Conspiracy Theories: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly. (1 Viewer)

Locally we had the myth that Italian-American fishermen were refueling U-Boats off the coast of New England.
 
My former flatmate told me that Tupac Shakur faked his own death and is in fact making music under another name.

I asked him how he fooled the paramedics, the police and the morgue officials?????

They were paid off according to him. :rolleyes:
 
Billy the Kid, John Wilkes Booth, Elvis, Fletcher Christian, and quite a few other notables have been seen after their reported deaths.

I saw the pictures, thanks. To be honest I'm wishing I'd just left the new figures in undercoat rather than rushing the paint job!

... A lady that reenacts and was at a CW reenactment where I was, had a car breakdown in Maryland and missed her appointment on Tuesday morning at the Trade Center. She was driving into NYC from Maryland as it all happened...

My cousin had a similar experience. He worked for Deutsche Bank at the time and his office was in the one tower. He was late to work that day, otherwise he'd have been murdered with the rest of the victims.

Prost!

Same as my cousin in law. He had a meeting scheduled there, but it was moved to the Pentagon, and he was late....

I like Dan Savage better.

Michael Savage apparently played for the same team, back in the early '60s.

He's the Howard Stern of political talk, and by saying that, I mean that his show is more about his ego and about getting a rise out of people, even in an industry where the product is driven by each host's own personality and viewpoint. He's unlistenable.
 
A co-worker's son had left his office in the Pentagon to attend a meeting elsewhere in the building. Otherwise, he would have been killed, too. Had several students with friends or relatives who worked in the Towers. One student's daughter survived because she tripped & fell while running out of one of the towers. Someone who had jumped, smashed onto the sidewalk right in front of her. If the daughter hadn't fallen, that person would have landed on her, killing her, too. Another 9/11 conspiracy theory is that all Muslims who worked in the Towers were warned to stay away that day.
 
According to the logic that a group is responsible for the attacks if no member of that group was killed, than while the terrorists were "not involved" the Jains, a religious group that abhors the killing/injuring of an living organism-even mosquitoes-are the real culprits^&grin. People can be soooooo.....stupid:rolleyes2:

Actually, I just realized there was one Jain who died. Here is a link to a page in his remembrance:

Let us hope this sort of thing is never repeated.

I have had two particular customers who seemed to have been taken in by the 9/11 conspiracy theories and absolutley convinced no plane went into the Pentagon etc. No amount of reasoning can sway their belief.

Both are ex military and otherwise seemingly sensible people and it came as a surprise that they would believe such things so strongly. They seemed surprised I could not see the conspiracy. One seemed very determined to convert me to his views.

In my various Inspector jobs, I've worked with ENGINEERS. Smart men but some believe that because they are experts in one discipline that they know about many things.
 
Maybe if some of the governments and agencies used by them were not so dodgy in some of the dealings then these conspiracy theories would not be so prevalent.

I always laugh when I hear people saying things like no amount of reasoning would make them change. What makes those who dispute conspiracy theorists think there information is any better than the other side???

I don't disbelieve and don't believe its rather arrogant and self rightous to say that an action that occured could have some ulterior motive and be seen as a conspiracy.

The one about Jim Morrision not dying in a bath tub in Paris. But really faked his own death and moved to South Africa were he owns a little book shop called The Grasshopper. Now that is believable. Simmo.{bravo}}
