I truly believe Princess Diana was murdered.

Jury is out about a lot of others. You?

    • I remember a few years back

      I was talking about some tinfoil hat gubbins with my girlfriend and I actually used the phrase `full Moker`. She asked `what does that mean??` and I panicked and was just like `ah it's just a bit of internet slang - dunno where it comes from`. And... she bought it.

      Close fucking call.

  • I truly believe that Diana really did

    die in a nasty accident.

    The idea that it was some sort of Establishment plot is so far fetched that it can't be true. If there were people that wanted to 'off' her (which in itself seems difficult to believe) I can't believe that they would choose to do it by setting up a high speed chase through Paris and shining a bright light in her driver's eyes.

    has been coming out with some crackers recently. White people came from black people via a eugenics program after a black prince was disgusted at something his race did. They originally came from space, then traveled up the coast of Africa, some dissenters jumped ship, by the time they got to Europe, they were all white and some of them are among us and are actual lizard people. This is the one I believe obviously.

      GetOffMyLawn @umlaut_ampersand | 18 Aug '15, 16:17 | X
    • I used to think that

      then I found out that most of the "facts" presented in the film JFK are pure fiction
      There was a good debunking BBC doc about it a few years back - its probably on YouTube. Basically 3D animated reconstructions showing it was possible for a loan shooter to do it from that location.

      • I hope they allowed him to make repayments in reasonable instalments

        Yeah, the JFK film magic bulley stuff is pretty hokey, but even assuming Oswald was the lone shooter, the idea that he was a lone crackpot acting with no influence from a broader conspiracy (of any description) is just way too implausible for me.

        • oops

          yeah, I'm sure there was stuff we don't know about - he did go to russia, no doubt people in the CIA might have known what he was up to, and some may have chosen to not stop him. But I find organised conspiracies impossible to believe just because people are terrible at organising things like that and keeping them secret

          • There is that, although a lot of the suspicious CIA guys and others implicated

            died very soon afterwards, which is very moker indeed.

            To me, one of the more believable "conspiracy theories" about JFK is simply that the fatal bullet was one accidentally shot by his main bodyguard as he reacted to the original shots.

            That sort of banal accident is remarkably plausible and I can also see how and why it would have been covered up.

          thewarn @umlaut_ampersand | 18 Aug '15, 23:24 | X

            to groups of people (pro-Castro, anti-Castro, FBI, CIA, the Russian govt) who might have had motivations in wanting JFK dead, plus the clumsiness of so many other things he did, make it unlikely he dreamt the idea and the plan up all on his own.

      I'd believe - as there's so much evidence or at least very reasonable speculation to point in the direction it was faked

      Hideous radiation
      Fake / shitty photos
      Sped up footage
      Armstrong et al refusing interviews and basicay turning into alcoholics
      Not going
      Back there since the 70s
      All the location / beacon data sent from Apollo being mysteriously lost. All of it!
      The space race.

      But what makes me think it is real is that too many very clever, analytical scientists look at the data, the rocks collected, the technology used over decades for it not to be real.

      Which makes me wonder if other things that seem so obviously fake are actually real.

        Must be massively overstated bollocks. If they were pulling the strings on everything in the world all of the time then there'd just be no way they could keep track of it all. You'd have to have someone in charge who knew everything and it'd just be too much for him to understand

        • No doubt.

          To some extent they probably like the perception of them as some omnipotent organisation as it might make some people think twice about doing stuff, that the CIA would actually have no idea about.

          Truly believe the Crack thing though, there's a pretty good book called Blowback about it and how the proceeds were used to fund the Contras in Nicuragua.

          • As mentioned in the other thread, the CIA/Republicans have been responsible

            for some awful stuff, which was initially put down as a conspiracy theory, but actually turned out to be true:

            - the Reagan campaign doing a deal with the Iranian hostage takers so that the hostages didn't get released until after the 1980 election.
            - Nixon deliberately scuppering the Vietnam peace talks ahead of the 1968 election.
            - the faking of evidence by the US prior to the Bay Of Pigs invasion, the Vietnam war, Korean War, first Gulf War and Iraq invasion.
            - the various coups that were supported to overthrow democratically elected governments in central and southern America.
            - CIA selling heroin to fund insurgency forces in SE Asia and S America.

  • sean makes a huge amount of money from this site

    but hits went up when things started to go wrong. The entire indie ethos of the userbase actually responded more positively to degredation and inefficiency, it was as though they were a bunch of hipsters. They even clicked on the ads more.

    Rather than tell anyone his findings, sean actually hired someone to break the boards MORE and even had the audacity to start the patron thing to keep the facade up.

    In the meantime, he is literally sitting on a lilo in his own 50m swimming pool in his penthouse pad in zone 1 London, drinking pints of berocca with Emily Haines.

  • This one's good

    2001: A Space Odyssey was propaganda designed to spread the idea that man's future lies in the stars: http://kubrickon.com/maze/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=17

    I reject this one entirely - not merely because such a notion is completely inconsistent with the film's overall "DON'T TRUST TECHNOLOGY" themes, but also because the entire theory seems to be based on the notion that "I'M RIGHT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG."

    See here: https://auticulture.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/shadow-of-the-groundhog-15-the-kubrick-challenge/

    "Everyone likes Kubrick except me, so everyone must have been hypnotised."

  • Basically none

    they are fascinating though, as once people have decided and delve into it - nothing can stop them. Each point gets bogged down in trivial details, or there is always something else they can pick at. It goes full conspiracy when the experts showing the conspiracy is utter tripe are somehow all in on it as well.

  • Regarding 'the pusher'

    I fell into the canal near Stretford about 8 years ago, walking from sale to town and I fell in. I just sort of walked in really. It was fricking freezing.
    I ended up getting out and throwing up and then I was dead confused about where I was. Turned out I'd swam to the other side. ANYWAY as I was splodging around, a police van turned up and they drove me home! I had to sit in the cage bit though cause I was all wet and the policeman said I stank :( When I got home my mobile, which had been in my pocket still worked!!!

    Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that since then I keep on pushing drunk lads into the canal and killing them.

    • Ffs

      Think its fairly demonstrably true that there is an informal alliance between corporate interests and political leaders to actively engineer society to encourage mindless consumerism and apathy. The illuminati theory is just an exaggerated version of this. Its fairly obvious that economics are used as a weapon by governments against their own people. The oil price hike which effectively killed the 60s counterculture is a good example. As is the recent credit crunch and recession. Then media with the tacit approval of politicians deliberately swamp us with info overload so truth and fiction become interchangeable. That there wasnt a revolution in response to iraq or the credit crunch is I feel because the objective facts were rewritten in such a way as to make even stalin proud. Hence why universal income will never be introduced - there would simply be too many people with the time and ability to investigate and expose our elites if they werent stuck working 70 hour weeks and struggling to pay their way.

      And jfk was a conspiracy too.
