Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

QAnon was made up by Trumps entourage to deflect the accusations against him.

A secret service agent fired the kill shot at JFK when he fell forward in a moving vehicle.

What's the significance of falling forward in a moving vehicle?

An argument to convince people whose physics knowledge stops before Galileo?

I take it further in my belief that it was entirely accidental.

Imagine being the guy that has to carry the fact that they accidentally killed the youngest president in US history

There is a huge hairy intelligent creature that roams the forests of North America. The government is aware of it's existence.

Non-human intelligence has been around on earth for a very long time and the government knows a lot more about them than they would have us believe

That trump is carefully placed and chosen distraction. He was allowed to run as republican so that they could use him as a screen to hide their real plans.

I can't honestly say I really believe it, not when the rest of it is thrown in, but that part I kinda, sorta think has merit.

The rest of the crazy is that he's not only a plant, but that the ties to Russia, the convenient invasion of Ukraine, and the sudden leap to the proxy war going on their now (rather than when Russia first started fucking around there years ago) is all part of a plan by the military industrial complex to rise to cold war era riches again, with a long laundry list of companies like Halliburton.

This is not a conspiracy theory I've seen on the internet (not yet anyway). It's one I've heard floating around at the shooting range I use that's lgbtq+ friendly. Which only matters because that's why I never expected to hear a conspiracy theory there of all places. I mean, a shooting range that's almost exclusively used by people a bit further left than Bernie Sanders and the local pink pistols group, and a local lgbtq+ shooting group unaffiliated with the pink pistols.

Like, people don't even discuss politics other than gun politics there usually. But the last three or four times I've been this year, there's a little clique that's been talking about it. I know them, and the is the first I've ever heard them get into this kind of thinking.

But that's the least bullshit "conspiracy" that I've heard that wasn't more of just a secret. Like, mk ultra shit where it isn't really a conspiracy, it was classified, and there's a difference between them.

Kinda related to this, but we know prior to the 2016 Russia hacked the DNC emails and only really released info about them talking shit on/working against Bernie (potentially the most damaging info/most helpful to get Trump elected).

We also know that they hacked the RNC, but didnt release any info from it. And we also know the NRA was receiving Russian funds and then donating to Trump and other Republicans.

So it isnt far fetched to believe that between the carrot of campaign donations and the stick of leaking sensitive RNC emails Russia was attempting to force the RNC to force a potential Russian asset in power to cripple/break up NATO to continue Russia’s expansion into Western Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Imagine the lack of support given the invasion of Ukraine if Trump were president. If anything Trump would jump on recognizing the gains as Russian territory.

9/11 was a huge conspiracy and one of the easiest to see through in my opinion.

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't see the US government perpetrating the attack. I could see the US government getting good evidence it was going to happen, and just... letting it happen.

The former requires a whole bunch of people involved that would need to keep their mouth shut about the things they did. The latter can be completed by simply not doing anything (someone in charge saying someone else will look into it, treat it like a hoax, or just file it somewhere and otherwise do nothing). If they wanted some major attack to go through, a couple loyal (to the agency) ~~sociopaths~~ people already used to working in highly confidential operations could drop some suggestions and assistance into a terrorist cell and then sit back. It's possible and knowing what we know about the government is not outside the realm of reason. Still, with no evidence of it, it is purely speculation, and believing it is an enormous leap from it being treated as a thought exercise.

The conspiracy theories that involve a bunch of workers installing explosives through the towers, etc, are unnecessarily complicated and implausible.

I can't prove it, but all this road contruction is a front, a con for money laundering.
