What an absolute wing nut. He seriously needs help. Though the responses are pretty good as people are pushing back on him. Check out his response to the suggestion his gold medal be taken away.

Once someone goes down the WEF tinfoil hat conspiracy theory rabbit hole, they are gonzo.

They instantly become the most "plugged in" person you know and are privy to all the latest and greatest information on the subject.

Apparently many of the Convoy leaders etc. are pushing this narrative.

These idiots have been co-opted which should be funny but it is absolutely not

I have a friend who is on his way down the conspiracy loonie path. Found out that the imbeciles he follows on facebook have been getting censored so they're off those some other wacky locations online. They feel the fact their drivel is removed is proof that "they" don't want the truth out.

I try to defuse him and practically beg him to come back to reality but he's so determined to search out garbage information from the most ridiculous sources. He really thinks he smarter than everyone for searching out this conspiracy ####.

I have a friend that I grew up with that is like that.

Way down the rabbit hole.

If you just talk to him on the street he's fine. But Hilary is a pedophile, government controls us via contrails.

Literally had this conversation with him

Friend: Did you ever see contrails as a kid?
Me: Yes. And I'm sure you remember I'm a pretty big plane geek.
Friend: No they didn't exist then.

When we talk it's basically just what's new, how the folks are, etc

Theoren Fleury is retweeting conspiracy accounts this week including one that stated the following:

An American citizen in Ukrainian capital:
"It is clear that Russian army does not want to harm civilians, its strikes were directed only at military targets, and did not target water lines, electricity or Internet, life seems almost normal here in Kiev."
Interesting ��

Can we force a player to take #14 in the coming seasons? Would be nice to move on from him entirely.

At this point it's flipped from no one wearing the number out of respect for Fleury to now no one wearing number out of embarrassment towards him.

And I'm sure the organization hasn't done it because they know Fleury will make a big stink about it.
The number has been sullied.

Make it a number you hand out in training camp... every year a different player who will never make the team wears #14 in pre-season games. Oh... someone wearing #14 made the team? Quick, give him a real number!

Maybe Josh Ho Sang is up for another number disruption in his comeback attempt?

I saw that video. An American shlub who hasn't been near the conflict, so he assumes it isn't happening and is some kind of cover up. Because utilities are still functional, Russia are being humanitarians. Ukraine is a large country, but don't count on an American simp to get that.

Insane that he picks that tweet out of the endless stream of ones with evidence of death and destruction.

Question everything right. Cause the media is creating a whole war, Truman Show style.

Fuqing idiot.

Remember everything that has happened for the last 2+ years is all on the WEF. They are responsible for all of it.

Damnit. No current Ukrainian NHLers we could trade for and issue #14 to.

I guess we'll just have to bring back Alexander Godynyuk.

The reason I'm a Flames fan is because of Fleury. It's sad seeing the person he has become. Attention is an addiction and twitter gives him the platform to seek attention. Many conspiracy theorists actually believe they are truly smarter than everybody else, I'm happy to be dumb in their minds.

This is more proof that you're likely to be disappointed if you meet your childhood heroes, unless it's Iggy or Lanny they are still awesome.

I too have friends now that mistrust the media so much that they believe zero of what they say, pretty scary position to be taking imo.

Talks about #14. It should have been retired long ago. A jersey retirement shouldn't be a referendum on who a player is after retirement. It is what they meant to the team as a player only. If it was the other way around good guys like Stajan would have their numbers retired. That's not how it works.
