What is your favorite Conspiracy Theory?

Just for fun...

what is your favorite "Conspiracy Theory?"

I read them as fiction, but some of them must be true.

[Nitro]

Feel free to flame on...........

I am bullet-proof!

[Nitro]

Ping and have fun here.

That humans were seeded onto this planet by an alien master-race.

I don't really believe that, but it IS one of my favorites!

[ETERNAL WARMING]

That JFK was assassinated in Dallas because he'd caught on the the Federal Reserve Scam and was quietly trying to do something about it. Texas was the only state at that time whose money was still backed by silver instead of thin air our money is backed by today.

I happen to believe it. Bobby was killed for the same reason. There was supposedly a memo from JFK to BK calling for an urgent meeting just before he was shot.

[Nitro]

Beleive it or not, that may be true...

witness "ALH84001" the rock the thought had "alien" microscopic life.

But, just between you and me.. what if a meteor smashed into another planet or planetoid and a small piece fell onto Earth and that is what started the chemical reaction that led to life?

Or not

[Nitro]

That is a new one to me...

my first interest came in the JFK incident as well...

but, I had heard it was the 'Industrial-Military' complex that didn't want to give up the cash...

because JFK was going to end the fight, just like he short-circuited the "Bay of Pigs: thing.

[tiamat]

That could happen.

Not sure it changes anything.

(And if it had, how could we tell? )

[Recovering_Democrat]

I don't know if you'd call it a "favorite", but here is one:
The Democrat and Republican parties are the same thing. No difference between the two.

Some people actually believe that. LOL

[tiamat]

More paranoia ping.

[Nitro]

Do you mean that underall, they sell the same thing?

Like gas stations that have one tank and sell three different levels of gas?

Both are good theories, but here is one I believe...

I think the Government loves having the 'races' argue, so we won't unite and find out their sins!

[Nitro]

I am not paranoid...

a little loaded, yes!

Please notice I said, "just for fun".

[MadIvan]

I don't believe this theory, but it gives me a chuckle - the theory that the moon landings were somehow "faked".

[atomic conspiracy]

My favorite holds that former Attorney General Ramsey Clark was blackmailed into becoming an anti-American agitator after anti-war radicals learned that he had ordered the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations.

Clark was AG at the time (J. Edgar Hoover's boss), his career as a lefty shill started as soon as he left office in 1969, he has been almost embarrassingly consistent in his anti-Americanism ever since, and he had shown no indication of lefty sympathies before that.

Remember that many 60s lefties were quite young and they could easily keep such a hold over Clark all these years.

It would be well worth doing. From his trip to Hanoi with John Fonda, to his chairmanship of ANSWER, to his defense of Saddam Hussein, Clark has been a priceless asset to the authoritarian left.

[tiamat]

LOL!

Well, I AM paranoid!

(And sleep deprived)

But i know it is for fun.

I'm just pinging a couple of guys who are good at this sort of thing.

Is it paranoia if they really are out to get you?

:-)

[Jet Jaguar]

CG,

This has your name written all over it.

[atomic conspiracy]

"John Fonda"

Freudian slip.

[tiamat]

Hey "Do Not Dub Me", if you are still awake, come over here.

This is fun and you would be good at it.

[Jet Jaguar]

Waves.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Oh, yeah, this is easy. The one that suggests a race of midgets (elves, leprechauns, fairies, or aliens, depending on the paradgimatic prefences of the adherent) once ruled the earth, possibly underground (Shaver mystery/Hollow earth theory), in the more unsober versions linking the "Gnomes of Zurich" and antediluvian occult mysteries of Atlantis to the JFK assassination.

Umberto Eco includes and alludes to some of the more sensationalist variations of the Agartha/Tibet missions of the Nazis in Foucault's Pendulum (which are also hinted at in the first Indiana Jones movie). There used to be some very wacky and highly amusing book The Hollow Earth. Make sure to get to the part detailing the subterranean civilization extending from West Virginia through Kentucky and Arkansas. If true, there may be an explanation for the high weirdness and strangeness of the Clinton presidency. [irony]

The JFK Assassination

The government didn't want to public believing in even a possibility of a conspiracy. The purpose of the Warren Report, in my opinion, was to pacify the public.

The official conclusion of a House Committee investigation years later was that the assassination was probably the result of a conspiracy.
