What is the best conspiracy theory you have heard lately?
400726
I don't know about the best, but I've heard a funny one.  To paraphrase, "a hacker has gained control of satellites and is beaming down mind control rays"...then the guy went on to post 'evidence' of this being true (like Bush writing his not asking if it was okay to use the restroom).  The sad part is, this guy was being serious.  See source link for his full description of what he thinks is happening.

As a Mason myslef, I know all about the conspiracy theories.  They are quite ridiculous, even funny, but I can understand why people come to those conclusions, since many people don't really understand what we are all about.  \n\nSince there are hundreds of conspiracy theories, I can't begin to address every one of them here, but I would be happy to answer any questions emailed to me.  For now I will only say that we are a group of men who are trying to do good in our lives and in the lives of others, and most of this work comes through charity.  How can a group that treats children all over the world with burns and bone issues FOR FREE, and gives over $2 million a day to charity be an evil group?\n\nFeel free to take me up on my offer to answer any questions you may have, and I'll do so honestly and openly.

As an individual and in my personal opinion. Yes it is a conspiracy.\n\nSince the public at large now has a means of sharing information and views it is becoming more and more difficult to con them.

I believe in the Illuminati!\n\nTrue story; I was at a flea market in Vegas when I was sharing my theory on welfare improvement. A complete stranger was listening and stopped me by handing me a small booklet. It was on the Illuminati. He said, "we will be in contact". Well...I read it..went home to Indiana and looked it up...then went to a living history re-enactment in Michigan where a complete stranger came up to me and asked for the booklet back! I had it with me so I turned it over to the person, scared out of my wits! This guy thanked me and told me to watch the news for my ideas about welfare. Sure enough, many of the welfare reform ideas were what I had mentioned!!!!!\n\nTheory or fact? You decide.

I think I'm a moderate Democrat, and no, I don't subscribe to the more outrageous conspiracy theories.  Two planes piloted by Arabs took down the WTC.  One plane crashed into the Pentagon, and another was crashed by the terrorists in Pennsylvania.  I still wonder where that anthrax came from.

Puddin', when an honest-to-god ET gets on CNN addressing the UN and says, "Hi, y'all!" then I'll believe it.\nUntil then, it's just speculation about fairies and goblins.

Why is it that anyone could believe any of the conspiracy theories out there? I get that people here aren't structural engineers, but let me give you an example...  Did you know that a bulletproof vest capable of stopping the largest pistol rounds you could stab a knife right through? That a fast moving small round like a 22 is more likely to penetrate than a slow moving big round like a 45? The science on the building failures & fire progression is excellent & very understandable. \n\nAs to some CIA conspiracy… you know most CIA employees are democrats? And even so, there is no way they’d allow an attack on Americans for political reasons. That’s insane! Not to mention what political gain came from the 9/11? If the President wanted to attack Bin Laden, there had been an attack on the USS Cole just months before he took office. Iraq you think? We justified that with WMD violations of UN sanctions, and the world didn’t follow us in there even with 9/11. We could have done the same thing if 9/11 had never occurred. \n\nYou can disagree with what the President has done since 9/11, but if you think he needed that horrific attack to justify the military action we’ve taken since then, you’re wrong. I also love how the same people that say Bush conducted this insanely complicated plot, are also the ones that say he is dumber than a rock. Wouldn’t he have to be an evil genius far smarter than any of us? There were theories back in WWII that FDR (a democrat) knew in advance & allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor so he could take us into the war, or more sinisterly so the military industrial complex could get rich putting Americans to work after a depression. That was stupid & insulting to the people who died then, just as these conspiracies are stupid now. As long as people continue to be so disconnected from reality they’ll continue to hand elections to conservatives.

EXCELLENT conspiracy theory. However, I think he completely lost his sanity plea when he jumped around on Oprah's couch like a goofy little maniac.  lol

You commented :Could a huge conspiracy like that, which would involve thousands of people, really be kept secret!?\n\nThis should be the biggest evidence AGAINST a conspiracy theory, at least as it applies to a missile or something similar, blowing up the Pentagon instead of the commercial airliner.  The Pentagon is close to several busy traffic routes; these roads were packed with commuters at the time of the crash. There were thousands of people in the office buildings nearby. All of these people became eyewitnesses and if there were any conspiracy, they'd ALL have to have been in on it.  How could it be possible to get every single one of those people to play along?  I just don't get it.\n\nPS--- I was one of the thousands of eyewitnesses and I watched the plane actually hit the Pentagon and even though I've told people my story, they still cling to these conspiracy theories... go figure.

Try a consiracy. Like the Jkf shooting. Or maybe Watergate. Watergate was very interesting. Basically The leading cadidate for president was so paranoid of the other cadidate he hired spys to well, spy. (to put frankly) Anyway the whole thing blew up after he was president. I'm not sure. History is so interesting.

I am not sure about a conspiracy, but I am sure there was a lot of incompentency just like we should have known on January, 1944 of the upcoming attack on Pearl Harbor almost a year in advance (December 1944)!  Check out the message posted on http://www.thesmokinggun.com
