Conspiracies How Many Do You Believe?

They also said that of the 1000 active cases, only one-third were fully vaccinated, i.e. two doses. The other two-thirds were either unvaccinated or had only had one dose. I guess this just goes to show that we need a higher proportion of the population than 60% to be vaccinated.

Also I don't believe anyone has ever claimed that vaccination would make us completely immune to the virus. Here at least, they are talking about the vaccination saving lives, and maybe making people less contagious if they don't get as sick with it.

The point was that this was a conspiracy worth following, not that it was entirely true. It appears there are some things to be learned here.
 

There will always be gullible people in this world who believe all these theories. i can string together any series of events in my life:
I was at the York Minster (Cathedral) in York England just before it was hit by lightning
I was in Yemen just before the militants blew up the USS Cole
I was in Karnak Egypt just before the militants shot up the temple of Queen Hastepsut
I flew on TWA flight 700 a week before it blew up
I had a list of small aircraft that were damaged or crashed after I flew them.
These are ALL nothing but coincidences.

I remember the derision that was heaped on people who suggested there might be such such a thing as the Bilderbergs. Most of that derision was done by a combination of truly stupid people and paid propagandists wanting to stop the spread of the idea. Another, less sinister (perhaps) group initially touted by some as being nothing more than a conspiracy was the Bohemian Club, which turned out to be very real.

Never heard of the Bohemian Club ...will read up on that! I'm envisioning lots of macrame curtains figuring in the decor. 🙃

Ohmgosh. That's not a good list! Maybe you have bad mojo and just don't know it lol!
 
The only conspiracy I know to be an undeniable true account of the decades old Woodchuck Mystery has been posted on the internet at 12:34:56 AM GMT on 04/01/2021 and every clear thinking dope and alcohol free mythbuster knows full well the Internet don't lie.

However If a lie is told often enough even the propagandist will believe it.

Here's proof:

See how these things eventually work themselves out?

Thanks for believing me, lol.
 
On a more serious note, it has been noted that the lack of transparency and honesty from government entities adds fuel to, if not kindles, fires of conspiracy. A lot of people do not trust the government and/or the government does not earn the trust of the electorate. It can also be said that many of today's truths are yesterday's conspiracies. Be fast to think and slow to judge.

Bingo! I'm one of them, so is my husband, and anyone being honest with themselves will think the same.
 
The cattle mutilations of the 80"S-never resolved, but was felt to be govt involved in bio warfare.
Interesting that it disappeared, as far as we know-govt just got more sophisticated???
Oh, those rascals in black 😎
 
How about the audio attacks being perpetrated round about. They started in Cuba and have gained in numbers. Riddle me that, Batman.
 
It seems as though conspiracy theories aren't confined to recent times. Here's a link to some historical ones that have gone unanswered. Some of these go pretty far back. 8 Historical Conspiracy Theories from Mental Floss

Everything is a lie. That statement is true.
 
Lewis and Clark: p0st 89
I've always felt Meriwether Lewis had a lot of help in his 'Suicide'...
He was killed on the Natchez Trace, the most dangerous trail (outlaws, killers...) in America for several decades.

not into conspiracy theories, but a movie from 70's... "Executive Action". only saw it that one time, but remember how the premise behind the JFK assassination just made perfect sense as presented.

Is that the movie that came out around '77 that didn't use vintage footage of street scenes, and to exemplify that point, there was some action in a parking garage or parking lot ( I don't remember which) where the runner runs pas a brand new Ford van. Point being when it's a close in shot wouldn't you think they'd rent car that was in existence at the time?

premise... JFK would serve 8 years. then bobby would serve 8. finally teddy would serve 8 years. almost a quarter of a century of kennedys. feasible premise, i'd say. groups of powerful business men (maybe texas oil men... can't remember specifics) decided jfk hadda go.
 
I generally am not much for conspiracy theories, and there are so many of them around these days. I do think, however, that the government knows more about UFOs and aliens than they are sharing with the public, and that we are not alone in the universe. Hopefully the upcoming federal report, if not providing answers, will leave some doors open...

Occam's Razor would suggest it was the mob that old Joe Kennedy enlisted to help his kid get elected president. If that's not to anyone's conspiratorial liking, there's always all those women, including mob girls and spies that JFK was jumping into bed with.

The conspiracy theories that make me roll my eyes hardest are the ones saying the royals were behind Princess Diana's death. Thousands of people die in car crashes every year and no one questions it. If the driver was drunk and speeding on wet streets and the passenger wasn't wearing her seat belt we would think a fatal wreck was almost inevitable. Besides. If the Crown wanted Diana gone they would have done something before she aired all their dirty laundry and divorced the prince, not after.
 
Conspiracy Theories sell book, dramatic documentaries...keep the conspiracy theories rolling, there a money maker.
