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!

Dr David Kelly didn't commit suicide is the only one I believe to be true. He knew too much.

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

Edited

So why wear them at all?

Yes more hypocrisy when every day couples aren't given permission

Divorced people get married in Anglican churches quite often actually.

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.

Totally agree. The Sun newspaper headlined: 'Where is our Queen, where is her flag?'. The Queen was forced to return to Buckingham Palace, and give a televised speech against Royal protocol because of the intense anger and public reaction towards her over the RF's response to her death. This was unprecedented, people who are minimising the impact of Diana's death on this thread sound clueless. I went to Kensington Palace after her death and attended Hyde Park to view the funeral on screen. This was an unforgettable and impactful event. I do believe that any early sign of pregnancy may not have been visible in the first autopsy.

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!

😂😂
So she'd do that in full view of the public as opposed to, say, poisoning him at the White House?!

One thing I’m sure of, however the COVID virus originated in China, they’re never going to reveal the extent of what they know. As far as they can manage it, denial and cover-up is the way of Chinese officialdom.

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

That is patently false.
The goverment has been implementing microchips that control our thoughts via vaccinations.

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.

I was coming on to add the Marconi deaths. They are so strange and it's the only real conspiracy theory I believe in. I would love to know the details of what those scientists were working on.

Also Gareth Williams death is not entirely explainable. However I do believe that his escapology ventures finally reached a deathly conclusion. Terribly interesting nonetheless.

Jeez, if you think that the covid vacs killed more than the virus you seriously need to step away from your screens for a few years, or maybe the rest of your life.

'A complete money making scam' - do you seriously think that governments around the world conspired to to create a situation where millions would die, so that some drug companies and the supply chain would profit? That they would undermine their economies so that a select few would make money? That's absolutely mad.

What’s mad is that you have so much faith in those in power.

Its the height of naivety to think that governments don’t rip people off to pay off their paymasters aka lobbyists.

It’s crazy to think that you think that believe those in power to be pink, fluffy and rainbows and daisies types that have no inclination to serve their own interests.

Such naivety is dangerous.

What happened then and why?
I’m not entirely certain but I believe Courtney Love had something to do with it. Wasn’t there a guy who was hired by her as a PI and he got suspicious and devoted his life to trying to prove she was behind it. He found scraps of paper where she had practiced his hand writing (presume to fake his suicide note) and plenty have said that with the amount of Heroin in his system and the gun that was used that it would have been impossible for him to have died by his own hand'

Kurt Cobain had a long history of depression.

He had already tried to commit suicide by swallowing pills when in Italy (and was taken to hospital on time thanks to Courtney).

He also had several relatives who had taken their own lives.

He was struggling with addiction, fame and physical health issues.

It is very sad but frankly not surprising that he ended his life.

There is a lot of misogyny against his wife at the root of this silly conspiracy theory...

Yes. The Kurt conspirators always ignore the previous Rohypnol and champagne attempt that Courtney saved him from.
interestingly, I've only ever heard it from students who weren't around then. I was in Year 10.
it was awful. Nobody was surprised though. A deeply troubled man albeit a talented one. They also effectively had overnight fame with Nevermind at a ridiculously extreme level. It's a lot to cope with. Especially when fans turn you into some kind of redeemer when you're just a person.

I’m amazed how many people think Diana was assassinated. A few points:

Diana had been sidelined from the Royal Family, she had no title or power within it. If Meghan and Harry failed to bring down the monarchy with their antics, what could Diana have done?

She had withdrawn from public life and just became tabloid fodder, I was in my mid twenties at this time and no one was that bothered about her - until she died.

Mohammed Al-Fayed was instrumental in the “they was murdered campaign, and we now know all about him. Even then Al-Fayed was seen as a shady figure and people were fascinated/horrified that she was hanging around with these tacky people.

She wasn’t pregnant - as confirmed by various friends. Why would she get herself shackled to Dodi when she only ever saw it as a summer fling.

The RF weren’t exactly fans of Camilla either, no way would they give much thought to whether the public would accept her.

The Queen would not sanction her murder. And Phillip did not have the power to enforce it either. Instead, they just froze her out - much more effective.

Fergie embarrassed the Royals with her toe sucking photos in the press - why didn’t they murder her?

They have probably done a sneaky DNA test on Harry plus they know all about the timeline of her affair with Hewitt - her police protection would know.

Do you think they’d let Harry shit talk them in the media if he really was Hewitt’s son?

British special forces (or whoever people think did it) would not choose a car crash in a tunnel in France to end her. Unless of course, they didn’t want to obey orders and therefore staged the most unreliable hit ever. With one survivor who put his seatbelt on.

The End.

Also, quite unpopular.

What definition of 'unpopular' are you applying and what is your criteria for determining her level of unpopularity? Such a strange comment. Anyone who was around at the time of her death knew how much she was adored. She was not perfect and was subject to criticism, but she was the most famous woman on earth and incredibly popular. Did you see her funeral, the outpouring of grief, the newspaper headlines? What about that speaks 'unpopular'?

Standard CT argument to reduce everything to black and white. In your works it's always "those in power are nefarious and obviously working for shadowy puppet masters for their evil.workd domineering plans and if you don't believe that you must think everyone is perfect and wonderful and never does anything wrong and you're so naive".

When actually it's all grey area in-between. Nobody thinks politicians and everyone in power is perfect and working purely for the good of humanity. But that doesn't mean anything like your ridiculous extreme either.

Fergie was not mother to the future heir, not comparable. Diana was seen as a threat and unpredictable: if she had been pregnant with Dodi's child this would not have created a constitutional crisis but it would have been an enormously difficult situation for the Royal Family. Why did the Queen have to return to Buckingham Palace to give a speech to the public because of the anger about their muted reaction to her death? She could have been in the early stages of pregnancy. You have set out a series of half baked statements to support your own narrative.

She was not "adored". The newspaper headlines before her death were very critical. Her sons were at boarding school and when they broke up she was on a yacht with her boyfriend. There were criticisms of her behaviour with the harassment of another man, and her greed and self absorption.
Her untimely death turned her into a saint and made many people "adore" her.

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

We did return several times. There's not much there though so not worth the huge expense.
Clearly haven't watched Apollo 13.

Well that’s settled then.

Funny how the braindead will conduct mental gymnastics if the highest order to avoid the embarrassment of having been ripped off and fallen for government lies and propaganda.

Were you also stood on yours doorstep banging pots and pans every Thursday?

Lots of people look back and feel massively embarrassed at being duped.
