Skitzocow Chris Constantine / Gorilla199 - Prolific Batshit Christian Conspiratard, Hustler of Counterfeit Merch, Recently Back from the Dead

[Cato]

Meet Chris Constantine:

This face might look familiar to some of you, as this guy has been online and attracting attention to himself due to his insanity for the past decade. When I first joined this site, he was one of the first people I tried to look up, and I was very surprised he did not have a thread already. He has been on youtube for over 10 years and has uploaded hundreds of bizarre, rambling, conspiracy-laden videos. His ultra-Christian name is appropriate considering that his conspiracies generally revolve around everyone but himself and his girlfriend being Satanists/Freemasons/lizard people/aliens who are enemies of God.

Like most people aware of him, he came to my attention in 2008 with his magnum opus; a video about the Large Hadron Collider creating a portal for evil alien-demon-gods to come to earth and bring about the apocalypse. Watch the first 35 seconds of this video for a good introduction to what Constantine is about and why he's a lolcow:

I believe that this huge gadget has been built for one purpose only and that is to disrupt a hole in the Van Allen Belt which surrounds the Earth. What for? To allow the return of the Anunnaki from the Planet Nibiru in order that they can come here, corrupt the rest of the earth, and do battle with God at Armageddon.

He also regularly analyses what he perceives to be subliminal messages hidden in mundane symbols, images, signs, buildings, and anywhere else he can find them:

I haven't watched all of his videos (as it seems like that would take months) and he casually references new ridiculous conspiracy theory angles and features regularly, so my understanding of all of his beliefs is far from complete, but they include the following (credit to Encyclopedia Dramatica as well as @Bosnian Wizard; I wasn't even sure where to start with summarizing all of this this but found an old post of his about this guy when searching to confirm he still didn't have a thread, and borrowed some of his key beliefs from there and the ED page):

-Satan lives on the planet Nibiru with evil alien lizard people.
-These same lizard people (who he refers to as "Tares") are also living on earth, disguised as humans.
-He believes that 20% of the world's population and 99% of business are owned by lizard people and Freemasons.
-These Masonic organizations can be identified by various symbols in company logos and building designs.
-Freemasons are allied to Satan and the Tares, working against God and humanity.
-Various scientific facts and theories are anti-Christian propaganda (standard religious right nonsense) perpetuated by lizard people (less standard nonsense).
-Tall people are demons.
-Chemtrail conspiracy theories.
-The Nazi party was created in opposition to Jesus two thousand years ago in Nazereth (hence the "Naz" in the name).
-Almost all symbols, any religion or belief system besides Christianity, and pretty much everything and everyone but Chris and his girlfriend, are satanic.

He also has an unusual habit of coming to his senses about certain batshit insane beliefs and deleting videos, while leaving other equally batshit insane content up. Perhaps there is some rational part of his brain in a constant battle with his schizo side.

Even putting his clear derangement aside, another obvious indicator of whether one qualifies as a lolcow is their handling of criticism. Chris checks the usual boxes in this respect: he has a long history of deleting critical comments and blocking the people who leave them, and/or accusing them of being satanists/aliens/lizard people/Freemasons/etc:

The deletions result in the comments sections on his videos being echo chambers of people endorsing, agreeing with and enabling his lunacy. For example, as I type this, these are the top three comments on his latest video:

How does a person so dysfunctional manage to feed, shelter and clothe themselves? Well, a decade ago Constantine and his girlfriend got busted running a decently lucrative counterfeiting racket out of market stalls as well as online.

Defence barrister Michael Phillips said Constantine was suffering from a serious psychiatric condition and had been at the time of the offences.

No way!

In spite of selling counterfeit goods to police on multiple occasions during their investigation, he still maintains he dindu nuffin and claims that the image of him in the BBC article was doctored. Also, as a sidenote: the BBC article also mentions that his girlfriend became a nurse, and I find it terrifying that a woman who would shack up with this guy would be able to enter the medical profession.

Now, I mentioned a month and a half ago that Constantine had been inactive for 2 years and there had been rampant speculation that he had died. In light of this, you may be wondering why I'm creating this thread now. The answer: he's back! A week ago he uploaded a (now deleted) video claiming that he discovered something so big that he got scared and couldn't speak about and had to run away (because apparently Satan and his army of evil lizard people and Masonic sympathizers were no threat to him in comparison to this latest revelation). But now he's broke and doing some ebegging and will disclose this super top secret information to people who fork over cash via paypal. What a deal! He mentioned he's looking at getting a Patreon as well.

It's distinctly possible we'll see more from him soon enough, so I thought a thread was due.

So he's like a slightly more socially aware @Brad Watson_Miami?

I'd also give him credit for being less repetitive than Brad. In spite of making like 500 videos, this guy pulled new theories out of his ass on a regular basis.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

I was just about to say I'd heard his name from a "Feeding the Trolls" episode and Weasel seemed absolutely convinced this dude was dead.

Yeah, Constantine himself enabled that speculation by uploading a (now removed) "RIP gorilla199" video a year after his inactivity and a year before his current return.

He clarified in his new video, and edited the description of that video, to reflect that he meant his gorilla199 youtube channel was dead, not that he himself was. He also pointed to a new youtube channel of his; the only upload so far is a supposed UFO sighting he had a week ago:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqmyizmRsf0Lhgh3IsLk5Bw

I'll edit the new channel into the OP if he actually becomes active with it. Keeping an eye out for what account/platform he releases new content on, or where his exclusive donor content inevitably gets leaked to.

