Are there any conspiracy theories you actually believe?

Inspired by another thread. Come on even if they're mad ones... fess up.

I cant remember the details but I remember doing a bit of online research years ago and thinking it's not 100% impossible that Tupac faked his death!

@Planesmistakenforstars

I posted on the other thread that I do tend to believe that the CIA wrote the Scorpions song "Wind of Change" as part of their propaganda campaing to accelerate the collapose of the USSR.

Reminding me of the fact that I’ve always heard the line ‘Down to Gorky Park’ as ‘Don’t you Donkey Par?’

Marilyn Monroe was murdered and JFK and Bobby were involved.
Lyndon B Johnson was in on JFK's assassination.

• 911 was definitely an inside job. The more you read about it the more obvious it becomes.
•JFK
•Tupac
•Michael Jackson
•Epstein
•Covid was planted. Either for research or to control the population of the country.


Tempted by the Diana one but I love the RF so I'm conflicted.

I love a conspiracy! Any good conspiracy podcast out there that anyone can recommend?

Michael Jackson?? What's that about?

@Worldgonecrazy

Not sure if it counts a conspiracy theory, but the truth about the Lockerbie bombing is very different from the US government narrative.

Yup, it's such bullshit that even the relatives of some of the victims openly and vociferously deride it.

I don't see it as a conspiracy as such, more one of those occasions whereby it's demonstrable fact that both the US and UK governments have conspired to ignore the law, hide and obfuscate truth, act illegally in an attempt to prevent discovery of even more serious transgressions, and pin the blame on a convenient pariah.

Gaddaffi had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, but I did chuckle at him blatantly cocking a snook at the US and UK governments after having agreed to act as their stoolie. Had them over a barrel for a while, which I'm in no doubt led to their desperation to see the back of him.

People are being told crypto is a scam and terrible for the environment because it's actually the biggest creator of generational wealth since the industrial revolution. Those who know and have the means to immerse themselves in the market want to reap the benefits themselves with minimal competition. Mainstream media is also part of the conspiracy because they know by reporting every tiny bitcoin drop (aka price correction) with scary headlines, it creates uncertainty and suspicion in those unfamiliar with it.

Women in particular are most disadvantaged by the shift towards defi and web 3.0. They are typically late adopters and generally have less interest and time to learn the technical side of crypto. The market is dominated by men, many of whom were typically on the fringes of mainstream society (geeks, techs, so-called incels etc). Keeping women out makes perfect sense since defi is creating a new heirarchy of wealth that is almost exclusively in the hands of men. Women are already disadvantaged in traditional finance due to childcare, career breaks, SAHM, marriage or not etc. Fewer women own property outright or have the same financial power as their husbands.

Once defi becomes mainstream in 5-10 years, the millionaires and billionaires have already been established. Those are the same people busy squirrelling away wealth this very moment. (Digital wealth = crypto coins, tokens, nfts, metaverse property etc.) The vast majority of people reading this thread may not have even heard of those terms nor be in any position to invest themselves. With the chaos of covid, why would anyone spend their extra money towards virtual assets that could crash to zero?

This is exactly the conspiracy happening now. While the majority of the world is distracted and beaten down by covid, there's a tiny faction orchestrating one of the greatest wealth transfers to happen in generations. Someone compared it to buying land in Manhattan in the 1900s. The amazing thing about crypto is that's technically open to anyone but still nobody chooses to go in there.

@EmpressSuiko

I don’t believe Kurt Cobain killed himself

Yep I said this on the other thread. I think it was a hit. The handwriting at the bottom of his ‘suicide’ note is completely different, the first bit is just a letter the end but looks tagged on.

Diana death was a hit - too much not right including the entire tunnel being bleached within hours of the accident / doctor on seen being told to go home and not get involved etc the white fiat etc

David Kelly did not kill himself

MM was a hit - she knew too much about people she was having multiple affairs with

@SpookyScarySkeletons

I'm tempted to believe the Tupac one.

I'm also guilty of falling down the rabbit hole that is online 9/11 conspiracy theories!

And JFK's death was a CIA hit I reckon.

Same!

I find it easy to believe Diana's death was just an accident, she thought she would be safe with the Al - Fayed's.

Unfortunately, they may have had bodyguards and money etc. what they lacked was the experience, knowledge and expertise needed to deal with security for someone like Diana.

Sadly she got rid of her own guards, she needed someone not on the Al-frayed payroll so that they could say no when needed.

Also they should have worn the seatbelts, the only person to survive was wearing his. Plenty of crash experts concluded she could have survived had she been wearing hers.

Not really. I still laugh at the conspiracy theorists organising a storm of Area 51, with the catch phrase of they can't shoot us all. (Yes they could, they are the US airforce.) My children (against my dh's better judgement) were watching the supposed storming live over the Internet and were devastated that nothing cool happened Hmm Grin
