Topic: The most intriguing conspiracy theory Posted: November 14 2011 at 05:15 |
So many conspiracies going around but which one interests you the most? and do you think any of these theories are really true?
I have done quite a bit of research into these - if you want to know more google each one and you will be surprised.

The Gemstone File
Look it up
Pretty much the grand daddy of all conspiracy theories. I can't even begin to explain it...
Also, another one once that always tickled my fancy: The Illuminati planned what we would now call WW3 (a global war with massive theaters) back in the late 1800s to eliminate the world's 3 major religions. All the worlds leaders have thus taken planned steps, manipulating us all, to bring us to that point.
Ah internet, where you can easily find all this good stuff :D

Being interested in subliminal advertising I had to vote for that. Though these are some great, interesting conspiracies.

Probably a five way tie between Big pharma, UFOs, JFK, 9/11, and subliminal. The rest are just dumb.

From the list; 9/11.
Although I'm not convinced by all the CT's relating to it, you have to go on an extraordinary journey and departure from reality and reason, to accept the offial account as it was presented to us, imo.
Also, the Georgia Guidestones anyone? I find them quite intriguing. I'd love to meet the man who decreed that humanity needs to be maintained at less than 500,000,000 "in balance with nature" I'm curious as to how he thinks this can be achieved.

The alien/UFO thing, assuming it also includes the theories of Erich von Däniken.

For me I can entertain the notion that 9/11 was a conspiracy based on how the Bush administration was floundering and then brazenly used it for political gain. But I think it more likely just an act of incompetence by an administration hell bent on undoing everything from the Clinton administration that there wasn't any continuity of the anti-terrorist pursuits of that administration.

I think all conspiracy theories adequately demonstrate that you can make this stuff up.

Oh come on, every rational person knows the Illuminati is real and is run by George Soros.

Then here's to the Illuminati.

So, you're saying it's possible that the 93 Trade Center bombing was the result of an imcompetent administration hell bent on undoing everything from the first Bush administration? Of course, Clinton would never have gone to war for political reasons *cough* Kosovo *cough cough*. Being fractionally less sh*tty than the guy who follows you doesn't mean you were good at your job.
I am sick of 9/11 conspiracists. The attacks were not perpetrated by our goverrnment directly but indirectly, through decades of atrocious foreign policy, by administrations from both parties.
The option of "aliens and UFOs" does that mean that they don't exist and that they have been made up? Because that would be a much better conspiracy than anything else here.
I did vote for "Marilyn Monroe was deliberately killed" for fun and because I think maybe, just maybe, the Kennedy's were involved.

Well subliminal ads is no theory but rather an unethical practice that has taken many forms from the blatant to the concealed, but hardly what I'd call a 'conspiracy'. The only thing on this list that has any evidential credibility - that is, evidence the initial claims of conspiracy in the event are real, not that there is a conspiracy to cover it up - is the Kennedy killing. In fact the case and its players are so bizarre, complex and obscured, that Oswald could have shot at the President alone and you still could have had a conspiracy. It remains the biggest mystery of the 20th century, IMO.

Oswald, and only Oswald, shot Kennedy. His motives are a mystery, yes.

We're in conspiracy land here. Anything is possible. Being fractionally less sh*tty means you were less sh*tty. Hey, let's weave all these things into one massive uber conspiracy. I'm thinking we'll need some chronological organization to it though to really fit the pieces together.

This may be true, but the empirical evidence suggests other possibilities-- if you go by the state evidence, that deemed as correct by officials involved in the investigation, than yes it was clearly Oswald alone.
