Conspiracy theories, misinformation swirl online as Notre Dame burns

The big fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has scandalized the world, as one of the landmarks of Western structure seems on the brink of slaughter. It’s also the perfect catalyst for conspiracy thoughts.

As of this writing, the cause of the barrage isn’t known, with officials in Paris saying only that it wasn’t gave deliberately and might be linked to the large-scale redevelopments happening there. But InfoWars’ No. 2 humanity, Paul Joseph Watson, once claims to have insider info from “a worker” that the flame was set deliberately.

This “worker” not having a epithet or any evidence of live doesn’t matter to Watson’s 943,000 partisans, who shared it millions of durations.

The source from whom Watson took his information already deleted the tweet where he mentioned the “worker.”

But one of the shares came from Mike Cernovich, who mounted on it by tweeting out a series of legends about other recent faith vandalism in Paris, a pile of small-scale attempts that haven’t had anywhere near the impact of the Notre Dame Fire.

He had nothing to offer as evidence for the cause–but jumped on a livestream for his 460,000 followers anyway.

It wasn’t just the hardcore scheme theoreticians who “knew” what “really happened” despite nobody knowing what happened.

Canadian lily-white nationalist “philosopher” Stefan Molyneux told his nearly 400,000 adherents that “we all know what’s really happening” in Paris and followed it up with a river of tweets and retweets. He declared that the” official story” must be a cover-up and that it’s simply not possible for there to be a construction fire of this magnitude.

Over and over, without any evidence thus far, professional plot theorists and enthusiastic amateurs alike pumped out a series of misinformation and denounced Islam in general for the fervor.

These speculations will likely launch countless YouTube videos and Facebook affixes, gumming up these scaffolds, as well. The theoreticians’ reasoning, the same shortcoming logic they ever use, is that good-for-nothing happens” by collision” and that there are no coincidences. If a major event takes target, the plot speculations suggest it must be guided by the unseen paw of someone, be it a regulating cabal or organized terrorism.

A search on Twitter for “Notre Dame Islam” detects tens of thousands of tweets declaring that the fuel must be an ordinance of terror.

Twitter had it even more problems linked to misinformation. A imitation CNN account began tweeting about the inferno being purposely set.
