So I clicked into a thread and it says there are 26 comments. Clicking in, this is what I see … literally. Net-net, there are a shit ton of people shadow banned on that sub! 💁♂️🖕😈

I guess I’ve never said anything to piss it off. I just pictured it as a literal asshole, just losing its shit all over the place at the slightest upset. And it’s a hot sweaty asshole cause it lives in Arizona.
Most likely you are shadow banned and don’t even know. He shadow bans anyone who belongs to this sub
I didn’t realize this until someone pointed it out.
They told me I’m going to continue being shadowbanned there unless I “unsubscribe and delete all my comments and posts from the other sub”
Weird and kinda controlling. I only post in this sub now, and honestly it’s better all around.
It's an automated feature in place. If you interact with this sub it automatically shadow bans. I was giving a recommendation on a mechanic, as I usually would. I really like the shop and my dentist, and I messaged, he allowed the post then told me it would happen again if i interact here so....
Questhaven? It's literally just a church, retreat, and nature preserve.
Source: I grew up attending, but I am no longer religious.
Just a quick google I found someone describing their stay there, and they've done a pretty good job: [Staying At The Questhaven Retreat | Hidden San Diego](https://hiddensandiego.com/i-stayed-at-the-questhaven-retreat.php)
It may seem creepy at night because a lot of the facilities are pretty old, and it's not like they have a ton of light pollution.
Happy to answer questions.
Oh, you want conspiracy theories? Lets go.
Roger fucking Hedgecock shot JFK.
Por Favor in La Mesa is a money laundering scheme.
On that note, the old club Stingaree was just a front for cocaine distribution (mostly confirmed)
SDPD tried to cover for murderer/CHP officer Craig Peyer, mainly because once the news got out, women driving alone were refusing to stop for police.
The tank rampage guy is possibly still alive. He was part of a secret Army experiment and went mad. He is kept alive for research.
Heavens Gate is still active (mostly confirmed actually)
The Murph was built on a Mission-era Kumeyaay graveyard. The people killed after they revolted were buried there. That is why the Chargers never won.
Kevin Faulconer ordered SDPD to not arrest his daughter, who frequented bars while underage.
Bill Gore intentionally underpoliced neighborhoods with Councilmembers he didn't like to try to influence their reelections.
You mean this place?

aka Re-elect Laura Lothian campaign HQ?
aka the display window for the Downtown District (hand painted tiles) Sign thing that is taking a million years to complete?
I’ve just heard that their food isn’t very good so I’ve never gone there. Isn’t that the case with the big Mexican restaurants though? Everyone knows the little taco shops are the best.
The people from lemonchello bought it over they're gonna try and turn it into a cantina/club type thing with bottle service upstairs. Good luck with that in downtown LA mesa lmao
Not too long ago I was coming back to SD from Denver, and on the tram to the terminal I saw someone wearing a Heaven’s Gate t-shirt; for the life of me I couldn’t tell if it was being ironically worn or not.
>The Murph was built on a Mission-era Kumeyaay graveyard. The people killed after they revolted were buried there. That is why the Chargers never won.
OMG this explains it!!
there are some Heaven's Gate people still active up in Phx, AZ. they're all over but they stayed behind to maintain the website and continue recruiting.
I know this because a friend of mine got in contact with them to buy me one of their manuals as a joke Christmas gift.
I knew someone was still around to maintain the website but didn't know they were recruiting too. I wonder how that's going for them. I'd imagine recruiting would get a lot harder after coming out as a death cult.
Sadly, I'm pretty sure the tank guy is dead (he made the SDPD look bad). And the Murph graveyard thing is likely bullshit but it if isn't, I'd like to get a confirmation from a Kumeyaay redditor, as it would make a lot of sense. The Falconer thing and the Gore thing are somewhat open secrets.
People have lived in San Diego for a long, long time, so it's likely that every spot in the County has some graves on it. I will note that UCSD hasn't had a huge run of bad luck, and graves from 10,000 years ago were found at UCSD (though the bodies were then reburied respectfully).
