What Conspiracy Theories do you Believe?

I don't want to make this political but I believe George W Bush won the 2000 election against Al Gore. But that is only because the Associated Press did 5 different versions of the Florida count and all of them named Bush as the winner.

i'm into the whole "bush did 911 - jet fuel" thing. i cannot accept the amount of coincidences needed for this thing to work, not am i satisfied with the various "evidence", especially of the plane that hit the pentagon.

by which i mean conspiracies still majorly thought to be false. not those which are quite obviously true. also, considering the modus operandi of the CIA, i wouldn't be surprised if a whole bunch others were true as well.

If Bush were to have created 9/11 why would he also not throw a nuke in Iraq sand and then find it to justify the Iraq invasion?

Including the plethora of conspiracies that have been proven to have happened?

OK!

Those are no longer conspiracies but proven history. Just out of curiosity what goes into that bucket? The black men the US government gave syphilis. But i cannot think of anything else for some reason.

No. They are conspiracy hypotheses that have been proven to be true.

(People use the word "theories" inaccurately.)

It's ridiculously illogical to dismiss all unproven conspiracy hypotheses and simultaneously recognize that conspiracy hypotheses have been proven to be true. LOL

As for Tuskegee. The US government gave blacks syphilis and let them deteriorate for decades. The conspiracy lasted for a long time, even into the 1970s. It didn't just involve the government but also hospitals and such.

you confused the thread "conspiracy theories you believe are true" with the thread "conspiracy theories you are willing to discuss".
 
I'm cynical to a fault. I refuse to believe any conspiracy theory that requires more than two people to keep a secret for more than 2 seconds. Theories that require any level of competence from our government are similarly dismissed for obvious reasons.

Or maybe the government and world elites sent me here to say that??? Maybe the biggest conspiracy was the devil convincing the world he doesn't exist. :smilingimp:

Right, because Tuskegee was kept secret successfully for many decades.

That's one that I actually think might be feasible. Normally I laugh at the tools spreading that 9/11 Truther trash but this one isn't so nutter-fuckin-ridiculous. I still think the passengers took it down, but it wouldn't completely shock me to find out the USAF shot it down.

There would be evidence of a missile strike. Maybe eyewitnesses that saw it from the ground. Air traffic controllers that would have known about it. People are generally bad at keeping secrets for very long. While not impossible, it's so unlikely that I highly doubt it was shot down.
 
Remember there are those who like to preserve the "mystery," raising the same questions over and over, simply because they can make money off shows/books based on said "mystery."

Of course those people disgust me. We want truth, not endless conjecture.

So anyone that was ever interviewed by Art Bell is to be dismissed? My favorite guest he had on in the late 1990's said the governments of the world signed a treaty with aliens and it would expire by 2000 causing all earthlings to become slaves. He even said there was an alien spacecraft hiding behind the moon. That show was so entertaining!
 
TWA Flight 800 was accidentally shot down by the Navy performing exercises off the Eastern Seaboard.

The 1985 NBA Draft was rigged so the Knicks got Patrick Ewing: it wasn't a creased corner that gave the Knicks' envelope away, the envelope had been refrigerated so it was cold to the touch.
 
As an avid aviation buff, I can assure you "chemtrials" are bullshit. If they were real then the bastards that thought it up are also breathing it in too, duh!

But wait! Let me add to the conspiracy and say the new world order all got a vaccination against it. LOL!

... I also heard they took a virus from moon rocks and synthesized it to a industrial scale and secretly added it to Jet-A and AVgas. LOL
 
I believe that the government is watching everyone'si nternet history and listening in on phone calls.

Also aliens are real because there is no way a universe as big as the one we live in the only inhabitants are us.

That would be the most loneliest existence.
 
There are several folk etymologies for "Pommy" or "Pom". The best-documented of these is that "Pommy" originated as a contraction of "pomegranate". According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant" ("Jimmy Grant"). Usage of "pomegranate" for English people may have been strengthened by a belief in Australia that sunburn occurred more frequently among English immigrants, turning those with fair skin the colour of pomegranates.
