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!

Thought Dando could have been a Serbian hit? Was a tv programme about it IIRC.

@MissTrip82 I don’t think governments always do the right thing or adhere to the rules, why would anyone be that stupid? People of normal intelligence are well aware that’s not the case.

So you agree then that the government and the powers in control are currently doing things that are ethically questionable, that the general public is unaware of?

That's literally what a conspiracy is.

Epstein did not kill himself. That seems so self-evidently true to me, I can't see how anyone believes the suicide story. I wonder who is on that list.

Who do you think killed him?

It’s ridiculous to think there are no conspiracies. Of course there are.

@SuperfluousHen What substances?

Next time you are at a shop, walk past the idiot in the white van who is idling his engine for no reason and have a sniff. Those are the substances that combustion of fossil fuels produce.

I think a lot of countries are at least experimenting with deadly viruses.
It's as much a deterrent as nuclear weapons.

I don't doubt it - the point was the person l quoted said it doesn't matter where it came from..they need to be more bloody careful!!

I am not an incel, so you have me confused with someone else.

Why sensible people think that Diana was killed off is:

Before she died, Diana wrote a note saying "they are planning a car crash in my car"

Well Diana was not exactly the most mentally stable person was she?

I have a theory that there are a lot of thick people who will believe any crazy theory as long as they can read about it or watch a documentary, without even questioning who wrote it/made it or why.

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

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

Agree, an ex MI5 agent has said she was assassinated as she was about to speak up against Israel and the oppression of Palestinians. In addition to being with a POC, etc:

Covid never existed. It was a made up lie made believable by constant visual illusions such as masks, yellow signs and non-stop msm propaganda and fake stories. The pictures of dozens of corpses in China, and people dropping dead was staged. All staged. And those hazmas suits 🙄

What are these substances, chemically and why are we supposed to believe they are able to change the climate?

How do we know she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

We are told what to believe.

They could just say "she wasn't wearing a seatbelt'.

Diana's sister said that Diana always put her seatbelt on

We don’t know 100% but in order for the reports of her not wearing a seatbelt to be lies, an awful lot of people would have to be involved in that falsehood, including the paparazzi, medics, first responders, etc.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Mohamed al-Fayed had orchestrated Diana's death, actually...

For what reason I mean his.own som died surely he would have known a fatal car crash would also be potentially fatal for Dodi?

Epstein did not kill himself. That seems so self-evidently true to me, I can't see how anyone believes the suicide story. I wonder who is on that list.

I'm inclined to think he likely did kill himself but I understand the suspicion.

Trump's then-Attorney General, Bill Barr, was also suspicious that it was suicide. Barr, loyal to Trump at the time, investigated and determined that it was a suicide that was allowed to happen due to a "perfect storm of screw-ups".

That would, of course, leave the possibility that Barr was covering for Trump or those who aligned with him - however, Trump and Barr have since massively fallen out and Barr turned against Trump on a number of matters. If he was covering up for Trump, I think he'd have flipped.

TheKeatingFive · 22/12/2024 20:45

Lola247 · 22/12/2024 20:38

Who do you think killed him?

I don't know. That's the conspiracy bit.

I presume the person who literally killed him was acting on the orders of someone else. Who, I don't know.

@DowntonNabby Speculation that the Titanic sinking was planned, for different reasons. One theory being the White Star Line were in significant debt, so planned it as an insurance scam. Another reason given relates to the deliberate sinking/drowning of a number of high profile Americans who opposed plans to introduce the US Federal Reserve. There are probably other theories, but these seem to be the main two.

The managing director of the White Star Line was on board. As was the ship's designer. The former survived and the latter died, but there was no guarantee as to who would survive and who would not. Plus Randolph Hearst in his inimitable manner, as well as Senator Smith of the US inquiry, went gunning for the company and its managers and properly succeeded in ruining them for good.

If this was an insurance scam then it backfired spectacularly, as anyone with an ounce of intelligence could have predicted. That horrible tragedy was the joint result of incompetence, contemporary inadequate policies on safety at sea, and the usual, commonplace seafaring superstition.

Conspiracy theorists really are none-too bright.

theDudesmummy · 22/12/2024 20:45

@BoundaryGirl3939 what about the people I knew who died from Covid?

You don’t find those people willing to come forward and stand by their die hard support for the government and MSM anymore. It’s like they never existed.

Apoarently everyone always knew that we were lied to in parliament and that WMDs didn’t exist. And that the authorities knew this and took us to war anyway.

The hard of thinking never admit that they were vociferous in their support of the lies. It’s the same with Covid. The die hard Covid enthusiasts who called everyone else a conspiracy theorist are slowly slinking away. Give it a few years. It’ll be like they never existed. No one will ever own up to being duped.

Hard to tell on which side you fall, but by "die hards" I'm assuming you mean the clowns who are convinced that COVID wasn't real/harmful, the vaccines are dangerous, and anyone who had one will die in 6 months/1 year/2 years/5 years/10 years/etc (delete as appropriate)? 🤔

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!

While admitting I rarely follow US Congressional proceedings, I kind of lost faith in what is said there after hearing that women can't get pregnant from rape because the female body has a "way of shutting that down" and ectopic pregnancies can be transplanted to the uterus 🙄

I remember about 10 years ago when Lana Del Rey first appeared on the music scene with her song Video Games, people going on about that she wasn't who she seemed; about her plastic surgery and that she was really Leonard Dilroy from New Jersey...
