Here’s your big chance to escape freezing cold, snow and El Nino perils next January - take the Conspira-Sea Cruise to Mexico!!!

Yes, this is for real - a cruise company specializing in alternative marine extravaganzas is advertising a cruise leaving from L.A. and heading to the Mexican Riviera. Enroute, participants can learn about (and empower themselves to deal with) an amazing range of conspiracies:

"During this incredible, mind-blowing, truth-telling, spiritually enriching event, we will do our best to uncover the truth about things conspiratorial, including:

“GMOs, Monsanto, bee colony collapse, ecology, global warming, climate change, fracking, HIV, autism, big pharma, medical suppression, vaccinations, flouridation, political corruption, government corruption, forbidden archeology, forbidden religion, Federal Reserve, truth about money, World Bank, IRS, strawman, property title, admiralty law, martial law, Bohemian Grove, Skull and Bones, JFK, cover-ups, September 11, Star Wars agenda, nuclear plants, chemtrails, HAARP, crop circles, IRS, MK-Ultra, Fukashima, NASA, NSA, Bilderbergs, sustainability, military industrial complex, pentagon, Waco, Malaysia 370, Pan Am 103, TWA 800, Gulf Oil Spill, Halliburton, Obama, Ruby Ridge, OK City, Vatican, New World Order, false flags, Montauk, privacy, surveillance, Area 51, Dulce, Project Rainbow, Nazi Bell, Vrill, U.S.S. Eldridge, Iron Mountain, psyops, population mangement, subliminal ads, Nibiru / Planet X, Cointel Pro, technology suppression, entity possession, electoral fraud, identity chips, 2nd amendment, and so much more.”

Naturally for an expedition like this, you need top-line speakers, and the Woo Boat has them in spades - including Andrew Wakefield and Sherry Tenpenny for the antivax contingent, [Robert O. Young](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_O._Young) and [Len Horowitz](http://skepdic.com/horowitz.html) to furnish medical conspiracy woo, and [Jeffery Smith](http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2014/09/1157-jeffery-smith.html) (a hero of anti-GMOers, who is also well-equipped to handle Monsanto and chemtrails)

[http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2015/08/14/the-woo-boat/](http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2015/08/14/the-woo-boat/).

Additionally there will be instruction in yoga, holistic health, organic foods and other modalities to calm down attendees who get overly riled up by hearing about the Bilderberg-HAARP-Skull and Bones-Ruby Ridge-GMO plot to depopulate the world. And who can say - will romance bloom as conspiracy types mingle?

Sign up quickly, Dopers - the best cabins are going fast!

I forwarded the link to a cousin of mine. I just know he will cream his jeans when he sees the website.

Don’t do it, it’s a trap!

This is clearly a government conspiracy to round up all the worst of the conspiracy theorists and nutbars in one place (plus all the celebrity activists, no less) so they can be ‘dealt with’.  
I predict the ship will end up sinking with all hands under [del]suspicious[/del] mysterious circumstances - probably just a few hours after it leaves US waters.

C’mon, wake up sheeple!

Sometimes I wonder if those people will ever wake up to the “conspiracy” they are subjected to, that being one of feeding them BS in exchange for their money.

The loss of a perfectly good ship would be regrettable.

Sometimes a little sacrifice is necessary. What’s one ship for some sanity.

I just followed a few links and was introduced to orgonite. Ho. Lee. Hell.

I dunno, probably a bit of a bummer if you’re actually on it. 🙂

Otherwise, nope. Can’t think of a downside. Although hearing all the remaining CTers bleating on about it for the next decade might get tiring. Then again, at least maybe they’d shut up about all the stuff they bleat on about now. The change might be refreshing.

I don’t see anything about NESARA, orgone therapy, or Denver International Airport on there.

They’ve lost my business.

I wonder how much it would cost to hire a few people in each port to stand on boats/docks/rooftops and watch the ship with binoculars?

And the best part of the plan? All of the people who’d figure it out will be on the ship.

On a somewhat serious note, do believers in different conspiracies get along together? Or do they see each others as rivals?

Sounds like my uncle needs to fill them in on the Illuminati! Unfortunately, that cruise won’t be taking place because of the _thing_ that’s going to happen around September 23rd or 24th…oh hell, I’ve said too much.

Well presumably there’ll be staff actually operating the ship, for whom it’s just a job.

Maybe leave it a few days, so death will be a welcome escape for those poor sods.
