Are there any conspiracy theories you believe in?

[Errors]

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!

What? Of course the pilots can turn off the radar transponder. They can turn off anything. It's very rare to turn off the transponder when in normal flight, but they can do it. In fact sometimes air traffic control will ask them to, depending on traffic.

However, if you enter UK airspace with your transponder turned off, ATC will ask you to turn it on, sharpish, and if not you can expect a couple of Typhoons for company in short order. The 9/11 hijackers also turned off the transponders.

This sounds a little arrogant. You can't possibly know everything about everything and, as OP said, you can't possibly be sure everything you've ever been told by governments is true. Which it quite clearly is not. This is what allows conspiracy theories to flourish....

There were no manned missions in the Luna programme. The furthest they got was robotic landers. 🙏

The Moon is neither a star nor a planet, it's a moon (I know that sounds snarky, but there are lots of moons in our solar system alone, its just that ours has the least original name).

It's much closer (hundreds of times) to Earth than any planets or the Sun are, which is why visiting it is comparatively easy.

Agree with this.
Interesting SO many replies show a general consensus that Diana death not accidental.

I think the most compelling ‘conspiracy’ theories are the ones which don’t seem like conspiracies at all or which hover in a grey zone.. like Covid coming from a lab/intentionally created and Diana’s death.

Diana's mental health was fragile and she'd been lied to & manipulated by Martin Bashir. He wanted an interview slagging off the then Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal family, and went about getting it on a particularly cruel way. He knew she was paranoid and set about fuelling that.
Her death was a sad accident.

I think Diana’s death was accidental, but I do think her bodyguard Barry Mannakee was murdered.

They were allegedly having an affair and his death in a road traffic accident seems mighty suspicious.

Who leaked Charles “Tampon gate” phone call to Camilla? Was it before or after Squidygate?

Moon landings for me are a bit dubious

If they thought it was a 911 situation they would do for sure.

No, it has not.

Some people on this thread keep saying that it was proven by the FBI, it was not. They prepared a report saying that, based on the circumstantial evidence, they are moderately confident it came from a lab. Even in the US Government, most other agencies do not agree with them.

I'm very open to lab leak theory, but it is far from confirmed.

If a plane is believed to be hijacked by terrorists on a suicide mission, it will 100% be shot down before it can hit central London or a nuclear power plant.

In his memoirs, Tony Blair tells of precisely such an incident. The Chief of the Air Staff calls to say "We have a plane that is out of radar and radio contact, and you have to decide whether to shoot it down". Blair asks how long he has and the RAF chap says "Oh, at least another 15 minutes, Prime Minister". Anyway, in the end the fighter planes manage to get visual contact and the crew are giving the thumbs up, so all is well, but Blair mentions that he had quite a stiff drink after that.

(I'm afraid I see no logical connection whatsoever between this and illegal immigration.)

It’s a big club and you and I ain’t in it…

I absolutely agree with those who believe the McCann's know exactly what happened to Madelaine. One day it's all going to come out........

Won't launch into a lengthy diatribe here, but Richard D Hall's YT videos make for compelling viewing!

Princess Diana was murdered. Her Maj certainly wasn't whiter than white in the matter either!

We were definitely sold a lie regarding Covid.

Amused to read on here that (apparently) no intelligent, thinking person would believe in conspiracy theories. You could flip that - and say an intelligent person would consider every possibility.

I'm wondering how all the "Diana crash not an accident" CT ists think those who organised it could guarantee she (nor anyone else) would bother wearing seatbelts.

Maybe they knew it was common for them not to, but it wasn't guaranteed. And they'd probably have survived with them on. Not a very effective way of assassinating someone.

Things go wrong, that even experts can’t explain easily. Shit happens, it’s cock-up theory, not conspiracy theory. Or just a one-in-a-million set of circumstances, that it’s impossible to plan for.

Agreeing with previous posters - given the number of people that would have to have been involved in e.g. a fake moon landing - do you really think no one wouldn’t have taken the chance to earn millions by writing a book about it by now?

(Unless they’ve all been assassinated by the CIA…)

What about stars, then?

Actually i think all religions are conspiracy theories designed to control

Princess Diana was murdered

By people with the best "luck" ever.

Nah, if you persist in doing high speed, press evading (and baiting) chases with no seat belts .....

Having a tipsy driver doesn't help either (I know they didn't know that but ..).

I think a lot of what we are told is comllete bullshit.

Society is also designed to make us work like slaves for fifty years,

So we are too tired to question the system

I was watching a video of a psychic medium. The medium was channeling madeline.

Oh well then.

Mediums ... The souls of honesty and integrity.

They don't ever make shit up for money and attention.

How are they flimsy? Are you referring to the moon landers, which admittedly do look a bit cobbled together (saw one at the Science Museum) - but aren't
(BTW most of the rocket detaches a few minutes after launch.)
