Conspiracy Theorists Think Biden Was Hit With Directed-Energy Weapons During Debate
Social media users are convinced Biden's stumbles might be evidence of Havana Syndrome.
This is what conspiracy theories are supposed be. Absurd insanity. Not "vaccines are bad for you" or "a secret agent with Q clearance wants patriots to overthrow democracy".
I prefer the "Darth Jar Jar" and "The Bloop" levels of conspiracy theories.
The best conspiracy ever conceived was the one that convinced people that conspiracies are absurdist caricatures of the very real threat of collusion.
All these crazy conspiracies just weaken the perception of the mundane real ones.
If I was gonna conspire, the first step would be to trivialize the idea in the first place.
Conspiracy theorists are useful idiots.

Not me. That sounds like way too much work. Spending a century or so running skeptic magazines/podcast/book publishers/blogs/whatyou just so i cam sneak my little thing in.
Be easier to just do it.
"vaccines are bad for you" is extremely absurd and insane, tbf.
This is why the Denver Airport will always be the best conspiracy.
My favorite conspiracy theory is that Kelly Johnson was read into alien tech at area 51/roswell and he was allowed to reverse engineer it. That's why he got government funding directly to him, and how he developed the sr71 blackbird so fucking quick
Not that I wanted the debate to go the way it did
This community is called news. It should include news. Not some trash blog.
Yep, absolutely. It couldn't possibly be that he's an octogenarian with a known speech impediment, had to be directed energy weapons.
known speech impediment
He had a childhood speech impediment. Overcoming those requires a concentrated effort, which we become less able to handle as we age.
Here's Biden in 2008

