Doesn’t have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he’s fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.
George Bush meeting with Harambe’s mother in 1999. I don’t know what the conspiracy is, but damn it makes me feel weird to see this.
Harambre was a Human-gorilla hybrid thought to be impossible. He could speak and was planning to “spill the beans” about his origin.
Noooooooo
Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace was originally planned to be a covert Sith Master. He force jumps, he uses mind control, and he “accidentally” sabotages them. But the negative reaction to him was so strong, Lucas reworked the last 2 scripts of the prequels and is why Count Dooku basically comes out of nowhere.
At that point George’s writing and directing was so shitty, Jar Jar would have had an evil smirk or some stupid Sith one-liner that he repeated every 15 min.
Something something something dark side. Something something something complete.
God dammit I hate that one so much haha. Good pull though.
99% of plastic recycling programs are useless and are staged to make people feel good about themselves.
This isn’t a conspiracy at all. Plastic recycling was originally driven by plastic producers, to shift the blame for pollution away from themselves. Basically, it was a way for the producers to go “it’s not our fault the world is full of plastic. It’s the consumer’s fault for failing to recycle all of it!” They saw the inevitable plastic mountain on the horizon, and took steps to ensure they weren’t going to be blamed for it.
Yeah, over well over 25 years ago, like I was a child and thought adults knew everything…my uncle said all of your recycling goes to China and gets burnt. So I reckon that this one is definitely, undoubtedly true.
And make a little money on the side.

