Do You Believe In Any Conspiracy Theory?

[wasi90lk]

Conspiracy theories are often incorrect, which is why I do not believe in any conspiracy theory. What about you? Do you believe in any?

 

[DrLeftover]

Yes.

I firmly believe this one is true.

What you drink can say a lot about you—for better or worse. It seems that, with astonishing frequency, murderers tend to be connected with Richard’s Wild Irish Rose wine.

Described as “the murderers’ national drink” by a Chicago homicide detective in the book What Cops Know, the detective notes, “Invariably, there’s a bottle of it somewhere in the crime scene.”

He goes on to say: “A lot of the murders we get are crimes of passion – but you hate to use the word ‘passion,’ because the idea of a crime of passion is the guy coming home and finding his wife in bed with another guy. In most of our murders, the passion is over who gets the last swig of Richard’s Wild Irish Rose wine… Literally, if you took Richard’s Wild Irish Rose wine off the market, you’d probably prevent half of all homicides.”

robert anton wilson pointed out that the mozarts and einsteins of the world are few and far between and that world shaping events are rarely the work of one person. it's also said that history is written by the winners and they tend to skew things to their own narrative.

many conspiracy theories have also been proven to be true, so it really is in our best interest to at least give an objective look at the evidence presented when somebody is challenging conventional wisdom about something.

25 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true

the public has been conditioned by the CIA since the kennedy assassination to reject conspiracy theories out of hand and today studies are showing that it's the debunkers who are the most irrational in debates about conspiracy theories.

new studies: 'conspiracy theorists sane;government dupes crazy, hostile

Who needs conspiracies when you have the media?

there's a pretty interesting history to that, including some actual research that demonstrated that they will block radio waves.

Or not:

In 2005, a group of MIT students, prodded by "a desire to play with some expensive equipment," tested the effectiveness of foil helmets at blocking various radio frequencies. Using two layers of Reynolds aluminum foil, they constructed three helmet designs, dubbed the Classical, the Fez, and the Centurion, and then looked at the strength of the transmissions between a radio-frequency signal generator and a receiver antenna placed on various parts of their subjects' bare and helmet-covered heads.

The helmets shielded their wearers from radio waves over most of the tested spectrum (YouTube user Mrfixitrick likewise demonstrates the blocking power of his foil toque against his wireless modem) but, surprisingly, amplified certain frequencies: those in the 2.6 Ghz ( allocated for mobile communications and broadcast satellites) and 1.2 Ghz (allocated for aeronautical radionavigation and space-to-Earth and space-to-space satellites) bands.

While the MIT guys' tongue-in-cheek conclusion -- "the current helmet craze is likely to have been propagated by the Government, possibly with the involvement of the FCC" -- maybe goes a few steps too far, their study at least shows that foil helmets fail at, and even counteract, their intended purpose. That, or the students are aliens who fabricated these results in an effort to get you to take your perfectly functional helmet off.

conspiracy theories and conspiracies are two different things. (;

if conspiracies have facts, truth and substance behind it then it's a legit conspiracy, however, with-in the conspiracy might have theories of what the details are.

Here's a brand new one:

Brazil presidential candidate Campos dies in plane crash

13 August 2014

The Brazilian presidential candidate Eduardo Campos, 49, has died in a plane crash, party members and local officials say.

Brazil's Vice President Michel Temer expressed his regret over the death of Mr Campos, who had been running third in the polls for October's election.

The plane carrying Mr Campos crashed in a residential area of the port city of Santos, in Brazil's Sao Paulo state.

It is not yet clear if any of the other passengers on board were killed.

there was a movie called 'remo williams' about an assassin who was trained to kill people in ways that made it look like an act of god, like a car wreck or plane crash, instead of an assassin.

the heads all think that the car crash that killed owsley in australia was a setup because they had finally got his LSD manufacturing protocols off him and didn't need to keep him alive anymore.

yesterday there was a report that three of pope francis' close kinfolk were killed in a car wreck in argentina and the OP's comments hinted at assassination.

many high profile performance artists have been killed in car and plane crashes. though they are certainly at higher risk because they travel so much, it would be no surprise to me to learn that some of them were assassinations.

Let me think...no. Let me repeat: hell no.

it's been proven over and over again that people had legit reasons for suspicion and had every right to believe in conspiracy for something or the other... and some "conspiracy theories" does and have became conspiracies, that had legit reasons, facts and truths to make it so and drop the "theory" of said conspiracy... concluding that conspiracies are real and as well as the legitimacy for putting forth theories if you just don't believe some crap that a fraud tells you...
