if the full moon can wreak havoc on people.... (conspiracy)

[gunslinger256]

Wouldn't a solar eclipse and an approaching asteroid have bigger effects on people's sanity?

It almost feels like the global populist movement, the many protests going on at the moment and more recently all the shootings and cars plowing into crowds could be the result of some other planetary alignment in addition to the solar eclipse and the approaching asteroid.

Anyone aware of some cosmic event causing people to go crazy?

I think the authorities (whoever they are?) have a problem. They cannot impose martial law without collecting all the guns from people. They cannot collect all the guns from people unless they make it so dangerous that the population ASK for those guns to be collected.

Hence the wierd shooting incidents, etc all over the place. Other countries do not appear to have these same wierd shooting incidents do they? Bombs, yes, but lone gunmen going into offices and schools, no.

So, I ask myself, what is it about USA which makes it so different? Only that it has the gun allowed because it is written into the constitution and it would be almost impossible to get rid of it.

milab and MKULTRA + others means that people are programmed by the military and can be triggered to do whatever they are told to do. I reckon many of these crazy incidents are planned for a reason. Call me a conspiracy nut if you want (and I expect some on here to do that).

People have ALWAYS been effected by the Moon. You only have to work in the emergency services to know the incidents increase around the full moon. We call madness "lunacy" which acknowledges the link to the Moon. Why shouldn't any other large planetry body coming close to the earth have a similar effect? Old country folk used to tell us to plant seeds at a certain phase of the moon because they would germinate better or gather herbs at specific phases so the link has been there for hundreds of years.

However, try to argue that stars and planets have any effect at all on humans and you will be met with ridicule and told it is just not true. Just wait and see what those people will say here.

More recently? This stuff has been going on forever. Halley's comet has caused a stir a few times in the past.

Crazy and all sorts of other things.
Not only do we have the eclipse, there is also Mercury in retrograde. Many people dread this period as 'all Hell breaks loose'. It is actually more focused on travel (short distance) and communications. So far in this retro-period, my tire was sliced open by a metal gutter cover, at the same intersection less than a week later there was an accident and some guy trying to turn around, As he did not want to wait, turned into the right lane and not the (legal) left lane and caused me to almost hit a parked car because he totally cut me off.

You know, studies I've seen have failed to show a connection between full moon and behavior:

Full Moon Effect On Behavior Minimal, Studies Say

However, every person I've known who works in an emergency room says the opposite -- that things get crazy when there's a full moon. Of course, that's only anecdotal.

Only those who are already crazy and need something to blame it on, or some people need to blame it on something other than personal responsibility of the crazy person.
