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

Not rtft but Finland doesn't exist? Where have I been going when I've visited Finland? Can someone tell me why my mother has a passport for a non existent country?

Wtc 7 and the plane that hit the Pentagon during 9/11 have always come off to me as there's more than meets the eye, but I don't know if I believe any of the possible explanations either.

Meandmy4 · 18/02/2018 23:38

I don’t understand why Johnny Gosch’s mother didn’t stop her son leaving when he supposedly visited her that morning. My god, if that had been my boy, I would have battered the man with him and called the police, not sat down and chatted to them. I must watch the documentary about that story.

Better not book a world cruise then @badpolicy !

'Oooh - i don't believe that plane crashed into the pentagon. '

My American BIL , who was working there at the time certainly noticed a great big plane where there shouldn't have been one - we were visiting DC, on our last day, and my lovely SIL was frantic with worry because she couldn't contact him for ages . We were stuck there as all the planes were grounded and the airports shut and then had to wait for seats to become available . So, on balance, I think it did.

Justanotherlurker - we've got all kinds of nonsense on this thread, but you pick my theory about MPs being dishonest during the referendum as the most bizarre. Really? Politicians never lie. Really? Are you living in an parallel universe to the rest of us?

Meandmy4 · 18/02/2018 23:53

One of the biggest conspiracies happening right now is.... how the fuck trump is the president of the USA.😂😂😂

If Alexa is listening to me and is secretly collecting data for the government I hope she's enjoying hearing me talking to my cats and telling them they're beautiful Blush

NameChanger22 · 19/02/2018 00:00

We don't need Alexa to spy on us. All you need is a computer or a smart device. Have you not watched the film Snowden? Big brother has been here a while.

What are your cats telling Alexa when you're out doing the shopping?

The Philadelphia experiment I think happened. Also DR David Kelly was killed by MI5

confusednotcom2 · 19/02/2018 00:15

For some dodgy shit much closer to home, look at a lot of what happened in NI over the years. Collusion was rife and led to ongoing slaughter. The media on the mainland was nothing short of propaganda. History, as taught in the UK, has been whitewashed. The complete lack of knowledge about the situation by professional politicians, never mind Joe Public is a result.

Yes as someone raised here but with family in Ireland this always suprised me. I think that’s also why I do believe in some conspiracies.

beluga425 · 19/02/2018 00:28

The Philadelphia Experiment is fascinating though there is just as much on the web debunking it as information on it.

I'm a Scot of Irish descent, agree don't need to go far to see media manipulation and propaganda. Caused a few arguments when I was younger when I got fed up hearing how it was ONLY the IRA causing trouble in NI, because the news in mainland uk hardly ever reported attacks perpetrated by Protestant terrorists.

Because it never happened. Noreen Gosch has made some incredibly outlandish claims with no substance to them, and I think it's clear that her grief has consumed her and that she's not of sound mind.

Leilaniiii · 19/02/2018 00:44

I 100% believe Michael Stone did not kill Lin and Megan Russell.

Why? Do you have someone in mind who you think did it?

crunchymint · 19/02/2018 00:44

I agree it never happened. Maybe she dreamed it and thought it was real? I think she thinks it really did happen.

GrimDamnFanjo · 19/02/2018 00:48

I'm not one for conspiracies but I always want to know what's in the government closed files and why are they closed for so long?

Casz · 19/02/2018 00:51

Diana was killed by being in a speeding car without wearing a seatbelt. But she's not buried on an island at Althorp. Meanwhile, in other news, Camilla was living with Charles at Highgrove, at least part-time, long before Charles and Diana were divorced.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned that Michael and LaToyah Jackson were the same person.

beluga425 · 19/02/2018 00:53

I'd never heard about Johnny Gosch. How tragic. It must have destroyed his mothet, and who knows, there are some crazy people out there so maybe someone did turn up on her doorstep at 2am.

The one conspiracy theory I do believe is the one we aren't supposed to mention (but it has been mentioned several times on this thread so not sure it will survive.)

Buck3t · 19/02/2018 01:09

Which one’s that Tolpuddle

beluga425 · 19/02/2018 01:09

You mean the one We're not supposed to mention from ages ago?
Or is there something more recent?

OP posts:
SuperBeagle · 19/02/2018 01:11

Is the one we're not supposed to mention one involving a particular child disappearing from a particular country around 11 years ago?

beluga425 · 19/02/2018 01:12

Tollpuddle did you know that there's a Tollpuddle Martyrs Conspiracy?