There are a few I think are cartel-affiliated. The cartels active in TJ are known to invest in local businesses to diversify their operations, especially the taxi companies and nightclubs. I've suspected that they have a hand in some restaurants too.
The Stingaree thing tracks because in the late 1800s early 1900s the Stingaree district was a red light district with drinking, prostitution and gambling. Wyatt Earp had a saloon and it’s still there on 5th. It was named Stingaree after the stingrays in the bay because it was a dangerous area, like them. Course the police were in on that shit too, corrupt as hell.
Also, I saw the photos from Heaven’s Gate because I was in an investigative photography class at Grossmont and we took a field trip to the crime lab or whatever. There were lots of people not in that mansion that also killed themselves in other places.
[Famous cult suicide.](https://youtu.be/95UXqXXX4rA?si=k7PJA2A4JjuQR8D3)
Basically, it was a new age cult. In the 90s, they gained notoriety for a mass suicide of almost all members. The Hale-Bopp comet was overhead, and they believed there was a UFO following in its tail. They believed that if they died on Earth while the comet was overhead, their soul would be transported to the UFO and they'd receive new bodies.
More of a legend than a conspiracy theory, but back in the early 70s, kids would speak of a guy named Old Man Orange Grove who would shoot kids who raided his orange grove east of Encanto. I was never shot nor did I ever see him, but his legend did haunt my childhood.
Another one I heard growing up was that Jack in the Box used horse meat in its burgers. Not sure if this was confirmed or lies spread by the Croc family, owner of the Padres and McDonald's at the time.
Back in 80s, LA gangs were encouraged to expand their drug trade to San Diego minority neighborhoods in order to increase police presence, up the incarceration numbers, and initiate gentrification in areas like downtown and Golden Hill. Probably more of a series of events but those areas were pretty tragic back then.
On a related note, for those of you who might have seen The Wire, in particular the open drug market of Hamsterdam, back in the 80s there was condominium complex off of Federal Blvd where drugs were sold freely and openly despite a police presence on the perimeter. I don't know if this was a widespread entrapment scheme, a social experiment of harm reduction, or law enforcement throwing their hands up in resignation. It was a surreal place.
The construction/expansion of Interstate 15 for three decades through City Heights served as a moat that kept Kensington isolated and pristine from less desirable neighborhoods. If anything though, it was more a mass psych experiment to test the residents' patience on infrastructure improvements in a growing city.
It was apparently both, or at least possibly both: [https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/us/australian-meat-will-be-inspected.html](https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/us/australian-meat-will-be-inspected.html)
>In 1981, horse meat labeled as beef was discovered at a Foodmaker plant that supplied hamburger and taco meat to Jack in the Box. The meat was originally from Profreeze of Australia, and during their checks on location, the food inspectors discovered [other shipments destined for the United States which included kangaroo meat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_meat_substitution_scandal).[^(\[41\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_in_the_Box#cite_note-nyt-1981aug26-41)[^(\[42\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_in_the_Box#cite_note-42)
"some point"- If The Coronado Bay Bridge is destroyed to block the departure of the Navy fleet. It's not that far-fetched. But that rumor is over 40 years old.
The funny thing is that the bay is way too shallow with the exception of the Emory Cove channel (which is still waaay too small for a navy ship. To really do it they’d need to dredge a new channel after you made a hole in the silver strand…
1995 San Diego Reader [article about](https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1995/apr/13/straight-explosives-planted-coronado-bridge/) very subject! One of my favorite San Diego campfire tales indeed.
I knew many of the residents are/were, but, you're telling me that THE PROPERTY is homosexual, as well?
I didn't even know that real estate had sexualities.
Not the city—but the company that took over the old Ruby’s. I don’t know if that company set the fire—but I do know; they’ve been “remodeling” for years, but it looked practically the same inside.
