I've heard that there is a global network, a syndicate, a power structure that's more powerful than individual governments of nations. The network allegedly involves a symbiosis between media companies, academia (universities), corporations and governments and the 'intelligence units' of governments of countries around the world.

Apparently the goal of this power structure is to manipulate, exploit, control and subjugate humans on the planet.

By these definitions, groups of interest and cliques don't need to be conspiracies, too.
Informal networking is not necessarily the same as secret plotting, though the line may be diffused.

The park service and the U.S. Army supposedly joined forces in the wilderness cleanup of the Mt. St. Helens eruption, to not only bury bodies of bigfoot creatures killed in the eruption, but to cooperate with living Bigfoots to help rescue their kin in the wilderness. That according to a couple of UTube vids I saw.


That’s fun!

I wonder why the National Park Service wants to keep the existence of Bigfoot a secret...

Do they think people will start hunting them?

It’d make much more sense to capture some and put them in zoos that would implement a breeding program like zoos do with other endangered animals.

Then again, conspiracy theorists are probably rather weak in the logic department...

I remember another one!

President Bush was behind the attacks on 9/11 because he wanted to start a war to cement his presidency or something like that. (Hmm... I tend to like Presidents who can uphold peace, but that’s just me.)

I actually watched a documentary on it. I remember it containing this technical segment in which it showed how, based on the World Trade Centers’ structure, the assault to the building had to have come from within.

It was pretty clever, and I could see how it could convince some people or further cement such a crazy idea into a believer’s mind.

I’ve noticed that if you make something sound really complex people are more likely to believe it, especially if they have not been taught critical thinking skills. This sort of method is employed by religious cults all the time.

Uhmmm… OMG!

Well actually there is a famous Middle Ages woodcut showing a guy who travels so far that he actually reaches the edge of the earth (where the earth and the dome meet), and pokes his head through the dome, and he sees... all of the pulleys and gears behind the dome that power the motions of the celestial bodies we see on the dome. :lol:

Welll…..yeah. That's a good question.

If these creatures were real, and if it became widely accepted that they were real that might indeed create a lot of management problems for the National Park Service. They are already enough nonviolent busy bodies tramping around in the woods trying to video them for U Tube, and for AnimalPlanet. There might well be a groundswell of millions of folks, including folks with guns trying to shoot them, if public opinion were to flip from ridicule to acceptance of them being real. They would have to protect the creatures, and manage the crazy public as well.

And that might well be a good ("good" as in "honorable", or "laudible") reason for the Park Service to keep what they may know under wraps.

The Carly Fleischmann Conspiracy Theory

The latest conspiracy theory on this non-vocal autistic celebrity from Toronto, Canada is that she is being held against (what's left of) her will by her father, who has forced her to undergo ECT to make her more compliant as he reaps all the profits from her books.

It is only a conspiracy theory ... It is only a conspiracy theory ... It is only a conspiracy theory ...

It’s not actually real, right?

I’m puzzled.

From what I know of ECT in this day and age is that it’s not overprescribed and is usually just used to treat med resistant, severe depression.

ECT is allegedly the reason why she is non-verbal.  She apparently received it at a much younger age to treat her OCD.

Flat earth, that Epstein hung himself, Iraq had WMD's that could destroy us in 45 minutes and he had links to Al Qaeda, that Gadaffi was handing out viagra to his troops, that Iraqi soldiers were dragging babies out of incubators in Quwait, that Assad is gassing his own people, Russiagate, fake moon landing.

Conspiracy theorists accuse Israel of involvement in major international conspiracies against Muslims in order to distract international attention from what Palestinians call the "Palestinian cause". According to conspiracy theorists, Israel has orchestrated all of the following activities:

• the civil war in Lebanon
• the division of Sudan
• the civil strife in Yemen
• the massacre of Christians in Iraq
• the persecution of Palestinians in Iraq
• the persecution of Muslims in Mindanao
• the general discrimination against Muslims in Detroit, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Pretoria, Bejing, and nearly every other capital city of a non-Muslim country.

In other words, there is an alleged global conspiracy, led by Israel, to disrupt the lives of Muslims in every community all over the world.

Pathetic.
