The one about how Bill Clinton was using UN Peacekeepers and black helicopters to arrest members of the milita movement and conspiracy theorists and detaining them at secret prision camps in Alaska. That has to rank at the top of my bullshit scale, next to weather control at HAARP.

Either that or the ones about how oil companies suppress alternative fuels/set the price of oil.

This is my favorite. It's near where I live and I used to break in there all the time before it became a State Park. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montauk_Project

Experiments began in earnest in the early 1970s and during this time one, some or all of the following are claimed to have occurred at the site:

The facility was expanded to as many as twelve levels and several hundred workers, without anyone in the town noticing the tons of building materials or hundreds of workers required. Some reports have the facility extending under the town of Montauk itself.
Homeless people were abducted and subjected to huge amounts of electromagnetic radiation. Few survived.
People had their psychic abilities enhanced to the point where they could materialize objects out of thin air. Stewart Swerdlow claims to have been involved in the Montauk Project, and as a result, he says, his "psionic" faculties were boosted, but at the cost of emotional instability, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other issues.
Experiments were conducted in teleportation.
A "porthole in time" was created which allowed researchers to travel anywhere in time or space. This was developed into a stable "Time Tunnel".
Contact was made with alien extraterrestrials through the Time Tunnel and technology was exchanged with them which enhanced the project. This allowed broader access to "hyperspace".
An alien monster traveled through the time tunnel, destroyed equipment and devoured researchers. The tunnel was shut down and the creature destroyed.
Mind control experiments were conducted and runaway boys were abducted and brought out to the base where they underwent excruciating periods of both physical and mental torture in order to break their minds, then their minds were re-programmed. Many were supposedly killed during the process and buried on the site.
On or about on August 12, 1983 the time travel project at Camp Hero interlocked in hyperspace with the original Rainbow Project back in 1943. The USS Eldridge was drawn into hyperspace and trapped there. Two men, Al Bielek and Duncan Cameron both claim to have leaped from the deck of the Eldridge while it was in hyperspace and ended up after a period of severe disorientation at Camp Hero in the year 1983. Here they claim to have met John von Neumann, a famous physicist and mathematician, even though he was known to have died in 1957. Von Neumann had supposedly worked on the original Philadelphia Experiment, but the U.S. Navy denies this.
Cameron used the mind enhancing system at Camp Hero to manifest a "Bigfoot" or "Yeti" which destroyed large parts of the facility.
Staff from the Camp Hero site traveled to the USS Eldridge and shut down the generators, causing the ship to return to Philadelphia naval yard in 1943 and causing the time tunnel to collapse and the Yeti to disappear.
Metahumans and experiments in special serums to create such individuals were tested there.
Filmmakers were brought to the facility to begin work on a project that would culminate with the Moon landing hoax.
The military personnel in charge were in fact cultists who built a 50-foot ziggurat or step pyramid out of titanium for some esoteric reason.
Early work on inventing the Internet and its implementation it were undertaken there.
Nazi scientists from Operation Paperclip were involved in some of the experiments there.
Experimental "flying saucer" aircraft prototypes were created there, and shipped to other secret bases for testing.
Bioengineering projects undertaken there eventually created the Jersey Devil.
Black helicopters were manufactured and flown there.
Nikola Tesla, whose death was faked in a conspiracy, was the chief director of operations at the base.
Mass psychological experiments, such as the use of enormous subliminal messages projects and the creation of a "Men in Black" corps to confuse and frighten the public, were invented there.

According to one of the books, government agents go back in time and put several rounds into Christ who then tells them that it's not time for him to die and that they should run along. I think I was 14 when I read that and that's when I began to think, "Maybe this is all bullshit..."

nikola tesla caused that huge explosion in siberia (the one that was probably a meteorite strike) by testing his "death ray" (some kind of communication wave thing) at the wrong time

the automakers/gas companies have bought up the patents of all sorts of devices that would give us amazing gas mileage and kept them off the market so as to keep up gas consumption. this theory isnt as popular as it was when i was a teen but some people still believe it, in their world patents are never published and last forever.

The Tesla ones are the best, but it helps because the government does make a huge coverup on him. You know who invented the Alternating Current? Tesla did. Look in an average School Science book, Pages on Edison and his Direct Current Lightbulb but maybe One sentence on the AC type. And even then they don't mention his name. Quite Strange isn't it?

The moon landing one tends to attract the dumbest arguments. 9/11 is close, but it's not my favorite because I am sick to fucking death of hearing about 9/11 - whether its conspiracy nuts, or pro-war hawks trying to yank at those tired heartstrings.

Moon landing arguments often go like "yeah, we could only barely get a tiny sphere up into orbit, and they expect us to believe they could get one flying all the way to the MOON!?"

...as if getting into orbit, and travelling in free fall required the same amount of energy and effort...

Too lazy to google, so could anyone give a brief run-down on what 'Bohemian Grove' is?

I like the conspiracy theory that the ruling elite are a bunch of shape-changing lizards who dine on human flesh.

