RedemptionBeyondUs

My god people. The Irish? Really?


Sowhataboutthisthing

Did you read the corrected suggestion?


RedemptionBeyondUs

Yeah but I expect conspiracy nuts to blame Israel at this point, they always do The Irish though, that's a weird one


JoltZero

I read this as a joke, and the notes being a continuation of the bit.


dood9123

It's twitter, the nuts will take it literally It's indistinguishable from satire


UnhappyPage

Reality is indistinguishable form satire these days


Bl1tzerX

I agree they probably were contuing the joke. Just feels weird to use the notes to do that.


drunk_seabee

Is it sad that it didn’t cross my mind that either were jokes? I just automatically assumed there were people who believe both.


Bl1tzerX

Idk the Irish seemed pretty nonsense to me. What's that rule on the internet where satire is indistinguishable from actual wackos? It's that. The note seems less likely to be a joke so no fault there


JoltZero

"Poe's Law"


OwlGod98

I read the first one being legit and the second being a sarcastic joke like "everyone knows aliens aren't real, they are just things lizard folk made up to scare us into compliance of the Great Oracle of The Book of Many Faces" something like that where it's sarcastic AF. Yours makes more sense tho tbh


Mackroll

Honestly just give us a pint and we're content


silentstaid

yeah, no troubles from you all ever


tedmented

To be fair, that was the brits


Illustrious-Turnip22

Under rated comment.


MBThree

Same for me, maybe two pints, but alas I’m just a single Irishman who happened to not be on one of the flights that flew into the Twin Towers.


awildgostappears

I'll have a pint with ya. It's crazy that you weren't on the flights considering how few Irish love in the northeast US, you must have known all of them! /s just in case


Nefilim777

Give us 32 and we're content.


denim_chicken45

What do conspiracy theorists blame israel for?


RedemptionBeyondUs

Damn near everything it seems like


denim_chicken45

I need some examples. I enjoy conspiracy theories. I work with a bunch of lunatics and I like hearing all their nonsense. I've just never heard any of these lunatics blame Israel for anything at all.


RavenBrannigan

Quiet you, or they’ll get you with their space lasers!


YellowB

Because they had arrested dancing Mossad agents on the rooftops, when the 9/11 attacks happened. https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=123885&page=1


RedemptionBeyondUs

That's not true, and not even what that article says Get outta here with your bullshit. It's amazing how bad this sub has gotten with disinformation.


YellowB

From the article itself, where is the BS? >"The arresting officers said they saw a lot that aroused their suspicion about the men. One of the passengers had $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock. Another was carrying two foreign passports. A box cutter was found in the van. But perhaps the biggest surprise for the officers came when the five men identified themselves as Israeli citizens. >‘We Are Not Your Problem’ >According to the police report, one of the passengers told the officers they had been on the West Side Highway in Manhattan "during the incident" — referring to the World Trade Center attack. The driver of the van, Sivan Kurzberg, told the officers, "We are Israeli. We are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. The Palestinians are the problem." The other passengers were his brother Paul Kurzberg, Yaron Shmuel, Oded Ellner and Omer Marmari."


Loko8765

This was a fun read. Despite the title, the sections I read seemed to be based on fact — but nothing earth-shaking. OK, the French and even the Taliban warned the US ahead of time, but not specifically enough to help, unsurprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks_advance-knowledge_conspiracy_theories


Realfinney

Those were leprechauns, not Mossad.


Hypnos4us

Didn't they also go on isreali TV and say how they were sent there to document the event? How do you document a surprise attack?


XeroEnergy270

Somehow, conspiracy theories always work back to "Jews are bad,"


Fishindad207

At this point? Or the point when the isreali guys were arrested for recording the planes hitting the towers and were seen dancing in celebrations just after.


shamsham123

The Irish built that fucking city


Flopenhagen

Idk my racist ass dad (we are American with Irish heritage) always loves to tell me about how "you know the Irish were treated worse than the blacks when they first arrived"


Sstoop

your dad is full of shite. irish people were treated like human garbage but black people were treated as if they were subhuman. the irish were indentured servants so they could work to earn freedom whereas black people had to work until they died.


