What's your favorite conspiracy theory?

I, personally, am quite fond of chemtrails, which are, of course, a massive government conspiracy (it’s mostly the NSA and CIA, with a bit of NASA tossed in) to blot out the sun and kill us all. Or possibly, to drop mind-altering substances on us all.

I also have a soft-spot in my heart for the fact that the new Denver, Colorado airport is part of a New World Order Masonic-sponsored Concentration Camp!

The things you learn whilst procrastinating…

I am so into the JFK Assassination thing that it isn’t even funny.

Well, it’s a little funny.

As revealed to me by the late-great-nate, the greatest conspiracy I know of is glow in the dark condoms.

They glow in the dark so the _____ (insert super-secret organization acronym here) can track them down in dark dumpsters and recover the DNA for nefarious purposes that range from creating HIV-like superviruses to selling genetic material to the aliens in exchange for stealth technology.

But that’s just the greatest one know of…

The Strange death of Bobby Fuller…(Bobby Fuller Four-“I Fought the Law”)

The death was in Los Angeles not long after the meteororic smash hit. Fuller, from Texas was in Los Angeles and gaining momentum. However, his girlfriend was a call-girl who was also seeing a top-ranking mafia figure. Los Angeles was mourning the recent passing of a former Police cheif when Fuller was found dead in his car. He was beaten and an open gas can was found in the vehicle. His pants were also pulled down to his ankles. Official cause of death? Suicide…
Evidence, including the gas can was tossed in a local dumpster. The death of a rock star wasn’t worth investigating…

The one I think most credible- the Fabian Socialist-Round Table-CFR-Trilateral New World Order Establishment.

My favorite- just expanding that to them being the direct successors of the Bavarian Order of Illuminati.

Mars is actually teaming with green plantlife.

NASA is deceiving the public.

Now you know the truth.

Once I heard that the world is being run by a secret race of reptiles, it all began to make sense.

Ah, David Icke. He’s my favourite too.

If I ever meet the Queen, I’m going to demand she show me her lower back - gotta check for the marks!

The story of the late and not-universally-lamented Pacific Electric.

That King William II Rufus of England was killed in some sort of strange, pagan ritualized sacrifice. Much more likely to my mind that a hit was put out on him by his brother.

It’s old, but it’s still gold.

Oh, man, this I did not know!

How splendidly eeee-vil!

If you ever get a chance to read “The Creature from Jekyll Island” and “Tragedy and Hope”, you will become convinced of the reality of the first.

My favorite is that Bush stole the 2000 election.

Bra’s are designed by women hating gay men who have no idea where a nipple goes in a bra or women hating lesbians who haven’t gotten any in a long time.

I have no proof. It’s just a guess. A well researched guess.
Oh, and McDonald’s is a secret organization bent on world domination and their franchises are just sleeper cells. When you think about it…it all makes sense.

Actually, that would be Starbucks. The Onion reported a couple of years ago that Starbucks was ready to launch Phase II of its world domination plan.

No one looked too closely, because almost everyone was happy that he was gone…

Old Joe Kennedy (founder of the clan) was secretly a Nazi. He had met secretly with English fascists (during his time as ambassador to England), and decided that Hitler would win the war.
After the war, Kennedy became a member of La Cosa Nostra, through the offices of Chicago Mob boss (Sam Giancana). Kennedy sought out the mob, because he wanted to get the inner city vote for his son Jack (in the run for president).
Finally, Lee Harvey Oswald was really a double agent for the CIA. His defection to Russia, and marriage to a russian woman, were all part of his “deep cover” role as double agent. He was s
“set up” by the CIA, to assassinate Kennedy (whom he (Oswald) belived was bringing the USA to ruin.

The Tupac Shakur - 7 Day theory amazes me a good bit…I don’t have a cite but info on this conspiracy theory is abundant online. It talks of how his lyrics were linked very closely to his death…or something like that.

Ah! Posted to quick again…anyway The tupac Shakur theory also links his stage name (Makaveli) to Niccolo Machiavelli and his writings about faking one’s death.

My favourite conspiracy theory is the one that holds that a shadow government maintains a secret base on the moon, where political undesirables are held as slave labourers/experimental subjects, etc.

I like it because its obvious that most of its variants are garbled versions of the old “X Minus 1” story, The Man In The Moon. I’ve actually played this episode for an adherant of the belief in the hopes of persuading him that he was being silly. Far from accomplishing that, he maintained that the silly sci-fi show was just a cryptic way of “getting the truth out.” Ooookay.
