Birds Aren’t Real – An Evening with Peter McIndoe

Описание: Join us for a groundbreaking evening as we delve into the shocking world of bird drone surveillance. Peter McIndoe, founder of the viral “Birds Aren’t Real movement” engages in a Q&A with Amanda Ohlke, Director of Adult Education at the International Spy Museum, and it’s a conversation that may just end up in the Bird Truther history books.

McIndoe created the satirical conspiracy theory "on a whim" in January 2017. After seeing counter-protestors at the 2017 Women's March in Memphis, Tennessee, McIndoe wrote "Birds Aren't Real" on a poster and improvised a conspiracy theory amongst the counter-protestors as a "spontaneous joke".

The movement claims that all birds in the United States were exterminated by the federal government between 1959 and 1971 and replaced by lookalike drones used by the government to spy on citizens; the specifics of these theories are not always consistent, not unlike actual conspiracy theories. They claim that birds sit on power lines to recharge themselves, that birds defecate on cars as a tracking method, and that U.S. president John F. Kennedy was assassinated by the government due to his reluctance to kill all the birds.

On Instagram and TikTok, Birds Aren’t Real accounts have racked up hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views, YouTube videos about it have gone viral.

Come learn about how the government systemically removed 12 billion birds and replaced them with surveillance drone replicas designed to spy on the public. Banned and confidential information will be revealed at this reading, so please come emotionally prepared.
