The Sandy Hook Massacre was staged by the Obama Administration.

The New World Order controls everything and everyone.

British PM Harold Wilson was actually a KGB spy.

The "Men In Black" are real people working for the US government.

Fluoride in drinking water is used to weaken the American population.

The moon landing was staged by the US to prove itself to be better than Russia.

I ran a BBS for a few years prior to the internet becoming a thing and saw some pretty crazy stuff come in over the fidonet feed, but something I saw in another forum (RT) yesterday ranks near the top:

Greta Thunberg is actually a young woman in her mid twenties who looks the way she does because her parents have been feeding her puberty blockers since the age of eleven in order to preserve her 'star appeal'.

No, no, no ... Conservative pastor Kevin Swanson says Greta Thunberg is "psychologically disturbed", possessed by "demonic spirits" and "needs Jesus".

:roll: What next ... that she's a mutant lizard-person?

A Real Mickey-Mouse Conspiracy Theory

The Walt Disney Company created the movie Frozen to alter Google's search algorithm so that when people looked up some variation of "Disney Frozen", information about the movie -- and not about Disney being cryogenically frozen -- would come up.

More than half a century after his death, the rumor that Walt Disney's body (or just his severed head) was put in cryonic storage remains one of the most enduring legends about the entertainment giant.

:lol:

The moon landing was faked.

The Holocaust was all made up by Jewish people and they moved on and lived under different names and they all formed this story about what happened to them in WWII.

9/11 was an inside job.

The government can secretly kill people and he hires someone to do it. That is why people go missing and are never found. (I heard this one from my ex) n

Companies purposely make seats and clothes and cars that won't fit 300+ lb people because they hate fat people and want them gone.

People are paid to protest in rallies against Trump.

Sandy Hook shooting was all an act and staged.

The earth is flat

People are wanting to get rid of autistic people by allowing anyone to murder them and making it be legal

All the talk about obesity is just a guise as a concern to fat shame

The medical industry has made up science about obesity to get rid of fat people and to deny them medical help

Climate change is made up

Yeah, it’s kind of not cool on an autism forum given the problems many of us had had with bullying.

We also tend to take things literally.

One of my aunts believes that doctors make a much bigger deal out of obesity than it is and that it probably doesn’t affect your health that much.

She’s over 300 pounds.

Schizophrenia isn’t real. It’s demonic possession. Since righteous dudes were casting out demons in the Bible, there must be at least the same amount of that sort of thing going on, probably more since the current time period is so “bad,” being the last days and all. (Usually spoken by a well-fed person with excellent medical care, cable, and WiFi :roll: )

Informal networking is not necessarily the same as secret plotting, though the line may be diffused.

Sounds awfully subjective, your categories your choice though.

One of my uncles is also 300 LBS. He believes very much the same, but has also said that foods that are high in saturated fat and drinks that have high sugar content are actually good for you.

Yup, it's not really objective.
A consensus is not a conspiracy as it's open.
The fact that people of power are still people and they keep networking unofficial channels is... both natural and sometimes alarming.
There is no clear-cut boundary between natural human networking and conspiracy.

Pathetic.

Destabillisation of a foreign country of conflict or competition to your own is what special services often try to do.
Probably in most cases it's not really "orchestrating" events but secretely pushing and pulling here and there - most likely, in my opinion.

Sigh, I am not sure that the Illuminati still exists, but what he said about the School system not educating students properly, I suspect is right on the money. After all, that would make things much easier for the US Ruling Classes, to have obedient Workers who do not ask questions, and do what they are told on the factory floor.

I work in the school system. That’s certainly not the goal.

We do need a longer school day and year, though, but Americans don’t want that.