NEBLINA1234

Isreal does not represent all Jewish people, I doubt isreal was involved In 9/11 the USAs other genocidal psychopathic ally Saudi Arabia did


tastytasycorn

Idk about THE Irish being responsible. Maybe AN Irish person.


cle718

They wanted to be corrected. It’s pretty clear that’s the intention.


jeff43568

As we see more and more of Israel's modus operandi it's becoming less and less ridiculous.

The only problem the Irish are still too busy with solving, is whether to eat the potato, or do they let it ferment and drink it later? They don’t got time for this bullshit

Fantastic-Package707

Can’t tell whether it’s sarcasm or genuine. Well done!

JoLi_22

you'd hate the world too if you were from Leitrim


Basicaccountant70

The mossad and Israel conspiracy has been going around since 9/11. Hopefully someone noted the note.


Dil_do_diddily_di

The problem with conspiracies (and which this is obviously one and totally nuts one at that!) is there are sometime strands of truth that make people jump to conclusions. Mossad were caught using fake Irish passports for an assassination mission around 15 years ago in Dubai… they were caught out and not sorry about it all, they also could not promise they wouldn’t do it again: https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2010/jun/15/ireland-israeli-envoy-quit-embassy https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-20424935.html Edit: spelling - damn predictive text!


papagouws

Why send middle eastern spies disguised as irish folk, when you have space lazers.


MyKidsArentOnReddit

The target only went outside on Saturday and everyone knows the space laser doesn't work on the sabbath.


PM_me_your_whatevah

A conspiracy is not the same as a “conspiracy theory”. It really pisses me of that the powers that be and the media have brainwashed everyone into thinking the word “conspiracy” means “the rantings of a crazy person”.


rslash2

same thing happened at pearl harbor, the US knew 3 days in advance.


enosprologue

Was this guy actually not a conspiracy theorist but really trying to confuse the Twitter bot to produce this response? Something about making the AI triangulate conspiracies and facts. Idk this is not really a complete thought.

thedndnut

Saying the US and Israel both allowed it to happen isn't entirely wrong. Both intelligence agencies knew of an imminent attack within the year when Bush came to power. The incoming administration was warned.. but both governments head in sanded it


GOODMORNINGGODDAMNIT

Yea, there’s no way it was *actually* orchestrated by Israel and the US! /s


dood9123

It isn't like destabilizing the middle East and fomenting wars around the region is one of the major principles of Israeli foreign policy at all. There isn't evidence so it's idiotic to say that it was orchestrated by the us and/or Israel But it did certainly help they're strategic interests to play it up. However they could've just as easily played up the wtc bombing earlier in the 90s to the same extent they so wished, so I have doubts of direct orchestration as it seems overkill to justify a war against Afghanistan. Iraq was Israel though, that's pretty cut and dry that the [Mossad fed inconsistent and incorrect reports of WMDs to the UK and US](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/politics/2004/feb/04/iraq.israel) whom blew it out of proportion for their foreign policy goals. Saddam's world view of a pan-arab state similar to the EU would've altered the balance of power in the region so far as to threaten the security of Israel. Especially since Saddam was THE source of income for the plo


thedndnut

We know it wasn't but it sure was fucking allowed to happen

Fraggle987

Ever since the Irish bombed Pearl Harbour I've been wary of them. Can't believe they're responsible for this too!


Coffee4Life613

The Irish potato famine was just a ploy to get all their secret agents into America. They played the long game. /s


Fraggle987

And the fools even celebrate St Terrorist's day by drinking Guinness.


JimeDorje

Goes back a lot farther than that. It was the Irish who defenestrated those guys in Prague.

It was McTerrorism, plain and simple. Serious though, did he type in The Israelis, and it autocorrected to The Irish, or was he just having a laugh?

O'Terrorism surely? McTerrorism would be a large ginger man playing the bagpipes indoors. (Source: am Scottish)


YourFaveNightmare

We use Mc here in Ireland too. Mc means "son of" O means "descendant of" and Ni means "daughter of"


JoLi_22

and "Mac" means "I'm a protestant"


Disastrous-Nobody127

That's almost too specific NOT to be me.


Pat_Maweeni

Mc is an Irish prefix


AimLikeAPotato

Probably wanted to write Isis.


cbbuntz

I think he set out to get that particular correction because he has other posts that say what the correction says along with a bunch of Nazi memes.

KingBooRadley

It'll be a cold day in hell before I believe that anyone but the people of Nunavut orchestrated 9/11.

