Conspiricy Theories

[banker_frank]

What makes people believe absurd conspiracy theories? What is the most unbelievable or believable theory you have heard?

Angela Merkel is Hitler's love child.

It's human nature to question.

Why don't people believe conspiracy theorists?

[Peter Pedant]

"Common Sense?"

LOL ok. How about, look at some of the conspiracy theory's in the past that came true, and how people treated those at the time.

2005 Tavistock Sq didnt occur
You see there is a mysterious white car behind the (filleted) bus !
look ! another photo and it is STILL there !

it is a white van, directly behind it and smacks into it when the bus explodes and stops.

no no noone knows what it is doing there and it shows tavistock sq didnt occur - excuse me what did you just say ?

ditto for the Two red heads who are in two places at the same time!
four red heads then
no no - 2 x 2 and it shows the photos are faked !

[Peter Pedant]

[banker_frank]

PP are you a believer or non believer?

"Tell me what they are and I'll look."

government poisoned booze (more) during prohibition is a big one to ook into. Booze always had chemicals in it, but the american gov pushed manufacturers to use stronger poisons to try to stop people making moonshine.

why would the gov do that

MK-Ultra.

Dali Lama and the CIA pay check

Big tobacco knew cigarettes harm

Government surveillance over new tech

Just a few! I think MK-Ultra is the best example.

The Royal Family as a race on Intergalactic Lizards is especially bizarre.

[spathiphyllum]

I've just always been one to question things. Why should i just beleive someone? People lie you know. People cover things up. So why wouldn't elitists? And what they cover up would surely be more impact and important than any regular person.

It's more dangerous to not question, than to question.

[Zacs-Master]

Surely Holocaust deniers has to be the most absurd (and abhorrent)?

[fiction-factory]

Is it any more absurd than the flat earth theory though, Zacs?

[banker_frank]

Everyone should question everything. That is my Motto. Without Questions there would be no answers.........
