A large conspiracy group who claim the coronavirus pandemic is somehow one big fraud have gathered at a Cranbourne gym, with Eve Black — who bragged online about driving through a Melbourne checkpoint — a guest speaker.

A conspiracy theorist who filmed herself laughing after breaching a police roadblock is at it again, attending a large gathering at a Cranbourne gym.

Eve Black, who calls the pandemic a “SCAMdemic” on social media and uploaded vision of her interaction with officers at a lockdown checkpoint last week, attended a large conspiracy theory meeting at The Combat Athlete gym in Cranbourne on Sunday night.

Nick Patterson posted a photo of the meeting on social media which showed the group were not social distancing or wearing masks.

Mr Patterson wrote: “A great night together discussing the putrid conduct of the police, government and media lies.”

“We are strong and won’t bow down to these oppressors,” he said.

“Eve Black thank you for sharing your experience with us and how the Mainstream Media created a work of fiction. With their slanderous narrative to demonise you, a true libertarian.

God bless the righteous and give them power to prevail.”

Black responded: “Thank you for having me there. It was so amazing to be in a room full of people who support and celebrate me during this tough time.”

Her actions last week were roundly condemned by politicians and health experts, and Ms Black is likely to receive a knock at her door from police.

Several conspiracy theorists also took to the Facebook congratulating the group on their efforts for holding the meeting.

One person wrote: “Well done guys, Fight the power.”

Another wrote: “We must stand up we must stick together.”

It can also be revealed the group is planning to hold a meeting on Saturday, August 1 at 6pm.

Black has no regrets about her public stunt last week, posting a message on her Facebook page saying “I regret nothing. I’m just tired of the abuse and threats. Wake up, sleeper” with the emoji of a sheep.

She also posted a quote purportedly from Melbourne Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kaye saying “it is an ancient principle of the common law that a person under arrest has no obligation to stop for police or answer their questions.

Victoria Police has been contacted for comment.
