I'm going to agree with The Hypno-Toad, at least for a few.
David Kelly. Silenced. Not suicide.
Dunblane. Cover up. Five years olds can count to two (armed paedos).
Lockerbie. Stitch up. Not Gaddafi, not al-Megrahi. (Iran, as originally thought).
I think it’s widely accepted that Al Megrahi was a scape goat, or at least according to several scots i spoke toDavid Kelly. Silenced. Not suicide.

I also seem to recall suggestions that a notebook with alleged evidence of the bomb being in the luggage of a US special forces soldier went missing.
Although i seem to recall reading somewhere he got a posthumous award for dying whilst on active duty.

I heard that American agents arrived on scene alarmingly fast, like before any local law enforcement types. But that could just be rumours.I also seem to recall suggestions that a notebook with alleged evidence of the bomb being in the luggage of a US special forces soldier went missing.

I find the flat earth conspiracies oddly interesting, a fascinating insight into the human mind. Unlike most other conspiracy theories, you can easily disprove it with your own eyes, but those who believe it have an answer for everything. Photos of the earth? All fake. Astronauts? Simply hanging from wires. Seeing the curvature from a high altitude? That's because aircraft use curved glass. Why are there no pictures of the ice wall? Because NASA has armed patrols all the way around it. Gravity? All a lie. Eclipses? The Moon is just a big rear projected hologram.
We have known the Earth was round since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, the idea that Columbus set off to prove you wouldn't fall off the edge is a complete myth. But despite Poe's Law being in full effect, there are those who genuinely believe it, and not just from a religious perspective. If nothing else, at least there is a vaguely plausible reason why the moon landings were staged or 9/11 being an inside job. But if the Earth really is flat, what would be gained by hiding it from us? Surely religions would be desperate to get the truth out, as it would be all but concrete proof of a creator.
But when faced with any conspiracy theory, ask yourself this. Whilst it's certainly true government have done and still do plenty of shady stuff, they are also completely incapable of completing major projects of any type on time, or not spend their time with pointless infighting and points scoring. Would you really trust them to be competent enough to keep a massive conspiracy secret?

Plus all the people involved that would have to do a 'good job' and stay silent about it.
Most conspiracy theorists today had they been born decades before would probably have been religious. It's just another outlet and method of deflecting all the big, scary stuff that can happen in life that one can't control.

Maybe I should have said habitual conspiracy theorists.

Tam Dalyell the MP raised some entertaining questions at the time concerning a WPC asking for her notebook back only to be told it was destroyed and allegedly this had the notes that said the bomb was in Capt Curry's luggage.
Now i'm not even going to speculate on this but i will say that i don't think the truth over this will ever come out in my lifetime.
He was on the flight...
Joseph P. Curry, 31, of the 10th Special Forces group, was returning from a conference in Europe aboard the flight, said base information officer John Rasmussen. A native of York, Maine, Curry had been stationed at the fort since October 1986 He was married and had no children. Curry, a Green Beret, was a member of an "A-Team” - a 12-man detachment specializing in unconventional warfare and special operations. Though the explosion was possibly terrorist-related and unconfirmed reports have placed U.S. State Department personnel on the flight, Rasmussen said Curry had no official connection. "There’s no chance (that Curry was placed on the plane as a security measure). That’s not what these guys do,” Rasmussen said. "It’s a common occurrence to have these guys in Europe, and his taking that flight was purely coincidental. There was no hidden agenda.”

Plenty of evidence for conspiracies themselves or conspiracy theories? If the former, sure, if the latter, which ones and what evidence?
Maybe I should have said habitual conspiracy theorists.
Yes, there is evidence of conspiracies as they happen all the time at every level of society.Maybe I should have said habitual conspiracy theorists.
The word 'conspiracy' is now a bit misunderstood (in my opinion of course)
If you and arrange to put our funds together to buy a car before anyone else does, that is a conspiracy. (I think!!)

Private Eye ran stories of black Range Rovers being there almost before the emergency services and taking away certain suitcases rather sharpish if I remember correctly. There were also journalists who got into bother by taking away some of the wreckage as souvenirs.

How on earth would they know the site of the crash so quickly? Unless they have as many bases as there are police stations they'd have to set off before the emergency services. And how would they find the suitcases? There were also journalists who got into bother by taking away some of the wreckage as souvenirs.

I certainly don't believe the Range Rover stuff, it's just interesting to me that some people do. Just as some people will never believe we went to the moon or that Trump is going to be the saviour of the world who is going to stop "them" forming a New World Order.
I think that in a couple of decades time they will be describing the years we are currently living in as "The Great Nonsense,"
Without going through the entire thread.

Heard a great one tonight. Chatting to a friend he told me of this one...A friend of his said that all birds are extinct and the birds flying around are actually drones from the US government used to spy on the population.
That is the second time I have now heard about this one, I can not believe it could possibly be gaining any traction!! It's more stupid than the flat earth guff!Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
