Give me your best conspiracy theory!

I've just finished watching Behind The Curve on Netflix - a documentary about the Flat Earth movement. I remain unconvinced but still good fun to watch.

My favourite conspiracy theory though is the Titanic/Olympic one which I'm inclined to believe 🙈 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMSTitanicalternative_theories

Any good ones out there?

The Paul/Faul McCartney one is a cracker! Apparently the real Paul died in a car crash at the height of the Beatles' fame, and Fake Paul (Faul) stepped in to take his place.

Love conspiracy theories - the link you put up doesn't seem to work though... maybe the page has been taken down by those in charge because it was too close to the truth?!?

Was told years ago by some one who knows camilla pb that Prince Andrew is gay and is hiv positive and split with fergie because she caught him with a man?

Apparently we will be told he has cancer when he succums to the illness

@kyles101 omg they're on to me!! 😄
Google Titanic alternative theories - basically the theory suggests the Titanic was actually the Olympic and was sunk to claim insurance. It's quite a compelling argument.

@Bezalelle I think I've heard the Paul McCartney one actually! I'll go have a quick google again now.

PanAm 103 was known to be a potential target 24 hours before it flew.

I love a conspiracy. Inner earth is a good one. I also like all the ancient aliens stuff.

1.) Dr David Kelly was killed by MI5

2.) Yuri Gagarin was not the first human in space he was the first to survive the flight

mummyofdaughters · 18/03/2019 09:11

Oh @Backwoodsgirl the Yuri Gagarin one sounds right up my street! Love that kind of stuff.

Yes I’ve heard the Paul/ faul one
Not that he died in a car crash..just he wanted out

The movie Frozen was made to suppress search results about the theory that Walt Disney's body (or just his head) was cryogenically frozen and stored under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland.

Used to love a conspiracy theory, less so now they have so many believers. The most bonkers I've come across are the Cumberbatch and, not dissimilar, MM ones. Barking. Someone on mumsnet explained them to me. Its many a year since I first heard the Prince Andrew thing, surprised it's still going.

HalfBloodPrincess · 18/03/2019 10:03

That the ‘harry potter’ series is actually a true story - it was about to be uncovered so they got a muggle (JK Rowling) to write the books to cover it up. She’s been under the imperius curse since 1995!

nombrecambio · 18/03/2019 10:36

Pharmaceutical companies withholding "cures".

Whynham · 18/03/2019 13:52

Well if no-one else has said it already - chemtrails. Ridiculous, but always makes me laugh.

AliceAforethought · 18/03/2019 14:06

Oh, oh! What's the Cumberbatch conspiracy?

April241 · 18/03/2019 14:10

halfblood oh i'd so love if Harry Potter was real, although also gutted because I'm obviously just a muggle!

marvellousnightforamooncup · 18/03/2019 15:58

The only one I give credence to is the Dr Kelly one.

MissionItsPossible · 18/03/2019 16:45

Avril Lavigne dying and being replaced with a lookalike called Melissa!

Babyfoal · 18/03/2019 17:12

Marvellousnight - yes I agree with you.

I think conspiracy theories can be incredibly damaging, although some are amusing.

longwayoff · 18/03/2019 17:15

Alice, Google for it, its very unkind, completely deranged and so nuts that my family will send for mental health practitioners if I attempt to describe it.

ButtMuncher · 18/03/2019 17:17

I agree with the Dr David Kelly one.

Apart from that, I really don't think much of any other ones, although I think there is something about the JFK Assassination that just doesn't ring true.

longwayoff · 18/03/2019 17:17

Yes to Dr Kelly though, poor man. Show me as much proof of suicide as possible, I still won't believe it.

AirBiscuit · 18/03/2019 17:18

The only one I give credence to is the Dr Kelly one.

Why? What evidence do you have that didn't come up in the public enquiry?

Absolutepowercorrupts · 18/03/2019 17:21

The David Kelly one, as pp have said I'll never believe that he committed suicide but I'm not sure if it was the British Secret Service or another one was responsible for his death.
