Following on from the thread where OP was looking for conspiracy theories for her kids to look at, I was wondering whether anyone actually believes any of the outlandish conspiracies.

We’ve all read about how people believe that Elvis didn’t die/Paul McCartney did die/the royals are all lizards/the earth is flat. But I’ve never encountered anyone who actually believes any of them, only people who talk about people who (apparently) believe in them.

So, what conspiracies do you actually believe and why?

@Whatdoyoudowhendemocracyfails

Here’s a niche one - the drummer from Motley Crue died of an overdose and they had to get a stand-in, but to make him convincing they had to copy every inch of Nikki Six’s tattoos Grin
Ha! This is amazing. Are you thinking the overdose of December 1987? That he didn't actually survive?

There are absolutely loads of different species of primates. We ARE the 4th ape. Why assume all humans are the same species?

Hammonds · 27/01/2021 22:45

Are you saying that Rh negative people are a 'different species' of human? hmm

Yes I’ve read this too. 90% of the worlds population is RH positive and directly connected to the Rhesus monkey - the other 10% is RH negative and isn’t. There is a theory that aliens came and created the ‘missing link’ to speed up evolution. I read this in a book called the ‘blood line of the gods’

Ooh conspiracy thread. Had to rejoin mumsnet to reply! I don't believe the official narrative on:

Diana's death
Jill Dando's murder
Dr David Kelly
JFK
Jeffrey Epstein
9/11
Covid-19
Wars; I believe there is a lot of funding to both sides of wars
Biden winning enough votes

Jetatyeovilaerodrome · 27/01/2021 22:46

@bottleofbeer

Yes, I believe RH- are a different species.

Why not? Nobody knows why we have no antigens. We reject second positive babies because our bodies see them as something to reject. We need certain drugs to carry them to term.

None of that means a different species though? It's just an anomaly of the human species isn't it?

My mum is rh negative.... does that mean she’s an alien, because she’s bloody good at hiding it in my 32 years 😌

This whole thread is an embarrassment to Mumsnet. Catch yourselves on , people
One I’ve just remembered. Four tigers together are lots of fun 🤣
Calledyoulastnightfromglasgow · 27/01/2021 22:50

I’m obviously easily led but my list is long too:

  • David Kelly
  • first moon landing
  • Harry’s dad
  • JFK shooting/Marilyn Monroe
  • I think covid was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan
  • Epstein’s death

Funnily enough I think it was a car crash that killed Diana

@DigitalGhost

I don't believe a plane hit the pentagon.
Why don't you believe it?

Why would they make it up and for what purpose? What reason would there be for them to invent the story? What benefit would there be?

bottleofbeer · 27/01/2021 22:51

First positive babies are fine but they create antigens in much the same way as a virus does so the next positive baby is seen as a threat that our bodies reject. Why? I'd say that nature tries to prevent us having babies with positive men because we are not the same. Like animals won't mate with different species.

GeidiPrimes · 27/01/2021 22:52

I kind of believe we could be living in a simulation, (there's a strong possibility we are) maybe part of some kids history homework or something.

At some point we'll merge with AI or they'll become our masters - possibly spurred on by more advanced VR (most welcomed because we're all so isolated now) - you'll be able to have a completely immersive experience online - nightclubs, dating, shagging, festivals etc without leaving your sofa. Not really a conspiracy, more an opinion of humanity's future.

I think Trump was behind Covid19 - and was Putin pulling his strings? He certainly caused a great deal of instability during his term as POTUS.

Epstein - surely bumped off. Brittany Murphy + partner's death were odd. I think paedaphila is more widespread among the elite than we imagine. There was a young actor who reportedly took his own life, just prior he released a video depicting some primary school age in a lavish Turkish bath-house. He'd been very vocal about the systemic paedophilia in Hollywood in the weeks leading up to his death.

Georgia Guidestones are interesting - they tie in with the Bill Gates eugenics conspiracy because they have an inscription stating to maintain the earth's population at 500,000,000.

AlternativePerspective · 27/01/2021 22:52

IMO some people “believe” some of these conspiracies because they make for a good story.

Such as MM and Kate using surrogates. Why? And why would someone assume that they had.

I also think that with many conspiracies people want to think it is something more.

Diana’s death was an accident

Jill Dando was killed by Barry George. It’s just that people want to believe that she must have known something, but she wasn’t anything special, iyswim.

George however was already a dangerous rapist and it stands to reason that he was the person who killed her.

@EggyPegg - I had to go and google it and it’s half true, I must have read it years ago. A guy used to claim that he had been hired by the band, not because Sixx was dead but because he was injured. He tried to sue the manager Grin

For anyone interested in JFK, another documentary is 'Everything is a rich man's trick'. I think it was produced about 10 years ago and describes Bush/CIA involvement theories.

Nanny0gg · 27/01/2021 22:53

This is a really horrible thread.

KarmaNoMore · 27/01/2021 22:54

I do think that Dominic Cummings has just gone underground but still advising Boris from the comfort of his own home.

indemMUND · 27/01/2021 22:54

I don't "do" conspiracy theories. But Madeline McCann and JonBenet Ramsey, there's more to those cases that haven't been admitted. Same goes for many, many other missing persons/murder cases. There doesn't have to be conspiracies at play if omissions seem to pass muster like this.

I know the young actor your talking about. He named many high profile names and said that if his body gets found he didn’t commit suicide. His body was later found and suicide was cause of death.

The Titanic's sister ship the Olympic, which had been damaged beyond repair in a series of incidents and would no longer pass inspection and so was uninsurable, was switched with the Titanic and deliberately sunk so that Leonardo Di Caprio would have an opportunity to draw Kate Winslet's breasts.

BadEyeBri · 27/01/2021 22:57

@bottleofbeer

There is more than one species of human. Why do rhesus negative women need anti d injections to stop them rejecting a baby?

Doesn't happen in the animal world. They're not naturally supposed to have babies with rhesus positive men.

It happens in horses actually. Neonatal isoerythrolysis. Sorry to burst your bubble.

My dad told me this and it made much more sense than the official story! Maybe I’m just very gullible.

I’ve been looking at the April Lavigne one - what a pile of shite! It’s obvious she just grew out of her Sk8ter Boi phase and bought a few dresses - it’s clearly the same person!

@gwenneh

This is not about the mean in that video. It's not about Dalton. This is about James L. Courtney the evidence is much better for him.

www.goodreads.com/book/show/51942188-the-mysterious-life-and-faked-death-of-jesse-james

The dna can apparent ly be debunked. I'm only one chapter in so can't expand on that just yet.
The new documentary focused on James being part of the Knights of the golden circle. The Knights used code to mark the spots where payment was left for supporters of the cause, buried in mason jars.

The program focuses on a search of land used by the gang in Kansas. Knight markings were found scratched into sandstone with many sites bwaring the jnitials JJ. Following the directions the team unearthed a couple of things, one of which was a pay jar containing a fair few dollars, some of which were minted after his supposed death. The directions to the jar were coupled with the initials JJ.
