Before I saw the statue, I thought the morphing picture went from drawing to a black and white screen-cap of an Argonian.spartan231490 said:As for the stupidest theory I've ever heard: truthism.com
read it. I dare you. You actually should it's the funniest thing i've ever read.
The hemp thing isn't a theory, it's known fact. My state used to be the king of hemp, and it was poised to replace wood pulp for newsprint, then the guy who just happened to have a large amount invested in the wood industry began a campaign to make hemp illegal.Hunter65416 said:None for me really, There are some that are completly ridiculous like the US govournment setting up 9/11 which quite alot of people do believe but I just think theres no way they'd do it because if it was uncovered EVERYONE worldwide would be pissed, People in charge would be executed or inprisoned and the UN would take charge, It just wouldnt be worth doing that just to increse favour on the war, But if someone disagrees - tell me why
Theres a theory ive read up on about elvis being alive..maybe..but probably not
The stupidest one I can think of is the 'Paul is dead' one about the beatles covering up pauls death to save the public grief
What conspiracy theories do you believe - if any? and why?
EDIT: The one theory I do 100% agree with is the theory..no.. the fact that the big industries in the US (logging/paper/clothing/tabbaco/alcohol/ect) were behind making cannabis and hemp illegal.
Now that I think of it, The theory that the monarchy was responsible for dianas death springs to mind but thats also a 'ehm possibly'
And Ive changed my mind, The dumbest one I can think of is that some people believe that the holocaust never existed..I mean..come on..
I don't relly get your chain of events above. Why did the US want someone to throw the first punch? What did the US gain from it? What is the motive?Nimzabaat said:I'd say I believe that the US was behind the WTC attack. Just because it's a lesson learned from Germany (one of Hitlers advisors was quoted as saying "people will not believe a small lie, but they will believe a big lie". That was in regards to Hitler telling the Germans that they were going to be attacked so they went to war first.) Also because it's a chain of events that makes a lot of sense. The US tried to make other countries throw the first punch; Russia (sinking their submarine), Japan ("accidently" killing a boatload of school children), Korea (well just insults really). Before they figured out it'd be more convincing if someone attacked them (Oklahoma State Building). Oh wait before someone attacked them, that couldn't be proved to be a local patsy, or at least wouldn't admit to doing it, and make them have to think of something bigger... As a chain of events it's not even far-fetched. What is far-fetched is that Americans honestly believe that the "bad guys" are stupid enough to go; bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs, planes (oh hey that worked!), bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs...
But anyways...
I don't believe that Elvis is alive.
I'm definitely not on board with his theory, but the US government stands to have a lot to gain by 9/11. See: The boom in the military/industrial complex circa 2001-2008, the PATRIOT Act, etc.DrOswald said:I don't relly get your chain of events above.

No, aliens shot Tupac.Floggo said:Tupac is alive.
Actually it's very possible. How much do people know about anything the SEAL teams do? If they're all "patriots" they'll carry that story (and many others) to their graves. The tech has been around since the 90's. If you've ever seen FX2, there's a life sized clown that is remote controlled by a guy in a suit. I read up on it in Popular Science and they just mentioned that it was an actual device used by the US Air Force to test pilot jet fighters from the ground. As there was a paramedics conference happening at the time, bringing something that looked like a hi-tech "Annie" doll onto an airplane wouldn't be conspicuous. Oh and conviently if you check out any close ups on the second airplane, there's a door open by the pilots cabin. So they had motive, ability and opportunity. That and it took forever to stage evidence against people on the planes, not to mention that the staged evidence was obviously staged. Who goes on a suicide mission and leave their van in long term parking, then leave an orgy of evidence in it? Okay I stop.

There's a lot of money and influence consolidated into relatively few hands in wartime, and it's well within the realm of possibility for someone to want to engineer a war to further their own agenda or deepen their pockets.
That said, being able to do it without leaving any evidence and completely avoiding all public scrutiny of the act itself qualifies as an Act of God. It requires that everyone involved is committed to the cause, incorruptible, and perfect. Since it's not possible for any group of people to continually meet all 3 of those points, it's not possible for them to engineer such a thing. I don't doubt for a second that more than a few people want to, but it's just not realistic to be able to pull it off.
You're right in that the SEAL teams won't say a word. The rest of this is questionable at best.Nimzabaat said:Actually it's very possible. How much do people know about anything the SEAL teams do?

Again, I never said they couldn't pull it off. I said they couldn't pull it off and leave no evidence of their involvement behind. Something, somewhere would slip up and reveal their hand. Anything else requires an absolutely perfect execution, which is just this side of impossible when you have more than 1-2 people involved.Nimzabaat said:On the very slim chance that you're not a troll, here's how the scenario would run if I were told to plan it. Please bear in mind that we're talking about conspiracy theories. The theory I have run with just happens to match the facts. Also keep in mind that the plan did actually work. So saying that nobody could plan this thing perfectly is just silly.
This explanation raises 2 questions you're not addressing:Nimzabaat said:Okay four guys per plane. Step one take control of the pilots cabin and barricade it (that happened). Install remote control device. Exit airplane (whether with the pilots own parachutes or with smugglers rigs). Remote pilot airplane into target. The amount of damage in the crash makes it impossible to determine if passengers were missing. It is worth noting that it was only 75% successful. The passengers broke into the pilots cabin on one plane and that plane immediately crashed. Whether it was already being remotely piloted of if that particular team died is impossible to determine (okat if that's how it went down i'm sure somebody knows). Anyways that's how I would have planned that operation if I was told to. It's actually really simple to execute.
Now. Done.
