Another day, another grand conspiracy theory.
Apparently, the vast global network of unlikely allies that has done such a bang-up job of running the world for the past (insert feasible number) of years has had enough, and a third of us are going to be killed by means as-yet unknown on October 24.
According to my unimpeachable online source, this is in accordance with “New World Order / Agenda 21 / United Nations / Illuminati conspiracy orchestrated by Satan, Obama, Putin, ISIS and “Turncoat” Malcolm Turnbull (put into power, apparently, because Tony Abbott wouldn’t sign over Australia to the United Nations)”.
The October 24 date comes in handy, since we’ve just passed the October 7 deadline set by some fringe Christians for the end of the world, and it gives them something else to look forward to.
Now, I’m usually one to live and let live, but when people start making predictions that trouble the gullible and the elderly, then it’s really time to call them out. To tell people to give away all their possessions because they won’t be needing them — as professional doomsayer Harold Canning used to do — is just plain evil in my book.
If you really believe there’s going to be a human cull within the next fortnight, I guess it’s time to start thinking about which group you’d want to be among, the stayers or the leavers.
This post is deliberately link-ess, because I don’t want to give too much oxygen to the crazies.. Or perhaps it’s because I’m part of the conspiracy.