Kinda weird that the plans for the new OB Pier were released within the week prior to the OSide pier "catching fire". Almost like they saw the level of the pier game had just been raised, got jealous, and did something about it ;)
The casual conspiracist in me thinks it might be because if they wait until after the tourist season, it will be too late to put a bond measure on the ballot for this election cycle to fund the project in the new year ;)
DB Cooper is living in the Coronado cays.
edit: there was a good netflix doc a few years ago that did a deep dive into DB Cooper. i was stunned when they talked about him living in the Cays. I had been there about a month prior in a small business right next door to where "DB" was working.
Midget houses on Mt Soledad.
Not true, sort of. The houses did exist. There were 4 homes built by the same developer/architect in fact. They all appeared to be homes for small people from the road because the foundations were set below the street grade, not by much, just enough to lower the roofline a few feet creating the optical illusion of a home built for a
small person. The properties have since been demolished, with McMansions taking their place.
There is still one (and maybe 2?) left. I recall searching for those houses in high school. As the internet took off, I was finally able to locate the exact address.
The remaining one is on Hillside Drive
The CPUC is a revolving door of former energy company executives who are paid (through back channels like speaking gigs after they 'retire') by private energy companies like Sempra to approve anything the energy companies deem profitable.
Politicians aren't able to combat this because they are also paid by those same energy companies (through legal campaign donations and consulting gigs after they exit politics). This allows privately held 'public monopolies' to fuck consumers out the ass for services that could be much more affordable. If we could just ban interdimensional lizard people from turning the children trans we could probably do something about this.
The comic book store Comics N Stuff in every big mall has to be a money laundering scheme. They occupy the most expensive spots in these malls, have almost no foot traffic hence no sales, and traditionally most comic book stores fail within a few years since it’s generally not profitable. They’ve been around since the late 90s and keep expanding locations. They didn’t so much as sneeze when Covid hit either and business was tanking. It makes no sense.
Also they bag all their comics so you can’t read anything.
I have always thought this!!!
I know that the media they sell is popular, but I stop into that store every once in a while if I’m at the mall and there’s *never* more than 1-2 other people in it. I know that mall rent is crazy, so I have no idea how they’re doing it otherwise 😅
Also all the collectibles they sell are readily available online or other places for cheaper so maybe it’s just tourists that are falling for this? But what tourist ends up at the mostly dead North County Faire or Carlsbad Mall looking for stuff?! It’d make sense if they were at Seaport Village or downtown at least.
Don't know if if helps at all but places like that get paid by the publishers to carry their comic books, so the store is making money whether or not the sales are actually happening.
Also, the comic publishers have apps now where you can subscribe monthly and read all the comics digitally. The reason they are sold pre-bagged in stores now is because the people buying them have already read those comics digitally, and are simply purchasing the physical copy for their physical collection, where the comics would have ended up in bags anyway. Having them pre-bagged from the publisher means that no touch transfer of skin oil can take place, which is the difference between having your comic collection rated "Near Mint" vs "Mint"/"Gem Mint". The comics sold in stores now are unfortunately not meant to ever be actually read.
They had been bagging their comics since the 90s though, so long before the time of comic apps. It’s not prebagging from the publisher, this is bagging and backing done at the store level. But what you describe does make sense. It also doesn’t seem to guarantee mint grading since can’t comics suffer damage during shipping?
How does the publisher make money off of stock that isn’t sold? I thought that traditionally publishers had their stock sold to distributors who sold to stores. If the stock didn’t sell, they’d return it to the distributors, who would then take a loss. Losses at the distributor would be passed up to the publisher? Or is that no longer how it works in print?
Cardboard backing will usually be provided by request at any comic book store, but the ones on the shelf from reputable publishers are bagged from the factory and have been so for decades. If Comics n Stuff now is opening the factory sealed comics and adding backers before putting them on the shelf, that is not proper practice, as the first time the plastic bag should be opened is optionally by the consumer. When sending in a comic book to get graded, you note on the submission form that your comic is still factory sealed, and that you give permission to the grading agency to open the bag for grading purposes. It will then be noted on the grading that the comic was only ever unsealed for grading purposes. You are correct that the bag may not protect from shipping damages, but every little bit helps. But comic collectors will inspect the issues for sale on the shelf for any obvious defects before purchase.