Here he is in 1987

In a way what's happening now is a speech impediment, but it's re-emerging as he loses ability in the same parts of the brain that handle critical thinking due to the normal effects of aging.
I'm just tired of so many people writing this stuff off. Like, it took 2 minutes to find those videos and show he hasn't always been like this. He just couldn't win until the only other option was trump. Even tho he was a much better candidate back then.
Quick edit:
Ironically something like the Havana weapon would actually cause this shit, it's incredibly unlikely someone used it on Biden for the debate...
But it's fucking 2024 y'all, who knows what's real anymore I guess.
Also, allegedly had a cold and probably got flustered after the first time he tripped on his words. And inexplicably kept trying to recite various metrics from memory.
Idiots can be on the left too.
If we're going to go all conspiratorial, here's my theory:
Both campaigns are dealing with old men with diminished faculties.
There's some drug cocktail(s) that both campaigns have been using to pep the doddering old farts up for public appearances.
If you'll remember, very shortly before the debate, the accusation that "Biden's on drugs" made the rounds, and Trump made some noises about demanding a drug test.
For some reason - possibly fear, possibly determination in the face of a challenge, possibly a subtle communication that the Trump campaign had some hard evidence they would, if pushed, release publicly - that led to the Biden team withholding his customary drug cocktail.
Trump, meanwhile, was dosed to the eyeballs.
And that was the contrast we saw - Trump was on drugs, while Biden, for whatever reason, for that night alone, was not.
Remember - for the Republicans broadly and especially for Trump, every accusation is a confession.
every accusation is a confession.
This is all I could think of when Trump said Democrats would use every avenue both legal and illegal to overturn election results.
I sincerely think it's broadly accurate - that, for the Republicans and especially for Trump, (most) every accusation is a confession.
There's a simple psychological element to it, most often illustrated by moralists who rail against perversion of one form or another, only to be revealed to be perverts.
There's another aspect to it though, and I think this is more often the case with Trump specifically - it's a way to proactively undermine someone else's accusation against you. If you can get your accusation out there first, then they end up sounding sort of like a child saying, "I know you are but what am I?"
This is your occasional reminder that the conspiracy nutballs can be on the left sometimes too.
Dating has taught me this. I’m not sure I like this version of the multiverse.
"Batshit conspiracy theories...not just for the far right anymore!"
Wow, and here I thought he was an old guy with a stutter getting flustered while a fascist fuckwad spewed inane garbage.
"It was his stutter."
"He had a cold."
"He overprepared and got flustered."
"A malicious actor used an Inator on him."
I wonder what the next excuse is gonna be.
"He's old."
He actually said on camera that the reason he is running this time is because Trump is running, meaning that if Trump wasn't running, Biden wouldn't be running, meaning he doesn't even really want the job.
The DNC put up a guy that doesn't even want to be president again, and now 40% of democrat voters want a new nominee because apparently they weren't paying attention for the last 4 years and only realized now, during the debate, that Joe Biden is dealing with cognitive decline.
No we realized years ago. It's the entire reason his campaign started the idea that he'd be a single term president. People brought it up after the midterms when he confirmed he'd run again. It's been in the news and an open question ever since then. According to insiders, the debate was held early specifically to show he wasn't too old.
Biden and the Party have been aggressively going after critics, accusing them of being Trump supporters and disloyal to the very concept of democracy. Which would have worked if he didn't shit the bed so badly.
The DNC basically dragged him out of retirement in 2020 because establishment couldn't handle anyone scary like Bernie or someone young.
I think the debate made it undeniable for a lot of people.
A coldinator! And after the president the whole tri-state area!
I understood this reference.
Having a cold is perfectly normal.
Claiming to have beaten Medicare isn't a cold symptom.
so your idea is that people close to Biden are making a conspiracy theory as cover. So your conspiracy theory is that there is a conspiracy spreading conspiracy theories ?
My dude look inside your own house. The conspiracies are coming from inside your own home.
And my prediction came true. There's already a new excuse. They're blaming jet lag. When the last time he traveled was 2 weeks before the debate.
Have you ever been in a TV studio with all the lights pointed at you?
That's exactly what they are. Directed-Energy Weapons.
And yet this is still many orders of magnitude more sane than thinking Donald Trump is fit to be president.
Wouldn't Directed Energy Weapons make him burn and itch so bad he'd jump around?
We have those, we've used them in real combat, but they don't work like that.
So, Gizmodo's trying to toady up to The Onion, now?
I don't buy it in this particular case, but "directed energy" can do some funky things: https://youtu.be/J-SH18dtBlY?si=40dOJbu4O9ZWWCsZ
(No, it's not a conspiracy theory video or any of that crap. Benn Jordan is a musician that likes all kinds of funky sound things.)
That's exactly what I thought of when I saw this. Not saying it's what happened but remembered this video
That's
Not the weirdest thing I've heard. Fuck this timeline
While Havana Syndrome is real, to my knowledge it's not that refined. It should have impacted everyone in the room, Trump and the moderators included.
The known reports of the syndrome occupied entire floors of buildings. The idea that someone could use it and just target one guy is a little out there.
Is Havana Syndrome real? I thought there was like 0 evidence for it and it being a form of hysteria.
The work done on it has been fascinating. You'd think if it were simple hysteria there would be outbreaks among the civilian population, but it's always government employees.
If he had some metal in him, that could make him more perceptive of microwaves. Dark Brandon T-100 confirmed?
I've said it many times, I will say it again: IT WAS THOSE DAMN REPTILLIANZ
Sure, let's go with that.
Fantasy is like rocknroll. It will never die nor reinvent itself
When people are, they notice.
Biden was exhausted and prepared to follow a debate training regimen that just left him confused. He's a senior, not an athlete you can train up spryly, he was accustomed to debate in one way and told and exhausted into debating in a way he was not used to.
Trump was protected by his blue suit.
This explains everything, I thought he was being mind-controlled by the NWO or something..
Hmm not sure if that's a bad thing, don't get me wrong I'm all pro choice but those pills have a lot of cancer side effects. Frankly I think you should go to the doctor and do it there then use pills that can give you cancer or make you sterile, then again that's my opinion.
Why is this shocking? Havana Syndrome is blatantly real.
Seems possible.
Havana Syndrome is complicated and not well understood. It doesn’t happen randomly though. The best working theory was that it happened due to phones or other similar on-ear devices. It’s not space lasers or random shit like that
Whats your source on the phones/ear pieces? Ive read its directed microwaves most likely