Giant Tree RemainsEpstein didn’t kill himself. He might not even be dead.
The only issue I have with that is with the amount of wealth and connections he had, he probably would have disappeared himself before he was arrested. Unless someone even more connected felt the need to shut him up before he had the chance to use the dirt he had on people.
If he disappeared, people would pursue him. Given the compromising material on other wealthy and powerful people he likely had access to, it wouldn’t just be western law enforcement, but potentially intelligence agencies of adversaries, criminal organizations, and the compromised individuals themselves.
I don’t mean just disappear, I mean fake his own death prior to being in prison
That’s a wild one.
I’ve always loved the Denver Airport conspiracy theory - that it is actually the secret headquarters of the illuminati or other organisations. It was $2bn over budget and has tunnels under it, which have led people to claim there are also secret bunkers under the airport. It also has a few bizarre pieces of art within it.
I think it’s just an airport with ugly aesthetic choices but I love that people think of all the places a global secret society would base itself, they’d pick Denver Airport.
Apparently there are 6 underground levels at the airport - but they’re used to run an airport. And the tunnels were for a failed automated baggage transport system. The art is just art.
Kubrick shot the (fake) moon landing, and NASA gave him the lens he used to shoot Barry Lyndon as a reward.
But, ah, you’ll say, I know the joke! He was such a perfectionist that he shot it on location!
Wrong! Kubrick hated traveling. He filmed it in London.
He was a perfectionist, though, so he had NASA land astronauts on the moon to take reference pictures for the backgrounds.
This read like a boxer training on a speed bag.
The secret service accidentally killed JFK after the magic bullet. It explains the unlikely 4 shots from Oswald. It explains why the kill shot acted differently than the magic bullet. It explains why there were reports of the smell of gun smoke on the ground.
But most importantly it explains how the conspiracy could actually be kept a secret. If a secret service gun delivered the killing shot and that became public knowledge, the secret service wouldn’t exist today. It’s a fuck up so collosal it actually has the potential to keep everyone’s mouths shut. It would have been an even greater embarrassment on the world stage at the absolute peak of tension in the cold war.
I could see a bunch of government men in shady rooms agreeing to keep the secret, the president was already shot. He probably would have died already from his wounds. Oswald was technically correct when he called himself a Patsy.
descibed in detail in the book Mortal Error by Bonar Menninger, a sharpshooter and ballistics expert
for some reason people pretend like it’s impossible to keep a big secret under wraps…
the nazi’s kept their death camps secret for years…
thousands of people across the world were/are complicit in covering up a pedophile/rape pipeline that encompasses pretty much the entire US/Israel/Western “elite”, from government officials, various media-oligarchs, actors, business…kept that underwraps for decades…
when you control all the media outlets you can control everything anyone ever sees/hears
The unfortunate paradox of using examples of secrets is that by definition that secrecy failed. A completely successful conspiracy never even becomes a theory.
Pretty much everything “New World Order”: One of the oldest and most common labels for conspiracy theories that claim a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world under a totalitarian one-world government.
Edit: Although there are certainly some signs of such conspiracies today, the absurd thing about many of these theories is that they are often used by right-wing extremists to gain support for ideas that are very close to the goals of the conspirators described in such theories.
The best example is probably MAGA with its “cabal” of child molesters. Now that their leader is president, it is telling that MAGA has gone quiet on this conspiracy theory - and no one there is talking anymore about the fact that influential billionaires are becoming richer and more influential under the MAGA regime.
I have always found such things interesting, as they themselves give rise to conspiracy theories.
It’s absurd to think a bunch of pro wrestlers could organize all that.
That reminds me of a conspiracy theory about Jim Carey being a serial killer who murdered pro wrestler Chris Benoit: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1585159586960486401.html
Yes, that’s why all of this provides such good material for conspiracy theories: the dull-witted MAGA workforce certainly didn’t come up with this themselves, but most likely rather their financial backers behind the scenes. The people in the administration are also benefiting, of course, but I think most of them are more like the front for smarter people who prefer not to appear in public office - people like Thiel and the like.
As I said, this is all conspiracy theory because it cannot be proven beyond doubt, but it is remarkable how well particularly unscrupulous fascists are working together worldwide these days, how visible they are in both traditional and social media, and how respectable their standing is in the business world despite their blatant Nazi rhetoric.
When you consider that it is not a conspiracy theory but reality that the power to bring this about actually lies in the hands of a few billionaires, you have to at least be suspicious.
But yes, all these strange developments could easily turn you into a conspiracy theorist yourself - and probably in a way that is at least some what plausible, despite the lack of evidence. At least it seems to me that there is significantly more circumstantial evidence here than for all the ridiculous fantasy stories that the fascists continue to spread.
I’m pretty sure you got wooshed lol, New World Order was the wrestling group Hulk Hogan was a part of
Ah, thank you! I don’t know anything about wrestling - only that the US Secretary of Education, Lisa McMahon, is the wife of wwe wrestling promoter Vince McMahon, who has been tried several times for rape and sex trafficking (and is, of course, a good friend of the orange rapist). I thought that was what this comment referred to.
Alex Jones was a CIA plant to discredit conspiracy theories that were a liiiiittle too close to reality.
Basically, the government saw some conspiracy theories that were edging too close to what was actually happening. But they couldn’t just outright deny those theories. Because the government spontaneously going “no, we didn’t get microwaves from aliens, and those aliens definitely don’t live among us now as billionaire lizard people” would look suspicious as hell. Any outright denial would only lend credibility to those theories. Like the Streisand Effect, denying them would catapult them to fame. So instead, they created a patsy.
Enter Alex Jones. He’s an idiot, very opinionated, and very vocal about it. But most importantly, he has that spark that makes mediocre white dudes feel smart when they listen to him talk. All the government had to do was give him a platform, and occasionally feed him some juicy conspiracies for his next script. Alex doesn’t even realize he’s being helped along. The government used Alex to give conspiracy theorists a recognizable face and a household name. When Alex Jones hit the air, conspiracy theories were suddenly up front and center in the zeitgeist. Largely due to the government’s help, though he didn’t even know he was the controlled opposition.
And they intentionally got him to parrot those too-close-to-reality conspiracy theories, right alongside the super crazy ones. By making Alex Jones a household name, they were able to collectively discredit all conspiracy theorists. And all they had to do was set him up to skyrocket to fame, and then fail very publicly.
Sandy Hook happened, and that was what the CIA had been waiting for. I don’t think they caused the shooting, but they certainly capitalized on it by getting Jones to fall down the conspiracy rabbit hole with it. Once he had time to work through all of the theories they wanted to discredit, they realized he was getting out of control, and they needed to burn him. And so they did, by leaving him completely disgraced. And the best part (from the government’s perspective) is that burning him only helped further discredit those real conspiracy theories.
That everything is going to be alright
Scariest one yet.
The British Library sponsored the colonization of Africa in order to destroy all evidence of a continent-spanning empire ruled exclusively by women. I mostly like it because the empire had war giraffes.
Oooh, I like this one!
Not much of a conspiracy theorist guy, but: JFK was killed by the CIA, MLK and Malcolm X were partially killed by the US government at least, Jeffery Epstein was killed by DJ Trump, during his presidency, and was also an Israel asset, October 7 and 9/11 could be (partially) inside jobs based on how both countries used these attacks to start massive wars/genocides.
October 7
and 9/11could be (partially) inside jobsNetanyahu actually supported Hamas and their takeover as the leading military force in Palestine specifically because he knew they were far more militant against Israel. A perpetual common enemy for his shithead Zionist population to rally behind forever.
This is the same asshole who starts a new war every time he’s due for a trial for corruption.
economics
Care to explain a bit more?
Stock market is bullshit and value of things are just made up and manipulated?
At some levels, sure. But things do have value and some are worth more than others.
You should read Proudhon’s work “What is property”

JFK´s head just did that.

There´s the conspiracy theory that Justin Trudeau is actually Fidel Castros son. Trudeau´s parents actually met with Castro, one meeting was about 9 months before his birth. They also look eerily similar.
