I think these tweets are directed at us (the apostles)? At least, that's my theory… SBB tweeted this: The image comes from Bertrand Russell's analogy called Russell's teapot (credits: eve) If we apply this to our case, it would mean that it is up to us to prove that P is telling the truth and not to his detractors to prove that he is telling lies. As quoted by Luigi, the article on the Simpsons episode says: Could this be a message that P would like to send us? We wait for P to come out with new viddles and new tweets, but when he does, we don't spend much time trying to solve his riddles. Of course, this is all guesswork and I have no explanation for the part of his tweet mentioning Mr. Turtle.

Probably because he presented the Truths in nice way... By the way, what happened with him?

No idea... He registered on this forum at the very beginning (July 14, 2021) only stayed logged in for 2 minutes and never logged back in since... On GTAF, he logged in on January 1, 2022 for the last time but hasn't posted anything since April 2021. I will send him a message on GTAF to see if he reacts.

After watching the Simpsons episode, I am less sure of my theory above. This episode draws a caricature of the mechanisms of conspiracy theories creation. In the episode, it is emphasized that, in the end, what is important for a conspiracy theorist is not to discover the truth, but to defend a marginal idea shared by a small group of individuals in order to feel understood and accepted by this group (as opposed to his relationship with the "mainstream" society that does not accept him as he is).
Quick summary of the episode: At the beginning of the episode, Homer is mocked by the citizens of Springfield for being dumb. This makes him unhappy. Then he goes to visit the zoo and doesn't see the turtle in the enclosure where the turtle is supposed to be. He then becomes convinced that the turtle has been kidnapped and on the internet he finds people who are willing to agree with his theory. They create a group of conspiracy theorists. At one point, he discovers that the turtle was not kidnapped, but was in fact hidden in a rabbit hole (😂) in the zoo. However, he hides this truth from the rest of the group because he doesn't want to lose the group they created. He eventually tells them the truth, but rather than disband their group, they decide to look for other conspiracy theories they can get behind.
Now, let's go back to Russell's teapot... We can clearly make a link between this analogy and the conspiracy theories. The idea is that of a hypothetical teapot orbiting the Sun, between the Earth and the planet Mars. According to Russell, believing in it (and asking people to believe in it) under the pretext that it is not possible to prove its non-existence is insane.
So in summary, in these tweets, there seem to be many allusions to the theme of conspiracy theories And in the Simpsons episode, as in TLFS, there is a missing turtle. In The Simpsons, the turtle didn't really disappear, what about TLFS?
Finally, in PF141 "Aye", there were all sorts of wild theories (the hacker's name being teapot, it didn't help 😂)... Perhaps P's reference to conspiracy theories is a response to that?

It's definitely possible. I have to confess that when the guy started posting naming himself "teapot" it gave me some chills. P might be adressing the leak's repercussions and consequences.

I hope you don't mean that R* will change everything because of the hack :/
