The Conspiracy Theory Thread

I wouldn't agree with that, no.

If you lend your neighbor 500 bucks and he buys a gun to shoot his wife with are you behind it?

Now, I don't agree with funding pretty much anything outside our country, but to say we're responsible for whatever they do then is wrong.

So you know your neighbor is batshit crazy and dangerous. You buy him a gun. And he shoots and kills someone with said gun.

That would be a closer comparison. Under your example it's like the US government loaned these guys a little money with no idea what they are doing could be seriously dangerous. It's a bad example. These were foreseeable consequences of what they were doing and the US government funded it.

Still no. Every country in the entire world does shady shit. Ours included.

And for the record, I never said you bought him a gun. I said you loaned him money, and then they went and did what they did. That would be like me changing your example to we gave them money for the express intent of developing that virus.

(also, if you DO buy somebody a gun that they use in a crime you CAN be held responsible. But being a lawyer, I'm sure you already knew that.)

That's why I'm saying your example isn't a good comparison. I don't believe we just loaned them money with no knowledge or expectation of what they were doing with the money. But maybe I'm wrong. A loan implies that we are being repaid those funds. I'm not aware of that.

Now if the conspiracy is that America intentionally helped develop and release the virus into the population intentionally, I'd say that's not the case. But I certainly think giving a program money with the knowledge that the money is going to be used to create dangerous viruses does at least make us somewhat culpable. I'm not buying what Fauchi claims about the funding situation. They knew what the money was being used for. Everyone knew.

Here is what I know. The NIH is a Federal Agency. The NIH gave grants (Not a loan that I know of) specifically for gain of function research that included the construction of mutated SAR related coronavirus. So you have US Government Agency paying for exactly what happened. Anyway, not a hill I want to die on. But if I'm wrong on my facts let me know.

I know this is probably super interesting to those that lived through it. But it's meh to me.

Did anyone here actually live through it besides LT?

Yeah, I can't imagine anything too incriminating wouldn't have been destroyed long ago.
