Craziest conspiracy theory

[sashh]

I've just come across Rick Wiles.

According to him the covid jab injected an egg in to your bloodstream. These have now hatched into a synthetic parasites and this is a plan to take over the world.

I love a good conspiracy theory. What is the craziest one you have come across?

@itsgettingweird not my theory. The guy was a total nut job.

Another one I heard was that when we were all banging pots etc for the NHS on a Thursday, the government was testing 5G which made a strange hum. By having us all banging plants and pots, it covered up the sound of the hum during testing.

I actually love that one even if it is bonkers.

I agree with you; but to me, the 'everything is a conspiracy' lot are just the non-critical thinkers going from the opposite perspective of the non-critically-thinking 'there's no such such thing as a conspiracy' lot.

I think there's a large middle-ground of people who neither swallow every fanciful CT as presumed fact but also like to look into some of the potentially more plausible ones, before making up their own minds - if indeed, they can't find actual unbiased evidence to either prove or disprove it.

Many of these people would keep quiet and not tell you of their suspicions, because it's such a trope that anybody who doesn't unquestioningly believe everything the government and other authorities tell them is fact is a crazed CT loon.

It's a very loaded term, when in itself, it's a neutral term - of having certain doubts and wanting to look into them in more detail. There was a time when people would just as freely condescendingly sneer, whenever somebody said something slightly controversial, "Oh, is that something that you read on the internet?!" Whereas now, virtually ALL information is on the internet, whether from the most trustworthy sources, the absurd crazy ones or anybody in between.

Maybe we should just accept that Prince Andrew must surely be categorically innocent of all the crimes that he's been accused of, as he seems not to be being pursued by the law anymore. Maybe we need to acknowledge that all of those very wealthy and high-profile people in Jeffrey Epstein's address book - who visited him in his private quarters multiple times - were just wholly innocent friends and pure as the driven snow. Maybe we need to come to terms with the provable fact that nobody in the BBC ever had the faintest idea about what Jimmy Savile was up to. If we don't accept all of these and countless more, we're just wacko conspiracy theorist nuts, aren't we?

None of this questioning of things like this leave us duty-bound to entertain for a second that Finland doesn't exist, the Moon is made of cheese, the Earth is flat, birds are charged up at night on telegraph wires or any of that - even if some do choose to seriously pursue exactly that. Beliefs in conspiracy theories are by no means binary: the entire lot or none whatsoever.

But the moon has been around long before NASA! That one is baffling.

That's a new one! So my friends and relations who I think are living there -where are they actually living? And the many, many, people I know who travelled there - where did they actually go?

What, all around the world? Did your neighbour say who was paying the doctors?

A lot of these are not conspiracy theories.

Tuskegee wasn't hidden, but it was about poor, uneducated black men who's lives were not seen as valuable.

The Gulf of Tonkin didn't happen, unless it not happening is the theory.

I love the ones about countries not existing, and there's one that New Zealand moved.

@DappledThings where do I get my gold? I was 10lb at birth. tbh I think my mother probably deserved the gold for pushing me out.

I saw something about that on Facebook, a man has his sons (I think) blood plasma injected into him to stay looking younger and the person posting used that as ‘proof’ that the kidnapped children/hollywood/adrenochrome CT was ‘totally real’.

Recently I saw something about a door somewhere which led to the inside of the earth or something like that but I can’t find it now. It was maybe in Antarctica? I saw it on TikTok and I can’t find it again.

We're all living in a simulation

There are some mad conspiracy theories out there it's true. I don't know anyone who believes things like the COVID vaccine had microchips in them. There's also a lot of very dodgy stuff and cover ups governments gets involved in. When people ask questions they are always dismissed as conspiracy theorists even when the truth is finally exposed. Blindly trusting state run news outlets makes you as mad as any conspiracy nutcase as far as I'm concerned.

This would be dependent on finding people with absolutely zero curiosity to wonder why they were doing these things. And also I could be bribed super easily into telling someone I dropped a cup off at a location.

Or would happily not drop a cup off somewhere of someone had a better offer.

The whole premise is dumb.

not quite, then all they would have is one part of the puzzle, they would still need the other parts and if the parts can be more than one use then they would have to figure out what was likely being built etc

People can sneer, but in the documentary 'A Grand Day Out' Wallace and his dog, Gromit, go to the moon and it IS made of cheese, and there is filmed evidence of them actually eating some of it with crackers.

