No, I’m not joking. A guest on Alex Jones’s show claims that NASA has a slave colony on Mars populated with kidnapped children.
Kidnapped children.
Sent to Mars.
A planet that we still haven’t sent people to, because it will require an effort bigger and more expensive than Apollo to send humans there, and Apollo consumed 5% of the nation’s budget at its peak. NASA’s budget has been infinitesimal ever since. Where did they get the money to send these child slaves to Mars? Apparently from thin air, I guess.
And Alex Jones did no pushback at all at this batshit insanity. He is one of our President’s most trusted news sources. As is the National Enquirer. Whose current owner is friends with Donald Trump, and Donald Trump has threatened reporters with hit pieces in the Enquirer if they report things he doesn’t want reported. Frankly, we haven’t seen anything this bizarre since it was revealed that Nancy Reagan used astrologers to make big decisions for the Reagan White House. But Nancy was just the First Lady. Not the President.
We are so, so fucked.

What do you think the Venn diagram overlap is of the people who believe that the moon landing was a fake with the ones who believe that there’s a child sex slave colony on Mars?

Yes, there are people that think that 1) We couldn’t have gone to the moon THEN, but 2) we CAN go to the moon now. (Wrong both ways, basically.)

First there was the Ping Pong Pizza Parlor…so when do we hear about one of these armed ‘lone wolves’ showing up on Mars to “self-investigate”?

Well, I guess that’s one nice thing about this stupid situation. Some random dude with a gun isn’t going to show up on Mars and threaten people with his gun. 🙂

I wouldn’t put it past some random yahoo to try and build a replica of the ship from Salvage 1 to make the trip…

No!! When the Red Piller gets to the Red Planet (or more likely, a NASA facility from which the childsexslave mission controls originate) and starts shooting, it will be a blast from the future! Hey, look at how well that worked for the guy who shot up the Discovery Channel HQ in that Washington, D.C. suburb in 2010… Amerika — land of the Lone Gunman seeking JUSTICE!

He could show up at NASA, though. Or what he thinks is NASA. Or an Air & Space museum. Or some carny ride with a fake rocket.

Sigh, In countries with universal health care, Alex Jones and the rest of the yahoos would be getting the health care and meds they so desperately need. But this is ‘Murica so we’ll give them guns instead. WTF?

Part of how the Secret Martian Sex-Slave Colony meme works is that it is so obviously stupid a lie that it imposes a shame cost on those rejecting it. So assent to the lie, once given, is difficult to withdraw.
