Do you subscribe to any weird conspiracy theories?
I was bored yesterday and I came across some stuff about the Bohemian Grove (I'm not sure they're all together evil, just weird), then started reading about MK Ultra, the Georgia Guidestones (and the Rosicrusian Order), and numerous other theories.
These theories vary all the way from the world is conspiring against Christians (one of the few that I believe is true) to the Bush family are satanists and conspired to not only allow 9/11 to happen but orchestrated it to happen. My question is do you guys believe any "non-mainstream" theories regarding the world, politics, the devil and other topics?

 The only theory I've heard that sounds really convincing is the Skull and Bones one. I'm not sure if it is mainstream, but it is somewhat well-known.

If you like conspiracy theories, read the book 'Foucault's Pendulum' by Umberto Eco. It's a novel about a guy who gets caught up in this stuff.

I was born at the same time as the Roswell incident. Even my family has theories about that and me.

The landing on the moon...
I'm not 100% that it happened when it did. After reading some of those conspiracy theories, it got me thinking. Who taped Neil Armstrong and his first steps, why is the flag waving?, where is the crater/indentation from the landing?, why haven't we ever been back. Something about the moon landing seemed artificial to me when I first saw it. Everything was too picture perfect. Hehe, I'm nuts. |

Hmmmm...I find the Illuminati ones to be entertaining, but I don't buy into them all out, really.
I guess I don't really buy into the really whack-job ones...though I do like to pretend every now and then that some of the alien ones are true. Kinda like the Inca line drawings in Peru that only make sense from the air:  Aliens baby. Aliens.  (Oh, and jk....you're joking, right?)

The camera was on one of the legs of the lunar module, pointed sideways towards the ladder. The flag wasn't waving, it actually had a stiff wire along the top to hold it up, as the gravity of the moon would pull it down with no wind blowing. I don't understand why there would be a crater/indentation from the moon landing -- the module landed slowly with small jets retarding its rate of descent.
Why haven't we been back? Probably because there's no oil under the moon's surface (or is there?  ).Quote:

Hehe, yeah im messin. I read one of them conspiracy theories on the moon and then wikipedia'd it. They had some explanations like the flag constantly flapping due to lack of friction thus the constant ripple effect and the wire that the flag was hanging from. But, I'll still say everything has that sorta fake contrived look to it.
How does it go, "Space may be the final frontier but its filmed in a Hollywood basement" But seriously, the pics do have a "cheese" factor to them which feeds the theories. http://content.answers.com/main/cont...drinFlag2.jpeg But, those conspiracy theories do have a way of making you think. Illuminati, ruling the world from the shadows...woot. I'm a card carrying member too. |

Catch 22
If you know you are a conspiracy theorist then your not.
