    Well I sometimes sound a bit conspiratorial when talking about the Catholic Church. But it's not so much that I believe in any sort of organised conspiracy, more that I just see the direction in which the 'historic forces' are tending to go.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    As I've mentioned before, I firmly believe that FDR had prior knowledge of an imminent attack on Pearl Harbor, or at least the presence of a Japanese battle fleet sailing towards Hawaii with no apparently justifiable reason, and allowed it to happen. That's about as conspiratorial as I get.

    I once had this elderly customer at work who started rambling about how her dad used to take in Japanese Americans during WWII, and then she told me that her dad's secretary sent a telegram to FDR or somebody begging him to take the sailors off of the boats at Pearl Harbor before the attack came.

    I don't believe in conspiracy theories but I love listening George Noorey on Coast to Coast AM, they talk about some interesting stuff on there.

    The relations of the means of production serve to deprive the proletariat of their freedom, and the ideology of the ruling class serves to keep the masses ignorant of the true conditions of the reality of their exploitation.

    But that isn't really a conspiracy, it is fact.

    Also Pearl Harbour is pretty much fact as well, not really a conspiracy.

    As for conspiracy theories, there is the whole "Operation Northwoods" which was seriously considered.

    Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

    I don't know if it's conspiratorial- but I don't trust anything to do with our Military Industrial Complex.

    The Jews bombed Pearl Harbor. FDR was a secret Catholic Jew.

    Theorist? I know that Barack Obama, Sergei Lavrov, Michael Jordan, Dr. Manhattan, and Bob are covering up an alien spaceship that landed in York five years ago on the 31st of April.

    There is still one in Hachiman - don't know about the other fora. Which one was real? None? All?

    This thread is in dire need of a Rod Serling voice-over.

    Well, to be accurate, I enjoy conspiracy theories, but I don't tend to believe them. That is, I find them fascinating. In the same sense, I like cryptozoology (the search for mythical creatures) but I do not strongly believe one way or the other.

    Related to this, when I'm at work, I listen to the local sports radio station to keep me entertained, and they take a lot of callers. Today, a guy called in and asked what the hosts thought about the possibility of LeBron James being a member of the Illuminati. The only "knowledge" I have of the Illuminati comes from vague memories of their role in the computer game Deus Ex. Anyway, they let this guy talk for probably 5 minutes and he was very seriously concerned about LeBron and other famous athletes' supposed involvement in this supposed secret organization. This was all based on information he gathered off the internet. The hosts didn't have much to say in response, but they didn't laugh about it either. I was pretty surprised.
