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.

Forgive me but I don’t understand what about that was antisemetic.

I was just quoting another website and it wasn’t said in a derogatory way in the same way if they were described as Christian.

The whole point of conspiracies is that there doesn’t need to be a huge amount of evident proving otherwise.
If there was evidence and proof it would be stated as fact and not conspiracy by definition

That’s not at all where I copied it from and I did read the whole page and nothing of the sort was said

bebeboeuf · 22/05/2019 22:24

I think that’s why it’s considered a conspiracy theory

bebeboeuf · 22/05/2019 22:26

Having relooked for other links to the krays and paedophilic rings it seems it’s quite a common point of discussion online

Going on about bro nazi Satan worshiping Jews is not something I’ve read anywhere!

I still think they know more than they are letting on about missing malaysia flight 370. I also read that people think that it’s being held by the government...isn’t that far fetched when you think about it.
Also think there’s crazy shit going on at Area 51.

I also believe that someone had Diana killed... won’t say who I might get mobbed.

Not read this thread but I don't believe we put a man on the moon. I think the moon landings were faked, to get one over the Russians.

I’m half and half over this. On the one hand the Russians would have known for sure if it was faked....but on the other hand, maybe the Russians did know it was a hoax but were part of the collusion. Why that should be I haven’t a clue. But I did see that clip where Buzz Aldrin said “we never went there”, and I heard the context he said it in and I couldn’t see how he could have meant anything else.

Leon Brittan.
I remember hearing, in the mid-80s, an early morning newsflash on a London radio station, saying that Leon Brittan had been taken into custody re: child abuse. I waited to hear more about this, but the news report was never repeated.
Years later, I read that a government 'D' notice had been used to stop reports of the arrest being broadcast or published.

There are countless websites saying the krays were Jewish. None of them antisemetic

Sixes. I remember that Leon Britten thing!

The lipstick alley website is just another forum with people spouting off what’s been said elsewhere

The Westminster paedophile ring was a figment of a very sick man's imagination.

Does no one here read the news? 'Nick' - real name Carl Beech - made it all up for kicks (and the compo, of course). Surprise, surprise, he's a convicted paedophile himself.

The rumours about Cliff are absolute horseshit. 'Nick' was probably behind them as well.

FlameIngSofa · 22/05/2019 23:57

Where Grenfell's concerned, there is a cover-up operating right under everyone's noses. If you ask anyone what was responsible for the deaths in the fire, they'll probably say cladding. But that isn't true. By far the majority of toxic fumes which killed people came from burning furniture inside the tower. Why is this being covered up? Two reasons: one is the vast amount of money that's made from treating UK furniture with flame retardant chemicals; the other is that the government proved the furniture flammability regulations don't work five years ago and is trying to hide the fact it failed to act.

Even if they were Jewish, so what? Why is it even worth mentioning?

Unless you believe what is stated in the third link you posted: "There would appear to be some sort of ‘Zionist controlled Mafia’ containing politicians who are Friends of Dorothy."
