conspiracy theory

Inspired by this comment elsewhere: I understand that "conspiracy theories" is a vaguely recognizable genre in written communication. One that would be nice to label with warning signs and put where it rightfully belongs -- the trashbin, that is. However, I don't feel comfortable with the...

Is there a conspiracy to indoctrinate gullible people with CTs so that the rest of us can get along with enjoying our lives? :) Think about it. ;) Normal people can live happily and freely while stupid people live in fear and paranoia believing nothing except what they read on crappy websites...

A guy at work has started bringing in a book entitled 'Mystery 666', it looks fairly old and battered and appears to have been self or vanity published. No author is given but the cover features the 'eye in the pyramid' of the US dollar bill inside a red 'swirl' pattern. A short note on the...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Nightmares Quote: "The Power of Nightmares has been described as "conspiracy theory", anti-American or both." I have not seen this yet. If anyone has please let me know what you think. Thank you.

So, you all think David Icke is crazy when he says that many prominent members of our society are actually lizards. Consider the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. As you know, Kant proposed the radical idea that the human mind is not a passive recipient of sensory data, but actively constructs a...

Hi! I'm new here, and this is my first post, so please bear with me, and if I do anything wrong or if it might be better to do something a different way, please let me know! I've been trying to figure something out, but am not having much luck. I did try to search this site to make sure the...

As theorized by a nutjob on in the comment box on a youtube video of flight 11's crash footage. Apprarently Guliani was in on this too so he can run for presidency right now in 2008, 7 years later. fanbutton (12 hours ago) "What is this suppose to mean?" I replied : RedeemedChef (3 minutes...

How many times have we heard those words, followed immediately by a wackadoodle conspiracy theory? And: Cui bono, the favorite Latin phrase of conspiracy nutbars everywhere.

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070925/D8RS6TN80.html Now we all know Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust Denier... But now he's trying to win over that 4.6 percenter Alex Jones crew.

There's an interesting entry to Digg today, which is currently the most popular story over there. It's a poll that wants the get the opinions of Digg users based on a variety of topics. There's a question on 9/11 there, which asks the question: "5. Who committed the attacks on 9/11?"...

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21994224-2,00.html More fuel to the fire. Should be interesting.

Every conspiracy has one. The 'smoking gun', the part that makes the CTers feel seperate from the conformers. I will narrow this down to what is arguably the most popular conspiracy theories in history. Moon JFK 9/11 And the most popular 'parts' #Moon- "Waving Flag" #Moon- Sibrels' "port...

I saw a very interesting conspiracy theory on YouTube entitled Monopoly Men. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0ZZ6_9RmTM&NR=1 This is a 5 part video, approx. 45 minutes long. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Should this be taken seriously?

Someone has created an excellent 9/11 CT spoof site based on the fuel tanker accident and fire that collapsed a key highway overpass in Oakland last month. Could Arnold be involved in a disinformation campaign to throw the Truthers of the scent?

I thought this was a pretty refreshing conspiracy theory: Full article here: http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2007/04/21/wmd_conspiracy/index.html

Is he full of it or not? I've read it, well tried too, but did not come away any smarter. What do YOU think? http://www.economichitman.com/

The feared New World Order. Many conspiracy theorists repeat NWO over and over again. They believe this secret group is behind every major event in the world and wants to control us all. But what proof does anybody have of it's existence? How does it operate? How could it possibly have control...

great, now the conspira-droids are using this as proof that CHO SEUNG HUI was under mind control to comitt the shootings on VT: MK ULTRA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MK_ULTRA And the articel from Prsion Planet about his Mind Control...

Hi there. I am sure there is a lot of conspiracy theories about 7/7, and perhaps you can inform me, But a lot has been made of this dude sitting next to Abu Hamza.. being part of British MI6/5 intelligence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haroon_Rashid_Aswat Now, given that this is from...

Seriously. I don't care which side of the "aisle" you're on, enough with using the phrase "debunk this" or anything similar. It is promoting confirmation bias in testing and investigation from the very beginning of whatever thread it titles. For the debunkers, you know all you need to do is...

The title of this forum, lead me to think that this area might be more about debunking conspiracy theories than actually discussing the possibility that some of them may indeed hold water. I am not a conspiracy theorist. However, I am no more likely to believe my Government than I am likely to...

Jeeeeeeezzzzz! Freaking kook nutcases http://freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=50292&Disp=119#C119

Great article and insight...very quotable, as well... http://www.ejectejecteject.com/archives/000140.html

I would consider this on-topic, considering it's a bunch of religious nutjobs who think there is an Athiest conspriacy but it is ready to collapse. Watch it. The first few minutes are a hoot! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=516030973829223853

Not to be missed http://www.bofunk.com/video/4816/conspiracy_week.html

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet or not- but I felt the need to share it. When people have to respond to conspiracists misquoting them it's quite hilarious. This witness completely contradicts the claims of "The PentaCon" ycPUDktZpCU

I'm not sure if this has been brought up here before, but I'll post anyways. As most of us know, in 2004, Nick Berg was beheaded in Iraq. It is believed by most that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi personally beheaded Berg. However, like most shocking events (JFK, 9/11 etc.), there is a conspiracy theory...

Yet another Troother site.... Sheesh!! http://maddox.xmission.com/