I once listened to a radio interview with a total nutjob giving his version of how Diana died. It was hilarious. He had managed to incorporate nearly every conspiracy theory there was, including the shape changing lizard bits.
Aparently Diana was assasinated cause she was carrying Dodi's child which would (apparently) destroy the British monarchy.
She was killed in the underground tunnel at night in Paris, cause Paris was founded by a sect that worshipped - get this! - Diana, goddess of the moon!
And the Hunt!
OMG!
It's all making sense!
She was chased (hunted!) into a tunnel (cave!) and killed (sacrificed!) to her counterpart (Diana!).

And there was other stuff about how long the ambulance took, in relation to the phases of the moon, the pillar number they crashed into, even the car she was in was somehow significant. Mr Nutjob had covered everything.

Then there was some shit about the royal family (along with nearly every other major politician) being lizards - proof being that Diana once called the royals a bunch of slimy reptiles.

Further proof that they were all human-flesh-eating-shape-changing-lizards was the 'fact' that Mr Nutjob had called (I think it was) Edward Health one, which was picked up and published by a reputable newspaper (The Sun IIRC). When asked to comment on this allegation, Heath replied that he had never met the man and that obviously he has a marvellous imagination.
This apparently was definite proof to Mr Nutjob. In his fevered mind, if he had made it up, Heath should have sued him for Libel. The fact Heath didn't shows it must be true.

That same decade a new theory about the hollow-earth appeared. It was the brainchild of Cyrus Read Teed. Teed proposed that the Earth was a hollow sphere and that people lived on the inside of it. In the center of the sphere was the sun, which was half dark and half light. As the sun turned it gave the appearance of a sunset and sunrise. The dense atmosphere in the center of the sphere prevented observers from looking up into the sky and seeing the other side of the world. Interestingly enough, Teed's theory was hard for 19th century mathematicians to disprove based on geometry alone, since the exterior of a sphere can be mapped onto the interior with little trouble.

Teed changed his name to Koresh and founded what might today be called a cult. After buying a 300 acre tract in Florida, Koresh declared himself the messiah of a new religion. He died in 1908 without proving his ideas.

Even after his death, though, some continued to subscribe to his theory. A story is told that during World War II Hitler sent an expedition to the Baltic Island of Rugen. There Dr. Heinz Fischer pointed a telescopic camera into the sky in an attempt to photograph the British fleet across the hollow interior of a concave earth. He was apparently unsuccessful and the British fleet remained safe

Also claims that the Bush's, the Royal family, Waylon jennings, and at least one of the Clintons. Another allegation of his is that Lady Dianna died because she found out the horrible truth and was murdered for it. I have a co-worker currently trying to convince me of this stuff. Feels like being recruited. Check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Icke

I forgot about Icke.

Yeah, he sorta goes through all the conspiracies.

A fun hobby is to post on http://www.davidickeforum.com and try to argue with the conspiracy nuts. They soon suspect you must be a CIA agent, it's hilarious.

The greatest Conspiracy, and it's real, is the group that conspires to make conspiracy theories come true. This Axis of Governments actually runs all major companies, because as everyone knows, a massive government is far more efficient that any small company. If you doubt the efficiency of size, play 3 vs. 5 in basketball. I bet you want to be on the side with 5, right?

As further proof, look at gasoline prices. Who makes more off a gallon: Exxon, or the government? The Axis wants some of the conspiracies to appear true so that we'll focus on the more outlandish conspiracies, instead of the Axis of Governments.

Someone mentioned Chemtrails... Man that is one of my faves.

One thing I always love about conspiracy: They require thousands or tens of thousands of people to be in on it, require massive funding, resources, shipping... you name it. And no one notices any of the above! 10k+ people cannot keep a secret!

My personal favorite is that Star Trek was subliminally messaging America to convert to Catholocism.

*takes a drag*

I don't have a favorite conspiracy theory. I am rather fond of the one about the NS Moderators though. Highly amusing.

Moon landings were faked.
Click on this link, read it objectively and then tell me they were real.
Go on, I dare ya!

I'm keeping my vote, but changing my stance on it. I used to think the whole moon hoax thing was ludacris, but that site shows all the proof you need that it was indeed a hoax. I just can't believe they fooled the world for so long...

I prefer the theory that the AIDS was created in laboratories as a biological weapon or to made a population control.

Or that one where AIDS means Allien Induced Dissease Syndrome.:eek:
Not bad

I personally like, "RFK must die"

So apparently this guy named Surhan shoots RFK (JFKs brother) becuase the CIA hypnotized him. I saw this on the discovery channel. An old lady with a moustache can also verify that she was under control of the CIA, so it must be true!

Oh yeah, Surhan was a drunk Palastinian.

Projectionists. I spent a little time considering it for myself and my wife.

BTW, did you catch any of the later stuff on John Doe?
They were going there with it.
That show had a lot of potential.

SciFi is discussing picking up new seasons, cause it has good ratings on SciFi Fridays

My favorite one is Roswell, cause something did crash there, and it wasn't a weather balloon.

I actually learned a few things about the moon by reading the replies to the moon landing conspiracy theorists by actual scientists.. that's probably worth something. :)

Nah, I think they just fooled a few people who couldn't spell "ludicrous." :p
