Conspiracy Theories?

BigFoot was really a robot not Andre the giant....I saw it on the SMDM....lol

Well, there you have it. I'm convinced.

One can argue conspiracy just about anywhere, really.

Pick any catastrophe

People, I'm not trying to start up political pot-stirring

Is that what that BP empoyee was ranting about? I thought you were making a statement about the whole oil spill. I guess one need to read between the lines on that one. Please everyone I did not start this thread to have anyone make political statements and get it shut down.

I am postulating that there is likely just as much chance of a conspiracy between Big Oil and governments worldwide as there is with anything else mentioned here, John.

TxTeach is right and stated right from the beginning no politics.

Please, no bashing or rants on politics. Let this be an informative thread on conspiracy theories.

Come on Bryan this is not a thread about BP. You can post that elsewhere. Not cool man.

I can understand how the urgency and lack of communication just after 9/11 caused a lot of suspicion and panic that created the conspiracy theories - what I don't get is how an inside job conspiracy theory that would have involved millions of dollars and involved hundreds if not thousands of Americans - without a single whistle blower among them - is more plausible than terrorism.

Occam's Razor folks!

My tolerance for listening to crazy people is really limited.

Indeed! Tony Hayward, a brilliant man

but I will say that I personally believe there is life elsewhere in the known universe.

I believe in the theoretical possibility of other life in the universe. I don't buy into conspiracies or any of this alien abduction hysteria. I don't buy that intelligent life from a super advanced species would cross the infinite void of space and time just to give some redneck out in the boonies an anal probe. That's a load of hooey.

It's theoretically possible life is out there. That it is intelligent or even aware of us is something else entirely.

Great stuff here.

There was a 9/11 Debunking special on just last night on either NatGeo or History Channel. The conspiracy people were the Truthers and some kids who made a video called Loose Change. Every time something was explained not to be conspiracy they had a lame-*** answer which could not be tested or supported.

One famous claim is that the WTC was destroyed so the property could be developed to make more $$$. Really? All that valuable retail space should be burnt to the ground killing the people inside just to erect new buildings??? All the proposed new designs have even less space than the original WTC buildings had.

The best argument against secret demolition is the number of people it would take to prep the buildings and the amount of access they needed to beams which were covered up. To demolish any building you have to expose many key parts of it's structure to mount charges. You couldn't do that in secret. I worked in a sky scraper in Manhattan. They couldn't change a light bulb without disturbing at least 6 people at a time.

Good stuff.
A great site to check out is: abovetopsecret.com
And they usually cover a vast gambit of these topics on Coast to coast.

Anyone who believes in the 2012 doomsday theory is more than welcome to send me their Megos, by the way!

Zeitgeist - The Movie
educate yourself here. 9/11 and other stuff covered.

I didn't find that movie too convincing. It lacked almost any historical sources, contained tons of inaccuracies and contradicted itself throughout.

This site actually does a pretty good job of debunking most of that film:

Zeitgeist, the movie Debunked - Introduction - Zeitgeist Exposed - Conspiracy Science - Conspiracies and Myths Refuted, Debunked, and Explained

If you're interested in discussing it I can provide you with a few key arguments to discuss that I researched when good friend of mine became obsessed with this movie.
