Because the weather sucks, I'm bored, and feel like stirring shit up, what are your favorite conspiracy theories? I generally like to make fun of them and don't believe 99% of them since I've seen the incompetence of the Federal Government first hand in a variety of areas, but I do think it's occasionally fun to go down the rabbit hole.
Mine is definitely the JFK assassination. Connections to the mob, the magic bullet, the grassy knoll, and the CIA at it's shadiest period in history.... compelling story if nothing else.
Mine was the 5G conspiracy in the UK

-9/11 being much deeper than it seems, Silverstein taking insurance policy out days before, WTC 7, tenants of WTC were interesting, pentagon had announced it had "misplaced" trillions of dollars on 9/10, trials being taken place behind closed doors; so many "coincidences" in a short span of time
-Vegas shooting, being related to something other than a "random maniac shooting people",
-Epstein and everything in relation to it
The Epstein conspiracy is only barely a conspiracy theory. The man undoubtedly had dirt on countless very powerful people and his death beggars the imagination.
Epstein was very obviously an Israeli intelligence asset as part of a blackmail operation on American elites.
Not enough people talk about how weird the Vegas shooting was. I wouldn't be surprised if that one were somehow meant to draw attention away from something else. The other two are also good ones, but the Vegas one stands out to me as being less widely spread.
Was blown away by how quickly this whole ordeal was swept under the rug/ignored by the media... I recall that about a week after the initial news surfaced, all coverage ceased.
Keep hearing about it being a botched hit on MBS as he was consolidating power all over Saudi Arabia, the old guard of royal sauds did not want him as CP or King. It has holes, but one of the few I'm willing to entertain.
I thought the 9/11 stuff was complete conspiracy bullshit with all the JEt FuEl CaNt MeLt StEeL bEaMs memes, but a family member who worked for the state department had me watch this and it... certainly changed how certain I felt about my old stance. Highly recommend anyone who's doubtful there wasn't foul play involved to watch it. They address quite literally every argument made that supports the "official" narrative with evidence and testimony from people involved at nearly all stages leading up to and after the event.
LMAO you would be a 9/11 truther.
Good lord.
I think Epstein is the easiest one. It appears extremely obvious despite the fact that there is virtually no evidence
Would not call Epstein a conspiracy theory....more like a conspiracy fact.
Epstein didn't kill himself....keep it going people.
Epstein goes deeper than even normies realize. He was very obviously an Israeli intelligence asset.
Even if he wasn't directly an Israeli asset himself, his pal Ghislaine Maxwell would've made sure that he acted out in their interests. Maxwell's father was a long-time Mossad spy.
Five years early
I completely agree. I can imagine how nervous Trump must be there.
Anything involving lizard people running the government.....so hilarious.....and so crazy how many people believe that crap.
Princess Dianna's assassination.
Witnesses reported seeing a bright flash before her car crashed.
Was reading up on an MI5(MI6?) agent that went AWOL, he had discussed the same tactics being used on Iranian nuclear scientists.
Kermit the Frog had some level of involvement in 9/11. Google it.
Pizzagate(not like favorite of what happened, but its interesting)
The influence of the Israeli lobby over the United States government causes a lot of disconnected conspiracy theories to suddenly make more sense.
Five years early
Alex Jones explains his grand conspiracy theory to Joe Rogan, and he basically sums up the plot to Neon Genesis Evangelion... and it's hilariously accurate.
I legit can't keep up with this. I get fascinated half way then it becomes so much stuff altogether that I have no idea what's going on anymore.
The ending of Neon Genesis was more or less the same... it will give you an existential crisis.
Reagan's October surprise. Though I'm not sure that even qualifies as a "conspiracy" anymore, more of a strong likelihood at this point.
I have a very, very liberal friend who is from a white trash redneck family in the deep south, and he is always sharing with me the Q conspiracy that his family is always forcing upon him. There is a vast satanic pedophile cabal and Trump is the secret leader of the resistance. I would say at this point he's one of the few true Q conspiracy experts and he posits that 5-6% of the population is a Q believer. I'm left speechless each time he communicates to me about his family's derangement.
There's a giant active volcano under Yellowstone in Wyoming, and if it erupts, it could wipe out the US. Conspiracists believe the government knows when the eruption will happen.
It's actually a fact. Publicly know one actually. Geologists working for the park are government employees and they can estimate when it'll erupt with confidence interval of couple thousand years or so.
Luckily it won't happen for another 700k years or so
Not my favorite conspiracy theory, but certainly one that makes me question its truth is...
Michael Jordan's Dad was butchered and stuffed into the trunk of his Cadillac by the Mob, this was in order to send a message to MJ. (He was known to have a serious gambling addiction)
In addition, MJ's first retirement was really a suspension (18 months exactly) by the NBA.
COVID-19
That'd be the biggest prank someone's ever pulled off if it was fake.
