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...

Great long read on Dyatlov Pass.

@Stroller15

As a published author, it's a bit upsetting to hear that you think I've sold my soul.

Nope, sorry love.

Just lots of damn hard graft, lots of rejection and a tiny bit of success.

What is the Titanic theory?

There was a really good documentary about the Titanic a few months ago - about burning coal stores weakening the bulkheads and the management trying to silence the firemen and coal handlers during the enquiry?

I strongly believe the US made it to the moon, but the photos are most definitely faked.

Nat geographic funded a lot of it on the understanding that they got first dibs on the pics. When they got back and realised the pics were shit (film is notoriously sensitive to light/dark and temp fluctuations) they shat themselves and faked the lot.

Have all you conspiracy lovers watched Zeitgeist? Think it's on Netflix.

I've just googled the Elevator Game and freaked myself out!

Loads of health related ones:

  • They could eradicate the common cold but don't because of the vast sums of money to pharma/economy etc for something that is generally not a threat to most people

  • Why don't high profile/extremely rich people get cancers or diseases like the rest of people (I personally think it's because they have the funds for immunotherapy for example and the rest have to do chemo)

  • Viruses like Covid man made to control the population

Mockerswithnoknockers · 21/03/2020 18:00

One that might well be true is the idea that Titanic was originally Britannic but halfway through building they switched names to get one finished faster.

And now what a contrast between CGTN which is full of solid reporting on the pandemic and RT who are doubling down on their conspiracies even now. Please take it off the air.

My exs mum loved a conspiracy theory. She is 100% convinced that Michelle Obama is a man.

fantasmasgoria1 · 21/03/2020 21:18

The worlds governments hide so many things. I 100% believe the worlds governments know about extraterrestrial life. They will not tell people because of mass panic but I would absolutely love to know about them. With the corona virus is there another more sinister reason for asking us to remain at home? People will often say "oh conspiracy theories are made up" but there are bound to be some that aren't like mk ultra was true.

fantasmasgoria1 · 21/03/2020 21:57

Questionable mouse, the three gorges dam is true. It apparently slowed the earth's rotation but that's all I know.

LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow · 21/03/2020 23:26

#spoileralert

the elevator game quite clearly states you have to start over if someone enters or leaves the lift. so what's the fifth floor woman all about???

Right. Have you any idea how many people would have to be in on this? How many different governments of different political or ideological persuasion would have to agree to keep it quiet? In all this time, not a single person of the 1000s of scientists, ex politicians, civil servants etc. who know about the supposed evidence has not spilt the beans?

BusterGonad · 22/03/2020 02:30

I really wish there was a link to the men in black thing. The Covid19 is really interesting and I don't know what to believe. I can't even read about the elevator game. I use one every day and don't want to scare myself.

Tinkerbell456 · 22/03/2020 06:52

I do love the queen, the pope, US President ( what, all of them? ),the head of the UN etc all secretly being lizards. Bizarre nonsense obviously, but rather cool if you think about it. Imagine the Queen: “ Yessssss Philip, we have fooled the humanssssss yet again. Our plot prosssperssss Muahahahaha ( well, the lizard version).

JFK- the grassy knowl? The 3rd bullet that did a mid air u turn? LHO getting shot?

Twa 800 was shot down in a military exercise

The CIA in Frankfurt were involved in the lockerbie bombing.

Beyoncé pregnancy was fake

Elizabeth I wrote Shakespeare’s plays

Denver airport is the ark for Armageddon

Human cloning exists

Area 42

Flight 92 was shot down, they needed a heroic story to cheer people up

WTC7 was demolished

There are MI5 agents in the Scottish Parliament who have been there since 1999 to stop independence

David Kelly didn’t kill himself

Jonbenets brother killled her

There are more paedophiles in Hollywood and amongst U.K. celebrities to be revealed once they die.

Coronavirus was agreed to get the emergency government powers through.

There was no mass default in the sub prime housing market in the USA. It was a cover to hide the huge movement of wealth from the majority to the Billionaires.

SheStoopsToConker · 22/03/2020 07:40

What about the Queen and Prince Phillip abducting kids from Canada? That one isn't even a conspiracy theory, there are warrants out for their arrest.

No. No there aren't warrants out for their arrest Hmm

Applejaxx · 22/03/2020 10:03

My mum is convinced that COVID—19 is man made and it was accidentally released. I think she’s been watching too many Hollywood movies personally.

I must admit whilst I support social distancing and isolation for those who have symptoms I do have concerns about a lockdown, fine to prevent the spread of the virus but what happens when its run it’s course but the power to shut stuff down and make people stay at home is still there?

MulticolourMophead · 22/03/2020 10:16

They could eradicate the common cold but don't because of the vast sums of money to pharma/economy etc for something that is generally not a threat to most people

But the common cold is not one, single virus. There's at least 200 viruses in the group producing the same symptoms.

Off the top of my head:

George Harrison
John McCain
Patrick Swayzee
David Bowie
Alan Rickman
Paul Newman
Donna Summer

Apparently the house of Windsor is satantic. Pedophilia is rife. Jimmy Saville being so close wasn't a coincidence neither was Epstein.
Their symbols and rituals tell you they are Gods but you are subjects. Reality is you are just as equal. Oh and more people were up in arms about Meghan and harry than Andrew shows you how easy it is to brainwash the masses into what is good/evil. Princess Diana was good but they took her out. Her boys know all right.

Also it's all coming out very soon. Now that's a great conspiracy Grin

QuestionableMouse · 22/03/2020 11:24

@fantasmasgoria1

Yeah, that bit is true but I'm not convinced it's responsible for all the shit that happening. My partner worked it out and it's a tiny tiny fraction of a second, not enough to make any difference apparently.

Brahumbug · 22/03/2020 11:27

My brother inlaw is a demolition expert
I asked some time ago about 9/11. He said that anyone who thinks they were brought down by controlled explosion clearly has no idea of the work involved in prepping a building for demolition. Conspicuous explosives, supports pre removed or weakened etc. The occupants of the towers would definitely have noticed!

GnomicGnu · 22/03/2020 12:24

@QuestionableMouse

I read that the mass of the water behind the Three Gorges Dam affects the earth’s rotation by adding 0.06 microseconds to day length and shifts the poles by 20mm.