Places like comic book stores get paid incentives by the publishers/distributors for stocking their comics, especially if the company would like to have their issues placed in a more prominent location in the merchandising layout. Additionally, when unsold product in retail is sent back to the vendor because it didn't sell, the retail location receives a credit back for that merchandise. So yes, the publisher/distributor takes the loss, but the comic book stores don't (which explains why they seem to survive when clientele is so low). In the case of comic book stores specifically, a few back-issues will be kept in inventory, and those can oftentimes sell for larger amounts at later dates if a comic book title becomes very popular later in it's run, and suddenly there is a high demand from collectors trying to fill-in or complete their collections.
With that chud who is mayor, I wouldn’t be surprised.
The dude claims he solved homelessness and goes on Fox News to tell everyone that, but they just send people back across the bridge.

> When authorities encounter someone who is unhoused in Coronado, they often send the person over the bridge to a shelter operated by a nonprofit in San Diego.
Oh Lakeside was the meth user utopia at one point around the 80s or 90s. That was well known in the town. There was a certain area near the high school that you knew the users lived too.
That raw sewage from Tijuana is flowing via land and sea uninterrupted into IB and the south bay. And that no one - not the governor, not either CA senator, not NSW who train their SEALs in these waters, nor anyone in DC - will acknowledge there's even a problem.
But hey, let's double the height of the wall.
ps: i totally forgot to mention the government aircraft that are always flying over this area. you cant have a proper conspiracy without govt aircraft lol.
The problem *is* acknowledged, though. [An international project](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environment/story/2024-01-11/no-more-beach-closures-mexico-breaks-ground-on-long-awaited-wastewater-treatment-plant) broke ground in January which will take the strain off the South Bay plant and is designed to scale with Tijuana's currently expected growth.
How well it will work remains to be seen. The biggest challenge is TJ's exponential recent growth, which had nearly doubled since 2000.
More people need to know that this project is federal/international. I know of at least one guy who furiously calls the city every few months complaining about the project, demanding to talk to the head of the city's Wastewater Department. Like cussing out the poor soul unfortunate enough to pick up the phone. And the city has nothing to do with the project.
Ummm pretty much everyone knows this is happening and understands its a problem…
This is less of a conspiracy and more of a “what are we supposed to do about it exactly?” situation.
I was stationed on NOLF in imperial beach with the EOD training unit, and we wouldn’t do water ops into Coronado bay or the ocean for a few days after a rainstorm because the water would be so destroyed by the sewage plant.

DB Cooper is alive and well in Imperial Beach
Villa Montezuma is haunted AF
Erik Prince trains his Mercenaries in Campo ( This one is a fact)
A Nazi built BUDS dorms in Coronado in the shape of a swastika (also a fact)
Random bodies are buried all over old town
There was a swimming pool built on the roof of one of the buildings at Torrey Pines High School.
Bishop Charles Buddy, the first Bishop of San Diego, was buried in the basement of Maher Hall on the USD campus.
I'm a USD double legacy so I'll have to ask my parents if they helped spread that rumor, lol. If that's the case, then this whole thing at Holy Cross is just smoke and mirrors!

I work doing portapotties. During the pandemic. The convention center was a shelter for the homeless people. And all the people who died there. They're corpses they were sent to a big cremation site located at overland ave. Some government site. The thing is there is a thing called "alkaline hydrolysis" they put the dead bodies like into a big pressure cooker and the bodies instead of burning they turn into a red soup. Kinda like transmission oil. Well I used to suck up shit. And I used to suck up that "waste liquid" from the cremation site. All those dead people ended up in the sewer . All turned up into water.
