Way OT - Your favorite conspiracy theories
WD's mushroom induced alien life thread has me thinking about conspiracy theories.
Do you think the government is hiding the existance of aliens from us? Maybe that Oswald didn't act alone? What's your favorite conspiracy theory?
I typically don't believe in them, since most people are stupid and it's hard for them to keep secrets, even at the point of a gun.
However, part of me thinks that Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked (the British knew for sure as they had already cracked the Japanese naval codes). Although, if he knew an attack was going to happen, why leave the battleships there? Surely the country would have been just as outraged if some destroyers, cruisers, and other smaller ships were sunk instead.

to judge?
And he uses which ever restroom he chooses.
Got one here, and now I know how he get's his pictures of coeds.
I agree with the thought that most people are stupid and can't keep secrets. So unless everyone who knows is dead, I put 0 stock in conspiracy theories.
You just say that because you're a reptilian agent. I see you and your chemtrails. I know what you're doing. ROTHSCHILD!!!
The NBA is scripted.
is available.
More than Holocaust deniers?
That's a whole different kind of stupid. They have their own section.
Meh, I don't think stupid is really the answer there. People who deny the holocaust have a whole different motive.
Private companies have been engaged in climate modification programs for years and spraying seeding the skies has been acknowledged on several occasions. Tests for solar reflecting particulates is a fact and several patents exist. testing has been widespread for a number of years and this is at the foundation of the chemtrail phenomenon. Check it out!

I believe that WD has over a dozen aliases on MGoBlog
Who doesn't!!
- JFK was killed by a mob hit
- 1985 NBA draft - rigged
- Kurt Cobain was murdered
- "New Coke" was a total ploy
to keep "new coke" long term. It was just to get some excitement and headlines for Coke Classic.
New Coke was a ploy to occupy retail space. Once "Classic Coke" returned New Coke also persisted on the shelves for a while - Coke's cola products now had nearly twice the retail space frontage that they had before introducing New Coke. That space came at the expense of Coke's competitors.
People love to deride that as a terrible marketing decision by Coke, but net-net it seemed to work for them in the short term and long run. Including, as you note, generating a lot of buzz about a product that was previously just part of the fabric of consumer society.
I think what the other poster said is the more interesting consipracy theory. Coke wanted to switch from sugar to corn syrup, which would change the taste of Coke. To cover up the taste change, they came out with new Coke. Everyone hated it, and months later they brought back the Original Coke with the change from Sugar. The timing allowed people to forget what the original coke tasted like, and allowing them to make the switch.
That's quite brilliant. Also, it was 88 days.
Coke is still made with sugar in Mexico and it tastes completely different than US made HFCS Coke. You can get it in the US now for about $1 per glass bottle.
You can also get Coke made with sugar at Passover. Corn syrup is "chametz" so they sell the good stuff marketed as Kosher for Passover!
Thanks for the heads-up.
There's a lot of sketchy shit surrounding Kurt Cobain's death. How much of it is legit is another question...
I do believe David Stern was intentionally trying to pick the NY Knicks envelope for the first NBA lottery, with Patrick Ewing as the prize to the winner. Maybe I just want to believe it, but if you look at Stern's eyes as he is flipping envelopes, and he pulls the one out with the obviously bent corner... cmon man.
And, as a lifelong Cubs fan... the billygoat curse is real.
the story I remember was that the Knicks envelope was put in a freezer before the drawing, so it could be picked out of a pile of identical envelopes.
The idea that Oswald acted alone is the real "conspiracy" theory.
My favorite is either Chemtrails or the idea that we have made contact with aliens but world Governments are keeping it a secret because society would collapse for... reasons.
I am a firm believer in Hanlon's law, so I don't know if there are any I firmly believe... wait, no, NBA draft has been regularly fixed. That's the one I believe.
There's the other one.
is fake
I've heard some out there shit before, but this takes the cake.
It's true!!! I've read it on the internet
It's real to me!
