Which theories, dismissed by many as conspiracy theories, do you regard as the truth?

Another thing I find strange is Malaysian flight mh370. I have heard that it’s a stunt by USA government. It’s not all that far fetched. I just find it difficult to believe a plane just vanishes into thin air. No wreckage ever found

Except they have found some (quite a bit actually) -

Jeez the ignorance in this thread.

The 9/11 theories are very interesting, especially the plane that went into the Pentagon, there was no place left? Also the other plane that was brought down by the passengers? Again the crash site footage shows no plane left, not even a wing or tail?? and of course the mystery of building 7 coming down.

I think Diana was probably bumped off, I'm sure there is footage of her actually saying she thought she would be bumped off.

I definitely think the Mcanns are hiding something as harsh as it might seem.

What I don't understand is the Sandy Hook and Boston Bomber conspiracies, why would it be faked?
I watched a whole thing once about how actors were adding fake injuries to other actors, in the very short time when there was smoke and confusion at the boston marathon bombing. I mean surely that cant be pulled off and what would be the purpose??

For those talking about Area 51 I managed to visit there a few times; it was a day trip out in our hire car from Vegas, along the Extra Terrestrial Highway (seriously). it is absolutely in the middle of no where. You have to google at what mile marker points you take an unmarked dirt track off. As you drive down the track, you can spot what they call "cammo dudes" parked up on the hills nearby, watching you with binoculars, and see the sun glinting off them. You eventually gate to a gate and some fencing where there are many signs telling you that unauthorised entry can result in death, do not step over the line etc. There is a booth nearby where there may or may not be someone in there. Apparently there are tracks on the dirt tracks to signal people are travelling on it. When we went there first in 2003 we got out of the car to look (even though you cannot see any evidence of the base, just the gate, fences and signs). All of a sudden, out of no where, a Black hawk helicopter rose from just over the hill, headed straight towards us and "buzzed" us by circling literally just over our heads. It was seriously freaky and scary; it would be all to easy to be "disappeared" from there without anyone being any the wiser. We captured it all on video. I've always been intrigued by it (blame the X Files!) and also visited the Little Ale'inn in nearby trailer town Rachel, which is dedicated to UFO sightings in the area! We stayed a night in a trailer there, and it was seriously spooky, no idea why! Would love to know what is really going on there, if anything!

Here's the counter to the utter utter bollocks about the Pentagon

How the feck did they plan that one then? I mean seriously?

BusterGonad · 18/02/2018 22:54

Didn't anyone watch the programs on Princess Diana? It was a great program! Google man in white Fiat uno! Very intriguing!
Oh and no one has mentioned Micheal Jackson faking his own death! Google MJ and James Brown coffin photo! It's amazing!

londonrach · 18/02/2018 22:54

Diana (we dont know the full story)
jfk (we dont know the full story)
Moon landings (dh is a huge moon fan so dont tell him mntters i dont believe)
Dare i say it maddie (we dont know the full story)

Im sure theres others! Mn has taught me not to take things are face value

BlondeB83 · 18/02/2018 22:55

JFK - Lee Harvey Oswald was a patsy.

Alisvolatpropiis · 18/02/2018 22:58

The only one I find vaguely intriguing is JFK. I’ve stood and looked out of the window Oswald shot him out of and it seems...unlikely. Appreciate I’m not a fully trained marine but the angle seems wrong.

LouiseBrooks · 18/02/2018 22:59

The florists killed Diana (my own made up theory). Think about the sea of flowers outside the palaces and then fit her funeral. The florists must have racked it in

And let's not forget Paul Burrell opened a florist shop afterwards. That pretty much proves your case.

Well, it's just as likely as half the daft conspiracy theories on this thread Grin

puddleduckmummy · 18/02/2018 23:01

Personally I think Phil is Harry's dad, much more of the rouge about him!

Just search on Google maps for ‘Groom lake’. That’s Area 51. You can see runways 03L/21R and 09L/27R marked out in a X pattern on the lake bed.

CoolCarrie · 18/02/2018 23:05

Harry looks like his uncle Charles Spencer, not like that arse Hewitt.

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 18/02/2018 23:07

I watched a pretty convincing documentary about the titanic. That it was actually a damaged sister ship that sank... high ranking white star line officials all cancelled passage, and the ship over the horizon that eventually came to the rescue only had a cargo of blankets, food and medical supplies.

SuperBeagle · 18/02/2018 23:07

I think that there was prior knowledge of 9/11. I don't, however, think that it was an inside job. I'm inclined to think the same of Pearl Harbour.

ExFury · 18/02/2018 23:08

I think the only conspiracy around 9/11 that made me wonder is that the flight that was said to be brought down by passengers may have been shot down. Could understand why that was kept quiet, but how would it have been unseen?

NotACleverName · 18/02/2018 23:11

I find 9/11 conspiracy theories oddly fascinating. God knows how many hours I've lost after falling down Youtube holes watching videos about them. WTC 7 has always seemed a bit suss to me, but I'm not sure exactly what I believe.

BonnieF · 18/02/2018 23:12

Cool!

I bet those security guys just love nosey tourists!

MozzchopsThirty · 18/02/2018 23:18

Place marking - I really need to sleep

BeyondTerfyCassandra · 18/02/2018 23:18

I think Jill dando bbc abuse scandal is certainly the most plausible.

Obviously anyone can claim anything on the internet, but I'm sure we've had a poster state on a previous conspiracy thread that they were present at Diana's autopsy and she was definitely not pregnant.

BelleandBeast · 18/02/2018 23:20

The biggest conspiracy of all is that the UK is a democracy.

Big Business and the Elite run the country, no matter which Party is in power.

beluga425 · 18/02/2018 23:27

I kind of agree, but don't really see it as a conspiracy. It just seems blatantly how things are!

Diana was bumped off because of her pregnancy with Dodi.

They'd only been going out for 5 or 6 weeks. Even if she slept with him on the first date she would barely have known herself that she was pregnant, much less the secret service.

Not to mention Rosa Monckton has said Diana had her period on their holiday a couple of weeks before her death.

BadPolicy · 18/02/2018 23:32

I love to believe in Nessie.

A small part of me would also love to believe in Flat Earth - it would be an epic plot twist.

W0rriedMum · 18/02/2018 23:35

Yeah it might be fun and harmless to suggest Elvis is alive or that the moon landings didn't happen..

But Sandy Hook and 9/11 didn't happen? Get a grip. It's an insult to the dead and their families frankly.
