Bonkers Conspiracy Theories

Well, they're all bonkers, to be fair.

Which conspiracy theories do you think are the most ludicrous?
That there is a microchip in the Covid vaccine seems to me to be one of the strangest.

Chemtrails

Number one spot has to go to the flat earth believers, close second is ones on YouTube who waffle on about the firmament

Flat earth. You can easily see it for yourself that earth is not flat, if you climb the mountain, fly on the airplane etc.

I love conspiracy theories!
Top ones for me are Denver international airport - the giant blue horse (why?), the tunnels, the weird murals.

Flat earthers are truly bonkers.

Thereare quite a few theories about the moon - hollow moon, structures on the moon, the moon is an alien base - which are all good distracting ones.

Paul McCartney is dead theory is also crazy and worth a look at.

Ooh, I'd forgotten the American one which QAnon believe in so fervently - that there are tunnels under the White House, where the Democrats keep stolen babies so that they can extract adenochrome from their blood.

At one point so many things that are now normal were considered crazy conspiracy theories, but people have short memories. I remember people being thoroughly ridiculed for saying that phones tracked/listened to you.

Skala123 · 30/11/2022 19:21

My favourite is that Finland doesn't exist!

wesayno · 30/11/2022 19:23

Birds are spy drones.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 30/11/2022 19:23

Birds aren’t real - they’re actually clockwork 😀

GeorgeorRuth · 30/11/2022 19:31

Tunnels joining continents for the elite

We've removed this post as it contains dubious links.

Why have you removed my post for ‘dubious links’? It was literally a link to a video about the latest Covid nonsense and a link to a Scottish newspaper article about 9/11.

Jeez…it’s enough to make you paranoid, lol.

murasaki · 30/11/2022 22:18

Ha at Finland not existing, I'll have to look into that one! My colleague will find it most amusing.

Doublevodka · 30/11/2022 22:22

There’s a Netflix documentary called Behind the Curve about flat earthers which is worth a watch. They are completely batshit.

Yeah, but birds and Finland both definitely exist.

XenoBitch · 30/11/2022 22:30

That there was no moon landing

That's what they want you to think.

DutchessOfMuck · 30/11/2022 22:37

I love going down rabbit holes of conspiracies. Dh says he's buying me a tin hat for Christmas 😁

The Paul McCartney one and the one where aliens live in middle earth are bonkers.

catinboots123 · 30/11/2022 22:37

Faul McCartney

I apologise in advance if you spend the whole night up looking at ear lobes

Weepachu · 30/11/2022 22:45

Latest Covid “Died Suddenly” conspiracy

The founding of the Federal Reserve

Pizzagate

That United Airlines Flight 93 (9/11) didn’t crash but was shot down as it was heading for the Pentagon

Another 9/11 one: WTC7 (tower 7) completely collapsed into its footprint despite not being hit

Robert Sepehr has some totally bonkers ones on ‘ancient history/anthropology’

barskits · 30/11/2022 22:46

Real life is bonkers enough - who needs conspiracy theories?

DutchessOfMuck · 01/12/2022 00:34

That's true @barskits when I wake up in the morning my first thought is, I wonder what fresh hell will happen today.

Hawkins001 · 01/12/2022 00:38

The number one, could it be debated that it's religion ?
