Robert David Steele, a former CIA officer who dabbled in conspiracy theories and was once a major QAnon promoter, sadly passed away aged 69 today. Tragically, up until the last minute he did not believe he had Covid or that getting vaccinated could have prevented his death.

The tweet's author is much more forgiving about this dick dying than I am.

Fuck this guy.

1. So you can work in "intelligence" without any intelligence whatsoever. Sounds about right.

Mark Tassi today is announcing the death of his friend, former CIA officer Robert David Steele, of covid. Steele was a frequent guest on Alex Jones, and known for his vaccine, 9/11, and Sandy Hook conspiracies. Naturally, Tassi has a conspiracy that the hospital killed Steele.

Robert David Steele’s last social media post, and one of his more infamous conspiracies.

9. I fixed his social media post for him

With love to all of you, I survived! My oxygen level has gone down to zero. I tested positive for whatever they're calling "Death", but the bottom line is that none of my vital organs are functioning. The good news is that I will survive with some time off. My family has made the decision to shelter me in a box in a dark place. I expect to be back soon.

18. I'm bad, I laughed

[Rorey]

24. Thank you

I thought it was funny as I was typing it.

He was so delusional.

[sdfernando]

33. Sounds about right.

“Intelligence officer” ???….not so intelligent after all.

[monkeyman1]

39. people use that word so loosely & some don't even know the meaning of the word !

[reACTIONary]

46. +10 nt

[Arkansas Granny]

3. That guy fucked himself.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. That is just pathetic

[hatrack]

5. Welp, another near-death experience that wasn't. . . .

Buh-bye.

[niyad]

6. Another waste of resources gone.

[Baked Potato]

7. Waste of bed space. Nt

[Rorey]

8. Cause of death: Being a f**king idiot

That's what should be on his death certificate.

[bahboo]

10. hmmm..Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist....fuck him...

[Canoe52]

27. And a "Mars child slavery expert"

The stupid, it burns.

[NewHendoLib]

11. "sadly" no,ignorantly

[LisaL]

12. Conspiracy theorist till the very end.

NT

[dalton99a]

13. It is good that he is dead.

Traitorous piece of shit

[Croney]

14. Comments on FB announcements about his death are amusing.

Either he was murdered, or he's in witness protection. The Kool-Aid flows.

[LisaL]

16. Well, he can't be both murdered and in witness protection.

They got to pick one or the other. Or something else entirely.
How does "alien abduction" sound?

[Silent3]

34. Who says you have to pick one?

Conspiracy nuts are good at compartmentalizing, and terrible at self-consistency and logic, so they often believe things that couldn't all be true at the same time.

[littlemissmartypants]

41. Decompartmentalizing?

[Silent3]

42. No, I meant compartmentalizing

Putting incompatible ideas into different compartments of your mind so they don't bump up against each other and cause you any discomforting thoughts, such as possibly being wrong about something.

[littlemissmartypants]

43. 👍❤

[dalton99a]

19. +1. Did he really die? Where is the body?

[lostnfound]

15. "A network that put me into a good hospital in Florida"

The good hospital is filled beyond capacity.
Yet this guy denies covid exists.

No sense of responsibility, just entitlement.

[Ziggysmom]

17. Good riddance pissant!

[Ocelot II]

20. Another one down...

[kairos12]

21. Stealing treatment and a bed for someone who legitimately needed. Good riddance to trash.

[brooklynite]

22. I listened to some of his QANON videos back when h and others were claiming...

…that Biden Inauguration was fake and Trump would be back any day now.

In his speech, Steele said that former Donald Trump legal team member Sidney Powell is facing a million-dollar defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems, a voting machine company at the center of conspiracy theories related to the election.

“We want fair and honest elections,” he said. “Electronic voting machines were created in order to designate the winner before the first vote is cast. And I absolutely guarantee you that my friend Sidney Powell is going to kick Dominion’s ass.”

Steele also blames the U.S. government for the 9/11 terrorist attacks despite contrary conclusions reached by the 9/11 Commission, which released its findings in 2004. He said Israel was behind the attack while former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld were “inside guys.”

Steele also “absolutely” believes that high-ranking Democratic Party officials were running a human trafficking and child sex ring out of a pizza parlor.

25. Curly Bill has a message for this fool:

[llmart]

26. Thanks, Robert for decreasing the surplus population.

Next? We know there are plenty more out there like him.

[Jon King]

28. Another obese anti-vaxxer.

Being a fitness buff who thinks you can beat Covid if you get it is silly....being overweight and thinking it is pure insanity.

Being 79, overweight, and an anti-vaxxer....that is another level of a death wish.

[LymphocyteLover]

29. "Fuck this guy"-- my thought exactly

What. An. Asshole.

[Hulk]

30. Adios, stooge.

America is a better place without him.

[dchill]

31. Not too swift, was he?

[COL Mustard]

32. Once Again, Zero Fucks To Give

If you don't want the vaccine, then please, hurry the fuck up and die already so the rest of us can get back to living.

[liberalla]

35. Nevilledog, do you know if there's a place on DU where we are keeping track of these deaths?

The anti-vax , covid denying, conspiracy loving, trump-humpers, that have kicked the bucket? I am referring to the ones with a public media or social media presence/audience. The people who were in a position to influence and promote these lies (and will lead many others to their deaths also)?

There seem to be quite a few conservative radio people, and also church leaders/pastors/etc. that have made that same mistake (refused the vaccine), preached about it, and now share the same fate... But I can't remember them all.

If we don't have a list somewhere... well, we should!

[Nevilledog]

44. Don't think there's a list anywhere

[malaise]

36. So did he get Covid at the Slobfather's Alabama rally?

Asking for a friend

[FakeNoose]

38. Another fool for Chump dies

I'm sure Chump has no idea who this guy is, and this death means nothing to Chump.

[LW1977]

49. He's a sociopath

He wouldn’t care if Traitor tot, Ivanka, Eric, Tiffany or Baron died.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

40. A Sandy Hook theorist...those jackwipes really caused a lot of pain.

For people already in the worst agony I could ever imagine.
A sadistic scumbag liar is dead.
Fuck him. I hope he suffered. A lot.

[Historic NY]

45. My niece says they all sound like they are feeling find, and then whamo

Another body bag wheels out to the reefer truck

[LW1977]

47. Two pandemics, COVID and the stupid pandemic

[barbtries]

48. these people! won't listen to the doctors

but boy do they go running to them when they get sick. FFS

[Grokenstein]

50. "Sadly"? "Tragically"?

That's sweet, but...yeah. I'm on board with the N-Dawg's last sentence in the OP.
