On January 21, 2017 protests and marches took place in Memphis, TN. In this mist of the political activism 23 year old Peter McIndoe held up a sign and began yelling "BIRDS AREN'T REAL". He explained that birds were exterminated by the US government between 1950-1970 and replaced with surveillance drones to spy on US citizens. Since then his movement has gained thousands of follows and they have even protested in front of Twitter headquarters in San Francisco.
The only problem, it's a 100% known fabricated conspiracy hoax. This conspiracy has become Generations Z's stress response to rising conspiracy theories and misinformation. Listen as Vic tries to guess if this theory is even possible. Marcus suspects a certain military official could be behind the whole bird extermination. The conspiracy's leader claims their conspiracy is a safe place for people to decompress from other conspiracies and misinformation out there, however our hosts put that idea to the test.
