Are there any conspiracy theories you believe in?

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!

unfortunately he isn’t making up the ‘own nothing’ part of this from thin air, a quick google and it’s a phrase directly from the World Economic Forum back in 2016.

So how are they going to take my home from me? Which is what my ex adamantly claimed?

How do you make someone not put on their seatbelt?

Quick….someone show this poster population increase, housebuilding, house prices and home ownership trend in recent years.

JFK's assassination – the trajectory of the bullets into his skull prove shots were fired from the grassy knoll as well as from the book depository.

I also have doubts about the moon landing. It makes no sense that no nation has ever returned.

Being a big fan of the JFK stories I must have read/ seen 100s of different interpretation of the 'evidence', I think we have to accept we'll never really know the truth.

1969 moon landings.

Hasn’t that been proven now?

Yes if you are Donald Trump!

ColinOfficeTrolley · 22/12/2024 21:45

In fact, I should have just said moon landing. Didn't need to put 1969 as that is the only time is apparently successfully happened.

They had the tech to do this 55 years ago, but we've been unable to do it ever since.

Some people believe it was tampered with so she couldn't wear it.

No matter what you say the people who believe something will have an answer. That's why CTs can break up families. There's no discussion or changing someone's mind.

Eg the queen wasn't really dead or had died years before If I said to them ok what if you were shown the body, nope that's a dummy or a double. There's always an answer.

Ida Auken clarified her essay was meant to start discussions about technological development and the potential for tech to facilitate a sharing economy. It wasn't a WEF mission statement to dispossess everyone!

... which is easy to find out from the WEF's own publications or even Wikipedia.

Careful with your well thought out, reasoned response, it'll rile up the crazies 😂

Pointless claim then if you can’t back it up. Just another conspiracy theorist that has no substance.

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.

Clearly you are not very clued up on English idioms.it’s ‘Of the beaten track,’

There's an alarming amount of theories on here that just root back to important people abusing kids and it really breaks my heart that it's been allowed to carry on

Daily fail….blah blah…..YouTube…..blah……gbeebeies blah blah blah.

So predictable. Just because you lack thinking skills to see beyond the end of your nose, doesn’t mean you can’t still try to come up with some original insults.

Yeah ok. I honestly don’t know why I’m trying to have a sensible conversation with you. You’re completely right, of course. It’s all a massive conspiracy theory handed over between the Tories and Labour as each take power from the other, designed to bring us all to our knees. And I’m quite sure that you and that other lunatic who agreed with you would have some perfectly workable ideas to bring it all to a halt.

Verbena17 · 22/12/2024 21:53

There are so many ‘conspiracy theories’ that are no longer theories.
Nuland admitted the USA has biolabs in Ukraine for example. If anyone thinks Russia is actually at war with Ukraine, you need to start googling what really went on in 2014.

Then there’s this….

Are there any conspiracy theories you believe in?

There used to be hundreds of videos on YouTube of Biden sniffing young girls hair and being rather handsy with them, and of parents of girls keeping them away from him.

They’ve gone now.

What conspiracy theory are you suggesting I believe in? I didn’t make any claims? I think you’re confused.

Agree🤣 he also used fustrsted as in ‘I’m fustrated with you’ so it’s no surprise he’s a conspiracy theorist really😂

He also thought Astra Zeneca was a car dealership🙄

oh dear. Are you the type of person who takes everything literally. Like jumping off a cliff when someone says ‘break a leg’.

And taking asset price inflation to mean that the big bad secret service people are coming to take your house off you tomorrow.
