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...

@dayswithaY it's Chris Klein & I think she does look a bit like him!

That Coronavirus quarantine is to get us all at home so the world leaders can announce something terrifying!

From the Daily Mail comments that one.

My MIL claims the Chinese government created coronavirus to crash the Western economy.

@SonEtLumiere I’ve never heard of this guy before I found this video, he could be a complete nutter? I don’t know? But I do actually think he makes quite a few interesting points.

Is it worth putting everybody into lockdown, potentially destroying the economy and throwing everybody’s lives into chaos over a disease that 97% of people will survive? In fact that percentage is likely to be even higher given the amount of people that have the disease and have no idea as they have little to no symptoms. I don’t know 🤷‍♀️ all seems a bit fishy to me.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t be self isolating if you’re elderly, have a compromised immune system or are looking after someone who falls into either of those categories because you absolutely should.

But where is the sense in locking down everybody? I think it will just do more harm than good.

As someone who is young and relatively healthy, I am not afraid of catching the virus myself. I am afraid for the health of elderly members of my family and the community of course, thus the reason I think these people should be distancing themselves from the general public as much as possible. & of course I am being conscious to keep my distance from people and practicing good hand hygiene (as I usually do and everybody should) so as not to potentially pass on anything to people who are more vulnerable to this disease.

What I’m also really worried about is how this whole thing is gonna effect our lives at large and the kind of world we are going to live in when this is all over. Global recession is looking pretty likely, small businesses are already struggling, people are losing jobs and this is only the beginning of all of this. Life as we know it is over now and I for one am shitting myself about what’s next.

Makes no sense to me? I’m not saying I indefinitely believe there is some hidden agenda behind all of this, but I’m keeping an open mind

Nursetrixie · 19/03/2020 13:36

can someone please explain the Denver airport one to me please? I’ve read some stuff online about it but I don’t get it!

David Icke is infamous for being a bit of a complete nutter lol

HenHarrier · 19/03/2020 13:41

That Nick Hinton (Statue of Liberty guy) Twitter feed is ... um ... interesting. He’s busy quoting the bible now:

2 Chronicles 7:13-14 New International Version (NIV)

13 “When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, 14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land

So presumably that’s the climate emergency solved now?

OlaEliza · 19/03/2020 13:41

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.

MulticolourMophead · 19/03/2020 13:49

The Elisa Lam one freaked me out, especially when I started googling elevator game 😱 But she was bipolar and had stopped taking her medication so she was probably having a psychotic episode. Doesn't explain HOW she got into the water tank though.

It's been proven possible to climb in. Not necessarily suicide, because of the psychotic episode.

CockCarousel · 19/03/2020 13:51

I don't actually think he sounds that nutty now tbf. Cults are far more common than we realise .

rosegoldivy · 19/03/2020 13:54

Ohhhhhhh dear, I didn't realise the conspiracy theory I named was not to be discussed here.

My first deleted post from HQ hangs head in shame

LuxLFC · 19/03/2020 14:08

I agree with what David Icke is saying about the virus (except I do believe it is real). I really really believe it was allowed to spread for nefarious reasons. Look at article page 48 of the Tory Manifesto & the new act they're bringing in now. Problem - reaction - solution.
Another conspiracy theory I believe is predictive programming. No doubt about it. Just think, the CIA/FBI whoever admitted to MKUltra so what else is going on?

moondance19 · 19/03/2020 14:09

My dds boyfriend says it’s all about the New World Order and taking compete control of the people. That’s why money is gradually becoming obsolete. He says then they can conrol when you can eat. Lots of the Hollywood elite and the royal family are a part of it.

Mumtobe193 · 19/03/2020 14:09

Googled David Icke, a few of his theories are definitely quite far fetched to be fair.

But on this particular topic, I actually think much of what he’s saying seems to make a lot of sense. Not saying he’s absolutely right, but I’m not dismissing the possibility that what he’s saying has some truth to it.

HairyTesticles · 19/03/2020 14:09

@PickleASturgeon that Mj one sent chills down my spine! Dave Dave sounds so much like Michael!

moondance19 · 19/03/2020 14:16

Those kids DID go missing, it’s a shocking story isn’t it.

From the Daily Mail comments that one.

No, no! It's so "they" (maybe the New World Order, maybe the Illuminati, maybe some other shadowy evil lurkers) can inject us all with microchips when they give us the vaccine, which we will all be queuing up to accept!

OK, I made that up. But it's as good as any of the others. Watch it grow wings now.

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

Yep totally, we like dont exist at all
Especially the city nicknamed the city of churches is fake, no bibles there at all
We even had a lizard person as PM in tony abbot

9/11 ones make some interesting points

longtompot · 19/03/2020 14:30

@SameOldHorrorStory he doesn't disbelieve people died and the suffering and loss felt by their relatives, just the reason behind it wasn't what we were told.

Froq · 19/03/2020 14:38

This thread is a welcome distraction.

There was one I read about on here about a Polish man who was found dead in his family’s barn. It was ruled a suicide but the circumstances were really odd and the family never believed he’d taken his own life.

Grumpos · 19/03/2020 14:41

That Mo Farrah has a twin brother called Joe and they split the marathons Confused

Notredamn · 19/03/2020 14:42

Froq that rings a bell with me. Such a strange story where absolutely nothing added up!

longtompot · 19/03/2020 14:43

@ChampagneCommunist I agree with that one :(