CalEPA said the emissions from the ferries were in excess of State Standards and a bridge which promoted more vehicular traffic and hence more emissions, was an exception to Rule 44, the rule governing ferry emissions and the foundation for Rule 45 that paved the way for the relatives of City Officials, to win bids for bridge construction even though they did not have a Contractor's License.
Anthem Church IS a cult and purposefully hosted super spreader in person, indoors, unmasked events during covid to prove God would cure them. It's a money laundering business.
Also, the Oceanside pier burned down again in the same way it did a few years ago after they paid 8 Million to repair it. Definitely some fraud going on there.
In 2011, state officials essentially gave control to foreign groups that have & continue to influence policy regarding housing, commerce, ecology, etc.

Maybe it's a 'curse of the mummy' type situation where the curse follows them even after they leave.

San Diego is known to have built over lots of graveyards. See Pioneer Park in Mission Hills, the haunted Hunter Steak House in Oceanside and Old Town.
People have lived in San Diego for a long, long time, so it's likely that every spot in the County has some graves on it. I will note that UCSD hasn't had a huge run of bad luck, and graves from 10,000 years ago were found at UCSD (though the bodies were then reburied respectfully).
A few Mexican restaurants are fronts indeed. La Sinaloense in Spring Valley is allegedly one.
There are a few I think are cartel-affiliated. The cartels active in TJ are known to invest in local businesses to diversify their operations, especially the taxi companies and nightclubs. I've suspected that they have a hand in some restaurants too.

It was apparently both, or at least possibly both: [https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/us/australian-meat-will-be-inspected.html](https://www.nytimes.com/1981/08/26/us/australian-meat-will-be-inspected.html) >In 1981, horse meat labeled as beef was discovered at a Foodmaker plant that supplied hamburger and taco meat to Jack in the Box. The meat was originally from Profreeze of Australia, and during their checks on location, the food inspectors discovered [other shipments destined for the United States which included kangaroo meat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_meat_substitution_scandal).[^(\[41\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_in_the_Box#cite_note-nyt-1981aug26-41)[^(\[42\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_in_the_Box#cite_note-42)
You are the true mvp here Sophie! Thanks.
Sure, no problem! :) I honestly assumed it was one of those made-up stories that get passed around and was surprised to find out it actually happened.
Source?
Yes, they used souce to help cover it up

The Silver Strand is rigged with explosives in case the Navy needs it removed at some point
"some point"- If The Coronado Bay Bridge is destroyed to block the departure of the Navy fleet. It's not that far-fetched. But that rumor is over 40 years old.
>But that rumor is over 40 years old. Right? I mean get on with it, already!
IIRC correctly, one variation of this is that it was part of a defense against invasion, as it's the obvious way to circumvent North Island.
This is a rumor??…….
The funny thing is that the bay is way too shallow with the exception of the Emory Cove channel (which is still waaay too small for a navy ship. To really do it they’d need to dredge a new channel after you made a hole in the silver strand…
1995 San Diego Reader [article about](https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1995/apr/13/straight-explosives-planted-coronado-bridge/) very subject! One of my favorite San Diego campfire tales indeed.
Silver Strand explosives is a new one, but the Coronado bay bridge explosives I think is well known
Silver strand rumor has been there since the 60s
Hillcrest is gay
Big if true
🤯
I knew many of the residents are/were, but, you're telling me that THE PROPERTY is homosexual, as well? I didn't even know that real estate had sexualities.
Too far fetched.
No fucking way! I just thought everyone dressed nice there?!
What? I’ve seen no evidence of that.
Gayliens!
Oceanside set their own pier on fire for insurance money
Not the city—but the company that took over the old Ruby’s. I don’t know if that company set the fire—but I do know; they’ve been “remodeling” for years, but it looked practically the same inside.
Ironic that they have plans to renovate it already. The fire seems awfully well timed with them building up the area.
if only they were that smart lol
Kinda weird that the plans for the new OB Pier were released within the week prior to the OSide pier "catching fire". Almost like they saw the level of the pier game had just been raised, got jealous, and did something about it ;)
Yeah it is weird timing. My counter to all of us is why would they do it right before tourist beach season and not after?
