Conspiracy Theories.

[Midsommar]

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...

My mum believes that coronavirus was released intentionally to encourage people to get a vaccine which will contain a microchip (mark of the beast) that controls everyone and will inevitably cause Jesus to return.

akmum18 thanks, never heard that one

My mum believes that coronavirus was released intentionally to encourage people to get a vaccine which will contain a microchip (mark of the beast) that controls everyone and will inevitably cause Jesus to return.

The Brethren denomination teaches that, as a literal interpretation of Revelation. It's not what mainstream Christians believe at all.

This is basically the start of V for Vendetta.

The Edwards' Millions is one of my favourites. Not a conspiracy theory as such but the story grew exponentially in the 80s. Basically a large area of New York City apparently belonged to a man named Edwards and 'decendents' (ie anyone with the name Edwards) are clamouring for a slice of NY city via corrupt lawyers for an upfront fee. Hilarious.

One of the best conspiracies I've ever heard is that those who control the world know exactly how to discredit those theories that are actually true. In line with that all big conspiracy theorist would be actually paid by Them to mix the events that many people have suspicions about because there are obvious inconsistencies (9/11) with some completely crazy ideas (lizard people). Then They give these people a lot of publicity while completely dicrediting the person, so nobody would dare quote David Icke because he is the "lizard people guy".
This would totally make sense. David Icke then must be working for those who control the world as one of their jesters, buffoons who tell the truths but nobody takes them seriously

The Mandela effect

And of course FLAT EARTH!

Oh wait did anyone see that video of Madonna on twitter singing "fried fish" and all the comments suggesting it's code and that she and other famous people are pedophiles ?

One more thing I've never got my head around time travel, there are images and videos of celebrities. However could it actually be the clones! With that also comes MK ultra! Mystery solved

My brother inlaw is a demolition expert

What does he think about the way the towers collapsed, and the explosives you can see going off on each floor?

That conversation with my brother in law went on far to long! There are no explosions on each floor, that is the air being compressed by the collapse of the floor above. He got very technical with calculations of Moments of Inertia etc but my eyes were blazing over by this time. Translated into idiotese for my benefit, if the floor above collapsed by anything more than 1 meter the floor below would not be able to withstand the impact and would also collapse. Clearly they collapsed by more than a meter, given the height of each floor. You then have a chain reaction leading to a collapse at near free fall speed.

Brother in law again emphasised the days or weeks of work needed to prep the building for demolition, not something that would have gone unnoticed. Also the sequence of the demolition was wrong apparently, they should have started from the bottom.

Loads

MH370
9/11
Princess Diana's death
Prince Harry's paternity
Marilyn Monroe's death
Moon landing

Are a few that come to mind

Where are the good MH370 theories online??
This fascinated me, there's never been another plane crash where nothing has been found

I like to think they're in some alternative universe like LOST

Placemarking

Ive always wondered if Nicole Kidman’s pregnancy was real or if she used a surrogate as she did for the second child. She’s never really spoken about the experience of being pregnant or giving birth which is strange. She waited so long to get pregnant and then it just seemed to be over. I saw a picture of her out very shortly afterwards carrying a takeaway coffee, like it had never happened. Not really a conspiracy theory but even so..

Harry looks more & more like Charles the older he gets. Imo.

That Coronavirus is a cover up for Chinese concentration camps for Muslims and the harvesting of their oragans 👀

I thought no way until I watched “event 201”

Qanon
Operation Mockingbird
Pedowood/pizzagate
Covid19 is a bioweapon and we are all on lockdown to prevent any deliberate "false flags" causing mass casualties. The 🤫🤭

Oh that "event 201" reminded me that spookily every false flag seems to be preceded by an "training exercise" or "drill". Blame my ex the connoisseur of "everything is disinformation Belle" 😉

What's 5g?!

Explosives in twin towers. Defo no plane!

I feel really sorry for Harry and the paternity bollocks. Red hair runs in the Spencer's. If you see a picture of Philip with his beard as a young man, Harry is his double!

Finland doesn't exist

This is awesome - i don't actually believe it but it makes so much sense!

I hate the ones around Sandy hook, it’s just sick

See, I don't think people saying Sandy Hook didn't happen are sick at all - I think it's human nature to want to believe that an atrocity like that didn't actually happen and must have been staged, because the alternative is just unthinkable. Obviously, harassing grieving parents is sick, though.

There used to be a great number of reasonable and compelling arguments for why it was fake online. Not just because someone had spotted one or two discrepancies, there were absolutely loads and the alternative (that it was staged) seemed very compelling and plausible (especially since it's the most palatable explanation).

There's part of me that still wonders why, if all the conspiracy theories were nonsense, they were all deleted from google and YouTube. I appreciate that they gave fuel to conspiracy theorists' harassment of the parents. But I always thought it weird because surely the norm in countries that value free speech should be that any idiot can spout any stupid theory, but then people who break the law through harassing people should be held accountable for their actions.

The people were charged with harassment of the parents, but it's odd that all the logical, meticulously-researched, non-offensive, matter-of-fact and extremely convincing videos and documents have been deleted from the internet without a single trace.
