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?

there was a story doing the rounds in the press some years ago about a 'senior royal' being found in bed with one of the servants.

The version I heard had David Linley (Princess Margaret's son) as the royal in question.

Princess Margaret had an illegitimate baby.

While I don't believe the Yuri Gargarin story it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be true, given the Soviet Union's predilection for covering up bad news.

In the build up to the Falklands war Thatcher tried very hard to negotiate a peaceful deal and avoid bloodshed. The military were much more gung-ho than her. There’s testimony on camera from people involved at the time in a BBC documentary about it. (And France was a much better ally than the US.)

A collapsing regime in Argentina couldn’t back down though.

And I imagine this sort of stupid shit about supposed warmongering for political gain is very offensive to the families of those who died or were horribly injured in that conflict.

Ohhhhh for crying out loud, lay off Shatner who is always reliably well informed and who writes with commendable clarity.

JFK was shot by Jackie Kennedy who was being controlled by MK Ultra.

ShatnersWig · 20/03/2019 15:46

@longwayoff Thank you. Twice I've been called aggressive on the thread now. MN is one of the sweariest forums I know and I've only ever used the c-word once in eight years and I get pulled up for using the word bollocks or for being brief.

PleaseGodGiveMeStrength666 · 20/03/2019 15:54

There's clearly a conspiracy involving a couple of posters on this thread who think Shatner is actually Satan.

I was enjoying reading this thread but a couple of people clearly lead very odd lives if they find anything that Shatner has put on here as aggressive. I agree with @longwayoff

longwayoff · 20/03/2019 15:57

Welcome Voice of ReasonWink. Never mind. I had a post deleted some time ago. 3 words, it read 'you miserable creature' a comment on something horribly unkind said by a pp. Together with lecture from MN hq.

My cousin was one of the eight men killed at Two Sisters. It is.

iklboo · 20/03/2019 16:10

It certainly is and my ex was an unsufferable dick. Probably still is.

longwayoff · 20/03/2019 16:14

Kissing, this is probably not the place for it but it's a fact that war is always for some form of political gain. Otherwise there'd be even less point to it. Owl, I hope you don't find this distressing, my apologies if so.

AuntieOxident · 20/03/2019 16:20

I've been bemused at the posters calling Shatner's comments aggressive; both times I have gone back and re-read the posts in question and could not see any aggression in them at all.
They are, as s/he said, admirably succinct and to the point.
I think a few grips need to be got.

Amfeelingfline · 20/03/2019 16:21

m.youtube.com/watch?v=eXlL0s6f7Go Well she debunks the dinosaurs for sure in that and her other videos 😂

ShatnersWig · 20/03/2019 17:18

@AuntieOxident I identify as a woolly mammoth. You may refer to me as "they" Grin

Me too. Although I wish to be called Mx Snufflupagus

Selfie

Give me your best conspiracy theory!
ShatnersWig · 20/03/2019 17:34

Bother, it won't let me upload my photo of me, clearly showing I am a mammoth.

Maybe that's a conspiracy too?

iklboo · 20/03/2019 17:42

I can see it @ShatnersWig. You have a look of my Auntie Nelly on my dad's side.

ShatnersWig · 20/03/2019 17:44

Phone playing up. Another conspiracy

NannyMcfanny · 20/03/2019 17:48

Project Blue Beam Hmm

AuntieOxident · 20/03/2019 17:50

shatners bows obsequiously to them and ikiboo Of course, of course, anything to oblige. One wouldn't want to be presumptive. So dangerous these days.

PickleASturgeon · 20/03/2019 17:55

Elite transgenders anyone?

ShatnersWigIsActuallyAMammoth · 20/03/2019 18:01

I'm obviously proof, along with iklboo, that not only are the conspiracy theories that dinosaurs didn't exist fake news, but that some of us didn't die out either.

@GoldenEvilHoor - Bill Bryson's 'A Walk In The Woods' explains it in a very interesting non alien way. Basically they're so massive and some so dense an entire light aircraft was missing for years.
