To the mods: If you think this thread would be better placed in the "Just Chat" section, feel free to move it. But hey... it will hopefully make up a new theory.

So what do we need for a conspiracy theory (CT)... I allways think no CT is complete without a deity or alien or a combination of both.

The Grand Canyon really is the landing mark of a huge alien spacecraft, the remains of the spacecraft are hidden in the Bermuda Triangle and are the cause of all those vessels and aircrafts disapearing. The aliens live in a large base under Roswell/Area 52. Oh yeah and those aliens have infiltrated the universities, that's why scientists tell those lies about the formation of the Grand Canyon.

So what are those aliens up to next, what did they do? Where they responsible for 9/11 too? Come on fellow Conspiraty Theorists, help me out here!

OK...where's the jetliner debris?

[Chemistry4me]

Jeez, I hate conspiracy theories. Is that a CT too?  []

[MonikaS (OP)]

Yeah! The aliens must have done the damage to the Pentagon!

[MonikaS (OP)]

Jeez, I hate conspiracy theories. Is that a CT too?  []

The proper CT response to that is: Ooooooh but you don't have an open mind! Or the aliens make you hate CTs.



Now guess why I've started this thread...  []

Surely the greatest conspiracy theory would be that all the other conspiracy theories are actually fed to us by aliens in order for them to distract us from what they're really doing - maybe stealing all our bees?

WOW you finaly solved the problem of the bees dying all over the world. The aliens are collecting the life energy! Perhaps little tin foil hats for the bees will help! Big Pharma will of course deny all this, because they are under the thumb of the aliens. It's obvious why the US suffers more from colony colapse, the aliens are living under Roswell after all.

It would have had to have been removed by the NTSB before work on clearing the building damage could be started.

I think that organised religion beat us to the goal of the best conspiracy theory ever. (For the traditonal interpretation of the word "theory" in this case.

Ooops! I think you're right.

I have allways wanted to found a religion, must be like a license to print money.

One of the most nonsensical conspiracy theories that some gullible people still believe is the official conspiracy theory of what happened on 9/11, although when presented with the evidence that this version cannot be true, most, apart from the terminally gullible, do realise they were taken for fools.

This outlandish conspiracy theory has skinny Arabs successfully taking over 4 cockpits armed with nothing more than boxcutters..

It has Hani Honjour who has never flown a jet aircraft previously performing maneuvers most experienced pilots couldn't perform to hit the low lying Pentagon, all the while eluding the 80-odd cameras on that side of the building..

It has the twin towers collapsing though themselves at near freefall speed supposedly just from isolated damage and fire high up, displaying characteristics of controlled demolition all the way down such as rapid onset, mid-air pulverisation of the concrete, demolition "squibs", lateral ejections of multi-ton steel... Really you only need a pair of eyes to see these buildings didn't naturally collapse, they were blown to smithereens.



This official conspiracy theory has a third highrise (WTC7)falling in the exact same manner as a classic implosion supposedly as a result of fire, fortunately, upon seeing this collapse most people realise they've been conned because they cannot recognise WTC7s collapse as anything other than a controlled demolition, therefore they slowly-but-surely realise the whole official conspiracy theory is a hoax.

Here is a short vid of WTC 7s demolition on 9/11:

L_D,

it is upsetting to see some brilliant minds unable to digest any other information outside of their parameters. These people are being boxed in their own world by books, theories and todays' education system with clearly defined black letters on white pages. No place for gray...

"Really you only need a pair of eyes to see these buildings didn't naturally collapse, they were blown to smithereens."
Nearly right, actually, if you watch the video closely you will see that they were
HIT BY A BLOODY GREAT JET PLANE

There's really not a lot of debate about that; there are plenty of witnesses.

Re.
"therefore they slowly-but-surely realise the whole official conspiracy theory is a hoax."
Dream on.
No conspiracy or hoax is needed here. If you have people who are prepared to die and they come up with a strategy nobody has tried before, they just need to be a bit jucky to succeed.

I've always been a great *fan* of the moon landing conspiracies - they just crack me up!

Although...

Did you ever wonder how they did those shots from the moon where the lander launches back to orbit and the camera on the moon's surface tracks the accent! Doo doo, doo doo! [twilight zone music]

[Naufal the B. S.]

X-ray -> jinn = alien!

[LeeE]

I think that conspiracies do occur, because they have clearly occurred in the past.  However, I don't think they're anywhere as common as some people seem to think.  I'm reminded of a comment made by Sir Bernard Ingham, ex-PM Marget Thatcher's press secretary: "Many journalists have fallen for the conspiracy theory of government. I do assure you that they would produce more accurate work if they adhered to the cock-up theory."

He wasn't the first to express that sentiment, but it was probably the first time I ever believed something he'd said.

[Ethos]

The ultimate conspiracy theory:

The internet is alive and planning a take over of all our minds. Soon we'll all be addicted to the games and music videos. As soon as we become completely dependent upon our daily fix, it will infiltrate our personalities completely and control the whole world. The internet is alive with artificial intelligence and it is watching, waiting, and listening to our every thought and move.

Ofcourse this is absurd and can't be true,...........can it???

[MonikaS (OP)]

Ohhh wonderful Ethos! You're definitely onto something.
Do you think it's behind 911 and the moon landings too? It must be, because it has the power to alter its content!

[Ethos]

Clearing my throat; gruuuraaaahhh...............Absolutely MonikaS. In fact, if I can be allowed to manipulate the meaning of the word a tad, the FACT is, every other conspiracy out there is already being controlled by the internet. Go figure??

Ohhhhh my Gosh, I just realized; It now knows that I'm on to it. Maybe I should say my goodby's already, I'm sure it's planning my demise as we speak...............Yeahhhhh,,,,right!

CTs
1. Cell phones are programmed to come alive and kill people on 1/1/2010
2. AIDS is being spread through condoms
3. Evolution is made up

An important element of all conspiracy theories is that it has to be compelling to a small group of people that are dedicated followers. You need a Bob Jones or two and people willing to drink the cyanide. Any ideas that become mainstream lose their fascination.

A conspiracy theory needs to begin with a target that is large, i.e. government, industry, or religion. Then you make a claim against that group in which they are attempting to manipulate the bulk of the people like sheep. Finally, you have to 'release' secret information that exposes this nefarious plot.

So let's take cancer. Let's suppose that someone out there is causing cancers on purpose. I suggest it is the bottled water industry. The bottlers have a cartel in which they are administering low doses of carcinogenic materials that over time cause cancers. Or do they? Maybe we are part of an experiment to alter people to produce extra organs that can be removed and used for transplant purposes. Cancers are just a mistake in all of this tinkering with people.

So what I suggest is that a powerful and secret cartel of transplant doctors has created the bottled water industry to disseminate organ growing drugs across the population to supply the transplant market for the wealthy.
