Conspriacy Theories

[Birt]

Are there any Conspiracy theories that havent been dubunked and no one can explain?

[dot.hawkes]

Do you mean are there any conspiracy theories that have been proven to be false but noone knows why they were false? Or do you mean are there any conspiracy thgeories that were proven to be false but the actual event the theory was about is still unsolved?

I understood the question until I saw your answer, dot.

...but surely there's a conspiracy to cover up all the conspiracy plots that are actually true...

Mike has got it. One of the responsibilities of living in a democracy is to question what we are told. The response is to disparagingly refer to the questioners as 'conspiracy theorists'. When this is done, you can bet that some of the conspiracy theorists are on the right track. A good start is to go through the newspapers (as many as possible and from several countries) asking
Could this be true?
Is it likely that this is true?
What is more likely to have happened?
What would anyone gain from putting out a wrong version?
Why do some papers tell different stories?
Why do some stories change after the first editions?

To answer the original question, as I understand it. All aspects that cause someone to question events in the main conspiracy theories have been explained by reputable sources.

Without starting another debate, one on my favourites over the years is the moon landings. Now all the so called anomolies have been explained ad infinitum, yet there are people who choose to ignore the explanations and persist with the movie theory. In fact the conspiracy theorists hatch ever more complex ideas on how a partictular effect was acheived to the point where it would actually be easier to go to the moon! and hence debunk their own theory. For example we where told how NASA could have faked the moon rocks, and the BBC Horizon program decided to try and fake some moon rocks. At the end of the program they concluded that it would be easier to go to the moon to get them!

I've heard say that AB is all done by two people, as a full-time job. There are no individuals. I mean, if you try to register, it always fails, so you can't get on. All I've ever been able to do is read posts. And have you noticed that you never get certain combinations of posters at the same time? They always come consecutively and just far enough apart to be typed by the same person.

Looks like it's just me and you then Catso - so why'd you post this question, trying to lose me my job?

what about the conspiracy theories surrounding JFK's death? and Princess Di's death too for that matter.

[mibn2cweus]

A conspiracy theory entails an explanation intended to explain how the theory is a conspiracy and is debunked by explaining why the explanation proposed by the theory is a conspiracy.

it's the old paradox - the fact that there is no evidencs for a particular conspiracy theory proves that the evidence has been suppressed

The latest conspiracy theory in the states is the US government planted explosives in the 9/11 building, detonated them and brought them down. Some academics have web site on this.
