Anti-Vax Flat Earth Preacher Rob Skiba Dies From COVID-19

Source: Crooks and Liars





10/15/21 4:51am

"The one scenario that really does appear to be coming into focus is the likelihood that within I’d say 2 to 3 years or so... one of us will probably be dead," Skiba posted to Facebook to those getting vaccinated.


Skiba was calling vaccine mandates the "mark of the beast" from Revelations way back in 2012. He thought COVID-19 vaccinations were dangerous, posting on Facebook, "To those who disagree with my position on our current situation... One of us is right,” he wrote.

Rob Skiba made a really bad bet.


Rob Skiba, an influential figure in flat earth and Christian circles, has died of COVID-19, colleagues announced on Thursday. He had been fighting the virus since at least late August, when he began exhibiting symptoms after “Take On The World,” a biblical flat earth conference. “He has been sick since coming back from TOTW,” a Facebook friend posted in early September, adding that Skiba had been hospitalized for low oxygen levels. One of the country’s most prominent advocates of Flat Earth Theory, Skiba was also skeptical of COVID-19 vaccines and some of the illness’ treatments. On the first day of the Take On The World conference, Skiba authored a Facebook post suggesting that the COVID-19 vaccines were dangerous.

‘To those who disagree with my position on our current situation... One of us is right,” he wrote. “Unless YHWH miraculously intervenes, based on what I’m seeing/hearing, the one scenario that really does appear to be coming into focus is the likelihood that within I’d say 2 to 3 years or so... one of us will probably be dead. Truly, I take no joy in saying this, nor will I if I'm the one still standing.”......................

by Omaha Steve because the source was 'Crooks And Liars' . Will this one be locked also? It isn't the source that validates whether a story is valid or not, it's the story itself and the facts behind it.

Just had to get that off my chest.

Well now he can look down from the "Pearly Gates" (if he in fact went in that direction), and see the Earth is not flat.

This one is truly disturbing. Because it shows what we are up against. This is third level brainwashing.

Maine Lawmaker Buries His Wife Who Died From COVID, Attends Anti-Vax Rally

"Chris Johansen, who has been a fierce opponent of pandemic restrictions, joined a rally at which a colleague compared the governor to a Nazi."

A few weeks ago we brought you the story of Rep, Chris Johansen, Maine Lawmaker Who Downplayed Virus, Mocked Vaccines, Contracts COVID-19. He and his wife both caught it. He recovered. She didn't.

Cindy Johansen died on August 10 after almost a month in hospital with COVID. Her last Facebook post read, "It's absolutely horrible to be alone."

Both she and her husband were active in Republican politics, both were vehemently anti-mask, anti-vaccine. Both ended up in the hospital with COVID. Only one of them came home. A few days after burying his wife, Chris Johansen was back to his old self, attending an anti-vaxxer rally. This one even had another Republican calling their Democratic Governor a Nazi for imposing a vaccine mandate on Maine healthcare workers.

Here’s my 1 word answer when people ask why those MAGA and Anti vax folks can’t seem to grasp the unreality of their thinking. Jonestown ! How did all those people get convinced to line up and die? All 900+ of them? Made no sense yet they did it.

I couldn’t figure out what the heck was wrong with him. Now I know. Sadly, I see no sign that Skiba’s death is going to wake him up. If anything, it has deepened his brainwashing.

There is no escape short of their own, personal death for a lot of these people.

Flat Earth is NOT a scientific theory.

It is a crackpot belief of IGNORANT, SCIENTIFICALLY ILLITERATE MORONS.

Creationists and flat earthers. AAARGH. Those two things trigger THIS LIB!!!

Too bad it's poisonous fruit. I'd rather humiliate these feebs in a debate than see them buried.

I can only hope this inspires a few of their suckers to go get vaccinated
