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!

I got to the end of this and laughed - then I realised it wasn’t satire… You need help love.

I remember reading about the Paul McCartney CT and someone said it's all about the ears which led me down a rabbit hole to the CT that Katy Perry is Jon benet Ramsey and 'the ears proved it'. Some people have very vivid imaginations!

Oh, the ears! You've just reminded me about the hundreds of videos 'proving' Kate Middleton was dead and you could see it was a stand-in with William at the garden centre because ... ears 😂

That Bermuda Triangle had been rather quiet lately.

Saw one before which ties into 'fake space theory' that it's where the rockets go which are launched from the space centre on the coast of Florida.

I fully believe that there are aliens, some already from earth but from unexplored places (the oceans) and good at mostly staying hidden, some from other galaxies and using technology many years ahead of anything we can create.

The recent US congress hearings have been interesting and have stated that UFOs have disarmed nuclear weapons - obviously they see this as a huge threat to humans, but there are many humans that think disarming weapons that have the potential to destroy our planet under the control of nutters like Putin and Trump is a very good thing!

I’m generally of the opinion that conspiracy theories are stupid at best, downright dangerous at worst. DD21 was explaining to me the other day the ‘Larry Stylinson’ One Direction conspiracy theory, which involves secret marriage and a fake baby among many other deluded beliefs. All I could think was WTF Confused

I think that your ex is absolutely on the money!!

More likely he’s latched onto something because he’s low on intelligence & this makes him feel like he’s onto something.

This is someone that thinks ‘off the beacon track’ is a correct phrase.

I think most sensible people would agree that lab origin theory about Covid is potentially plausible, and this has been neither proved or disproved. I don't see that as a "conspiracy theory".

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

Agree with this, but it's hardly a conspiracy theory. It's simple probability in a near-infinite universe.

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.

“I have a degree of ✨ intelligence ✨ “

Are there any conspiracy theories you believe in?

I absolutely do not believe in the moon landings.

queenofarles · 22/12/2024 20:18

JFK too,
babushka lady and umbrella man were probably part of the plot.

There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq”

I didn’t think this was a conspiracy theory.

I was about to say this! This is the scandal of the 2003 invasion - the sexed up dossier etc. There have been many official reports and investigations that show WMD did not exist.

Totally on board with lizards running the country 😁🦎🦎

To be honest, it would be a relief that someone was actually in charge. 😁

loulouljh · 22/12/2024 20:18

The covid vaccine caused huge damage.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 22/12/2024 19:57

Eh? If it came from a lab it means they are creating contagious viruses capable of killing millions of people...!

@LadyTiredWinterBottom2 You might want to look up "gain of function" research.

That kind of research has been going on for a while. Obviously scientists have their faux moral debates and ethics committees before it gets a green light - but it's been happening a very long time in many countries.
