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!

@Wheninromme Sandy Hook theory is a particularly evil conspiracy theory which has caused immense harm, why would you buy into it?

PyongyangKipperbang · 22/12/2024 19:52

I wouldnt say that I definitely believe its true but I would not be in the slightest bit surprised to learn that Donald Trump arranged his own "attempted" assasinations.

Oh yes definitely the most likely explanation and couldn’t possibly be the German man who was in the area at the time and went on to rape/murder other children. Jesus wept

He's never been charged with her murder has he.

@RichardnotJudy what motive would Chris Whitty have had? And what about the government health advisors in all the other countries on earth? The UK government's response was similar to that of many other countries (and a lot less restrictive than some).

Over40Overdating · 22/12/2024 19:53

@RichardnotJudy Yet again proving that the anti-lockdown conspiracy nuts are the dregs of society and not the morally or intelligently superior beings they claim.

It could have been an accident but it's strange that she wrote a note saying

"They're planning an accident in my car"

PenguinLover24 · 22/12/2024 19:53

Covid was released from a lab on purpose, princess Diana's death wasn't an accident and the queen ordered it, the now king was involved with Jimmy Savilles crimes, 9/11, the moon landing was faked, Epstein and Diddy are guilty but there are higher ups and they've been sacrificed, Hollywood stars basically sell their souls to these higher ups, Epstein didn't commit suicide and they will say Diddy did the same soon enough. Oprah is one of the higher ups 🤷🏼‍♀️

We don’t know the full truth about JFK assassination

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

Oh, for sure. I don't totally believe many high profile assassinations were actually carried out by the person convicted. And almost certainly not acting alone or for the reasons that were reported.

I loathe any pedalling of this line of conspiracy. It's so utterly disrespectful and horrid.

JFk
Hillsborough
Death on the Rock
Bloody Sunday
Lab leak
The post office scandal
facial recognition

some proven in court but still involve a huge conspiracy, some a smaller scale conspiracy

I am amazed at how many otherwise sensible people believe the Diana conspiracy theory.

If you planned to kill someone you do it in a way that minimises variables . In Diana's case no-one in the British Government or royal family had any control over her route, timings ,destination, vehicle or staff. They also couldn't control if she wore or didn't wear a seat belt and the other traffic on the road . If an accident was caused they could have not know if it would result in injury , fatality or neither . It was not in the UK, so no control over the emergency service being complicit . Also autopsy performed outside UK .
The amount of people being involved would be enormous.

It also didn't come at the great time many people believe. Her relationship with Dodi wasn't that well received by the public but her death immediately transported her into near sainthood .
It was a tragic accident .

I like the one about the Olympic sinking instead of the Titanic. I remember reading that the owners claimed for damage for stuff that were on Olympic but not Titanic.

I also think Covid came from the lab and ended up at the market due to someone who had been at said lab first. I did read that Americans had visited the lab not long before the virus linked, so wouldn’t surprise me if they leaked it too (either intentionally or accidentally).

Yes, I've read that, and think it's very plausible. He was a double agent and lead a very high risk life.

He fascinates me, wondering if there are any good biographies about him.

What a vile comment to make. To wish a violent death on a man because you didn't like what he said.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq”

I didn’t think this was a conspiracy theory.

It's not a theory, they didn't find any.

I would love to see him on trial for her murder but until that happens I am not convinced about the evidence the Germans have on him.

theDudesmummy · 22/12/2024 19:56

@Moonfasa100 A great many people have committed murders and not been charged with them. In most countries there is a pretty high standard of proof and the chance of guilty people being let off has to be balanced with the chance of innocent people being convicted, which means that there will always be those who get away with it. OJ Simpson for example.

A lot of people who believe that CT don't believe it was the car crash that killed her. They believe the car crash was arranged with the driver so that paid off paramedics would attend the scene and kill her.

It was at the time. The definition is anything that goes against the current narrative.

Yes, but wasn’t it proven to be true?

I believe it's the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe that life only began here we might be the only lifeforms that look like us in this universe but we are not alone

I think this too but am sure that were we to find them we would be encouraged to hate them!
