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

I am bullet-proof!

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.

[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

[MadIvan]

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

Regards, Ivan

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.

CG,

This has your name written all over it.

[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]

[preacher]

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.

[Dallas59]

You mean that I can't really read Liberal minds, watch them thru their computer monitor, fly black helicopters around their communes, experiment with their drinking water and food or actually send dangerous Republican Brain waves with that thingy machine I got in the mail from the White House? It's all just been a conspiracy?????

TWA Flight 800

That is suspicious as all hell

[floridarolf]

The assassination "attempt" on the pope actually was successful. He died in hospital and was secretly replaced by a Jewish lookalike.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Langly: "Yeah, UFOs cause the Gulf War syndrome. That's a good one."

Byers: "That's why we like you, Mulder. Your ideas are weirder than ours."

- The X-Files: "EBE"

Very fun conspiracy theory: the real, historic, campy 1953 "Men in Black" tale of 1950s ufologist Albert K. Bender. A hilarious version of this appeared in an episode of The X-Files. That show in itself has acquired some wild theories - that FBI, CIA, and NSA analysts wrote some of the scripts or suggested the thematic and plot content. In one version the series originates from private investigator surveillance tapes of a graduate student in Maryland dating the wife of a high-powered billionaire connected in some way with the Washington intelligence community. Great stuff.

[Wormwood]

I'll play:

1. All of human history began abruptly in 535 A.D, when a violent reality quake split the world into two realities (Reality A and B). All of history we *believe* occured before the 6th century is a lie---a fiction injected into our collective unconscious to keep us sane after the reality-shift.
Prior to the irruption, humans were a cattle to the powerful and enigmatic Annunaki, who are currently trapped in a torpid state. Their awakening will trigger a reunification of the divergent realities, ending human history and plunging humanity into an eternal Hell of being food for the Gods.

2. Oh, the whole Kennedty thing. That seems fishy to me.

[eclectic]

Art Bell and George Noori are the same guy - they never do shows at the same time!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Certainly in upper tier of the top ten current howlers is the theory that Dan Brown knows what happened in the sex life and dating patterns of Jesus of Nazareth.

[NicknamedBob]

Social Security.

Ponzi has to now explain his money-making scheme by saying it works like Social Security.

The President would get a lot more traction in his presentations if he would say that all he wants to do is take the money that is now being pilfered from the till, and actually get it invested in something with a return.

Democrats are opposed to fiscal prudence in Social Security because it would keep them from stealing from the "lockbox".

[Allegra]

I haven't had access to Art Bell's show with all of those delightfully fun loonies for a while, so I'm rusty on conspiracy theories.

Reading some of the ones on here is a stitch, though.

[Allegra]

Nobody has brought up chem trails?

I thought that would be on here by now...
