By "theory", I mean the popular definition, not the scientific. While using reality helps, wild speculation is a necessary part of constructing a good conspiracy theory.
Thread rules:
Let's hear the craziest theories you can come up with.
Thread rules:
- Avoid pop theories like the moon landing, various oil company interference theories, and things of that nature.
- Be creative! Normally posting a conspiracy theory would expose you to ridicule, but in this thread it's understood that we're making stuff up.
- Don't flame! Think of this as a conspiracy theorist club where one person posits a theory, and their peers discuss it.
- No racism or bigotry. This is in the forum rules, but it needs to be restated.
- Use great care when using religion. Even on off-hand remark about religion can send a thread in to a death spiral.
- No plagiarism. If you build on another person's theory, cite properly.
- Try to make it believable.

Ridiculous. That would imply that the Earth has poles, and thus is spherical. In reality, the Earth is an infinite plane stretching throughout creation, with infinite depth. Walls of ice surround the oceans and lands we've explored, and no planes or rockets are capable of flying past them due to the electromagnetic interference.

Proof: Japan's economic recession perfectly coincides with the growth of the dot com bubble in the late 1990's, when demand for paper plummeted.
I used to have that perspective about life in general once.
In some sort of self-centered Matrixian way.
Bzzt! This is a semi real theory. Except for the Nazi part. 1/2 credit only.
Well played sir.
The science is so bad it's simply mind-boggling.
I thought this was for crazy theories?
What, you actually think the Democratic Party is competent enough to pull that off?
MWO: Adamski
It is crazy. What's REALLY happened is that the Republicans staged that complete bullshit Clinton impeachment specifically to make it easier to get George W. into office and virtually immune to impeachment. The country was worn out from the last one, and the Dems would have looked like they were taking revenge (political "no-tagbacks" rule). From there he has been very successsfully eroding the checks and balances on Executive power. The next step is to make the republican party so reviled that a Dem is sure to take the hot seat in 2008 facing Iraq, Afghanistan and any other amount of fucked up situations that they can cram in there. Whoever gets the job, they will be too busy trying to fix the mess to take advantage of the strengthened Presidency until they predictably lose re-election. This will set up a sure-fire Republican win in 2012, allowing the mastermind behind it all to assume ultimate power just in time for the Mayan calender to shut off and usher in the end of all time.

Wrong. You're all figments of my imagination, representations of my shattered psyche.
Jesus Christ, you were supposed to be the smart piece.
And the moon-landing was faked. They missed the moon, ended up on Mars. They didn't want to feel like retards, so they faked it.
The obesity epidemic is caused by a fat virus that was once kept in containment at a secret government base. Recent studies show that having any contact with a fat person, no matter if it is face-to-face or over the phone, is enough to transmit the virus. The virus travels through the sound waves of fat individuals to new hosts, and become active when they enter a thin host.
Obesity: STD?
Except if you read the article (which is a frightening display of correlation vs causation), it says that same-sex friendships have the biggest impact, so I guess it can only be considered an STD if you're gay. :P
Forgot a support. Remember how they made a huge deal over Clinton smoking pot? Well, in a new application of the "gateway drug" theory, having a President who admitted to using marijuana made it much easier for the country to accept a President who is a recovering alcoholic and known to have used cocaine.

"Swing away."
Oh, is there any conspiracy theories that have some legitmacy?
Oh, wait...
Good point.
I thought you meant Microsoft.
It would have worked either way.
Bill Gates works for Apple.
That means that Apple owns Microsoft. It's all part of an Illuminati conspiracy.
Bullshit.
It's the other way around.
Microsoft just wants you to think that Apple is running the show until after they're out from under the DOJ's watchful eye... which happens this November. If they were actively being the Evil Empire right now, they'd get broken up.
Notice the financial discrepancies in 2004-5? That's because the FTSE 100 is manipulated by- nay, owned by the same conglomerate. It's been proved time and time again that there are only three such corporations on the planet, and everything else is just a tiny, ignorant splinter of these so-called "supercorporations" and their eternal battle to dominate society as we know it.
My proof? The last four men to even dare mention these theories are all dead.
Carl Leonin? Died 1899.
John Gregler? Died 1917.
Harry Kingsley? Died 1955.
and now Frederic Erthart died just three months ago.
I'm next.
What liquid is it?

Peace actually broke out between all the various governments of the world a century ago. Every military action for the last century has been an act of human blood sacrifice to the New Religion.
