Is there a conspiracy theory that /v/conspiracy agrees is just ridiculous? ( conspiracy )

submitted by Smeagol

I know people use "conspiracy theorist" as a synonym for gullible, crazy, etc. So I thought I'd ask this question so people might see that digging for truth involves skepticism, not just agreeing with whatever theory gets thrown at you.

So what conspiracy theory, famous or otherwise, do you think is complete bunk?

Outoftouch

There is a human colony on Mars.

Paul is dead.

The faked moon landing

Dysnomia

Everything Benjamin Fulford writes about. It's ridiculous because it's modeled off of reality.

Dysnomia

The official account of 9/11.

shmegegy

the one about 19 saudi hijackers... ridiculous.

crazy_eyes

The internet is just be a propaganda machine for whatever the cause.

yes 'Flat Earth' is being used to 'psyop' and distract people by the many NSA AI directed meatpuppets including the many n Voat and on v/conspiracy .

most of the meatpuppets are lower IQ military surplus people, or contractors.

Aboresh

That shape shifting Reptilian aliens have come to Earth, infiltrated our government and now control everything.....so they can steal our water.

Konekko

To what extent? Most of them? Just a major portion?

canbot

How do satellites stay in orbit?

Konekko

Do you think that is the intent?

libtardsarentpeople

i love a good conspiracy but flat earth theory is seriously retarded...

Konekko

Is this one of the theories you find ridiculous, and you're simply answering the Poster's question?

I'm not completely sure what you're saying. That a large number of minorities online are faked?

Another good one: Michelle Obama was actually born a man named Michael LaVaughn

http://butthatsnoneofmybusiness.com/obama-admits-his-wife-is-a-transexual-man-named-michael-admiral-mike-mullin-looks-confused/

She's definitely a hiddeous beastly amazon woman, Barack could have done a lot better. Also there are no pictures of her pregnant. Some even say Joan Rivers was assassinated for exposing the truth:

But still, it's highly unlikely he could get this far without people uncovering hard evidence.

Personally, I don't really buy the vaccine conspiracies. Any chemical or virus they can put in there could easily be administered through other means. Plus, must adults don't get vaccines anymore so it's not like that's an effective way to target people. The rise in Autism is directly correlated with the rise in obesity, and numerous studies show a link between obese mothers and autistic children.

AreWeHuman

Pretty much into that one

McBitches

My gripe with vaccines is the companies are protected from any liability. If the vaccines are as safe as they claim then why pull a Monsanto and make it impossible to sue for damages? Not to mention the CDC whistleblowers and dead doctors popping up. The vaccine issue is a huge fustercluck to me. Too many red flags. I don't believe the autism shit though.

51rH0n3y84d93r

As in they cause harm or are meant to cause harm? There's a government fund for vaccines that cause side-effects.

Ruston

Personally, I don't really buy the vaccine conspiracies.

Perfect. we have a basis for conversation.

Plus, must adults don't get vaccines anymore

annual flu shots?

you are definitely on the right track, but the hard core VACCINES CAWS AUTISM nuts will throw that back at you and say that flu shots are the work of the devil too. be prepared for that argument from future nut jobs.

The rise in Autism is directly correlated with the rise in obesity

it is even better correlated with better diagnosis on the autism spectrum. the same percentage of kids are receiving special needs help in public schools now as compared with the 1960's. the difference is now that many of the kids that are in those classes have an official diagnosis whereas in past generations they did not have an official diagnosis. THAT is the key to the "increase" in autism. it is mainly an increase in diagnosis.

just as people pretty much no longer die from "consumption" or other mystery illnesses. these days we have better resources to diagnose (and treat) disorders of all types.

Monsantos_Schlong

I'm iffy about the vaccine theories, not just autism causing ones. I had a friend who had me research some vaccines she was going to get and I found out Monsanto makes a vaccine for ovarian cancer I think needless to say she decided not to get it

Konran

This is the point. Not all vaccines are dangerous. Some might be - I reckon anything made by Monsanto and their subsidiaries probably are. However, we don't know, and can't seem to establish any truth.

I think the bi-partisan arguments of the anti-vaxxers and the pro-vaxxers make it very difficult to discuss the many valid concerns of people in anything approaching a rational manner.

In some cases conspiracy theories can make finding the truth even harder.

Chem trails would be a much more effective way to administer a viral load or chemicals. You get a pretty uniform distribution in terms of PPM once the substance works its way down from the upper atmosphere, so it wouldn't be hard to get the dosage right once you account for wind patterns and whatnot.

Chem trails are much more frightening than vaccines imo.

m0t-

Except that the governmental elite as well as the ruling elite are breathing our same air.

Unless I am mistaken.

k_digi

use a simple A B method - spray A onto everyone it's not activated unless you have B. ( Easy once you think about it isn't it)

revofire

But they have the antidotes already in their system. You have to think past all of that and understand that if they're going to do something, they've figured out how to keep themselves safe.

