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!

There are apparently some people who believe Australia doesn’t exist and those of us who claim to live there are paid actors. I did come across a flat earther here in Australia, I should have asked him if he believes Europe is real.

My “conspiracy theory” is that I don’t think people truly really believe in their own conspiracy theories. I think conspiracies serve some kind of purpose for them and that varies from person to person, depending on the nature of their beliefs or what’s in it for them. It seems like these days there is a range of conspiracy theories available for every single event and from every political angle. Every social and cultural group now seem to have their own conspiracies. There must be a benefit from doing so.

i was 14 when Diana died , I don’t remember her being very popular in fact lots of magazines mocked her , she had some very funny staged photos ,her at the gym then her photos with a surgical mask and heavy eyeliner then ending things with the doctor and moving in with the playboy , her death was a horrible accident.
if it was the norm to finish people like that , I think they would have done it to far more threatening former members like W&E .

as for MH370, it was so strange when it went from an international search to Australia calling if off suddenly , the only explanation is the wreckage was found but was agreed not to disclose anything else.

whoever killed JFK also killed his brother Robert.

I agree with what ppl said about glasses.

If i don't wear glasses for a long time, my eyesight starts to get better.

If i do wear glasses for a couple of months, and then i take them off for one day, I can't see a thing.

The glasses make my eyesight worse

Err actually Pfizer tried to prevent the public from seeing trial data for 75 years. Thankfully that was stopped and they had to disclose it.

But they couldn't stop you from interacting with literally any of the people (and there are billions of them) who received the vaccine and were fine, yeah.

LeftoverTurkeyPie · 23/12/2024 09:30

There was a similar thread here years ago, and someone said that Jackie Kennedy shot JFK, and that you can see her hiding the gun in the back of the seat of the car before climbing out of the back to try to get help.

I watched the video of the assassination and once seen it’s difficult to unsee!

I think the glasses weaken your eyes, as they make your eyes depend on lenses to see

Diana was a very complex character and yes some papers were less than complimentary about her
It was after her death she became the sainted Diana.

FeegleFrenzy · 23/12/2024 09:35

I think it’s a biological fact that if your glasses correct your vision your eye muscles get weaker and your eyesight gets worse (if you’re prone to being short sighted). I’m -10 and Dd is -14. I wish these fancy new lenses which supposedly slow myopia down had been around years ago.

Didn’t she say it was part of his head/brain which landed on her lap and she was clutching it?

One of the Diddy accusers alleges that she was trafficked by social services and taken to a Diddy freak off.

See - I heard that a (this?) victim was locked up under his home with other minors. There are confirmed tunnels under his home.

But I didn’t hear that she got there via social services! How awful.

The lizard people 🦎

According to David Icke it included the Queen, George Bush and Boxcar Willie.

SuperflousHen I too dont believe in the moon landings .Even as a child ,I could never understand how we never returned .We watched a good film ,which showed how the moon "landing" could have been staged . It was a race to get there in the late 1960s. Also Dianas death was not accidental ,she felt she was being targeted. Covid not really convinced either way really

SatansBobbleheadedDashboardOrnament · 23/12/2024 09:51

No doubt been said a thousand times, but the Avril Lavigne is dead one is sheer brilliance. It makes for a cracking rabbit hole of reading, if you can be bothered to go on the forums etc. You go, Melissa!
Same goes for the Paul McCartney is dead theory.

HelpMeGetThrough · 23/12/2024 09:53

That Covid wasn't real.

Oh hang on a sec, I had it. Ah, that's blown that one.

Seriously, as some have said here, Diana's "accident". Feels to me she had become too much of a problem for some.

But astronauts did return, @dottydodah - two each on Apollos 12, 14 and 15

They went to the moon several times but it was ridiculously expensive to get there.

We’ve got the technology, but who wants to spend the money? We have enough problems managing our future survival on our “little blue dot”.

You are wrong and people saying we already have the technology clearly don’t know much or read much about science. The China Manned Space Agency are spending a lot of money on it and this year shared with the world the high tech space suits they have designed to withstand radiation etc.

The government has been doing experiments on people where they remove half their brain. The main side effect seems to be that they believe Diana was murdered, 911 was an inside job and the moon landings were faked

NotTerfNorCis · 23/12/2024 10:07

The deaths of Stephen Chamberlain and Mike Lynch in freak accidents days apart looked strange to me.

There were also the Marconi staff deaths a few years back.

You are a deluded fool, who seems to think they were the only person on MN alive at the same time as Diana. Lots of us were also alive, we know what people thought about her at the time of her death, and she wasn't nearly as popular, or relevant, as you seem to think.

Edited

The most famous woman on the planet, she was unbelievably popular and a fixture of the front pages. Paps made their entire careers based on selling images of her.

The reaction to her death was unlike anything any of us have or will ever see.

The last few years I’ve suspected chemtrails and geoengineering and solar management (which is a thing it’s on government website if you look), definitely something going on, but this post has definitely enlightened me and made me think hmmmm maybe !
also Covid was one big lie, definitely things don’t add up there. The Covid jabs where a complete money making scam that have killed more than Covid, again not a conspiracy really as proven true.
Dianas death not accident.

Utter nonsense. The Covid vaccine is not 100% safe, nothing is. But is sure as hell didn't kill anywhere near as many people as Covid did.
utter, offensive nonsense.

Covid came from a lab.

I think it's a mixture of a lab accident and the live markets. The perfect viral storm which it's why it spread so quickly. Covid infects every part of the body and like the cold and the flu, it's impossible to accurately vaccinate for it. Edit to add that the first Covid vaccinations were a life saver and helped so many people worldwide.