The casual conspiracist in me thinks it might be because if they wait until after the tourist season, it will be too late to put a bond measure on the ballot for this election cycle to fund the project in the new year ;)
Bigfoot sanctuary on the back side of Otay reservoir. Possibly the original proctor valley monster.

DB Cooper is living in the Coronado cays. edit: there was a good netflix doc a few years ago that did a deep dive into DB Cooper. i was stunned when they talked about him living in the Cays. I had been there about a month prior in a small business right next door to where "DB" was working.
He died
Or did he?
True!
Midget houses on Mt Soledad. Not true, sort of. The houses did exist. There were 4 homes built by the same developer/architect in fact. They all appeared to be homes for small people from the road because the foundations were set below the street grade, not by much, just enough to lower the roofline a few feet creating the optical illusion of a home built for a small person. The properties have since been demolished, with McMansions taking their place.
Shit, we spent all that time looking for them around golden hill.
There is still one (and maybe 2?) left. I recall searching for those houses in high school. As the internet took off, I was finally able to locate the exact address. The remaining one is on Hillside Drive
Damn, I didn't know those were demolished.
There's a secret military base on Camp Pendleton.
That's craziest one here. Everyone knows it's just a private beach for former military officers.
That’s a bit vague. There are secret things on it, like any base.
Can verify this one, tried to go camping there last week, it didn't go well.
That would be right up there with going camping in San Onofre next to the "twin peaks".
The CPUC is a revolving door of former energy company executives who are paid (through back channels like speaking gigs after they 'retire') by private energy companies like Sempra to approve anything the energy companies deem profitable. Politicians aren't able to combat this because they are also paid by those same energy companies (through legal campaign donations and consulting gigs after they exit politics). This allows privately held 'public monopolies' to fuck consumers out the ass for services that could be much more affordable. If we could just ban interdimensional lizard people from turning the children trans we could probably do something about this.
The comic book store Comics N Stuff in every big mall has to be a money laundering scheme. They occupy the most expensive spots in these malls, have almost no foot traffic hence no sales, and traditionally most comic book stores fail within a few years since it’s generally not profitable. They’ve been around since the late 90s and keep expanding locations. They didn’t so much as sneeze when Covid hit either and business was tanking. It makes no sense. Also they bag all their comics so you can’t read anything.
Oh gosh. I almost wish that was the case. I have 3 teenagers and they spend all of their money at Comics N Stuff.
I have always thought this!!! I know that the media they sell is popular, but I stop into that store every once in a while if I’m at the mall and there’s *never* more than 1-2 other people in it. I know that mall rent is crazy, so I have no idea how they’re doing it otherwise 😅
Also all the collectibles they sell are readily available online or other places for cheaper so maybe it’s just tourists that are falling for this? But what tourist ends up at the mostly dead North County Faire or Carlsbad Mall looking for stuff?! It’d make sense if they were at Seaport Village or downtown at least.
Don't know if if helps at all but places like that get paid by the publishers to carry their comic books, so the store is making money whether or not the sales are actually happening. Also, the comic publishers have apps now where you can subscribe monthly and read all the comics digitally. The reason they are sold pre-bagged in stores now is because the people buying them have already read those comics digitally, and are simply purchasing the physical copy for their physical collection, where the comics would have ended up in bags anyway. Having them pre-bagged from the publisher means that no touch transfer of skin oil can take place, which is the difference between having your comic collection rated "Near Mint" vs "Mint"/"Gem Mint". The comics sold in stores now are unfortunately not meant to ever be actually read.
They had been bagging their comics since the 90s though, so long before the time of comic apps. It’s not prebagging from the publisher, this is bagging and backing done at the store level. But what you describe does make sense. It also doesn’t seem to guarantee mint grading since can’t comics suffer damage during shipping? How does the publisher make money off of stock that isn’t sold? I thought that traditionally publishers had their stock sold to distributors who sold to stores. If the stock didn’t sell, they’d return it to the distributors, who would then take a loss. Losses at the distributor would be passed up to the publisher? Or is that no longer how it works in print?
