List conspiracy theories here.

"Denver is scheduled to be the Western headquarters of the US New World Order during martial law take over," Icke wrote in his 1999 book, The Biggest Secret. "Other contacts who have been underground at the Denver Airport claim that there are large numbers of human slaves, many of them children, working there under the control of the reptilians."

I read about Icke last night after readign this thread. I'd heard his name but never really looked up who he was. It was almost Alan Patridge-like, the way he went from being a liked, succesful BBC sports presenter to an utter nutbag. Going on Wogan and saying "I am the son of god"?? Bloody nora. Why didnt someone get him some mental help? He's clearly ill.

Because a lot of people need to read stuff about The JOOISH Cunspiricy without falling afoul of European hate speech laws.

Subsitute the word 'want' for the word 'need' up there.

I'm trying to figure out what these slaves of the reptilians do at the airport. Are they whipped and forced to push a big wheel that makes the luggage movers operate?

IMAGINE THE FLAMES FROM A MOON SIZED FIRE

RE: Anubis.

Recently I read Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger Vol. 1 and a theory that he entertains for most of the book is that we were visited by people from the Sirius system, that occult knowledge of this visitation is prevalent in ancient Egyptian religious symbolism (and the closely related calendar/astrological systems), and that most of the advanced occult groups (he focuses on Crowley's) regard this as top-level secret knowledge.

Anubis could very well be Sirius B. Anubis is black skinned, and Sirius B. is the dark companion star in the Sirius system, which "is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major. The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt.

Btw, I just wanna say that I love conspiracy theories (as long as they aren't too racist/anti-Semitic/horrible) and even tho I can't really believe them myself, I think they're a super awesome human way of interacting with the world. It seems very human to me to invent these ridiculous stories for how our civilizations came to be. It's like this prehistory thing, looking up to the sky and thinkin about god or aliens or whatever to explain how mysterious and weird life is. it gives me big <3 feelings

kind of have a very different reaction. less "oh, how creative" more "what the fuck is wrong with your brain".

The older I get, the less I can derive enjoyment from conspiracy theories... the more they all seem like fruiting bodies of minds in agony. And also it seems like they ALL GET RACIAL when you trace them far enough, it's kinda depressing.

First commenter on that New Scientist article is blisteringly OTM:

People deny because there's today little if any culture for uncertainty and lack of knowledge. There's no room for not knowing. One either buys the news or one denies it, but one ought to have SOME opinion and preferable a strong one, reasonable or not.

I think the problem could be greatly alleviated if there was a better awareness for the limits of our understanding generally and what uncertainty there is and that uncertainty is just part of life as much as of science. I have noticed that it happens people learn that something about a scientific theory is unclear even to the experts and they take this as reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater, (not even the experts know!) henceforth ignoring (denying) any evidence in favor of the previously discarded theory (not able to admit their own lack of knowledge, trying to erase uncertainty).

I need that pinned above my desk for all time, srsly.

fruiting bodies of minds in agony

I like this image!

I feel like blaming "The Da Vinci Code" indirectly for Lady Gaga & Jay Z's Illuminati symbolism. Not that these pop stars couldn't be winking publicly about their secret knowledge, but it comes across to me as strictly a fashion thing. Due to Dan Brown there's now public awareness and a market for this kind of stuff. The symbolism is use in the pop world as evidence of elitism and power in an industry that is perpetually selling the public on status and glamor. Just trade a Hummer for a pyramid with an eye in it. There doesn't seem to be any ideological or philosophical discussion introduced through these symbols, merely superficial representation.

What I'm saying is it would bug me less if Jay Z was boasting hidden knowledge of moon bases or Lizard People or a hollow earth or something.

lol, do Lady Gaga + Jay-Z really have illuminati symbolism?

The arguments for those "celebrity/movie has Illuminati imagery" are sooo silly – what it typically comes down to is the person finding circles, triangles, and things that look like eyes in things. Like I was watching some video that claimed Rocky swallowing eggs was "Horus imagery." Uh....sure.

Read some of those sites, they're hilarious.

"In this fashion shoot - a photo shoot thematically based on Illuminati imagery - Lady Gaga is shown alongside Illuminati imagery! Clearly this proves she is a high level member of the Illuminati."

Recently I read the CLASSIC Behold a Pale Horse for the first time and my favorite bit of that book was when he claimed the moon actually ISNT tidally locked to the Earth. He doesn't even explain his theory behind this, he just states it!

The spooky thing about that book is how the whole intro has Cooper talking about the media's unrelenting smear campaign against him and how these all-powerful people will end up killing him for revealing all these truths. And whaddya know, in 2001 he was killed by FBI agents...

In the 1990s Cooper's interest moved from UFOs, to covert government programs and the militia movement. In June 2001 he warned publicly about an important terrorist attack on United States of America that would be blamed on Osama Bin Laden.[12]

Holy shit is this true? Wow.

oh yeah Behold A Pale horse was a real, uh...eye opener when I read it as a teenager. Cooper was one crazy motherfucker. I'll give him this much: he walked the crazy walk, that's for sure.