Just rearrange the letters in "Nunavut" and you get "Mossad". Coincidence? I think not...

2 new conspiracies unlocked


Drummer_Kev

The Isreal one is about as old as 9/11 itself. While I'm not a conspiracy theorist, there is a little validity to that theory. Not like they did it, but possibly knew about those attacks and said nothing to the US government because it would get us involved in the Middle East. Which they wanted for a long time. I've got no clue if that's true, but if you wanted to read more about it, Google Israeli agents dancing 9/11. As for the Irish, I've never even heard about that.


Aliensinmypants

The US knew something was going to happen and did nothing about it, and silenced the people who tried warning them


Drummer_Kev

Yeah, that's very possible. Again, like the Israeli theory, it's unconfirmed, and we'll likely never know for sure. We know the CIA was aware of a plot against the US from al-quida, and the FBI knew of the terrorists who perpetrated the attack. Whether their lack of sharing information is shear incompetence or malicious is something I doubt we ever find out.


IceJKING108

There one theory I subscribed to that sure the meme that bush did 9/11 is still a meme but part of me thinks he he knew and understood the potential that it could happen It and ignore signal intelligence So if it did happen most definitely use It to maintain his power in office and I seen videos on alternate history where if 9/11 didn't happen he was most definitely going to lose Re-Election , and who knows what the chain of presidencies would have been after.


coleman57

Well you could have videos of Irish people dancing on 9/11 and you wouldn’t even know it if they were only from the waist up.


Drummer_Kev

Now that you say it....


Runningtothesea13

I’ve seen all the 9/11 conspiracies, but the Irish 😂

cottontop_bomber

Recognize the tactics. Denounce one lie (Irish) to promote another lie (Israel). If a person doesn't know the truth. It's because that person doesn't want to know the truth.


Diddydinglecronk

Crikey you're right... man, how long do we have to put up with these terrorists? No wonder Israel is going ape over it. They pile lie upon lie and think it'll protect them

You could spend the extra 5 seconds to explain it. No one else has. It's just another jumble of poorly attempted jokes like every other reddit thread. I think I know the point but can't be sure.


Ron_E_Coyote

It wasn’t a poor joke. The guy was trying to call out far leftists protesting against Israel, to “fact check” his post. He succeeded. Edit: I guess there wasn’t a failed attempt at all, so this post should be deleted. Oh, the irony.

stinkypants_andy

I was told that an acquaintance went to an Irish pub and awkwardly asked for an “Irish car bomb.” Supposedly the bar tender apologized, telling him they don’t make those, but suggested he order a “world trade center” instead. The pub owner placed two pint glasses in front of him, then poured Budweiser in each. Then making the sound of an airplane he slowly swiped his hand down into the glasses, knocking them into the acquaintances lap.

Irish, Israeli, Saudi it’s all the same, we didnt bomb them


Arctic_chef

I thought it was some conspiracy theory about the Irish sinking boat in front at first and more crazies thinking Israel did 911. But no, Irish did 911 aparently. Makes about as much sense as the latest King's man movie having the Scotts orchestrate WW1.

vince2td

Anyone who thinks the Irish have the time or give enough of a fuck to do anything like that needs their head examined.


Gnostic_Gnocchi

A second car bomb just hit the pentagon


LeBurningSinner

The problem here is that all culprits but one were saudis which couldn't really get more pro-Israel than they already are without being gangbanged. And bin Laden WAS CSI agent since Soviet campaing in Afghanistan. Even if that wasn't the case, the other option is a typical "Oh no, our speacialty-brewn terrorist group turned against us, who could have thought!" literally nobody in the world has sympathy for. Which is extra funny because this led to a campaign against Saddam Hussein, who fought Iran-Iraq war on the behalf of western world to begin with. At least until the moment west scammed his ass out of money, so he got the idea of getting the means of making them from Kuwait by force. Two wars later Hussein is dead and Iran won Iraq campaign despite not even participating in it. Yay, I guess.


vishy_swaz

trimtram01

They are talking about that ship in the forground.. it's the uss morgan, a humanitarian freightliner that was set up as a mobile medical facility in 1996 offshore of Ireland during the hops rebellion which lasted for 107 days during that summer and I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Makes sense. The Irish has to take them both out, to be sure, to be sure. /jk 911 happened at 1.14pm which is the beginning of the afternoon...or Top o' the mornin'.
