Are there any conspiracy theories that you just think could have an element of truth?

I love all things conspiracy theory - from a psychological/social point of view it's interesting to see what makes people fearful or pessimistic.

But I often do see some conspiracy theories a bit like Urban legends in that they could be an exaggerated truth.

Are there any conspiracy theories or rumours that you just think 'maybe...' or even ones you're completely sold on.

911 organised as a justification to further make $s from the Middle East.
David Kelly bumped off
Lots smaller territory incidents which were immaculately timed to distract the public/save political parties - think Manchester was allowed to happen.
Princess Diana - always thought she’s alive & well somewhere.
Also think high likelihood moon landings footage was shot in a studio

Terrorist not territory

I don't believe JFK was killed by a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald may or may not have been involved, but I don't think he acted alone.

I find the fact you cant get direct southern hemisphere flights very very intriguing!

You can fly directly between different countries in the Southern Hemisphere (e.g. Australia - New Zealand) and even between different continents! (e.g. Chile - Australia, Australia - South Africa). What are you on about?

If she was bumped off because of a paedo ring, they aren't exactly going to announce it, even to people who were involved in her life in some way.

Does Australia Exist?

There are people who say they've been there, but how do they know?

Maybe they were all secretly taken to a secret island secretly to hide the fact that there is no Australia, and never was.

Trust me, it exists, we are not long back.

Love conspiracy theories, like Paul McCartney (the original one died) & was replaced by a lookalike, don’t think Marilyn Monroe committed suicide, Jill Dando was defo a hitman.

ThistleTits · 20/05/2019 18:15

Can only agree with you on Grenfell. I was so shocked by the low numbers released after the fire.

SirVixofVixHall · 20/05/2019 18:15

I hope that at some point the truth about dr Kelly does come out.
Also that poor man in the holdall.

RomanyQueen, I didn't know that about the dogs Shock

Yb23487643 · 20/05/2019 18:17

I guess things just not adding up human behaviour wise firstly, and overall 6th sense of things not being as they seem - lots of subconscious mini clues that you can’t say you’ve seen but have. Like the 45 min WMD by Blair - was obviously never true - couldn’t tell you why but it wasn’t. How do u know when someone’s lying?

Acis · 20/05/2019 18:18

The Diana theories are particularly batshit. There is simply no logical reason why an assassin, particularly one from the British establishment, would have chosen such a fallible method and in a country where they couldn't control the police and medics. If anything, it was in the interests of the establishment for her to stay alive as she was reaching that point where public opinion was turning against her and the tabloids were constantly publishing knocking stories.

Sometimes stupid accidents just happen.

DarlingNikita · 20/05/2019 18:18

Shit, my MM post has been deleted and can I say for the record I did NOT request the deletion!

Tinyteatime · 20/05/2019 18:20

JFK wasn’t killed by a lone gunman, is that even a conspiracy? I thought it was quite accepted that know one really knows the who/what/why?

David Kelly was murdered

There are lots of things about Diana’s death that are odd like the fiat that was repainted (or whatever it was) and the suicide of James Andason but I’m not sure if I fully buy into the conspiracy.

I love the theory that Finland doesn’t exist.

DarlingNikita · 20/05/2019 18:22
