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...

Bazalele people just think it's all a load of rubbish but it's really not. I don't believe in most conspiracies such as flat earth etc but many that were just previously theories have been declassified and are available to view and mk ultra is just one. People used to dismiss those as silly conspiracies but they were not. I'm not saying corona virus is anything other than it is but I think some theories about a variety of things are true.

Thing like the pizzagate shooter and Sandy hook false flaggers show that not all conspiracy theories are harmless nonsense. And fucks like Alex Jones make money from them.

I would love to believe in aliens/Area 51/governments around the world hiding aliens but I just can’t believe it since trump became president. I just can’t imagine any circumstances where he didn’t lose it on one of his weird rants and start saying how the Area 51 aliens were better than Russias aliens or something.

My favourite one is that tobacco is harmless and it is big pharma who put carcinogens into fags so they can profit from cancer drugs.

That made me laugh. Yes! His aliens would be beautiful and smart for sure!

I think the Sandy Hook conspiracy theories are disgusting. It's like saying Dunblane didn't happen.

Really interesting thread! Although I started reading it last night and the MIB one really gave me the heebie jeebies!

Re the Suri Cruise one though... I googled her to see if she looked like Chris Klein and this was the first pic that came up. She's the image of Tom Cruise!

Haha, love this, I don't think the FBI or CIA would have allowed him to be President anyway.

Did you know that Covid 19 was manufactured and spread worldwide by the Russians? It's how they're gonna get World Domination and Putin is going to be World Leader. And that is FACT - a friend told me so, and she knows EVERYTHING

My DD2 (8) asked us whether COVID-19 was created in a lab? I think that's probably true, that it was an experiment that went wrong. But maybe that's simply because the Chinese government are always so secretive?

I find it hard to believe it just "happened" in a food market in China after someone ate a bat.

But if the virus originates in bats and Wuhan have a food market that sells bats and people in Wuhan eat bats, is it that hard to believe a bowl of bat soup started this whole thing?

A chap in China died of hantavirus this week after eating a rat.

I’m not so sure on the lab conspiracy but it’s certainly one heck of a coincidence.

I have a theory that it was Greta who released Coronavirus...after all, pollution has started clearing up 👀

(I think my theory was disproved after Greta posted that she had caught it )

Oh but Greta may be just saying she caught it....

I knew it!!

Is Greta okay?

Wow, Suri Cruise definitely looks like Tom Cruise now. The Chris Klein theory was more plausible when she little.

Yes, she wasnt tested but she had similar symptoms, as did her dad. She's recovered fine though.

Maybe It’s not impossible for your kids to have a slight look of your ex. Not sure if you know, but anytime you have UPS your partner leaves DNA inside you. I wonder if that’s why a lot of couples look very much alike.

@Awwlookatmybabyspider - that’s my new favourite conspiracy theory!

I wonder if that’s why a lot of couples look very much alike.

Only if your own DNA mutates?

Mind you, it does bring a whole new element to “owners that look like their pets” competitions.

Bits of mh370 were found d and other planes have crashed where nothing has ever been found.

@Verily1 where????? And when?????

Awwlookatmybabyspider I was confused there for a minute I thought you were talking about the delivery company

Stone, I also thought aww look was referring to the delivery company........
Think I've been inside the house for too long!

A fairly harmless but bonkers conspiracy theory.

'The strategic steam reserve' that there exists 60 steam locomotives stored somewhere top secret kept on standby in case of nuclear attack or civil unrest knocks out diesel or electricity supplies. The most readily cited location is the Box tunnel in the West Country.

It is fairly implausible given that locomotives stored since the late 60s would have seized up and the infrastructure to coal and water them was removed after the last steam trains ran on the mainline in 1968, but I like the idea of railway enthusiasts convinced there's a stash of preserved steam locos in a tunnel somewhere.

Oooh this has kept me entertained as I can't sleep!

Omg the one about the queen abducting children... googled it and found a load more crap claiming she's a cannibal! Ludicrous but entertaining!

I still think coronavirus is too "mild" (for want of a better word!) for the complete lockdown! It just seems bizarre the whole thing!
