"Birds are not real": The world-conquering movement claims all birds have been replaced by spy drones

The completely real movement and satirical provider "Birds are not real" claims that 12 billion birds have been replaced by flying robots designed to spy on residents for the administration.

Recently, rallies were held in the United States with the participation of hundreds of people in the hope of sweeping more believers - and a demonstration is being organized in Israel as well.

The Oxford Dictionary in 2016 defined our era as "a post-truth age in which objective facts have less influence on shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief." This is perhaps why conspiracy theories have entered the mainstream, and today there are quite a few influential ones, such as the flat land model, the fake moon landings, the "truth" behind the 9/11 attacks and the one that has resonated the most, the QAnon. Among the many conspiracy theories circulating on the net, you will find one that is particularly delusional, whether it is intended to reveal a hidden truth or to testify to the ridiculousness of the other conspiracy theories that people have clung to in recent years. We are talking about the "Birds Are Not Real" movement - a movement in which hundreds of thousands of people believe that more than 12 billion birds in the United States have been killed by the government and replaced with drones designed to spy on civilians. Completely real (though also satirical).

According to their theory - as early as the 1950s, the CIA began to reduce America's bird population with the intention of replacing it with flying robots.

Peter McIndo, the man whose face is hoisted on the traffic flag, explains that the reason the birds stand on electrical wires is that they are robotic and do so in favor of charging and in addition they dump feces on cars as part of a "liquid tracking device".

McIndo claims that he is not the person who came up with the theory, but he was the first to go out with it in public, when in January 2017 he was seen protesting as part of the Women's March in Memphis.

McIndo, a graduate of English and philosophy at the University of Memphis in Tennessee, was seen at the women's parade picking up a sign that read: "Birds are a myth. They are an illusion. They are a lie. Wake up America! Wake up."

Since the women's march, the movement has gained a wide fan base with over 360,000 Reddit subscribers and about 323,000 followers on Instagram.

Of course some do not believe in conspiracy and follow it only for the sake of amusing developments, but many of the supporters are convinced of their righteousness.

With the rise of the Corona-related conspiracies, the popularity of the Robotic Bird Conspiracy has also risen, with a very recent rally in support of Springfield, Missouri, attended by a large number of believers. "Birds are not real. They used to be, until the U.S. government replaced them with identical drones designed to spy on the American public," the movement's Instagram account read. The movement's website offers a detailed explanation and a long history of theory that pertains primarily to the American intelligence community.

The Instagram account of "Birds are not real" posted a video that allegedly shows the moment the robotic birds were released into the air and next to it reads: "When it all started - October 26, 2001. The day the deceptive and evil Patriot Act passed in Congress. I can not watch these horrible videos in public, I'm shaking uncontrollably with rage. I'm crying. I can not keep quiet. After the government killed the last real bird in 2001, they launched the beta versions of the first bird drone, as shown in these tapes. "Read more:" Call me Pike News, call me stupid, call me uneducated, I do not care.

Just because I did not go to high school does not mean that I am less intelligent than you.

I just did not go through brainwashing and institutional rinsing like all of you.

One day you will see. "

This is how the robotic birds were allegedly released:

From the Springfield support rally last month:

Despite the clear absurdity of the movement's message, it has gained a lot of supporters online and offline.

Believers believe it began in the 1950s when the CIA tried to address two major issues: 1. The need to monitor the U.S. population. 2. The need to prevent birds from soiling fancy CIA cars. The solution was ostensibly to replace the birds with luck. " Tiny robotic teams that will listen to our every conversation.

A stolen transcript of the former CIA deputy, which appears on the movement's website, reads: "Yes, the officials were so outraged that birds threw feces on the windows of their cars until they swore to erase any flying feather creature in North America."

It is further alleged on the website that in 1963, John F.

Kennedy was murdered after opposing the plan when he was exposed to the prototype of an "X500" rooster robot that is supposed to slaughter the real birds ready to be replaced.

After several trials and upgrades, the site claims, the robotic birds were released in 2001 with the approval of Barack Obama.

Peter McIndo explains the movement:

That's how it all started seemingly.

Real or satire?

According to most social media reports, the "Birds Are Not Real" movement was formed for satirical purposes only, to make fun of other conspiracy theorists on the net with equally wild claims, such as the QAnon.

Although many believe the claims, it's pretty clear that "Birds Are Not Real" is not an actual conspiracy theory, but a comedic work of art that reveals how ridiculous ideas manage to capture and sweep a fan base in the post-truth era.

The movement's leader, Peter McIndo, will not admit that this is a fake conspiracy, but he has often hinted at this possibility.

"It's one of the saddest things, that people also understand that the movement can be a kind of mass improvisation, or some kind of show that highlights a new era that we have entered as a society where anything can be real," he told Newsweek, "even if that was the case. "You could not really know."

He added: "I think if it was a parody movement, it could have helped people deal with life in an absurd period. Possibility to unite and laugh at the absurdity of the post-truth age. The thing is we are not like that."

There are believers in Israel too

A Facebook page on the subject was also set up in Israel last year (declaring itself a satirical page) and these days he wanted an invitation to a demonstration that is expected to take place in Kiryat Shmona to raise awareness of the fact that birds are not real (and of course in the Israeli version the Mossad is responsible).

While for many this conspiracy theory is another way to put a spotlight on the ridiculous conspiracy theories that corrupt our society, McIndo claims he does not intend to stop until all the robotic birds have descended from the sky - and he sounds real in his intentions.

He said: "The end of this project will come only in the case of social acceptance and an end to the 12 billion robotic birds that are currently sweeping the nation's skies."

The "Birds Are Not Real" movement is now documented in favor of a documentary series, which is expected to be quite entertaining or perhaps do the opposite and open secret doors to a global conspiracy.
