Cuckoo Award: Medbeds

I bet you have never even heard of medbed, that is unless you are a conspiracy theory nut... you see aliens (Nope not the type that crosses borders... the type with UFOs.) came down and gave us a secret bed that heals.

Trump posted about a medical conspiracy theory called 'medbeds.' Here's what's going on.

On Sept. 27, President Donald Trump shared an apparently AI-generated video of himself promoting a cure-all "medbed" – a medical conspiracy theory.

The video, which has since been deleted from his Truth Social account, resembled a Fox News segment on the show hosted by the president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, but it never aired on the network.

“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” said the AI rendering of Trump.

But much like the mock news report, “medbeds” don’t actually exist.

The “medbed” conspiracy has roots in the QAnon movement and falsely claims that cure-all medical beds exist and are being kept from the public.

Cue the Twilight Zone music! MSN reports that,

The conspiracy comes from a period shortly after World War II, when Americans were ‘spotting’ UFOs all over the place.

A theory arose that the US government reverse-engineered technology recovered from these alien aircraft and got their hands on advanced healing technologies.

To be perfectly clear... there are no medbeds. There is not alien technology secretly curing high government officials, you know all you have to do is look at Trump.

So today's Cuckoo Award is given for Trump's belief in medbeds and you have to wonder the mental health of a person who believes in them!

Repeat: this is an AI generated video and to be perfectly clear... there are no medbeds. There is not alien technology secretly curing high government officials, you know all you have to do is look at Trump.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

“A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.”
― Booker T. Washington

"We will not walk in fear one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason."
– Edward R. Murrow

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
