Completely normal and not deranged nor cult like behavior from an elected representative. A representative of their peers.

I heard the Smithsonian was using bones of giants to hide the Epstein files....

Nothing they say is worth anything and they’ll say anything for attention and should be laughed at every time they speak

Anything to distract the citizens from the Epstein Trump child rape and trafficking

MrBallen has a video about a team of US soldiers in Afghanistan being attacked by a twelve-foot-tall red haired man who came out of a cave, with six fingers on each of his hands. He supposedly killed one of them with a spear.

It's obviously not real believable, but honestly, it makes a little more sense if you read about travel in the wild places of the world. There are places in Africa with pygmies running around in some places, certain villages where all the men are just huge, there's just wild stuff in the non homogenized places. It kind of makes sense.

Not the Smithsonian thing or the angels thing. This dude's out of his fucking mind and the MrBallen thing is very likely to be trumped-up horseshit. I'm just saying the whole "giants" thing is actually really plausible.

this is the equivalent of your drunk uncles bigfoot story

Which is why MrBallen is great

Is this actual true crime? Or some random bullshit about ghosts that is clearly nonsense? Who knows, it's all presented with 100% the same authoritative tone throughout. He has the best and most detailed summary of the Russian navy's invasion of Japan that I have seen, and he also has stories about ghosts and UFO encounters. Drunk uncle FTW
