    here's one i overheard in the pub last night. apparently MI5(or MI6, the gentleman couldn't seem to make up his mind which) are all set to fix next months referendum on Scottish independence, and have in fact already altered the outcome of elections all over the UK, most notably Glenrothes in 2012. i do wonder if, seeing as the result is pre-determined, the individual will decide its not really worth voting and stay home on the day?

    If I wanted to try and sway a vote appealing to crazies that I've already rigged it would probably be pretty effective.

    Read a really compelling conspiracy theory re: JFK - that he was accidentally shot by a hungover Secret Service agent reacting to the first shot. Ticks all the right conspiracy theory boxes of being just plausible enough and also totally unverifiable. Guess it originates from a book in 1992, but I'm only just seeing it, most pages on it are from late 2013.

    The downside of course is that it singles out a particular man to accuse, and it sucks to think there must be a few thousand folks who really believe the theory.

    Oh brilliant

    So here's a fun new conspiracy theory from noted lunatic Alex Jones:

    Salon: Alex Jones: Obama is enlisting refugees into a secret army of child soldiers!
    “That’s like the African child slave soldiers,” Jones said during his radio show on Tuesday, responding to his guest William Gheen’s theory that the children at the border are willing tools of the despotic Obama because they crave “Obamaphones” and want to sign up for Obamacare.

    “That’s how all those African countries are run, is off of poor kids,” Jones continued. “[T]hey grab [poor kids] at 12 and give a machine gun. Obama talks about his national security force, just as big, just as strong as our military. It’s so bold, but when you look at it, they really are doing that.”

    things like this are why this is the best thread on the forum, hands down

    So DARPA, ARPA back then created the Internet. Then they created torrenting. Why? To unleash the US culture bomb on the world! With Big Bang Theory streaming into every mud hut and chateau across the planet.

    They are much less likely to attack us when they are us.

    I'm one of the biggest peace-mongers I know, but if you told me that I could join a military or terrorist group that would fight a war against the Big Bang Theory I would sign up tomorrow.

    I don't know why I find this one funny, I just do.

    Maybe it's because if Satan were real and needed to find a way into the Christian home, he might find a better way of doing it than on a Monster energy drink can.

    I am just the worst sort of person.

    I work in IT. One of the employees in my support group is a consummate 9-11 Truther. I can't stand these people in any way whatsoever. I have, however, found that the quickest way to dispatch these people is to enable them, which again, is just, the worst.

    Her> "No no, I mean, I can hear buzzing. You know they found nano-technology recently in the wreckage of the two towers?"
    Me-with-straight-face: *Looks left suspiciously, looks right* "Shh, they're listening. Not here, later, where they can't hear us."

    I'm just always smitten when Non-Jewish White people start talking about Hebrew.

    As if you know a thing about Hebrew.

    I need to find that Cracked article on believable conspiracy theories.

    Like the only one I remember is that the reason Kurt Coban committed suicide was because he play guitar left handed. Goes into the theory that he had back problems throughout his life and that even while on heroin he was still feeling constant pain.

    The idea that the constant pressure of the guitar's weight throughout his career cause his spinal condition to worsen since his spine was already heading to the right so if he played right handed (and there are a few left handed people that play right handed) with the weight on his left shoulder, it might have actually balanced out.


    Edit: Or it may go deeper than that...
    The Robutt knows....

    Monster isn't Satan. It is, however, the Beast of Satan

    "Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
    beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
    Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
    beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
    sixty six."
    -Revelation 12:12

    Monster's calorie count is 99.9.
    Upside down that is SIX SIX SIX!
    Coincidence? I think not.

    I guess you're right. If I made a fake one myself, I'd end up doing the bad grammar just to make it more believable.

    Apparently the Business Plot was an attempt to overthrow FDR as revenge for getting rid of the gold standard and stuff.

    I tell ya, any time the gold standard is involved there are just conspiracies within conspiracies. The One Ring may as well have been forged out of plain old regular gold given the effect the stuff has on people.

    Gold has actually depreciated in value quite a bit recently. All those advertisements about selling your gold? It's rich folk trying to snap it up while it's down in price.
