The Google Translate Conspiracy

-

So you guys know the conspiracy theory about google translate right? If not I suggest watching Nick Crowley's video on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=617Mtg0_dq4

Anyway, it's basically the theory that human traffickers are using google translate as means of communication. The gibberish phrase "owo uwu owo" in Igbo translates to "human trafficking" despite not actually being an actual translation in the language. Other slightly modified phrases of the gibberish changed the translation in what seemed like bargaining deals and other contextually disturbing messages (again I suggest watching the video).

This theory got an explanation by a Quora user: https://www.quora.com/Igbo-speakers-why-does-owo-uwu-owo-translate-into-human-trafficking-on-Google-translate

"The problem is Google Translate has a functionality called “suggest an edit”. If you translate something and spotted an error you can submit a “fixed” version and Google will try to learn from it. In an ideal world, users should use this functionality in good faith and only use it to improve the quality of a translator. In reality, bad users exist, but the damage of bad faith actions is usually limited because as long as there are enough “good” users, their influence would be diluted. However, for languages like Igbo, which is less used on the Internet, a few “bad” users can wreck more havoc. They can submit whatever sentence they want and since they are basically the only data points, they can actually affect the final translation result. And even if I want to correct it, I don’t understand Igbo so I cannot even help. It’s easier to come up with something nasty and teach Google, than to fix it, because the former does not require you to actually understand the language but the latter does.

Sorry, but you just discovered the dark side of human nature."

This seemed to debunked the whole theory right? Well... kind of.

You see, the whole debacle could just be some mischievous users trolling the internet for a laugh. However, personally, I'm not completely sure. Igbo isn't a well known language and is kind of obscure in the eyes of the internet. The fact that people can suggest edits to Translate doesn't change the fact that the theory COULD actually be legit. Human traffickers could have used this easy access way to communicate however, when more media attention was drawn to it, they abandoned it.

The code was suddenly thrust into the limelight, with thousands of people checking it for themselves. More people with much less sinister motives could have messed with the translations, suggesting their own edits and changes. Now, when you plug in many of the phrases featured in the video, they are different and some completely unrelated. But phrases not featured in the video still have sinister and creepy messages.

For example, "owo uwo woa owo woo wow aow owa owa loo lle owo wu uo owo" translates to "You see, there are times when you just can't seem to get your money's worth" which seems like an EXTREMELY specific and targeted message and another piece of evidence that this theory is indeed true.

​

TLDR:

The theory that Google Translate was used as a human trafficking code might really have been true but the system was destroyed by media attention.

What does "src usa" mean?

-
You've seen it on the glove Tom Hanx ig post, you've heard about it in the wayfairgate evil if you are on twitter. What does it mean? My guess is "src" is short for "satanic ritual child". "sra" is well documented short for "satanic ritual abuse" Also, the wayfair building has the fmason black and white pattern design on the roof (see photos) which is symbolic for "good vs evil" and can be seen in many of their lodges. One other thing; george soros (who also paid actors to riot and destroy buildings, and also paid to deliver palletsof bricks to said rioters) owns wayfair and is a fmason. submitted by /u/kasseek [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracytheories/comments/hpjq82/what_does_src_usa_mean/

Mark Passio's A.R.K (Amazing Repository of Knowledge) Available For Download

I just found out this had been uploaded online. Usually you would send him a 2TB hard drive and he'd put the ark drive on it free and send it back to you but someone has uploaded it to one drive. I think it's an important resource for everyone in these times of abhorrent censorship. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AEtU9hlXH01zOFg&id=A0C5EBFDBB29ECFC%21104&cid=A0C5EBFDBB29ECFC From Mark's site: "I have been online since the days before the World Wide Web became popular. Since that time, I began collecting, studying and archiving information about our world and the events that have been occurring in it. I never left it to chance that information I came across during my search would always be available online. So, whenever I found something that I thought was worthwhile, I downloaded it and backed it up offline. As you can imagine, this much data archiving would result in an enormous amount of material. Quite frankly, it would be hard for me even to desc...

If there is a Marek's disease scenario due to the leaky vaccine being promoted, that will mean every human will need a shot or will die

-
This scares the pants off of me, the more I think about it. Basically what happened is chickens had this disease called Marek's disease that caused tumors but wasn't usually fatal. In 1970 they invented a leaky vaccine (one that didn't prevent infection but only lessened symptoms). What resulted was a mutation of Marek's disease that now KILLS EVERY SINGLE CHICKEN WHO GETS IT. The vaccinated chickens are able to maintain a high viral load while being healthy, enough to quickly kill an unvaccinated bird. So if you own chickens, and they're going to be in contact with other chickens, you HAVE to vaccinate them or they can die easily. From a disease that was originally a nothingburger, but is now super deadly because of this leaky vaccine. Read the related wiki entry to understand the science better: The first Marek's disease vaccine was introduced in 1970. The disease would cause mild paralysis, with the only identifiable lesions being in neural tissue. Mort...
