ed T end0 Egg Price Tinfoil Hat Nuttery


This post concerns a 5/13/2025 comment from the blog of "Rattrapper", which is one of Mystere's (aka ed T end0) sockpuppets.

The following are querries that I submitted to the AI Chatbot Copilot, followed by Copilot's repsonses...

Me: What do you think about this blog comment: Must I remind you about Phyllis Fong, the FDA agent who terrorized ranchers and ordered their healthy chickens to be all shot dead? The bird flu was staged by the Biden Administration before Trump took office. The investigation into Phyllis Fong is ongoing. The ordered mass chicken slaughtering stopped after Phyllis Fong got caught and taken out of her position.

Copilot: This blog comment is highly misleading and contains multiple false claims.

Phyllis Fong was not an FDA agent -- she was the Inspector General of the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture), overseeing investigations related to agricultural policies.

The claim that bird flu was staged by the Biden Administration is baseless -- avian influenza outbreaks occur naturally and have been documented long before Biden took office.

The idea that Fong personally ordered mass extermination of healthy chickens to terrorize ranchers is false. Standard USDA protocols require culling infected flocks to prevent the spread of disease, but there is no evidence that she orchestrated a fraudulent extermination campaign.

The claim that Fong was removed from her position due to an investigation is unverified -- while she was dismissed in early 2025, there is no credible evidence linking her removal to an alleged conspiracy.

This comment appears to be a mix of conspiracy theories and misinformation, likely intended to stoke outrage rather than present factual information. If you're interested in fact-checking political claims, it’s always worth checking reputable sources before accepting statements like this at face value. Have you encountered similar exaggerated claims in this blogger's posts? Either way, it's clear this one doesn't hold up under scrutiny.

Me: He says this is why egg prices have come down recently. Because Phyllis Fong is gone.

Copilot: That claim doesn't hold up -- there’s no credible evidence linking Phyllis Fong’s removal to the recent drop in egg prices.

Egg prices fluctuate due to multiple factors, including avian flu outbreaks, feed costs, supply chain disruptions, and consumer demand. While Fong was dismissed in early 2025, reports debunk the idea that she personally orchestrated mass poultry exterminations to inflate prices.

The bird flu outbreaks that affected egg prices were real, not staged, and the USDA’s culling policies were based on standard disease control measures rather than a conspiracy.

It sounds like this blogger is pushing a narrative rather than engaging with actual economic data. Have you noticed him making similar claims about other price fluctuations? Either way, this one doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

Me: According to this blogger, Phyllis Fong is a member of the CCP and was in that position to do deliberate sabotage. Placed there by Joe Biden because Joe Biden was paid by President Xi to do his bidding. As per this blogger, Joe Biden is a "White Chinaman".

Copilot: There is no credible evidence supporting the claim that Phyllis Fong is a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or that she was placed in her position to sabotage U.S. agriculture. Fong served as Inspector General of the USDA from 2002 to 2025, spanning multiple administrations -- including Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.

The idea that Joe Biden was paid by President Xi to do his bidding is an unverified conspiracy theory with no factual basis. While Biden and Xi have had diplomatic engagements, there is no evidence of financial transactions or secret agreements between them.

As for the term "White Chinaman", it appears to be a derogatory phrase used by the blogger to imply Biden is acting in China’s interests—but again, this claim is not backed by any credible sources.

Verdict: ed T end0 is a certified nutjob.
