Which conspiracy theories do you believe?

[wilkeliza]

I've not heard the one about empty planes, but yes to the ones about the buildings being blown up.

A friend was sharing youtube videos with it saying no one in the planes actually died and it had the "leaked" security fotage of the unloading of the plane. That could have been the PA plane though and not Towers. Either way I think 4 planes in 1 day is a bit much for conspiracy theories. They could have just done 1 of those and people would have been behind a war.

thank you...I will have to read more about it. I just know that I was out of my mind worried (as thousands were) that day when he called to tell me he was being sent down to the WTC and I did not hear from him for hours and hours. Seeing the towers fall and not knowing if he was there was something horrible.

If you, or anyone for that matter, will be in Dallas and have not seen the "scene", it is worth a visit. It may cost you a few bucks to get in, but you will be amazed. Television makes it look like a huge area, but in reality it's much, much more compact. You can look out the window at where Kennedy was shot (they used to have X's on the street, but I believe they removed) and see just how small the area is.
Heck, I stood on the grassy knoll and it was tiny. The camera makes it look like a football field.

I have never been to Dallas but if I ever get there a visit to Dealey Plaza is first on the list. DH can go see the Cowboys Stadium, he can hang with the cheerleaders while I get my tin foil hat on and go take a JFK tour.

Some believe that the buildings were bombed and empty airplanes driven by remote were sent into the towers and all the people who died on the planes are actually still alive and were given new identies and such. The idea is that it was our own government that wanted to go to war in the middle east to gain control over gas not terrorists.

Empty airplanes.... try telling that to the family members who lost loved ones who were on board.

So, it's okay to publicly state you think Courtney Love murdered Kurt Cobain, but someone who thinks there may have been a second shooter and/or some agenda behind the massacre is a "bad person"? Oswald was a patsy is an interesting idea, but Lanza was a patsy makes someone a moron?

And for the record, I don't subscribe to any of the 3 above, but I also don't see any real difference in the 3 either.

The killing of a President is miles different than killing of little kids. Miles.
We have a connection to SH here. The one family actually was originally from here and lost there daughter. The father worked for my employer. I did not know him but know people who did.
There is no possible "agenda" for shooting 6 years old children.

History wouldn't agree with you.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories and I really don't have patience for them or the crazy, wackadoo people who really believe in them.

BUT, if we ever found out that there was more to the story of the Lindbergh baby, I wouldn't be surprised.

I live near Gatlinburg, TN. Horrific wildfires in late November killed 14 and destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. BILLIONS of dollars in insurance claims. Conspiracy theorists here almost immediately started rumors that hundreds were actually killed - and our local govt. is covering up the deaths to maintain our tourism industry. These reports make me sick. Their purpose is to create even more distrust of elected officials and for the attention the people starting them get.

I hope you're right

I just have to say that the "king" of conspiracy theories, Alex Jones and his "Infowars" is a scourge on our society. He truly is a dangerous person.

Yeah that is what I don't get. This friend (really more acquaintance) believes the families are all paid grief actors. Dude says the same thing about SH though too even after I called him out on it.

I totally agree that there is a massive difference between assassinating a political figure and shooting up a school full of 6 year olds. I disagree that it could be used for advancing a particular agenda. Despicable and twisted? Absolutely. Still possible? Sadly yes.

Now, to be clear, I don't believe anything of the kind happened concerning the Sandy Hook tragedy. But I also don't believe school shootings are agenda proof or that there aren't people in our society who would perpetrate such crimes for their own gains.

Timothy McVeigh

 

[Jdbsfw]

If 911 was a conspiracy then the hijackers would have all been from Iraq.....Capisce?

 

[wenrob]

Timothy McVeigh

And Terry Nichols. It infuriates me that he was able to get a plea for rolling on McVeigh. Speaking of theories, I've always believed the third person was his son.

 

[Jdbsfw]

Not for nothing but if I'm masterminding the JFK assasination, I'm at least giving ole' Lee Harvey a scoped Springfield, nobody would have questioned its capabilities like they did the Italian Carcano

 

[CdnCarrie]

I agree that the individual(s) could have an agenda that makes sense in their own twisted minds. What i will never believe is that the US government (perhaps in other more corrupt countries) are behind any mass killings or "fake killings" of their own citizens due to an agenda.

And speaking of theories, I once read that the man who actually hatched the idea was executed on the day of the bombing & that played a role in the whole thing.

I too think Courtney was guilty and I think the detective she hired afterward felt that way too.
I think Oswald was the only shooter, though I think the government was happy not to have him talk and let the world see how a rambling looney was able to kill president.
I think they were very happy Ruby did what he did, Maybe even looked the other way when he waltzed into the garage.
We landed on the moon.
Lincolns death is a little suspicious especially facts related to Edward Staton.
Marylyn's death - you got to wonder. I mean I am sure her state and the things she might reveal made some people nervous. She might have OD'd, she might have had help.
There is no freaking treasure on Oak Island, and the curse was ever starting to watch the show.
And somebody important had the AG who who cleared Sandusky & years later disappeared, killed.
