What Conspiracy Theories Do You Believe In?

These mad cunts have always existed but now they have the fuel of the internet to feed their insanity.
I think it’s ironic really, the information they have as proof comes from the internet.

One of my favourite things she posts is that Biden is a clone, her proof being a photo of his fucking ear lobe 25 years ago compared to his fucking ear lobe today.

Fuck him for ageing!

It’s a form of mental illness. They think they are smarter than the rest of us, because they have a level of insight that we don’t possess.

They seem incapable of applying logic and reason to the questions we all ask.

I don’t think I have all the answers, and I don’t doubt that some of the views I have on conspiracy theories will be misconceived, but things like the moon landings or the moon itself being fake are so absurd I would want nothing whatsoever to do with someone like that, because i would have absolutely no respect for them.

As always, a cracking post, sir.
 
yep. My mrs being a good example. She also has several ex-colleagues who, after 10 years in the job have neurological illness. A couple have died young
Who knows what all these chemicals we deploy to make the modern world are doing to us?

Seems perfectly plausible that prolonged exposure to aviation fuel could lead to long term health issues.

It’s the old Hitchens refrain of “can’t reason yourself out of something you didn’t reason yourself into.”

In my experience a lot of these folks are the type of people who did terribly in maths and science at school, but rather than face their own inadequacy it’s more comforting for them to believe the entire academic community is at fault and they’re actually the ones with some special kind of insight.

Life is bleak, and often dull. And people like to believe in things that give them a sense of purpose, irrespective of their basis in fact. Same as most religion. Simple wishful thinking has a lot to answer for.
 
Dorothy Kilgalllen

Highly respected journalist and TV celebrity in the US between 1940-60's

When The Warren Commission was published about The JFK assassination she wasn't convinced and decided to do her own investigation about it and especially Jack Ruby.

She was found dead in her house in November 1966.

The coroner concluded she died of an accidental overdose of alcohol and barbiturates.

However to this day her family claim she was murdered by the CIA or possibly the Mafia as she got too close to the truth
What family is this? An important and overlooked (by the conspiracy community, obviously) is that she was at home with her husband and family on the night she died.

The basis for theories around Kilgallen is a belief that she had interviewed Jack Ruby and had received information that she was soon to impart in a revelatory account. Drilling into this it was eventually established that she had never, ever, interviewed Ruby. She had, in public at his trial during a recess and in company with several others, just had a brief chat.

The main exponents of the theory, or those responsible for pushing it, were Penn Jones Jr and then repeated as fact by fantasist weirdo Mark Lane. Tracking back the provenance of their information though, the actual source of it all was actually her flipping hairdresser.

The findings of the toxicology report were accidental OD. To conspiracy theory minded folk though, there is no such thing as an accident.

Yeah, that sums it up. And there will be as many of them here as in the States, but the difference there is the proliferation of guns. Absolutely disastrous mix.
 
I’m not sure that’s especially plausible, given it would need to connivance of the security services and, most likely, the military.
You're right. The influence of reading the original house of cards got the best of me.

I'm just cynical they will turn something tragic into a political advantage.
