Conspiracy theories and other assorted craziness

[ZombieFriedNuts]

Go on what’s you favorite conspiracy theory you can make one up if you like you don’t need proof.
I hear HM the Queen is a giant lizard person.

[Banquo's Ghost]

I hear HM the Queen is a giant lizard person.

That's not a theory - Dr Who proved it.

Anyway, my personal favourite whacko theory is that the US never landed on the moon. Lots of crazies love that one and it's so deliciously conspiratorial, using all the usual suspects - government, Hollywood, media, the Amish...

:laugh4:

[Marcellus]

My favourite conspiracy theory is a flat earth explanation for how satellite phones work: the signal are broadcast from very tall towers and aeroplanes.

There seems to be indication that the US govenrment made a 'back up video' to show to the public in case actual footage of the moon landing couldn't be broadcasted.

[naut]

Yes. I heard about that doc, and I guess it makes sense to an extent.

Is that a resent one or an old one?

[Duke Malcolm]

Hippies are peaceful, long haired, free-loving folks. That conspiracy scares the bijesus out of me...

9/11 Conspiracy Theory. Makes you think, but hard to fathum

[naut]

And there is the conspiriracy that a plane did not fly into the pentagon, but it was a cruise missle?! :dizzy2:

Yup, evil Bush decided to make a hole in his own High Command building so he could invade ... uh, a place with nothing interesting?

I seem to remember one conspiracy theory in which the evil Nazis had a massive uderground base in Antarctica, planning to take over the world. :laugh4:

[Bar Kochba]

my fave one has always been the protocals of the elders of zion.

we jews rule the world....

and by some chance we also caused the murder of king Charles I:juggle2:

[Marshal Murat]

Philidelphia project.
During WWII, the supposed teleportation of a warship, and the hiding of the ship with electromagnetic pulses.

[Avicenna]

The abduction of Elvis by aliens. :laugh4:

Read a bit about conspiracy theories, and the SARS one seems to be vaguely possible.

[doc_bean]

Some favourites:

-AIDS was made to kill homosexuals
-AIDS was made to kill black people
-space travel is fake (on a whole different level than a fake moon landing, imagine no satellites...)
-Evolution is a lie spread to undermine christianity
-the great Zionist Conspiracy
-the nazi were aided by aliens
-Elvis WAS an alien

[edyzmedieval]

Wacky Races DO EXIST. ~:cool:

And this WACKY THREAD exists too. :laugh4:

[Marshal Murat]

Pokemon Blue issues subliminal messages that promote the Jewish faith.
No really! Look on Wikipedia, and under banned games, it has Pokemon Blue, banned in Saudi Arabia.

[Ianofsmeg16]

The Theories put forth By (more recently) The Da Vinci Code, that the church is the head of a worldwide conspiracy that hides the drew meaning of the holy Grail.

Just enough True History to make it believable by the average reader....Better Educated peopel on the other hand...

[Lemur]

I've always had a soft spot for the conspiracy theory that the Teletubbies were teaching homosexual lifestyles to little children. Can't remember who put it forward, but it was a big deal for about a week.

Didn't someone also claim that SpongeBob was teaching Satan worship or something? As a parent, I don't see how other parents find the time to investigate all of these subliminal conspiracies ...

[Avicenna]

Oh, also, this crazy theory about the Illuminati having 9 major families which are secretly controlling the world, being the cause of the world wars and other crazy ideas like that.

[Lemur]

I want to join the Freemasons, just so that I can witness the conspiracy firsthand. Also, that way when the Illuminati and the Freemasons combine to take over from Z.O.G., I will be positioned to foist Maxwell as ruler of the Earth.

Everything comes back to making my son ruler of the world, really. You may laugh if you like. Oh, look, Lemur's making that silly joke again about his son ruling the Earth. Isn't that funny? Isn't it precious? Good thing he's kidding.

You keep telling yourself that.

Ha, :laugh4:, Well the two male teletubby's toys were a handbag IIRC? When do males have handbags?

that theory has been there for ages, and i saw some documentories and other stuff bout it, and it sounds pretty good. though i dont really believe in it.

THE BIGGEST CONSPIRICY THEORY IS THAT ONE OF LIFE, or its a myth actually.

[Zalmoxis]

Freemasons, nothing like that one.

[edyzmedieval]

Harry Potter promotes occultism and wizadry, banned by the Catholic Church.

And what's wrong with Pokemon Blue? :inquisitive:

[English assassin]

I've got an interest in arctic/antarctic history, so imagine my delight when I discovered three "hollow earth" books in a second hand bookshop recently (this is the theory that the earth is in fact a hollow sphere, and you can get into the middle through holes at the poles.) the first was published about 1900, the last about 1930

They are a hilarious read. Funnily enough they are all very defensive about how "men of science" will rubbish the theories put forward.

[Upxl]

You’re on to us Stranger.

We people are afraid of strange things we cannot explain.
You should know that. :inquisitive:

[Justiciar]

Belgium isn't real. Anybody that claims to be Belgian is infact part of a long-standing joke that has gotten so far out of hand that many "Belgians" themselves now take it seriously.

[Peasant Phill]

All Belgians know that Belgium isn't real. The only thing that keeps us together is our mutual love for beer, fries and an annoying habbit of trying to keep everybody happy. Luckely the first two go a long way to accompish the third.

I'm in no way implying that Belgium should seperate but we don't score to well on the aspect of effectiveness and effeciency of our government

All hail beer, waffles, chocolats and fries.

All hail beer, waffles, chocolats and fries

We're still closer together than say the Spanish, or the Northern Irish with the UK, or the Kurdish part of any country that has a Kurdish part...

The fun thing about conspiracy theories is their telfon-coated ability to deflect factual debunking. This is because most well-contructed conspiracy theories rely upon some sordid, secret all-powerful group having the "proof" and either hiding it or destroying it. This way, all a conspiracy theorist need do is claim that there is or was proof, it has just been hidden or destroyed. When facts get in the way, they can easily be blamed on the all-powerful secret organization/government/aliens too, as red herrings obviously designed to detract from the "truth" of the conspiracy. Non-believers are obviously brainwashed and debunkers work for the conspirators. The more powerful the real organization/government/group, the more likely they are to be the target of conspiracy theories. That makes it easier to accuse them of destroying the proof. Too funny.

My favorite silly conspiracy theories are two which apparently occupy the same space at the same time doing opposite things to control our minds: the "vast right-wing conspiracy" and the "liberal media bias conspiracy" are just too funny. Their proponents should be sterilized to prevent such obvious nonsense from spreading in the gene pool. :laugh4:

They can't both be controlling the media at the same time...

Or can they? :inquisitive:

Cue spooky music.
