Gaetz sex offender so I dont think anyone should listen to him

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 19 points 3 months ago

He was just referencing fanfic he wrote of himself inducted into a breeding program to fuck aliens.

That guy is a pedophile. No conspiracy on that fact.

[–] riskable@programming.dev 22 points 3 months ago

While the claims remain unverified,

Matt Gaetz is right there.

Lizard aliens definitely stole his skin and stretched it over their exoskeletons.

Matt Gaetz says a lot of things

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I’m so sick of this shit. Can we PLEASE just arrest all the pedophiles and traitor politicians

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

With this and the ufo demon thing, the conspiracy nuts must begetting too riled up and are being fed new distractions.

I think it all stems back to a rather famous call the Art Bell Coast to Coast radio show got, waaaay back in the 90s:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ee3bld4lTG0

You can probably find more info on this event than what is in this video, but this is the oldest upload of it to youtube I can find.

So yeah... right wing Christians tended to massively listen to radio talk shows more than other groups, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, etc...

So, probably a lot of them heard this, and well its been 30 years, 30 years for ... collective lore development.

Its like how just most kooky spiritual gurus can trace back their ideas to Helena Blavatsky snd Theosophy, late 1800s / early 1900s.

Which includes the Thule Society, and thus Nazis.

For a long time there has been crossover between right wing politics and zany belief structures... I think it boils down to just an authoritarian approach to knowledge.

Blavatsky was a barking, swivel-eyed loon.

Which includes the Thule Society, and thus Nazis.

But another spin-off was Dartington, which nurtured a lot of good art and progressive politics along with the woo.

True, the history of the occult is... to put it extremely mildly, quite complicated.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Don't care.

Cost of living is too high for me to give a shit about aliens unless they're here to liberate us from the assholes in charge.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Guy is clinging to whatever bullshit he can to stay relevant. There's a nonzero chance Gaetz is a transgenetic mouse.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

Mice don't have fiveheads.

[–] Zier@fedia.io 6 points 3 months ago

How many lines did pedo matt snort before saying this???

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago

If alien-human hybrids were a thing, every furry on the planet would know within a week.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 2 points 3 months ago

Of course its legit just look at the murica admin.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Looking at Gaetz, it seems he's one of the early results.

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

It's funny because this is like a double he said she said moment. Gaetz says someone claimed that this project is real. Meaning no actual evidence.

no, its just your plastic surgeon did a shoddy job on your face or they use that face stretching machine from STAR TREK insurrection.