However contrary to popular belief it is not GREEN cheese but the normal yellow stuff, and rather bland.

Hence the curiosity bit. Someone wanting to figure it out, could.

But also, if, for example, in your scenario I didn’t turn up with the cup. The plan is ruined… so even if they couldn’t figure out, they could throw a spammer in the works.
Which was my main point. Any conspiracy theory which relies on the smooth and faultless working and communication of our government is almost certainly not true.

Well to be fair, the IOW does actually seem to be in alternative plane of space-time, you sort of pass through a portal on the ferry and land on the other side in 1973, but I actually quite like that as it goes.

Mind control drugs sprayed on the sheeple from 7 miles up, all perfectly co-ordinated by a legion of pilots and plane engineers

Pilots, engineer and the people who load the shiz, all from different airlines and different countries - there must be thousands of them. And not one of them bravely breaks ranks to expose the whole thing.

As people have said a lot of what people call real "conspiracies" are nothing of the sort.

They are cock ups or deliberatly implemented horrible policies which are then concealed by people more interested in protecting their own hides - see the Post Office and tainted blood scandals. Not a conspiracies but cock ups made worse by institutional arse covering and public sector organisational cultures at the time.

Often in this messes ordinary, blameless people are treated really badly and suffer. Perhaps it is more comforting to believe it is a deliberately planned conpiracy rather than the more awful truth - these people's lives and suffering are seen as second order to the job and reputatational protection that goes in to overdrive in the wake of a cock up.

Didn't Jimmy Carr once say something along the lines of "And if you've always wondered what the Isle of Wight was like in the 1970s... go to the Isle of Wight" ?!

Loads of people do jobs where they might not especially understand why they're doing what they do, but they know that they get paid for it and they get money to cover their bills and buy food, so that's all they really have the luxury to care about.

I sometimes think that some of the peculiarly western pursuits that are serviced by folk in poor countries online or over the phone must seem absolutely baffling to them - whether it's the language barrier, the culture barrier, youthful desperation or whatever.

A bit like when (to them) extremely plus-size trousers are manufactured for people in wealthier countries (also where the average body size tends to be significantly larger, aside from any other factors) and the only way they can think of demonstrating them is by getting a local model to stand fully in one of the legs and hold the other one out with outstretched arm!

But is that categorical proof that it therefore doesn't exist, or might they have knowledge/suspicions but be too frightened to speak out?

Enough people out there are scared enough not to fully 'embrace' the 'transwomen ARE women' mindset - at least in public - because they are fearful of how it could affect their careers, safety or social standing.

Porton Down has latterly admitted in the past to spraying chemicals through the nearby countryside for 'tests' on the locals; I think the only question is as to what the chemical make-up and intended purpose of those chemicals was. Even if it was for entirely benign and/or noble purposes, the determined secrecy was a bit odd, wasn't it?

Brilliant 🙌

see the Post Office and tainted blood scandals. Not a conspiracies but cock ups made worse by institutional arse covering and public sector organisational cultures at the time.

So people holding regular meetings, phone calls, emails, press calls, other communications and pulling ranks in order to repeatedly cover their arses and insist that other people are the criminals and their institution is the righteous, noble, blameless one...

Sounds like the dictionary definition of a conspiracy to me - especially considering that even two criminals working together in, say, a distraction robbery at a jeweller's shop will be found guilty of 'conspiring' to do the crime.

How are you meant to know when something is a 'conspiracy' and when it's 'just people making nefarious plans together for personal gain and/or other people's losses'? Is it the same crucial difference as between a spud and a potato?

@SirAlfredSpatchcock in my mind the dofference is this - a conspiracy would have been if the NHS had deliberately set out to secretly infect people with HIV/Hep C through infected blood and plasma infusions for nefarious reasons (for I don't know - real life field tests of the impact of the viruses on different groups or something?).

Whereas what happened was a cock up (buying blood plasma from the US where the policy of paying donors meant people more at risk of being infected often donated). Followed by the sort of common arse covering that happens in big institutions driven by the desire protect their own jobs and and also the culture that a big, ofren beloved, public organisations like the NHS cannot be seen to be wrong.

As I said earlier these large organisations can be pretty inhumane as corporate entities and protecting the organisation becomes first order priority compared to doing right by the ordinary people impacted.

Exactly. This was a conspiracy theory at one time. Now it's taken for granted that gain of function was too dangerous and banned in the US who then paid China to do it. That turned out well.

They’re all in on it !! …… or something about sheeple