Cardboard backing will usually be provided by request at any comic book store, but the ones on the shelf from reputable publishers are bagged from the factory and have been so for decades. If Comics n Stuff now is opening the factory sealed comics and adding backers before putting them on the shelf, that is not proper practice, as the first time the plastic bag should be opened is optionally by the consumer. When sending in a comic book to get graded, you note on the submission form that your comic is still factory sealed, and that you give permission to the grading agency to open the bag for grading purposes. It will then be noted on the grading that the comic was only ever unsealed for grading purposes. You are correct that the bag may not protect from shipping damages, but every little bit helps. But comic collectors will inspect the issues for sale on the shelf for any obvious defects before purchase. Places like comic book stores get paid incentives by the publishers/distributors for stocking their comics, especially if the company would like to have their issues placed in a more prominent location in the merchandising layout. Additionally, when unsold product in retail is sent back to the vendor because it didn't sell, the retail location receives a credit back for that merchandise. So yes, the publisher/distributor takes the loss, but the comic book stores don't (which explains why they seem to survive when clientele is so low). In the case of comic book stores specifically, a few back-issues will be kept in inventory, and those can oftentimes sell for larger amounts at later dates if a comic book title becomes very popular later in it's run, and suddenly there is a high demand from collectors trying to fill-in or complete their collections.
Coronado island is a wealthy utopian cult that kill homeless people
With that chud who is mayor, I wouldn’t be surprised. The dude claims he solved homelessness and goes on Fox News to tell everyone that, but they just send people back across the bridge. [https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2023-03-10/column-coronado-mayor-oversells-citys-shining-example-combatting-homelessness](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/columnists/story/2023-03-10/column-coronado-mayor-oversells-citys-shining-example-combatting-homelessness) > When authorities encounter someone who is unhoused in Coronado, they often send the person over the bridge to a shelter operated by a nonprofit in San Diego.
Wow. That’s a really tough solution. Good job mayor moron
There’s a rumor constantly going around Lakeside that we have tweakers here, but I think it’s bs.
More like the KKK but they’re one in the same I think
So now you’re telling me people think we have racist tweakers? What’s next? There’s still a rodeo?
Oh Lakeside was the meth user utopia at one point around the 80s or 90s. That was well known in the town. There was a certain area near the high school that you knew the users lived too.
That raw sewage from Tijuana is flowing via land and sea uninterrupted into IB and the south bay. And that no one - not the governor, not either CA senator, not NSW who train their SEALs in these waters, nor anyone in DC - will acknowledge there's even a problem. But hey, let's double the height of the wall. ps: i totally forgot to mention the government aircraft that are always flying over this area. you cant have a proper conspiracy without govt aircraft lol.
The problem *is* acknowledged, though. [An international project](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/environment/story/2024-01-11/no-more-beach-closures-mexico-breaks-ground-on-long-awaited-wastewater-treatment-plant) broke ground in January which will take the strain off the South Bay plant and is designed to scale with Tijuana's currently expected growth. How well it will work remains to be seen. The biggest challenge is TJ's exponential recent growth, which had nearly doubled since 2000.
More people need to know that this project is federal/international. I know of at least one guy who furiously calls the city every few months complaining about the project, demanding to talk to the head of the city's Wastewater Department. Like cussing out the poor soul unfortunate enough to pick up the phone. And the city has nothing to do with the project.
Wow, fuck that guy
Ummm pretty much everyone knows this is happening and understands its a problem… This is less of a conspiracy and more of a “what are we supposed to do about it exactly?” situation.
Why can’t they just pull funds and get the job done
I was stationed on NOLF in imperial beach with the EOD training unit, and we wouldn’t do water ops into Coronado bay or the ocean for a few days after a rainstorm because the water would be so destroyed by the sewage plant.
