The Death Bed Cons

Take heart before you accidentally misinterpret. You may have heard of med beds,

An extremely transparent con that of course people scared of dying believe in.  This isn’t about a bed that kills you because you squandered your life savings on it instead of a legitimately beneficial alternative.

The first is the death bed confession.  Picture an over 100 year old man dying from the Covid vaccine being really old.  And he’s got a super guilty conscience because he’s done something terribly wrong in his life that’s been gnawing away.  He knows the time is short, the gematria proved it.  And as a last effort to deal with the sudden growth of a spine admits that he was the cause of that hit and run accident that killed that 13 year old boy decades earlier.  Alternatively, still being a spineless douchebag, it could take the form of a parting shot.  “Dearest Janet, I confess that I slept with your sister.  Those were the 672 biggest mistakes in my life.”

<pause for the gematria addicts to check on what 672 means>

We’re not here to judge on the sincerity of these final statements.  It’s not possible to talk to the dead (thanks, Houdini!) to get an idea of whether the truth was finally told, nor possible to get further evidence if this was meant to console the old man or comfort/hurt those left behind.

The deathbed conversion is more extreme.  Now the old man has spent an entire lifetime generating a pattern of behavior, and it’s well known where it is he stands on a major issue.  The miser who could have supported his immediate family during his lifetime, who had bragged about how he was leaving all his money to his mistress, realizes that it doesn’t matter anymore and uses his remaining days to rewrite the last will.  Or a classic scenario of the atheistic soldier getting  religion right after he was shot in a war.

There is a side of the deathbed conversion quite useful to the grifter.  The hoax deathbed conversion.  Darwin allegedly converting.  “Yeah, I spent my life working on evolution, and yeah I found out that time and again it was working like I thought.  And all those other smart people peer reviewing…who cares.  I’m embracing the Lord, because I’m sure spending a tiny fraction of time showing a change of heart is a good bet to fool an omnipotent being.”  Christopher Hitchens supposedly had the same change of heart.  Never mind that these conversions may have been over years instead of final minutes, I trust you get the point.

Somebody, just like a conspiracy grifter, made the story up because they have an ulterior motive.

It seems that the rate of conversion from rabid conspiracy theorist to escaping the rabbit hole more or less normal, is really low.  Sure we’re experiencing some content where the sports gematria crowd is vocal about what’s wrong with Hubbard’s system, but the belief in the NWO and every play of every sports game being rigged still lingers.  Not only are these detractors looking at alternative baseless conspiracies, some are still looking at alternative leadership to the same sports content.

The deathbed cons operate unilaterally - sudden belief in something without evidence after a lifetime of non belief.  The atheist gets religion.  The religious person does not admit suddenly that they have become atheistic.  What’s the gain?  What’s in it for ME?

This is why it’s said that an effective starting point for engaging real life conspiracy content includes something like asking, “Can you describe what kind of evidence would change your mind?”  And what would change it now, not until something extreme happens like you didn’t get vaccinated and you are probably dying miserably in a hospital bed with tubes stuck in you.  This is why I constantly repeat this about gematria.

It doesn’t matter if it is sports, or the NWO, or cryptocurrency.  EXACTLY, which numbers DON’T mean something.  Which numbers can we exclude?  Just so we’re clear on which ones are not symbolic of the evil empire?  You’re either going to find that they are all evil, or if you didn’t I can find someone else that thinks it’s evil.  Or it’s a number with statistical significance instead of just two-four digits.  And do that today instead of waiting until this NFL season is put on its deathbed.