Towards the beginning of the book when he's talking about his military experience he mentions experiencing UFOs out at sea, some of them rising up out of the water, which ties into one of my favorite books "Invisible Residents". Basically the book makes the Chariot of the Gods case about ancient civilization being visited, except instead of UFO from the sky they are UFOs from the ocean. Included are plenty of tantalizing 19th century reports from shipping vessels of strange lights underneath their ships while in the middle of the ocean. Author Ivan Sanderson manages to stay on this one topic for the entirety of the book, which is a welcome change from most conspiracy books I've read!

Ivan Sanderson comes more from the cryptozoology school than the UFO/conspiracy school, which is probably why. Different breed of nutty.

i think this video is when conspiracy theories, as a genre of human expression, truly, completely and hilariously jumped the shark:

You guys need to read this book:

It's awesome in complete decimation of everything from the Protocols of Zion to all the Priory of Sion bullshit that let to the DVC.

THOUGHTS: This mail is from the grandmoviestar from Hollywood [NAME DELETED] and is for the reporter Jay Hernandes. Before you read the rest of this mail you have to understand that most movies what you see in the theaters from Hollywood right now like Ironman,Prince of Persia,Clash of the Titans,Avatar,Transformers part 1,2,3 and 4 were filmed 11 years ago in 1998/1999/ 2000.I got kidnapped in Hollywood in 1999 and after this something happened and these movies were removed/ stolen.It caused a situation between 1999 and today that evolved into a scandal like Watergate.To give this some credibility;When you watch the movie Jennifer’s Body there isn’t 1 girl that’s Megan Fox but there are 6 different girls who are all 1 Megan Fox in this movie.That’s because Megan Fox isn’t 1 person but they are 23 different models and actresses who are all 1 Megan Fox.Just watch the movie because some girls don’t look like each other at all. -The movie G.I.Joe and the promotion material[posters,bilboards etc.] from this movie don’t belong together[you can see scene's and characters on the posters etc.from the 2nd G.I.Joe movie that aren't in the 1st G.I.Joe movie]that’s because the movie is the 1st movie but the promotion material is from the 2nd G.I.Joe movie[with me as Sergeant Slaughter and Sienna Miller as The Baroness] that was stolen[the 2nd movie and the promotion material from the 1st movie] by Vin Diesel and Jennifer Aniston by burglarising the moviecompany that had these movies.Jennifer Aniston was jealous because I dumped Jennifer Aniston and started a relationship with Sienna Miller so she stole our movie. For more information about the scandal and a list of all the movies that were filmed go to my space and type [DELETED CONTACT INFO]. Vin Diesel still has the promotion material from the 1st movie and Jennifer Aniston still has the 2nd movie.

not so much conspiracy theory as person with schizophrenia

OMG I have a total weakness for that kind of conspiracy rant (the 'i am at the center of a web of celebrity conspiracy' mode). You have just made me v v happy.

There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over.

Also I REALLY REALLY like the premise of this one.

megan fox is like the father, son, and holy spirit + 20 other people

That rainbow video is the greatest thing ever

Can I just

There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over.

Oh man, if you want to read something great Google "solaris blueraven rush" and stand back.

i found those kinds of things incredibly depressing, it's not like just some wacky idea some dimbulbs have run with but some serious mental illness shit. that person is probably living in a kind of hell

true. i didn't know if it was even real or not. i found it on some entertainment blog that was linked somewhere.

well shame on u

"There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over."
more details please!

have we talked about the guy who thinks sylvester stallone is dead and the stallone we have now is a b-movie actor from the 70s who has had a ton of plastic surgery?

One I'm seeing a lot in local media comment sections, so I looked it up and I guess it's a whole thing: Bill Gates is spreading genetically engineered tick-borne diseases by dropping boxes full of infected ticks from helicopters and/or delivering by hand to rural areas across the country. The "evidence" for this is that unnamed farmers are reporting finding cardboard or wooden boxes in remote areas of their property. People are especially worked up about alpha gal syndrome, which is a real tick-borne illness that makes people allergic to mammalian meat.

The basis for this appears to be that the Gates Foundation has funded efforts to eradicate cattle-infesting ticks, and Gates has also invested in lab-grown meat. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-foundation-ticks/

My own idiot congressman has apparently helped fuel this by talking about it on Rogan, because of course he has.

https://archive.ph/jBqIg

don’t want to hand it to a billionaire pedo but if he actually gave a bunch of baying maga hogs alpha gal disease I would never stop laughing

The lengths people will go to avoid saying "okay, maybe the climate scientists got this one right"

wouldn’t dripping the ticks in populated areas be more efficient?

dropping

people associate the risk of ticks with woods and fields so the conspiracy has them being dropped in woods and fields. in any sufficiently unmaintained park or older neighborhood the ticks would be effective at spreading disease, but conspiracy theories tend to follow the boundaries of preconceptions. real conspiracies don't have to do that

I've heard of box ticking exercises but this is ridiculous.

Also I think the rural settings resonate because they’re presumed to be MAGA, and those are the people Bill Gates is after — not latte-sipping urban blue hairs. (Who are presumably all vegan anyway.)

Anyone else been following the conspiracy of the Lego collector and the Mormon Mafia?

This is why you avoid Tick Tok

xpost I heard about it on Last Podcast on The Left side stories ep — seems less conspiracy & more shitty strongarm business tactics by the new owners but I also don’t care enough to decide for sure lol