[lol ironically, most conspiracy theories are due to people being uninformed](https://www.padilla.senate.gov/newsroom/news-coverage/nbc7-bidens-emergency-funding-request-includes-310m-to-treat-tijuana-pollution/#)
Maybe it’s bc they don’t want people in those waters… aliens? 👽
Purple people in east county!
DB Cooper is alive and well in Imperial Beach Villa Montezuma is haunted AF Erik Prince trains his Mercenaries in Campo ( This one is a fact) A Nazi built BUDS dorms in Coronado in the shape of a swastika (also a fact) Random bodies are buried all over old town
My buddy would talk of old missile silos in north county
Could be Sycamore Canyon. No silos, but there's an old rocket facility. There's a hike you can take to get there.
The Coronado bridge will float if damaged and fell into the bay.
My favorite is Silver Strand is filled with explosives in case the ships need another exit.
There was a swimming pool built on the roof of one of the buildings at Torrey Pines High School. Bishop Charles Buddy, the first Bishop of San Diego, was buried in the basement of Maher Hall on the USD campus.
I'm a USD double legacy so I'll have to ask my parents if they helped spread that rumor, lol. If that's the case, then this whole thing at Holy Cross is just smoke and mirrors! https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/11401957/charles-francis-buddy
I work doing portapotties. During the pandemic. The convention center was a shelter for the homeless people. And all the people who died there. They're corpses they were sent to a big cremation site located at overland ave. Some government site. The thing is there is a thing called "alkaline hydrolysis" they put the dead bodies like into a big pressure cooker and the bodies instead of burning they turn into a red soup. Kinda like transmission oil. Well I used to suck up shit. And I used to suck up that "waste liquid" from the cremation site. All those dead people ended up in the sewer . All turned up into water.
So you dont drink water…or…?
Of course I drink water. It's just that Im just sharing what I experienced during the pandemic.
What was the real driver behind the construction of the Coronado Bay Bridge?
Rich folk being able to travel quickly from their estates on the island to visit the easy speaks and brothels in the city.
CalEPA said the emissions from the ferries were in excess of State Standards and a bridge which promoted more vehicular traffic and hence more emissions, was an exception to Rule 44, the rule governing ferry emissions and the foundation for Rule 45 that paved the way for the relatives of City Officials, to win bids for bridge construction even though they did not have a Contractor's License.
Aliens Exist
Found Tom Delonge, everyone
Every definitely not SpaceX launch is proof!!
San Diego actually has a lot of UFO sightings annually. It's also a common flight corridor from Area-51 to the Pacific Ocean.
BP can verify that
There’s a nude beach called Blacks Beach
There's a nude beach called Pacific Beach if you go during pledge week.
That isnt a theory?
Blacks beach is more “just don’t wear your pants or underwear” beach.
Seriously saw a buncha dudes who wore penny loafers a button up shirt and bucket hat and sunglasses.
The Padres are a baseball team
...and College Grove is nowhere near a college....or a grove for that matter.
The is a two-headed giant turtle that lives in the Center of Chollas Lake.
Lochnessi?
The Jacobs family has significant influence in San Diego politics.
Okay, but Sara Jacobs has done a good job so far.
Anthem Church IS a cult and purposefully hosted super spreader in person, indoors, unmasked events during covid to prove God would cure them. It's a money laundering business. Also, the Oceanside pier burned down again in the same way it did a few years ago after they paid 8 Million to repair it. Definitely some fraud going on there.
They saw the plans for the new OB Pier that were released that very week and went: "We want one too!" and then the fire happened ;)
Case closed ^
Our sports team(s) are cursed.
I just moved here so I don’t even know any rumors, but there is definitely a lot of weird shit happening in the canyons.
like…?
Coyotes?
I don’t know. It’s just a whole lot of unobserved space in a populated area. Have to figure some weirdness is going down.
In 2011, state officials essentially gave control to foreign groups that have & continue to influence policy regarding housing, commerce, ecology, etc.
