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...

@SameOldHorrorStory Oh god, don’t even talk about the Elisa Lam footage. It's so uncomfortable to watch. What the hell was going on? Why was she moving her hands like that? How did she end up in the water tank?!

It's Australia that doesn't exist because it isn't in the Bible. They built Australia on the film set where they faked the moon landings.

And Shakespeare's plays were written by someone else with the same name.

Love this thread!
The moon landings, is one of my favourites!
I used to believe, now I just don't know.

9/11 sadly, how on earth did they fall down! I mean, one is an accident? Two? :/

Is there plenty of materials on the rest? I'm thinking the impending doom ( light-hearted, sorry! ) will give me some time to indulge my sick fascination. :)

Thing whole thing we're going through now is B I O L O G I C A L W A R F A R E .

Love the Keane one!!

Think 9/11 was pure terrorism sorry.

So people actually believe because of differences in playing guitar as he got older/took more drunks whatever they can forget that Paul Mccartneys kids would have to be ok with this. Like “hey guys your dads dead ALSO this guy is going to pretend to be your father, Geoff get in here, say hi Geoff, hi Geoff, ffs Geoff, anyway Stella, others you ok with this, great”

Well, seeing Paul was supposed to have “died” in the 60s and his children weren’t born until the 70s, I don’t think that would have been a problem. Not that I believe it!

I hadn’t heard about the lab in Wutan. Someone did tell me about the theory that the virus was engineered by the Chinese government to be fatal to the elderly, in order to correct population imbalance due to their 1 child-per-family policy.

NortherWarrior I’m laughing out loud here! If I remember correctly, the paul is dead theory happened in the mid-60’s, before he had kids 😂

BTW, I do not believe that one either. I do think it’s fascinating how people come up with these things though.

@themistressquickly what's the Keane one?

I love the Denver Airport, Coral Castle, Illuminati stuff!

The comedy podcast Lizard People is great if you want to hear some new and traditional conspiracy theories. They suggest and debate that Lorde is secretly 40, Prince Charles is a vampire, birds don't exist, the NY marathon doesn't exist, the world ended in 2000, loads more. I think there's about 200 episodes.

@36degrees sounds good!

@BubbleTravel I agree with them! It's on Ellis Island! I am pretty sure it was said in movies!

The one where people believed that the Beatles were clones was brilliant. There was a fascinating website where they compared photos in mind boggling detail. Unfortunately the main website about it seems to be gone now but plenty of articles that include screenshots
dangerousminds.net/comments/the_beatles_never_existed

Another one to go with the 'sims style world' there's NP, or non players so basically background characters, in this life, so no brain or soul, they are just background people allegedly

I can believe that one!!!

That was aimed at Forgivenandsetfree’s post, btw...

Truth can be stranger.

Saddam and Gaddafi had doubles who made public appearances, so maybe the real ones......?

And there's all those old Churchill speeches they play. Hardly any of them were actually recorded at the time. WC himself repeated some of them in recording studios, and in some cases they were read out on the BBC by an actor.

Another one who finds the 9/11 ones fascinating . Not saying I believe them at all but all the points they make are so interesting.
I hate the ones around Sandy hook, it’s just sick .

@PolPotNoodle Does your uncle want to attend a yearly convention the flat earthers do, where people come (quote from their website) from "all around the world"?

THIS was a fascinating read I must say!
Dyatlov Pass, for those liking unsolved mysteries!

Another one being said tonight is that Prince Phillip has passed away...

Again?

I don’t believe Pope John Paul I died of natural causes.
