Conspiracy theories, false claims and more

Patricia Silva, who is running for the borough assembly in Fairbanks against Savannah Fletcher, has scrubbed her Facebook page of dozens of crackpot claims and lies.

She said millions of children have been abducted and their body parts have been sold. She said that the Rev. Billy Graham, the Queen of England, Tom Hanks and President George Bush were pedophiles and members of the illuminati, a secret society.

She said 1,366 children were found dead on the cargo ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, while 1,245 others were rescued. She said the rescued children were going to be trafficked by deep state perverts. She said a nuclear weapon was found onboard the ship.

She said the COVID virus is harmless. She said the vaccine has a chip in it to track people. She said that aspirin would have prevented deaths from COVID. She said the goal of the vaccine program is to depopulate much of the world.

I wrote about some of these outbursts on Aug. 23 before the Fairbanks motivational speaker and life coach removed them from public view.

The Daily News-Miner also covered the story, but both my blog post and the newspaper account did not convey the full scope of her unhinged claims. She appears to be unable to separate fact from fiction.

With the municipal election coming up, Fairbanks voters need to know about Silva and the endless conspiracy theories and lies that she believes are true. This is newsworthy because she decided to become a candidate for the assembly.

Here is a catalog of screenshots showing what used to be on her Facebook page.