Fortunately (?), I know people who had it. So I know it's real.
This is not one conspiracy but I've always felt the NBA draft was a bit sketchy, with high picks often going to hometown teams or teams in distress. LeBron and D-Rose both went to their home teams, and the Pelicans have gotten bailed out by Zion and AD. I am probably missing a few examples. There's also the conspiracy that the 1985 draft lottery was rigged by the Knicks' envelope being frozen so it was easier to pick out, and thus the Knicks landed Patrick Ewing.
Listen to the Whistleblower podcast-- a bunch of good NBA conspiracy stuff in it
the existence of systemic racism in a country where every powerful institution (congress, the presidency, academia, K-12 education, traditional news media, social media, corporate America generally) is dominated by a quasi-religious belief in Critical Race Theory
Of course systemic racism exists.
And it's instituted by the very people who oppose it in the name of "Affirmative Action" and "protect Black Businesses" or whatever discriminatory BS they'll pull off in the name of "protecting minorities" and "racial equality".
You know what it sounds like is "White Men's Burden" that racist colonialism used to justify colonizing Africa. "Oh look at these poor Black people. We need to help them out by making them more civilized and putting them 'under our protection'". No they didn't need your "help" and the sure don't need your "help" now. Just fuck off and mind your business.
Yeah fight racism with more racism. In order to protect your freedom, we'll have to take away some of it. Classic politicians and dumb ass white libs. I wipe my ass with the new bills you pass Congress.
JFK or Kurt Cobain
kurt def didnt kill himself. i whole heartedly believe he was killed.
What is the background to this conspiracy?
Ancient. Aliens.
Not very dramatic or really even a theory, but that the closest thing to the Illuminati is large family offices collaborating and shaping the future of technology with their investments. Which I don’t see as a bad thing tbh
You will see it as a bad thing when you realize those large, interconnected families are by and large acting in the interests of Israel.
Once you look into the amount of money that is funneled into shit like AIPAC, J Street, the ADL, and the gang, a whole host of conspiracy theories suddenly click.
yup this is extremeley similar to the practice of Sayanim by the Mossad where people with connection to Israel can help them with operations overseas (theres thousands of them in UK and US). A side note: Epstein,Wexner, Maxwell and the rest were very likely invovlved in something of this nature or exactly
Why is it a bad thing to work in the interests of Israel? It seems to me the interests of Israel lie mainly in living quiet, peaceful lives and liking America/Americans. You make it sound like some nefarious plot.

Nobody bringing up the 2020 election?
There absolutely is a deep state in DC of unelected bureaucrats that run and manipulate things.. That's not even a conspiracy.
I don't believe it's a coordinated effort with a central control element. I think it's more-so the types that take these jobs are already self-selecting into those roles. The "deep state" is just the same type of poli-science nutjob multiplied across all government organizations that "want to make a difference".
I figure a good analogy would be investment banking. Is IB toxic as a concept? I don't believe so, I think it's just the toxic people self-select into taking more promotions and reinforce their insane and masochist work habits down the line. I think the ones that aren't fitting that mold are filtered out with better exit opportunities where they aren't killing themselves with work.
That many conspiracy theories exist only to compare to, and discredit, “conspiracy theories” that are actually true
Loose change…. Iykyk
Does jet fuel burn hot enough to burn steel?
Jet fuel, which burns at around 800 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, may not reach the 2,750-degree melting point of steel.
UFOs. Especially after the government announced that they don't have an explanation for them. Some people think it could be the government just blaming aliens to shift focus away from the idea that Russia or China may have leapfrogged the United States in military technology while others think the government is being honest and seriously thinks it could be aliens.
My new one is that there's an attempt to inflate meat prices to force most of the population into soy shit. Fucking liberals at it again. They are really finding new ways to ruin society. Motherfuckers.
I believe in outer space and have a major side interest in astronomy. I'd love to go to space at least once before I die.
That said...I think a lot of what NASA releases to the public just is outright fabricated
At this rate, I would be surprised if you couldn't go to low earth orbit for no more than $250k by the end of the next half century.
Do "ghosts" or "the spirit world" fall under the guise of conspiracy theories or adjacent? I just moved next door to a very old and historic cemetery and every fiber of my being wants to buy some ghost hunting tools to try to see what's what at this cemetery.
They are turning the frogs gay
Dual citizens in Congress
I think there’s a 0% chance we’ve been to the moon.
Also, Operation Highjump is extremely interesting to read about. It’s a rabbit hole you can go down for days.
Justin Trudeau is the bastard spawn of Fidel Castro.
My favorite conspiracy theory is that financeabc is actually a healthy, well-functioning human being who is actually married and has kids as he claims
But I wouldn't bet the above with more than a 1% probability. 99% chance he's an ugly single chubster living in his parent's basement who tries to virtue signal on Internet forums hoping it will magically attract a lady
