi.com/agenda-21-new-zealand.shtml
    United Nations, John Key's New Zealand Cycle Way And Fascist Globalist Government In New Zealand - Agenda 21

    The vast majority of New Zealanders and the world in general are so distracted by day to day busy-ness, reality television and sports that most are oblivious to the socialism creeping in at the local level through Agenda 21.

    "Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources.

    This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level. "

    - excerpt, UN Agenda 21

    -
    New Zealanders need to know that although the information presented and documents revealed are mostly originating from the United States, this is a GLOBAL plan that is already starting to be implemented here in NZ. Hamilton City has been chosen as an experimental model city for the Agenda 21 program. RushFM.com

    New Zealand is officially an Agenda 21 “country”, and also evidenced by the random push towards national cycle ways which in fact make sense under the requirements of Agenda 21 in moving people away from using cars.

    For an excellent and relatively brief overview of the impacts of Agenda 21 for you and some key signs of it's implementation that you will recognise yourself once you are aware of them - listen to this interivew with Rosa Koire who is an international expert on Agenda 21.

    The New Zealand Cycle Trail concept sounds like a great and innocent idea and in principle it is. But when you understand where the real reasoning behind it comes from it takes on a rather different tone. It is nothing more than a cover story for part of Agenda 21.
    Beyond that... is a rather long presentation of Agenda 21's nefarious goals of sustainability, environmentalism, and fascism!!!!1!!11!!!one
    You can read the link if you want to but it's mostly the bog standard international globalist theories with very little NZ focused content. I'm pretty sure we've already seen Agenda 21 theories in this thread, but I enjoyed the "cycleways are evil" angle.

    live edit- Holy shiiit, I just found some NZ sovereign citizens!!! They have their own bank and have control of the real government and iwi, not the fake NZ government or iwi pretenders. I gotta read up on this first. I will post later, probably tomorrow. This one is some deep lore.
    real edit- yessss, they "sued" the Queen of England (who is actually a Rothschild and also the Pope?) to step down and allow the real heir to the crown (some British conspiracy guy) to rule.

    Ok, no more. I need to find some way to make this nonsense make some kind of sense. I will say, they are very good at creating their own website(s) and promoting themselves online. Which is nice for me.

    How's this for a conspiracy theory: I got served a weird ad for some weird-sounded conservative rag the other day and now NBC News has a big article out about them!

    Oh, that's just a coincidence? I shouldn't post about it in the conspiracy theory thread? Well what if I said you should keep reading? Obviously, I think you should read the whole article, but I will share with you some of the reporter's tweet summaries right now.

    (Ben Collins, if you hadn't gathered, is an NBC reporter.)













    So yeah, a radical cult that wants Donald Trump to immanentize the eschaton has been spending millions of dark money to promote QAnon conspiracies mixed in with their own hyper-conservative religious views, they have an enormous social media presence, and they've been photographed providing the president with a folder with unknown contents.

    I feel like this story deserves getting posted in some other threads too, but I'm not quite sure which ones...

    I dunno, I skipped the ad before it got to the end... I watched more than the required X seconds because it was strikingly and unexpectedly horrifying from the very introduction of the paper. "The Epoch Times." But I had to skip it after the guy in the ad was proudly displaying the newspaper talking about the Coming Storm.

    When the Epoch times started appearing as ads on youtube. From the first time I let it play I did not know who it was nor had I heard about them. So after a few more times of them appearing and I skipping them I looked them up and pretty much what the above post is what I found. It is the only ad I will report on youtube. I let Prager U pay because it was unintentional comedy. Now it's not but a sad excuse of a strawman argument

    twitter article:
    Falun Gong’s founder has referred to Epoch Media Group as “our media,” and the group’s practice heavily informs The Epoch Times’ coverage, according to former employees who spoke with NBC News.


    2002 CNN article:
    http://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/asiapcf/east/07/24/china.fg.overview/
    Falun Gong was founded by Li Hongzhi. He is a former government grain clerk now living in the United States. Li introduced the philosophy to the public in 1992. He then taught it for two years in China.

    Falun Gong's tight organization was seen on April 25, 1999, when about 10,000 Falun Gong members besieged the government compound in Zhongnanhai, Beijing. It was the largest mass gathering in the capital for a decade. The incident led to a large-scale crackdown on the group and, in July, the banning of Falun Gong.

    More recently, the group has taken to interrupting television broadcasts and beaming their own message into the homes of Chinese viewers. In the past year, Falun Gong supporters have interrupted cable broadcasts in at least six cities, often simply showing banners reading "Falun Dafa is good."

    The government attributes the brazen hijacking of state-run satellite signals during the soccer World Cup finals to the group.

    In July 1999, Falun Gong was officially declared illegal in China. Falun Gong books and tapes were destroyed. Its Web sites were blocked and jammed. The organization believes tens of thousands of practitioners were arrested, beaten up, detained, or sent to psychiatric wards, labor camps and prison.

    Followers say there were more than 40 documented cases of otherwise healthy practitioners being beaten and tortured to death while in detention.

    The Chinese government condemned Falun Gong, calling it a notorious cult with an evil political will. It was called a "reactionary political force" that should be destroyed. In January, three more practitioners were sentenced to six years imprisonment and 20 were arrested in Shandong.

    I'm not sure where the "30 years late" thing is coming from. I can't find it in the twitter article. And 30 years ago is before Falun Gong existed.

    edit- Ah, a pro-China source but here's the claim:
    http://www.chinaconsulatechicago.org/eng/zt/z83/t1613213.htm
    Li Hongzhi, the chief ring leader of "Falun Gong", claims that the mankind has been destroyed 81 times, and that he has delayed the explosion of the earth by 30 years.

    It's the pro-Trump/Q-anon stuff that makes it that much weirder. Perfectly normal cult otherwise - it's seems like David Icke coming out to confirm that the Reptillians are also Flat Earthers, but in this case they're actually wrong, despite having been shown the dailies from the faked moon landing.

    Though on second thought, I guess that's probably just cultural blindness, and it's literally the same thing as Supply Side Jesus. Once communism is the literal devil, easy to fall in line on other stuff too.

    Alternatively, Epoch Times has been turned into an elaborate psyop to discredit Falun Gong.

    The notion, that the faithful can look at Trump and see a guy who will bring down Xi, is out there enough that I'd be more comfortable accepting it was intentionally so.

    So Bigfoot is Jesus Christ and he's still hiding out following the resurrection, waiting for the right moment so he can Rapture humanity when all the aliens aren't looking.

    Honestly I don’t mind that, more upsetting is Chinese pro Beijing students attacking Hong Kong pro democracy students in universities throughout Australia, often with actual threats and violence

    Also reports of Chinese students in Australian universities essentially keeping watch on one another, and in some cases reporting back what was said in small tutorial classes (like 10-20 class sizes) back to the mainland, resulting in some students getting phone calls from their parents back home talking about how officials came to see them to tell them their child was saying bad things about the Chinese government while in Australia, essentially threatening them

    That is hugely problematic because Australia has a lot of Chinese students at its unis and things discussed in tutorials are legally private and protected

    It’s all very concerning and links back to the larger concern that the Chinese government is only going to get worse and worse with this kind of stuff as it brushes up against more and more democratic and independent systems. I wish I could remember the journalist who wrote a great article about this fundamental tension and how it’s going to get worse
