History's greatest conspiracy theories

[Raptor1]

Of course, it's all a part of the International Communist Conspiracy, everybody knows that

[subchaser12]

No of course not. I unblinkingly and unquestionably believe every single word the government tells me.

So what there just happened to be a military exercise going on the morning of 9/11 and Britian's 7-7. Just a coincidence. The government said it was the brown people, so it's the brown people.

Nothng to see here....

Seriously though, some of those are pure BS, some are not.

Chemtrails is bullcrap.
9/11 and 7/7 were government false flag jobs.
Kennedy was killed by the military industrial complex (vague answer, but lone gunman my ass.)
Flouridation is bad, I reverse osmosis my own water and don't get flouridated. I feel 20 years younger and I can actually think clearly. Try it.
Pearl Harbor was a forcing of Japans hand.
Moscow Apartment buildings, yes another false flag government job.
North American Union was on the drawing board, but internet exposure shut it down, for now.
MK-ULTRA is real, well documented too.
Diana was killed by her own people. The British Royal family was not interested in marrying the Arabs. Thats obvious.
UFOs are real, all those videos and sightings are not all drunks and weatherballoons. I mean when is the last time you got drunk and saw aliens? I've been drunk my fair share, I would have loved to see aliens. Didn't happen.

I don't care about the other silly celebrity stuff, Elvis, Beatles etc.

The excerpt about 9/11 is priceless.

Thanks to the power of the web and live broadcasts on television, the conspiracy theories surrounding the events of 9/11 - when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington - have surpassed those of Roswell and JFK in traction.

I love how they say "damn that live TV and internet", it used to be so damn easy to lie about events that were not recorded live in front of the world. The Lusitania, Tonkin Gulf, Maine etc. haha

[Biggles]

Well there's alot of nutters out there.

I've met a number of people claiming that 9/11 hasn't even taken place! Now, I live in Sweden, and, ofcourse, you could shut your eyes as much as you want when you aren't 100% sure that NYC exists. But I've been in NY 4 times, first time August 2001, and last time January this year. And I can assure you all that I am pretty sure that there is at least two buildings less on Manhattan since my first visit.

Then "Paul is Dead"....that's an old one, and as a Beatles fan, I have to say, it's complete pants. They claim they found a "look-a-like" and a "Sound-a-like". If they really did, then what's the problem? Why hide Paul's death? If they found a replacement, then the band could carry on.

[Raptor1]

No, don't you see, they completely rebuilt NYC in the night someplace else, secretly moved all the people there, changed every map on the planet then destroyed the fake WTC in the new location

It's all true!

@Biggles - Yes, this knowledge comes from reliable sources in the US government, which would like to remain anonymous

Let's see, there's quite a bunch around here who believe in #29, same for #20, #11 as well, and of course #1.
I didn't even know about most of these but my favourite would be #14 "Paul is dead", funky :D

It's sad that conspiracies aren't a crime anymore.:cry:

[Spoon 11th]

So what's the true story behind those half a million plastic coffins and rumored c. camps?

[Schöneboom]

#19 is the one with the most staying power and massive potential for harm. Early 20th C. history shows that even members of the European & American ruling classes believed in the grand conspiracy theory of their time: the Freemasons, the Jews, and the Communists. When the government itself believes in conspiracy theory, look out!!! :o

[Sailor Steve]

Fun stuff. I was around for 'Paul Is Dead' the first time.

All a great joke. Still, the true believers will tell you that they 'know' some of them are real.

[Biggles]

Hang on...they didn't mention denial of the Holocaust? Not that I'd ever deny it's existence, but quite a few people do, apparently.

[subchaser12]

It's sad that conspiracies aren't a crime anymore.:cry:

I hope you are joking. You yearn for the glory days where anyone questioning government official stories were sent away in the night to the gulag where they would "commit suicide"?

If you are serious, well Stalin would completely agree with you.

This is why I love America. I can say Putin is a sociopath who should be shot, Bush needs to be confined to his farm and the Queen gets it on with horses. Oh yeah and Allah is the creation of a pedophile nomad. I can go to sleep tonight knowing no one will break my door down for saying these things on the internets. :p

Good point! I didn't even notice that.

[subchaser12]

Just for the record, "allah" isn't really the name of a supposed entity, it's the mere translation of the word "god", ie arab christians actually worship "allah". Not that it matters much but it keeps irritating me to see it mentionned as if it were something different pretty much all the time, so there :)

So just to stay on topic, it might well be a conspiracy by the whole western world to keep writing "allah" among otherwise fully translated texts, only to make it sound strange to us. I mean it's like if they translated an article in arabic and kept the word "shoebox" untranslated, why ? :p

Good information. I'm not religious, I'm too smart for that. It is funny seeing people aregue over who the invisible wizard in the sky favors.

I'm going to go put on a fire suit now after that comment, I'll need it. :huh:

Oh sure, people should have every right to deny the existence of the Holocaust and form organizations about it just as they should be able to declare 9/11 a hoax that never happened and create websites about it.

You know that when you say stuff like "Bush should be shot!" on the telephone or Internet, it's tracked right? Nixon's wiretapping program during the '70s did essentially the same thing, the only difference being that you can do it with no problem when it comes to the Internet or a cell phone. It's a capital offense to say you'll shoot the president...

Oh, and Mikhayl is right. "Allah" is just the Arabic translation for "God". For instance, "Allahu Akbar!" means "God is Great". "Alaykum as-Salaam" is a general farewell statement that pretty much all Middle-Easterners use ("Peace be upon you."). It's like the word "Christ", which is Latin for "Savior/Messiah".

[Stealth Hunter]

That's a pretty controversial thing to talk about, even on the news. That may be why they didn't include it in their article.

[Iceman]

Wow...great topic....gj:up:


Aliens is the answer to it all...:) blame the aliens!

#22. The Philadelphia Experiment.

All SH3&4 players now it's true. But... it involved submarines and their crews. The evidence is here:

I like #27 "(...) But conspiracy theorists believe the project is a weapon to bring down aircraft and missiles by lifting sections of the atmosphere, cause earthquakes or even a huge weather modification machine."

S.O.S. Météores any one?;)

Fun read, thanks for posting! :rock:

[SandyCaesar]

Read was extremely fun. Implications, though old news, were chilling.

All it goes to prove: there is nothing people will not believe.:down: I think I may have stumbled upon the First Law of Conspiracy: The number of believers in a particular conspiracy theory is directly proportional to the length of the scientific explanation. If they don't want to hear how something happened, they'll go ahead and formulate their own explanations, and before you know it...:nope:

Okay, I'll shut up, or else the Men in Black are going to come for me soon.:yep:

[Raptor1]

The participators in this thread know too much

The Black Helicopters are on their way...

[SandyCaesar]

Actually...I suspect that some of those conspiracy theories were started by government officials hoping to have a laugh. Hey, at least that means the government is doing something effectively.

[Raptor1]

Wait, wait...is that a conspiracy on how conspiracy theories come into existence? :hmm:

[MothBalls]

No. The real conspiracy is that all of these conspiracies are actually true and to cover up the truth 'they' create conspiracy theories so people think it's a conspiracy instead of the truth, theoretically anyway.

[Biggles]

Well I'm safe from the black helo's. I'm over here, on the other side of the pond:p
