Conspiracy Theories that you think might be, or are true.

Mr. Psychologist · September 28, 2014, 05:39:14 PM

The most common one being that the US Government had a hand in orchestrating 9/11, which wouldn't surprise me completely if it turned out to be true but I don't quite think it is a conspiracy.

So rather than this being a shitfest of Obummer is a kenyan arab muslim reptile, try to think of ones that could actually have some truth to them.

But none at all that might be true? Or cover ups?

No. We'll accept a bad theory to a proper one, on the whole, so I make a point of trying to break the mold there.

Most conspiracy theories are intensely-concentrated bullshit when you pay it some semblance of intelligence and I don't think governments are capable of covering them up as well as they apparently have been.

Mordo · September 28, 2014, 06:05:27 PM

The only conspiracy I can think of with a semblance of legitimacy behind it is the aforementioned 9/11 orchestration. That being said, even that has a lot of contradictory evidence and claims that just don't hold up under scrutiny.

well, considering the files are still on lock-down until 2017...

I will say this, though - a lot of highly questionable things happened with how evidence was handled and how Oswald was transported, etc.

Of course. It's the most reasonable and likely conspiracy theory out there.

Other than the JFK thing, I can't think of any.

I believe in alien life existing, but nothing along the lines of things like Roswell or the supposed "alien coverups". I mean, NASA atm is looking for evidence of life on Mars, I'm sure by now whatevever top-secret organisation that would be involved in that sorta thing would have slipped it to them that there's little green/grey men visiting Earth by now.

Sky World · September 28, 2014, 06:33:22 PM

I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy theory, but all the liberal white knights cry about how it is so I guess I'll just put it here. Anyway, I believe that global warming is an elaborate hoax scientists and the government use to expand their power. There's other interests at play too, like alternative energy corporations looking to make a profit, as well as anyone looking for some tax breaks. Probably the biggest scam there is right now. Still, I wouldn't say it's a conspiracy theory seeing as about half of the U.S. holds the same opinion. But oh-no! According to liberals, we're all stupid and uneducated, even despite the statistics that republicans hold more college degrees than democrats.

Oh great, a falsified graph from a government administration whose power increases if people come to the conclusion they're trying to get us to come to.

Pro-tip: the government isn't a valid source.

The US wanting to plunder Iran for ancient Persian artifacts... Well it probably isn't true it it's my favourite

I also enjoy the scary secret military experiments.

But I think out of all of them the Russian dead man switch is true.

The problem with this seems to be two assumptions you're making. The first is that nobody stands to benefit by manipulating information to fit the status-quo and the second is that scientists, the government and the renewable-energy industry are the only networks which stand for the environmentalist position. Correct me if I'm wrong in that analysis, however, neither of those assumptions are correct.

Pope Benedict XVI stepped down due to being blackmailed as for being part of the sex scandals

Typical NWO/secret society having control over world affairs

We knew about Pearl Harbor but let it happen........Same with 9/11

Sinking of the USS Maine was conducted by the government to promote U.S imperialism

American involvement in the Middle-East is for the purpose of controlling oil and ensuring the protection of the petrodollar

We're hostile with Iran not because of nuclear program, but because of it's resistance to accept the petrodollar

Existence of aliens is being kept quite by the government

And a various of other things. I'm not an idiot who laughs at people for thinking in a differing manner because over the years, countless conspiracy theories have ended up as being true including NSA/government data collecting, government tainting alcohol with chemicals during Prohibition, a plan to set up a fascist government by Gerald MacGuire and William Doyle of the American Legion veterans’ organization in 1934, asbestos being claimed as safe by companies, and many others

The government benefits by manipulating information. The "green" corporations do too. That isn't an assumption I'm making.

Well sure, there's also non-profits and educational institutions. For as far as non-profits are concerned, they may think they're doing the right thing, but they're simply wrong. For educational institutions, if they're public, they're technically part of the government. If they're private, not only is the teaching of global warming less common, but like the non-profits, they may think they're doing the right thing, but they're simply wrong. The main driver behind global warming policy change is self benefit, the second driver is misinformation.
