Conspiracy Theories--Are you a Buff or are they Bunk?
« on: July 16, 2019, 06:15:56 PM »
With the upcoming 50 year anniversary of the moon landing...there is some traction for some who believe the conspiracy theory that NASA never went to the moon and the whole moonscape/ landing was staged video at a secret govt facility.

Personally, I enjoy the JFK assassination conspiracy,....so many motives, so many suspects, so many odd unexplained tidbits.....every time I learn a new point I reprocess against the rest I have learned....and of course such simply raises more questions. I hope its never solved as its been an entertaining who dun it for decades.
http://jfkmurdersolved.com/index1.htm

There are many more...which do you:
 believe
/suspect somethings there
/dismiss?

1. Moon landing was faked
2. People conspired to kill JFK
3. 9/11 was a false flag staged event
4. UFOs and ETs are real and the truth of encounters/contacts is suppressed
5 Philadelphia experiment ---we time traveled
6. Pearl Harbor was known by FDR and allowed to occur
7. Gulf of Tonkin was a false flag event to provide pretext for congress, resolut.
8.MLK assasination
9. RFK killing
10. Vatican: a) killing of John Paul 1; b) Vatican Bank Roberto Calvi hanging in London; c) attempt on Pope John Paul 2 was in retaliation for his backing of polish uprising, Lech Walensa, etc vs the communist rulers.
11. Jordan retired two years to mask secret suspension by Stern/NBA
12. July 7 2005 London bombings staged
13. Shakespeare was someone else
14. Princess Diana was killed by agents
15. Illuminati/New World Order/secret cabals control or will control world events
16. Hitler burned down the Riechstag as a black flag event
17. Atlantis
18. Bigfoot
19. Denver Airport
20 Great pyramids alien advanced technology

and

NCAA promised they would let Al McGuire win it all if he would just retire already

I am missing many more...which do you like, believe?...know any new info in support?

Please freely add conspiracies not named here,too

Also does it bother that its not solved or may never be?

JFK definitely. I don’t know if it was Mafia, the CIA, whoever but he was definitely not just killed by a disgruntled gunman.

UFOs/Aliens. For sure. Again, not sure to what extent or what’s been suppressed, but to think we’re the only intelligent life out there is wildly narrow sighted

The Jordan bit is entirely true. Just makes his legacy all the more incredible and fascinating

Not necessarily Bigfoot, but I believe in Loch Ness/undiscovered aquatic life.

Oh, and Princess Di. Don’t ever underestimate how ruthless the Crown is in protecting the Crown. I don’t know that it was an outright hit, but they had no love for Dodi Fayed and she was also an extreme liability with a huge following and platform

So while I think there is other intelligent life in the universe, I don’t think we have any evidence that it exists for a number of reasons.

First we are located in a pretty insignificant part of the galaxy. If the galaxy were the Milwaukee metropolitan area, we’d be located in a cornfield in Washington County somewhere.

Second we really have only had the ability and knowledge to possibly identify other intelligent life for about 100 years. That is such a small part of time given the age of the universe. It’s like defining your life by what occurs in any given second.

So even though logically it makes sense that life exists elsewhere, that doesn’t mean we have been visited or that lack of proof means anything.

I was flying in and out DIA a few months ago and the signs for their renovation projects make fun of the conspiracy theories surrounding the airport.

https://www.denverpost.com/2018/09/05/denver-airport-conspiracy-signs/

I do believe the Jordan thing and that the 1985 NBA Draft Lottery was rigged. The rest, no.

I believe there is something to the conspiracy of 2, 7, 11, and 16.

Aliens very well may exist but I highly doubt they've been here. My dad spent a lot of time TDY in the Nevada desert....they ain't there

19. Denver Airport

Obviously a conspiracy to piss me off and make my life personably miserable. Not to mention a bail-out of Neal Bush, several savings and loan crooks from the 1980s and a chance to make Stapleton Airport the biggest real estate development in Colorado history.

God only knows how much I miss Stapleton!

I flown in/out of DEN too many times to remember, and I’ve never heard of any conspiracy theories until now.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
