Your favorite Conspiracy Theory

[SuccessAndBiscuts]

There are a lot of interesting ones on the go but my favourite has to be the Nazi Moon base

Hollow moon theory

It's only about 60% hollow, and apparently mathematically it's not possible for it to exist.
It spins perfectly on it's axis, and supposedly no other planet is able to do this.
They all spin slightly eliptically on their gravitational field.
But, from the air density surrounding the moon as well as the position of the moon itself, from what I have read, it shouldn't physically be able to exist.
Take from that whatever you wish.
Also, right now I'd have to say my favourite conspiracy at the moment would have to be this one.
It's a transcript from an actual interview and it's very long. Only take a look if you're comfortable reading essays.

I love (but it also scares me) how almost half of Australia believe that global warming is a conspiracy. Do these people actually use the squishy white thing in their heads?

Actually, it depends on what you mean by "global warming". Much of the news you hear about it is pretty sensationalist and doesn't necessarily reflect all the legitimate theories and opinions. It's been a few years since I've bothered to read up on any of new stuff, I kind of stopped caring about it, but I'm pretty sure that there's no complete proof that global warming is humanity's direct fault. Did we have a part in it? Sure, fuck yes. Does it necessarily mean that we've had such a major impact? Not really.

Of course, global climate change certainly exists, there are cycles that are clearly visible in the past - warming > cooling > warming and so on.

Much of what people might see and hear in most conventional media might be somewhat on the sensationalist side. The worst thing that could happen would be the masses picking up misinterpreted/unfinished research and following it religiously while the scientists still argue and try to uncover the truth. But than again, it already happened in relation to a LOT of things like modified crops and so on. Meh.

There are no 'opinions/theories' among the vast majority of mainstream scientists, there are only facts and evidence which all points in the same direction. The only debate is the magnitude of the effects. Ironically, the actual effects we're feeling are following the worst-case scenario predicted by the scientists 10 years ago.

I heard one that the Boy Scouts are a backup army. If my troop becomes the last line of defense then were all dead.

Lord Baden-Powell sort of did found the Scouts to that end, as has been said before, but I thought I should point out that Scouting's origins are in the seige of Mafeking where young boys were used to run messages from command to troops.

My favorite conspiracy theories are pretty much anything where the Government has managed to keep a secret, or carry out a complicated scheme. Conspiracy theorists have such faith in their governments. I do not share their faith.

True, and we do learn survival skills, but times have changed since when scouting was founded over a hundred years ago.

See Heroes season 1. If super powers do exist in secret, I'm incredibly hopeful for the future.

The Moon Landings or possibly the grassy knoll

The cake. It's a lie

Well i have one mate who is convinced that all images of space that we see are fabricated by the government because, in reality, the universe is teeming with all kind of life. The government doesn't want you to know this.

I also love the South Park episode where it turns out that the 9/11 inside job thing conspiracy was created by the government itself so that they seem more powerful.

"Gravity is a CIA plot to keep us on the Earth" and "Countries are a little bit closer than you think. They're all in on it, map makers, airlines, goverments. You could walk from Manchester to Moscow in half an hour".

How can someone be this stupid. No, wait it's worse. How can multiple people be this stupid.

Sadly, I've heard of one worse than the CIA gravity plot.
There are people who believe seat belts are only means of the government to bind us to our seats while we're driving. This is to limit our freedom during our free time. People have tried to convince me of this, and refuse to believe that seat belts can actually save lives.

Conspiracy theories/theorists are just a conspiracy created by the government to distract us from all the things they REALLY are doing and to make themselves look good and sane by comparing themselves and their ideas to fictional whack jobs with even more ridiculous ideas.

The one about the Jews having worldwide control over nearly everything.

If that turns out to be true, I'll convert!

It's a mythical "old god" popularized by Lovecraft through some of his horror stories.

No, no it's not. Cthulhu (and virtually every other aspect of the Mythos including thing like the Necronomicon) were invented wholecloth by Lovecraft and the other weird fiction writers of the 1920's. Other than the occasional borrowing of a name (Dagon for example and even then it's devoid of context) none of his being have anything to do with any real world religious icons from now or any point in the pst. To say otherwise or to present them as possibly real is an insult to his imagination.

The One about the cake being a lie.

Right now, wondering if tv shows are real and/or the world being the matrix

The reason why Justin Beaver sings likes he's missing a nut is because the Jonas Brothers gang raped Katy Perry and gave her AIDS. And then Katy Perry had lesbian sex with Lady Gaga and gave her aids so she gave birth to Justin Beaver.
Cookies for the reference.

I have a stole South Park's theory that vampires actually evolved into gingers. Think about it, sensitivity for sunlight, a thirst for human blood, no soul.

Fixed.

I heard a strange one before that the Queen and all the British royal family are actually a pack of alien-lizardlike creatures donning human skin. Not sure what the justification was I just remembering it making me laugh

Remember that theory comes from a guy who went on a chat show to tell the world he was Jesus.

That the priory of scion kept all the secrets of the Catholic church despite the priory never existing, it was a fictional novel that somehow wound up in the hall of records in a library and many people believe they are like the Free Masons who also don't have much power... but at least they exist.
or that ex-football player who claims that every president ever is a shape-shifting lizard alien. He is very fun to listen to.

I don't ever recall south park saying vampires turned into gingers????

My flatmates brother came up with a conspiracy on a radio show a few years ago about the moon not being real. It was destroyed when Nazi's tried to take it over, and the FBi covered it up by replacing the moon with a large piece of black metal, and then had a projector shine the moon onto it from the top of a tall mountain. And when there is no moon in the sky, that means the projector is in the wrong place to find the black metal.

Of course the moon isn't real piccolo destroyed it. That's why the moon landing was faked and was actually done on Mars. It makes total sense.(as much as most theories anyway)

 

[cuddly_tomato]

I don't know where to start.

Ok, Royal Bloodlines, Mars, Tom Cruise, Star Wars, and the Black Pope is a classic...


But at the end of the day, the timecube [http://www.timecube.com/] is damn awesome.
