Conspiracy Theories for Cynics

[speedy_thrills]

There are some silly ones about Soviet Russia (mission that killed cosmonauts prior to Yuri's flight etc.) but the one that really interests me is more contemporary. The '99 Russian apartment bombings. Well worth a little read.

That's great, so we're really in the 18th century? We've got to go through the industrial revolution all over again!!

There's the conspiracy that the first man in space didn't survive his trip home; he was supposed to eject and parachute after re-entry, but blacked out or something and the craft hit the ground too hard for him to survive. To not lose out on the propaganda they said that it was his backup who went and thus Yuri Gagarin became a national hero and world famous, having never been to space at all!

So, they sent someone up into space, he died when he got back, so they got rid of his body and said that it was someone entirely different that went up?

And nobody was curious about a missing cosmonaut who was supposed to go into space, but just vanished that day..not sure about that one!

Wish we'd known a few years back, would have saved all that trouble with the millennium bug.

It was the Soviet Union, people went missing all the time! I'm sure there was all kinds of curiosity but you did what you were told.

His reported death was a bit strange too.

There was a lot of secrecy and cover ups from USSR during their space attempts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60sYdhhFkmc

But that's half true, unless I'm confused. Vladimir Komarov did die after an early space trip, and Gargarin would have been the alternative cosmonaut. I don't think it was totally covered up though?

"...the year 613 was followed by the year 911..." - It all makes sense now! Leif Erikson the Viking was behind the controlled demolition and the vikings will one day return and colonise Jerusalem or something or ... I can't be bothered. Where do people find the time to come up with this bks.

I think they covered up burning someone to death in a low pressure/high oxygen experiment.

Big problem with the Soviet space race was the lack of info. They kept it close to their chest unless they wanted to release news. So that allows for some chicanery in this age despite pretty much all the facts out.

I do find it difficult to believe Elvis Presley died when he was reported to have done. I've seen a film of him performing the day before he supposedly died, and from the way he looked then I can't see how he could possibly have survived as long as 24 hours.

I genuinely laughed out loud at this one, probably got a few dodgy looks in an airport boozer.

Well done Sir,

why do you think Porsche makes sure the 911 name persists through multiple generations of it's iconic car - they are in on it, that's why!

And the Tatra 613 was such an eyesore they thought they needed years to get over it, easy solution, skip plenty of years!

Mercedes deliberately let Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel win last weekend's Malaysia Grand Prix to stymie Red Bull's attempts to persuade the FIA to equalise performance.

I wonder if the US actually knew at the time that the Russians had had that accident that pretty much blew up their entire team killing off any real chance that they could remain in the 'space race'. The remaining team struggled with the dodgy N1 rocket which barely made it past the tower.

The Americans seemed to be racing to 'beat the Russians to the Moon', they could have sacked them all off and saved the money as it was a one horse race.

It all makes sense now. Also ties in with the September 11 plane crashes - 911.

Basically, the world is ruled by a German family who also own a car company & they hide the clues in plain sight.

If this is the last you ever hear from me, then it proves I'm right. I'll let David Icke know.

Sorry. I thought this thread was about conspiracy theories rather than facts.





I'm kidding.





Or am I.....

Someone's just sent me this that recons Paul Walker was killed by a hellfire missile.

That is hilarious, unless it's meant as a parody...?
