I wanna say, this is all Swann's fault for getting the conspiracy thoerist in me excited. [insert :GoldbearExcited: here]
Let's talk about some of the wackiest, craziest conspiracy theories you've seen or read.

David Icke and his space lizards theories are always fun. What makes them doubly good is that he will often start with something plausible and then veer off wildly into squamate sillyness.

ANOTHER SOUL HAS WANDERED INTO MY THREAD! YEEEEEEAASSSS!!! I love the David Icke space lizard theories. While I believe they're a bit far-fetched, their silliness is what makes them so good.

The best ones are when they start off like a legit conspiracy theory and then dive bomb into the shallow end of the sanity pool.
Like his views on the Bildaberg Group. Shadowy conspiracy that meets in secret to discuss geopolitics and global finance. Could possibly be the world's most dangerous conspiracy.... BECAUSE THEY'RE SPACE LIZARDS.
David Icke. Crap goalie, crap pundit, world class loony.
Am I allowed to imagine that stuff in allcaps being said in Broken Matt Hardy's voice, by the way?

Disney is 100% evil, Lizard people are real, and I do believe 9/11 was a controlled demolition of some sort. Fresh memes melt steel beams, yo

jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams. the hole in the pentagon isn't the same size as the airplane and other things. i wrote an entire speach about why george bush or at least some insider did 9/11 and did some research on it. And i'm happy i;m not the only one that sees disney as evil.

Crap goalie, crap pundit, world class loony. Am I allowed to imagine that stuff in allcaps being said in Broken Matt Hardy's voice, by the way? A lot of documentaries start like this. Totally legit sounding stuff and then just as they have you hooked, they have someone who let's say looks like they neglect their personal hygiene with a deep southern accent come in and tell a story which discredits the whole documentary lol. But back on subject, I like theories. I haven't read too much into the lizard people one, but I totally believe that 9/11 was a put on job. There's too much suggesting it and nothing to oppose it in reality. The government haven't done anything to disprove it and it's not going away. The one I really disagree with is that the Moon landings were staged. The space race was on back then and someone was going to make it, so to suggest it was staged....Not my thing there, but I'll listen. Just don't get my started on flat-earthers lol.

I don't believe that 9/11 was an inside job. I think that too many people would like to believe it was an inside job because they'd like to assume a level of competence from those with responsibility. When the options are either "a lot of people with the power to have stopped it let it happen," "a lot of people with the power to have stopped it actively encouraged it," and "a lot of people with the power to have stopped it were totally incompetent and made a series of fundamental errors," it's actually more reassuring to presume misuse of power than just flat out failures in information gathering and sharing. People would rather be governed by the sinister than the incompetent.
My first thought on any conspiracy is always Hanlon's Razor. "Never attribute to malice what can be easily explained by stupidity."
Now, using the whole incident to launch a war on Iraq when it was dissidents in key US allies like Saudi Arabia who organised the attack, that's a fine example of a reactive conspiracy.
Proactive conspiracies ("We are going to organise this to happen because it will benefit us.") are a lot less common than reactive conspiracies ("This has happened and we are going to act to make sure it benefits us")

Yeah I can buy that the US Government possibly knew about the impending attacks and let them happen in order to drum up support for an otherwise illegal invasion but I don’t believe the theories that they actively perpetrated them.
