What is your favorite conspiracy theory?

Asked by Unbroken (10746points) August 31st, 2013

As stated. Double points if you answer why. And by favorite I mean something that you know a little about and gets you emotional in some way even if it is a negative or humorous response.

Why? Because all presidents (except Regan) go gray like Moses did when he came off the mountain.
Governments really have no power. We are all controlled by aliens and we have elections so the masses feel like they have some sort of contr over their destiny but they don’t really. It keeps them somewhat in line.
I don’t necessarily believe this but it’s my favorite.

The moon is made of cheese.

This one is pretty self-explanatory and awesome.

I have a really shitty cold and maybe the nyquil is making me high. But still, cheese moon. You could literally figuratively eat the whole thing.

Michael Jackson was an alien.
Why? Because it’s obvious!

Donald Trump places soiled nappies/diapers atop his head right before he goes to bed in order to “fertilise” the orangutan’s armpit he likes to call a hairstyle.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room I like the moon one as well. I must say that I actually tend to question the fact that man walked the moon as well…

Pachy's avatar

Oh @tups, you’re kidding, right? You don’t really question whether we’ve walked the moon, do you? It’s such a phenomenal accomplishment.

The moon landing being staged is an old favorite. Also:

The number on the back of your social security card is a World Bank account number. At the bank, “there is a form that you can fill out to get that money back from the government, but the story goes if you do that you become marked as a target for death.”

Microsoft Kinect has fine print saying the company is not responsible for any surveillance done through it by the US government.

“Who are they? Are they right? Are they left? Are they clean? Are they dirty? Are they front groups? I don’t know. May I recommend if you’re doing your own homework, don’t do a Google search. It seems to me that Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government. Remember, maybe this is explaining why Google is being kicked out of all the other countries. Are they just a shill now for the United States government? Who is Jared Cohen? Is he a private citizen or government operative? And isn’t this the second Google guy we’ve found? This is the second Google executive now being exposed as an instigator of a revolution.” — Glenn Beck being freaky about Google

Ah, but it should be obvious that Lucent Technologies is Satan reincarnate on earth. The Beast of the Bible forcing The Mark upon all of humanity.

Maybe it’s that whole Lucent/Lucifer thing being the false bearer of light.

Or maybe it’s their Logo as a blatant tribute to the evil symbol of dog chasing it’s own tail.

No it’s not the eternal Ouroboros or the Zen freedom of the Enso. It must be the evil dog I’m sure of it.

And although Lucent’s address is not really 666 5th Avenue… I did see an early commercial once where they were typing on screen…

“This is a demon…”

… and then the screen ran out of room so they had to continue on the next line…

”... stration”.

Pure evil I tell you!

Lol thanks all personally I love @ Haleth’s edible moon. Talk about some rank cheese but I suppose we could feed the starving if we found a way to easily transport it.

Imagine Armstrong pausing to grab a hunk of cheese and eat it mid broadcast.

Karen Silkwood:
Karen was an American labor union activist and chemical technician at the Kerr-McGee plant near Crescent, Oklahoma, United States. Silkwood’s job was making plutonium pellets for nuclear reactor fuel rods. After being hired at Kerr-McGee, Silkwood joined the Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers Union local and took part in a strike at the plant. After the strike ended, she was elected to the union’s bargaining committee and assigned to investigate health and safety issues. She discovered what she believed to be numerous violations of health regulations, including exposure of workers to contamination, faulty respiratory equipment and improper storage of samples. She also believed the lack of sufficient shower facilities could increase the risk of employee contamination. In the summer of 1974, Silkwood testified to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) about these issues, alleging that safety standards had slipped because of a production speedup which resulted in employees being given tasks for which they were poorly trained. She also alleged that Kerr-McGee employees handled the fuel rods improperly and that the company falsified inspection records. On November 5, 1974, Silkwood performed a routine self-check and found almost 400 times the legal limit for plutonium contamination. She was decontaminated at the plant and sent home with a testing kit to collect urine and feces for further analysis. Oddly, though there was plutonium on the exterior surfaces (the ones she touched) of the gloves she had been using, the gloves did not have any holes.

This suggests the contamination did not come from inside the glove box, but from some other source, in other words, someone was trying to poison her. The next morning, as she headed to a union negotiation meeting, she again tested positive for plutonium. This was surprising because she had only performed paperwork duties that morning. She was given a more intense decontamination. The following day, November 7, 1974, as she entered the plant, she was found to be dangerously contaminated — even expelling contaminated air from her lungs. A health physics team accompanied her back to her home and found plutonium traces on several surfaces — especially in the bathroom and the refrigerator. The house was later stripped and decontaminated. Silkwood, her partner and housemate were sent to Los Alamos National Laboratory for in-depth testing to determine the extent of the contamination in their bodies. Later that evening, Silkwood’s body was found in her car, which had run off the road and struck a culvert. The car contained no documents. She was pronounced dead at the scene from a “classic, one-car sleeping-driver accident”.

I pass this on from This site.

Do you think that maybe the Illuminati, the New Word Order and the Trilateral
Commission are all fighting for world control?

Or are they one-in-the-same?