 

[Aristophanes]

So he's an oldschool brit-conspiritard like David Icke then? Conspiritards in the UK are a special breed indeed, and people are less likely to buy into their bullshit over here than they are in the US.

Bingo, you're spot on. Funny enough though, even though one would think they'd be natural allies, he's actually feuded with Icke.

Here's a (absolutely horrifically edited) video Constantine uploaded of him harassing Icke:

If you go to YouTube you'll see many other videos he's done about Icke in the related videos.

He has also accused Icke of being one of the very lizard people Icke purports to expose. lol

 

[Tranhuviya]

-Tall people are demons.

He's not wrong.

 

[Cato]

Well, it looks like he's actually going to make some use of his new YouTube channel, so I've added it to the OP.

Today he uploaded a topical video asserting that soccer fields contain Satanic messages about 9/11:

Ended with some ebegging, asking to be sent money via PayPal to complete his "documentary."

 

[Keerakh]

Ive missed him.

 

[Cato]

I'm happy to report that he's back to analyzing cryptic pagan messages again.

But with an equally delusional wife:

Who he used to make and sell bootleg DVDs with:

Suspended sentence for DVD pirate

DVD pirate Chris Constantine was sentenced at St Albans
A former market stall holder who made thousands of pounds selling illegal copies of films has pledged to a judge not to do it again.
Chris Constantine, 49, was given a suspended jail sentence at St Albans Crown Court and told Judge Stephen Warner: "You won't see me again."

Constantine, of Islington, London, was sentenced after being convicted last year of infringing copyright.

He sold goods at Bovingdon Market near Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

Constantine rented a pitch from Wendyfair Markets on the disused airfield at Bovingdon.

In 2004 and 2005, it was alleged the market developed a reputation for selling counterfeit goods, particularly films, music, clothing and computer games.

Trading standards officers estimated that as much as 20% of the goods were fake.

Mental health treatment

Constantine and his partner Louise Taylor, 31, were said to have made approximately £30,000 between May and November 2005 from their stall.

He made illegal copies of films in his home and sold them at the market and on a website called Film Zip.

Defence barrister Michael Phillips said Constantine was suffering from a serious psychiatric condition and had been at the time of the offences.

Judge Stephen Warner imposed a 12 month jail sentence, which he suspended for two years.

He also ordered Constantine to carry out 280 hours unpaid work and made it a condition of his two year supervision by probation that he received treatment for mental health problems.

The judge told him: "The conduct you engaged in was quite unacceptable.

"You have got to stay away from behaviour like that in the future."

In December Taylor, who is now a nurse, was given a suspended prison sentence for selling counterfeit goods and told to carry out 40 hours unpaid work.

But with an equally delusional wife

I was actually impressed that a batshit insane old man who made his money from movie piracy was able to hook up with a woman almost 20 years younger than him who had a legit professional job (nursing).

Maybe there really is someone out there for everyone.

-Satan lives on the planet Nibiru with evil alien lizard people.

ain't that the fuckin planet from star wars

Close, but that's the closest I got to anything remotely sounding right.

https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Nabooru

Not Star Wars, but close: it's a planet in Star Trek Into Darkness.

It was originally a Babylonian term to refer to the equinox, but it's been used as a planet name in a lot of fiction and conspiracies since.

 

[NobleGreyHorse]

Not Star Wars, but close: it's a planet in Star Trek Into Darkness.

The one from the Star Wars prequels is just "Naboo." It is the location where some of the cringiest love dialogue ever forced into an actor's mouth was uttered ("I don't like sand. It's coarse," etc.) and is also the home planet of Jar Jar Binks, who can't be called a lizard person so much as a... a long-eared frog person with donkey teeth... who is famous for stepping in poop, getting his tongue caught in an engine, and casting the vote to approve the fascism that became the Galactic Empire. Actually, if Constantine just got it slightly wrong and the aliens stumbling around earth are not "Tares" but Gungans, that would explain a lot. Maybe Brian Blessed should be watched to see whether he really is the boss of these things.

Edit: Not only has Constantine missed out that the o's on the Camden Road bridge look much more like the power button symbol than anything else, but he is absolutely freaked out by statues of horses. I hope to fuck he never goes as far north as the Firth of Clyde to see the enormous Clydesdale statues called "The Kelpies."

 

[Cato]

He may have returned to producing videos more regularly!

Uploaded yesterday:

Uploaded today:

The activity is on his new account ("Nibiru Palace The Movie"): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqmyizmRsf0Lhgh3IsLk5Bw

Interesting activity in the comments section:

 

[Cato]

After another long hiatus, he dropped some classic content today:

Also, he has removed a bunch of videos where he was ebegging for funding for his "documentary" idea, so that's probably out the window now (although I doubt he'll be issuing any refunds if anyone handed him any money).

 

[Hellbound Hellhound]

This guy has been posting his craziness on YouTube for probably over a decade at this point, and he's had his fair share of pointless internet slapfights with other YouTube lolcows over the years. My personal favorite was when he managed to rile Coughlan666 up to the point where Coughlan threatened to hunt him down and kill him, but it was so bizarre that I can't remember for the life of me what their disagreement was about anymore. Coughlan's channel was banned shortly after that.
