Inspired by another thread

I find conspiracy theories really interesting. I have never ‘believed’ any of them, more enjoy discussing them and how likely it seems that they could be true. I also think it’s more far fetched to believe that everything we have ever been told or ever will be told is the whole truth.

Are there any CTs you believe in? Lead me down a rabbit hole please!

Princess Diana’s death wasn’t a simple accident. Too well timed.

Other than that, I don’t think I believe in many!

Covid came from a lab.

Covid came from a lab.

Hasn’t that been proven now?

Princess Diana.

No. Because I have a degree of intelligence.

Conspiracy theories are created by people who get rich by sucking in the gullible. Some could be deemed to be harmless but many are dangerous (e.g those that died from covid because they believed the crackpot antivaxx theories or those that are designed to instil fear such as the 5g bollox). All are designed to be 'interesting' so you keep clicking. Every time you click on a conspiracy theory website you are lining the pockets of these vile people.

Covid probably was planned by the Chinese.

I also am not convinced diana death was accidental.

Toopulululu · 22/12/2024 18:19

I’ve seen no proof either way but I’d be open to the covid is from a lab theory. It’s at least plausible.

Aside from that, they’re all pretty much a load of bollocks.

No the official line is still that it developed in bats and infected people by zoonosis. But the lab theory is quite widely believed.

I honestly thought I had heard in the news a while back that a report showed that it definitely did 😂
Maybe I wasn’t paying attention

We don’t know the full truth about JFK assassination

Jack Ruby was just too convenient to be having at the right time

In many instances I would agree with you.
But also I just cannot bring myself to believe that everything we have ever been told is absolutely accurate and that we have never been lied to about certain events

I too throughly enjoy conspiracy theories. My favourite ones are the Bermuda triangle ones, the titanic ones, that Eminem we see today is a clone and about celebs faking their deaths.

CesarSoubreyon · 22/12/2024 18:24

The murder of JFK.

For LHO to get that many hits on a moving target with a bolt action rifle within seconds is impossible even for an expert sniper, which he was not. Also, one shot came from a different direction as shown in the Zapruder film.

The whole situation surrounding the assassination, the arrest of LHO and then the assassination of him by Jack Ruby makes for interesting reading. Jack Ruby then conveniently died quickly afterwards too.

After my ex went down this rabbit hole & spent his life trying to get me to stop being ‘brainwashed’ by the MSM and believe him that Covid vaccines killed & are still killing millions, that we will
own nothing, we will all work for the government and rent houses back from them & many other ridiculous things, I just totally turn off if I get a sniff of this thinking from anyone!

I don’t believe in it (or any conspiracies) but I love reading about the Morrissey lyrics predicting Diana’s death.

I don’t think all conspiracy theories are created equally.
There are some that are complete bollocks - the one you mention being one of them. See also flat earthers and 5G

Avril Lavigne died and was replaced.

I don't actually believe it but it's good reading!

Another interesting read is that Stevie wonder isn't blind and can actually see perfectly. Lots of people believe it.
