What is the strangest conspiracy theory that you have ever heard?

[Naeo]

Operation Northwoods. Real conspiracy- the CIA planned to attack U.S. civilians on U.S. soil during the Cuban Missle Crisis and blame it on Cuba so we had an excuse to go to war with them.

theres a car that runs on water, and the government is hiding it to make money from oil!

 

[Flushfacker]

There is a cure for HIV and it is large concentrated doses of money... Oh yea and a cure for the big C, but they wont give us that.

Does swine flu being dangerous count as a conspiracy?

 

[Unknower]

I loved the Iron Sky conspiracies.
It basically says that Hitler and part of the Nazi party high command fled to Antarctica.
Spaceships (called "Haunebu") that used antigravity technology based off The Bell experiments were launched from there, heading for the Dark Side of the Moon.
There, they established the Schwarze Sonne ("Black Sun") base to gather forces, and they will return when their time comes.

That's not a conspiracy theory, that's a movie!

JFK was assassinated by himself.

 

[DeAvatar]

That the Denver Colorado airport is actually a New World Order base with secret NWO signs everywhere.

well the fake moon landing conspirasy is I guess in some way a tiny little bit understandible but get this one; THERE IS NO MOON!! IT'S A WORLD WIDE CONSPIRASY!! THAT THING YOU SEE IN THE SKY IS A BIG SATILIGHT!!!!! YOU CAN'T PROVE THERE'S A MOON! SO THERE CAN'T BE ONE!!!!! this is real I'm not kidding, people believe this

 

[messy]

Swine fly was started by surgical mask companies (to boost sales) or started by George Bush (things going too well for Obama).
My personally favourite is the earth is flat and around the poles there are massive ice walls preventing people getting to them (i forget why people are not allowed there)

The US government wants Americans to get fat, so the fat can later be harvested so it can be burned as fuel, and America will have prime control over the worlds first successful renewable energy source! Fat!

WHY DOES THE MOON HAVE A FACE? I'M SCARED! IS THAT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU IF YOU MAKE A PLANET!

 

[sonicspin]

there are two brilliant music related insanities. First, there's the theory that Bob Marley was killed by the Government. He was given a special boot that injected Melanoma into his toe, which killed him. The other is that Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Rivers Cuomo from Weezer are the same person.

Speaking of celebrities being killed by the government, how about John Candy and Chris Farley, the last REALLY FAT and famous celebrities, killed by the government because they where harming America's image!

actually, i have a claim you cannot dispute at all: in a 2003 press conference, a NASA Public relations person (they don't like non-PR types talking to the media) admitted, and I quote, "we do not currently have the technology to send a spaceship safely to the moon and bring it back with its crew." so how could they have done it 30 years ago?
also, a reporter asked Buzz Aldrin to swear on a Bible that he had really gone to the moon, Buzz pucnhed him in the face instead. while I accept the possibility that buzz may not have been religious, couldn't he have simply suggested something else to swear upon, rather than knocking some teeth?

the safety standards 30 years ago were much more lax. Back then they didn't give a shit if he came back with cancer or something they just wanted to get his ass up there.

the other

1) How would you feel if people constantly asked you if the greatest achivement of your life was fake and wanted you to PROVE it. Every day. I would punch him in the face too.
2) Buzz Aldrin is pure testosterone and that guy is lucky Buzz didn't rip off the dude's naysaying arm and beat him to death with it.

 

[Phlopsy]

On the subject of Buzz, Imagine for a second, you went to the moon.. spent 2 weeks feeling sick to your stomach, pissing and shitting in gigantic condoms.. You come from a time when a man's word is his bond, you're an idealist and a patriot. Some little snot nose punk who hasn't done anything comes up to you, spits on your word, spits on your honor, insinuates that you're a liar and a fraud...

I might not punch the guy out, but I wouldn't want to answer the guys question with anything other then "fuck you, I fucking went to the moon you little snot nosed little punk".. Sure, it'd look suspicious, and if he had a PR agent, he probably got read the riot act for doing it, but if you sit in his shoes, you might see a reason why he might have done what he did.

Consider too, that reporters and very dumb people have been hounding him about this for going on 40 years now, and he's is incredibly tired of dealing with their crap. This specific reporter he slugged had been on Buzz's case and being extremely obnoxious to him for months, and then he runs up to him with a Bible and tries to humiliate him in public. Good for Buzz, the ol' geezer! That dude picked on an old guy long enough and the old guy finally punched him in the face, and the balance is returned to the Force.

There is a cure for HIV and it is large concentrated doses of money...

Wasn't that a South Park episode?

 

[Mr Fatherland]

My favourites are the people who believe the world is only a small piece of land and that when you go on a plane to other countries they are really just flying around in circles and landing in an airport a few miles away.

It was indeed, I was just throwing it in there. There are people who believe there is a cure being covered up anyway though due to there being no money in cures for anything but lots of money for long drawn out procedures that just hold off the disease.

 

[Disaster Button]

Probly the one where the British government was just a bunch of massive alien lizards in disguise...

One of the worst arguements that supported the moon landing being faked was that theres a cloud of radiation around the earth preventing rockets from escaping. I mean wtf?

 

[Grab-bag]

Best...the 2012 theory...It's a load of bull!!!!

The mayans didn't want to write a calender everyday!!!
