What's the worst conspiracy theory that you've heard?

We've all heard some real whoppers. Secret societies controlling the world, mind control in TV, planned genocide from Greenpeace, etc. We laugh at the funny ones and shudder at the horrible ones, but do we ever actually analyse them? Which theory, of all that you've heard, do you think is the worst.

My worst theory: That the Holocaust not only didn't happen, but that the sham presented to the world was produced by Hitler as a result of an agreement he had with the Jews to conceal their smuggle into Palestine. It's wrong on so many levels.

How about you?

This crazy lady told me one this morning while I was waiting for a bus!

She said that the Russians can controll the weather via something using Telsa coils referred to as HAARPS. Apparently Telsa sold a select feew men from Russian and America this information, and they used it to win the Vietnam war. Then she told me today was going to be hot.

Dumbest theory?...

for me, a man everyone says is so stupid that he cannot speak english well, can't recall history, can't do math, is dumber than his advisors, yet is smart enought to steal not one but TWO elections.

Yeah, a lot of the incredibly complicated conspiracy theories just make me laugh right out loud. Sure, it is possible for the government do something in secret, but pretty damn difficult! Try and co-ordinate four guys ordering a pizza, and then explain to me how there are thousands upon thousands of people all working to 'hide the truth'. Do you really expect me to believe anything that involves "the entire Jewish people" being involved in some secret plot? Do you have any idea what that would actually require?

A book by Spider Robinson "Lady Slings the Booze" explains why the US cannot get away with any conspiracy. It's because our Media would pick it up and spash it on every newspaper, magazine, and tv station for the world to see.

I dunno, but it reminds me of that first Bond flick with Roger Moore - Live & Let Die - where ALL the black people (except for one black CIA agent) are IN ON IT. It cracks me up everytime I see it.

The worst? Probably the thread that spawned this one. But I generally like conspiracy theory. It's usually highly amussing and makes an interesting base for fiction.

Then again, all I know is that I exist and that life is suffering. Beyond that, hell if I know. It could (have) happen(ed)! :D

I don't know about media involvement would kill all conspiracies. Sometimes the conspiracy makes for better news than the truth.

Look at Hearst, he didn't care what he printed, as long as it was good for him, and he dominated the press.

My new favourite is that ther is this guy. He's supposed to be sooooooo stupid, see? And somehow, in spite of that, he ends up in control of a major world government. And then, when he gets there, he got some other guys to blow up some stuff so that he could have an excuse to invade a third, completely unconnected country, and arrange to have close friends get rich off of rebuilding it, even though no one in their right mind wants to even GO there, much less stay around and rebuild things.

Then the dumb guy, he tricks millions of people into letting him stay in office. It has something to do with that guy from The Terminator, and some old dude with a pacemaker that is really evil right-wing nut job fundie, except his daughter is gay, but he won't, like, hang her out in front of the TV people and say, "See, I'm not evil, 'cause my daughter is gay!" Instead he says stuff like, "Yeah, she's gay. So what?"

And then the dumb guy, he like hatches this plot and stuff to not find the guy that did the explosions and stuff, up at the top, so that he can keep the troops overseas. Now this is the part where I get a little confused, because you would think that keeping all those peoples' fathers and sons and husbands and stuff in a war would make people want to get rid of him, but he's a dumb guy, so he doesn't know that. And people all over the world are all, like, "We don't want this war!!!!!"" And he's all like, "La la la la, I can't hear you!"

And then somewhere in the middle there is a part about free elections in Afghanistan and Iraq for the first time in, like, forever and a half, but I don't know where that part is suppose to go.

Maybe, but it could be years. IranContra for instance

There are so many conspiracies out there it is impossible to tell the real ones from the imagined.

History has shown us that our (and other's) leaders are quite capable of pulling off some incredible shams.

This neo-fascist was telling me once about how the Jews had poisoned everybody's minds and that people only thought certain ways because they had a "jewish way of thinking."

He also tried to suggest that some diabolical coalition led by the Jews and the Gays ran every government on Earth, and that everyone but him and his fellows, and whoever he was talking to at the time, was in on it.

They even tried to help him win the war but when they realised they couldnt force it they just left it alone.
