I only believe in one. The Moon landing being fake. Seeing enough proof and evidence on the internet, they say it was all done in a studio set. But you never know. They could be watching this forum right...........now. 8O

The sick thing is that the landing was real, but the pictures were made in a studio to look better for the TV audience.

I believe that anything that is believed, is true for the believer. Do you believe me?

The bullets fired from Sirhan's gun were not the same bullets that struck Robert Kennedy. It's a big thing to say but it's based on facts of the case that don't support the LAPD conclusions. It's not some crack-pot wild speculation at all, I'm always sceptical of conspiracy theories that are based on speculation more then facts. The LAPD investigation and trial were that incompetent and disgraceful that they made Dallas look good. I have found it a truly fascinating subject to research.

But I could have it all wrong, now where's that pot to crack.

They actually landed on the moon, but to make it look better for the TV audience, Hollywood made fake landing sequences in a studio. Stanley Kubrick is supposed to have been involved.

Well, the bullet that was supposed to have hit his brother J.F. should have hit him in the neck. In that case his face have been blown away. As anybody knows, who have seen the pictures, it was the president's backhead that had a big, ugly extrusion hole in it. Ergo, he was shot in the face. But where was the intrusion hole for that bullet? There was none to be seen...

Heres a NWO theory that may surprise some of you - Michael Moore is a NWO 'shill' His Fahrenheit 9-11 film wasnt an expose, it was a whitewash which completely ignored most of the real questions.

Instead of saying (as any honest reporter would) 'theres considerable reason to suspect 9-11 was very possibly planned by the NWO, Bushs puppet administration willfully let this happen. Theyve got loads more planned for you and btw his cousin John isnt going to save you either'

The message was more like 'Dubyas an idiot and his incompetance let this happen, vote democrat and this will never happen again'

I fell for it the first time around, but i always had this quiet amazement that the USG would allow such a damaging film to be released, whilst simultaneously advancing towards a police state with increasingly draconian legislation. Now i see they probably had no reason to want to block this film, because its message suits their agenda perfectly.

I think conspiracy theories are fascinating, but I only look at them as fiction. When I was a pre-teen, I used to read alien-abduction and crypto-zoology books. The thing that I like about them is the veneer of reality that they have. I enjoy really good horror films, but too often they veer into the cheesey and ridiculous. The most horrific story is that our world is secretly controlled by evil forces, and we are totally unaware of it, in a daze. The more clues we have that this is the case, the scarier the story.

I love hearing about conspiricy theories....particularly political because I have a natural abhorhance to governments....I dont do alot of research because I dont trust my own ability to sort through the information objectivly and logically...I am just to biased....I think most rich people are "evil",and
have a distrust of them...its class warfare to me...I think everything that has happened since the European revolution has been an attempt ofmost of the "ruling" classes to return to their original power.
Every thing that people in America fought for to create and egalitarian society...unions,social programs,
racial equality,personal freedoms,ecological responsability...are all being destroyed to create a "dumbed down" society of wage slaves with rampont appitites for material goods...the rich get richer as the middle class disappears...I amy have read to many anti-utopia books.Brave New World...The Wanting Seed...1984...Essays by Swift....but I think the current administration in US is not just greedy but EVIL...they scare the heck out of me....I believe they evolved from "slestacks"...EVIL....

I just think conspiracy theories are amusing, but not really something I believe.

My favorite theories:
Freemasons
UFO coverup
JFK assassination

My favourite conspiracy theory is the theory that the world championship in Stockholm year 1958 never happened. The most fun thing is that there are actually people believing that.

Otherwise, David Icke, as well as the hollow earth nazi theorists always make me cheer up.

Oh ok. I believe otherwise that's why I put "what". I think they did the whole thing in a studio set. This is what I believe.

I'm somewhat of a Conspiracy Theory fan.


I'm pretty skeptical about most of them mind you.

For instance. I believe the Moon landing could have been faked, but that it almost certainly wasn't. (They left a mirror up there, so they can bounce lasers off it to measure the distance. Granted that could be a lie too, but it seems like faking the moon landing and keeping it under wraps would be harder than actually landing on the moon)