Lake

Damn. I never believed the Chem trail theory but that just kind of shut it down.

Edit: Wait. Unless they had something to counteract it.

I'll throw this one out there. The celebrity reptile alien bullshit. Not sure if that's really still a thing, but that's bullshit.

Also, flat and hallow earthers. Just stop.

QuestionEverything

Aliens are real. Celebrity aliens? Yeah, lol.

Biggest lie we've ever been told is that we're alone.

k_digi

The Earth is obviously not 'hollow' but there are extensive cavity areas indeed and humans do not have any (and I mean zero) authority over.

AreWeHuman

Cool with that too

dildonkers

But I like the hollow Earth theory.

youser

You can like it all you want. Doesn't mean it's credible.

Dysnomia

Just because it's incredible doesn't mean it's ridiculous.

User 'mn2' https://voat.co/user/mn2 asked me about this :

https://www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/478wsy/the_rabbit_hole/

on AI NSA infected 'Reddit'

(he may have deleted as he posted it in 'ask extraterrestrial' ) :

https://voat.co/v/AskExtraterrestrial

my answer is:

looks like 'psychology' (but that is just my educated guess) and i'd be about 60% on it.

here is how it works:

  • Your Society to be accurate is actually to all intents and purposes 'a construct'
  • as Bizarre as it is for me to say that to you out loud you actually already know.
  • all you need to do is add the numbers that don't add up and then you realize that nothing adds up.

examples are simple:

  • Banking your monetary system and money issuance
  • issues relating to humans never leaving the colony
  • issues and contradiction relating to energy and technology.
  • your info systems your 'main stream media' (also lots of 'social media' )

all this adds up to 'a construct' in your 'Qsoul self' (your self beneath yourself)

Most Intel agencies know all this they can sense the rising 'subconscious' awareness so they vector an attack that plays on it.

this is mostly in the form lately of the 'Flat earth' vector this works perfectly because it plays on your subconscious that your society is fake.

but they use it to comment on any real issues to simply confuse the subject in this sort of manner:

'Aliens aren't real they are demonic entites plus none of this matters the earth is flat!'

<<<< ever seen a comment like that?

now you understand, i don't think this Reddit post is trying really to achieve that, more likely just writing a story.

the other 40% is that he was contacted by and 'advanced humanoid' of the 'Plediean' race but this is unlikely, these guys are here on the ground on this colony and so it would be most likely that it was the guy with a British accent also they have had extensive past differences with 'Reptilians' but this could be known by anyone (and just worked into the story) as the story makes little sense to me anyhow.

HST

Can I have some of whatever you just took? This shit is insane.

all you need to do is add the numbers that don't add up and then you realize that nothing adds up

kek

k_digi

sure it's called 'common sense'

also 'being able to think'

you will get the hang.

ElspethTirel

I am fine with it. I support people looking into it.

If flat earth was a psyop like people think, it would be a much more...uh, sophisticated, agenda? You either have people like me, who are curious about everything and want to know why people shut down discussions by calling each other retards (the same people that also can believe in god-like deities and space aliens), people who do shut down discussions by slinging insults, and then people who ramble nonsensically about flat earth.

Konran

I'm not sure it would be a more sophisticated agenda.

The fact that the term 'Conspiracy Theory' was coined after a 'Conspiracy' report was released by the CIA suggests a fairly subtle yet unsophisticated way to direct the masses into belittling any critical thinking person.

In reality things like 'Flat Earth Theory' makes it easier for people to follow whichever lead in ridiculing anyone who suggests things might be different to the official narrative.

HST

I also support people looking into it. I support any kind of skepticism. I can still think the theory is ridiculous.

AreWeHuman

I'm fine with it

HST

I'm fine with it too I just think it's ridiculous.

Konran

I still can't quite understand how this is even a thing.

McBitches

A psyop. Meant to discredit us farther and taint the pool of information. Obama referenced flat earthers in a speech shortly after it gained momentum. It was an ad to draw attention to the 'phenomenon.'

Konran

Could be. Explains why we have a number of Z-list celebrities spouting off the same tripe.

Simple way to prove the Earth is round;

  1. Contact someone in the opposite hemisphere to where you are.

  2. Hold a live stream conversation so that your acquaintance on the other side of the world is able to get a shot of the moon (preferably a full moon). You will see that the moon is reversed/upside down on your companion's screen compared to how it is viewed in your hemisphere. This can't happen on a flat earth.

Dashippy

I can understand almost every conspiracy theory except that one.

frankenham

I find flat earth theories really interesting. I used to not even pay attention to them because it just seemed so ridiculous but it's actually interesting listening to the reasoning behind it. Eric Dubay's a pretty prominent spokesperson for the theory.

shuttyjohnbutty

you may get a kick out of expanding earth theory.

tacticalflyingcat

Yeah thats still happening.
