AIBU to ask fellow Mumsnetters your favourite conspiracy theories?

Where it be about lizard people, 911 or the Government man-making Coronvirus to kill off the vulnerable, what conspiracy theory sends a chill up your spine?

Sorry if a little dark but I have to admit I love a good conspiracy theory and figured I wouldn't be the only one! Plus I need some bedtime reading...

Well a certain country recently removed all internet ( I assume to stop eavesdropping) but not before vowing revenge on the west.

How does a relatively poor impoverished country take down the west which includes probably the worlds biggest superpower.

Hmm (drums fingers on lips)

If you like podcasts there are loads of interesting ones on the Parcast Conspiracy Theories one - listen through Google podcasts but I imagine it's available in most places.

I've lost hours listening to them!

Avril Lavigne dying and being replaced by a secret twin Confused😂

My DH thinks the coronavirus has been over baked by the government to see how we deal with a crisis. (not very well it seems.... Loo roll anyone? Hmm)

SameOldHorrorStory · 18/03/2020 21:16

Oh, and the new Avril’s name was supposedly ‘Melissa’, by the way Grin

Ooh... ‘The Men In Black” google the back story of a paediatrician interested in UFOs then look at the cctv footage around thirty years later in a hotel .
Freaked me out.

I hate conspiracy theories, but my dh loves them and tells me all about them Hmm One he is convinced is real is the twin towers collapsed due to explosives already being there and not the planes. The owner, who I can't remember now, but he took out an insurance policy the day before, which included planes hitting them.

SameOldHorrorStory · 18/03/2020 21:21

Oh and also, not a conspiracy as such but WHAT ON EARTH WAS GOING ON in the Elisa Lam footage???

I hate people like your husband (not a personal thing, obviously) but they are the type to talk of crisis actors, and accusing witnesses of making lies up and pretending they were part of a tragedy when they weren’t. It’s fucking disgusting, and completely heartless for the parents and families and friends that person was known to.

TheMistressQuickly · 18/03/2020 21:27

Just tried to google that and couldn’t find anything.

My theory is the Bin Laden isn’t dead. Is possibly working for the CIA!

Death photos of Bin Laden weren’t released either. Photos of Saddam and Gaddafi were.

yatapina · 18/03/2020 21:37

@TheMistressQuickly I'm sure there were photos of Bin Laden published VERY early hours after he was reported dead, I swear I saw them on Sky news but no one else seems to remember this!

eyeswideshit · 18/03/2020 21:37

Finland doesn't exist is one of my favourites if you want a laugh

The conspiracies around Denver Airport I found really interesting.

BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser · 18/03/2020 21:41

@rosegoldivy truths are not conspiracies👀

BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser · 18/03/2020 21:41

@yatapina google Mandela effect!

TheMistressQuickly · 18/03/2020 21:41

@yatapina I remember reading they wouldn’t release them just incase it made him a martyr? I have seen photos which were alleged to be fakes. Who knows Confused

TheMistressQuickly · 18/03/2020 21:46

@BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser I just googled that...fascinating!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/03/2020 21:47

Oh rosegold yah know you've broken the Unspoken Rule here Wink

BodiesMakeForGoodFertiliser · 18/03/2020 21:47

@TheMistressQuickly it is. Some of the examples are mindboggling

Midsommar · 18/03/2020 21:49

Anyone else find Lizard People hilarious?

Also the Men in Black stuff creeps me out big time 😳
