So apparently power plants are fake and electric dams

Imadeyouthink · 18th December 2018, 12:55 PM

As the title implies but myself I don't believe it that all power plants including electric dams are fake and that they collect the power from the atmosphere.

The Tesla tower he makes such a big deal out of isn't even finished yet.

He can prove the turbines and generators were installed just as cover for the real secret source?

Seems a huge waste of money to hide s century old 'secret'.

Axxman300 · 20th December 2018, 12:59 AM

Does this mean that Norway is fake?

I always suspected this to be the case. The Nazi's invented Norway to hide the Tirpitz, and I guess things got out of control.

What? Norway is real.

Mind blown.

Dave Rogers · 20th December 2018, 02:10 AM

Of course Norway is real. It's some of Slartibartfast's best work.

There are people out there that think jet aircraft don't need fuel. They run on ckmpressed sir, the fuel you see being put aboard is a hoax.

A jet engine is just a perpetual motion machine. Until you add the fuel.

Except for hydroelectric plants of course, they DO get power from the air.

Yes, but is a round about way.

I proved the electricity is fake years ago. Electronics work on magic blue smoke and I can prove it. If you break a piece of electronics to the point that the magic blue smoke gets out, they won't work anymore.

This logic is about as good, if not better, than a the logic in a lot of crazy ideas.

It's true, I guess, that once the sarcasm reaches a certain level, you can't distinguish it from conspiracy theories advanced by people who actually believe the woo.

Axxman300 · 27th December 2018, 12:25 PM

If you've never gotten Blue Smoke from an electrical device you've probably never been broke enough that you plugged something in that had no business being turned on that one last time.

Mine was the prior post and had no sarcasm implied, so no I still didn't get it.

Reading it after your post I can see the sarcasm, but not dripping.

Is there someone out there just pulling our legs (or being unbelievably gullible)?

They seem to recycle footage endlessly from each other.
Its cheaper and easier than doing anything yourself, and you need a lot of hits to bring in the money.
