Oh, I know! I know! Chemtrails. Oh chemtrails. Supposedly, the white cloud that trails behind supersonic jets that lingers in the sky for a while is actually the government spraying chemicals on us to...well do something. Likely suppress us somehow, with diseases, sensors, trackers, or gene-altering chemicals. Now I could sit here all night poking holes in this, but I'll keep the number down to 5 reasons this is BS so I can actually go to bed on time: 1. Those supersonic jets fly literally miles above the surface. There is no way they can be sure of where they are affecting. Turbulence that high up could carry the "chemicals" halfway around the earth before they ever get low enough in the atmosphere to actually affect life. Meaning the only way they can be absolutely sure they've covered everybody is if they try to achieve total saturation of all the air in the atmosphere, which is HILARIOUS considering how many thousands of cubic miles there are on this planet (and on a sidenote, if it is trackers they would also infect a whole bunch of animals along the way which would be a lot of fun sorting out on their end). 2. How do you keep important people from getting infected, like the President and all those scientists running this show? Or is there some magic antidote for this that is administered to important officials? That's sort of dumb, if there's an antidote then other people could steal it or figure it out and it would have been totally pointless. 3. If it is something involving genes or something long-term, what about future important officials? If we are really infected, then that means all future Presidents and scientists and important people are just as infected as we are because they've got no idea who is going to be President 50 years from now. 4. As with any conspiracy theory, we're talking about something that would take THOUSANDS of people to pull off. That's thousands of people who could just "accidentally" leak something, and we haven't heard a word of it. Really? REALLY? I mean even if they're executed they would still go down in history as the person who uncovered the biggest attempted genocide in world history. 5. Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier to taint something like the water, or medicine? It would be easier to administer, easier to control the area of affect, easier to control and manipulate the dosage, easier to study the affects, and overall a hell of a lot simpler and cheaper task than trying to infect every cubic foot of air in the breathable atmosphere. You'd think with all those scientists who are really good at keeping secrets SOMEBODY would have mentioned this. | |
My favorite: The Large Hadron Collider was an attempt by the followers of Satan to burn a hole in the Earth's magnetosphere, creating a portal to Hell that would allow Satan to conquer the world. The Ancients knew this would happen (being beings of supreme omnipotence who can see thousands of years into the future and account for technology that didn't exist at the time), so they created structures across the planet in the form of pyramids. So, when the followers of Satan activate the Large Hadron Collider, all we have to do is take the mummy of an Egyptian pharaoh and place it in the lost "tomb of the builder". This will cause the pyramids to fire laser beams at the sky, buffing the magnetosphere and thwarting Satan's plans. | |
Well, this isn't exactly a conspiracy, but a myth: The chupacabra. I like the different takes on it from a crap-load of tv-shows and comics. My favorite one is probably the Simpsons Comics version: | |
My favorite is that all the important leaders are actually alien lizards in disguise. | |
9/11 was an inside job! It's great that some people have that much faith in our government but I worked for those people, so it's wonderful that you think our government is competent enough to actually pull something of that magnitude off but you need to tone it down a little :P | |
Probably the ones that turn out to be true, like the Murdoch empire basically owning all of British politics. Also, GM crops being evil would be amusing if nobody actually believed it. | |
I didn't know General Motors did any farming, especially not EVIL farming. Oh well, I can't wait to see what the bakeries of the world will do with evil wheat. | |
Don't you know how a car works? They add flour, eggs, and sugar into the engine at the beginning, and the petrol heats the oven inside & bakes the cake. | |
That the CIA was secretly experimenting on human civilians and attempting to develop mind control technology! Oh, wait... Well, maybe the one where the CIA infiltrated political and civil rights organisations to bring them down from the inside! Oh, wait... I guess the one where the CIA was going to pretend to attack American civilians to start a war with Cuba? Oh, wait... Seriously, how the fuck does anyone in the US feel safe? I fail to see how "The government did 9/11" is such a stretch. And this is what's been declassified. | |
the flat earth society is the most hilariously stupid group on earth | |
Also some absolutely golden nuggets here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_experimentation_in_the_United_States "In 1956 and 1957, several U.S. Army biological warfare experiments were conducted on the cities of Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida. In the experiments, Army bio-warfare researchers released millions of infected mosquitoes on the two towns, in order to see if the insects could potentially spread yellow fever and dengue fever. Hundreds of residents contracted a wide array of illnesses, including fevers, respiratory problems, stillbirths, encephalitis, and typhoid. Army researchers pretended to be public health workers, so that they could photograph and perform medical tests on the victims. Several people died as a result of the experiments." "In 1955, the CIA conducted a biological warfare experiment where they released whooping cough bacteria from boats outside of Tampa Bay, Florida, causing a whooping cough epidemic in the city, and killing at least 12 people." "In 1966, the U.S. Army released the harmless Bacillus globigii into the tunnels of the New York subway system as part of a field study called A Study of the Vulnerability of Subway Passengers in New York City to Covert Attack with Biological Agents. The Chicago subway system was also subject to a similar experiment by the Army." "From 1942 to 1944, the U.S. Chemical Warfare Service conducted experiments which exposed thousands of U.S. military personnel to mustard gas, in order to test the effectiveness of gas masks and protective clothing." "From 1950 through 1953, the US Army sprayed toxic chemicals over six cities in the United States and Canada, in order to test dispersal patterns of chemical weapons. Army records stated that the chemicals which were sprayed on the city of Winnipeg, Canada, included zinc cadmium sulfide." Fuckin' brilliant. Captcha: "lie low" | |
That Ronald Wilson Reagan was the devil. Each of his names has 6 letters. Think about it... | |
Please tell me you made that up. Please. OT: TimeCube. It states that religious leaders have conspired with scientists to block the public's knowledge of the Time Cube. To this day, I don't understand how Time Cube is supposed to work. Something about each day having four sides and the sun being a cube and we are all heathens for not embracing His Cubiness and THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO COVER THIS UP. | |
Look up any clip of Fox News complaining about "Liberal Hollywood" or the "Liberal Media", and you'll find platinum-encrusted diamonds of comedy there. Sure, it'll take a while for them to top "The Muppets are Socialist Propaganda", but sooner or later they'll out-stupid themselves. edit: how could I forget TimeCube? I second TimeCube. | |
That the Moon landing isn't real My favorite 3 | |
and i thought i had imagined this, i'm not as mental as i thought i was. Yeah!! | |
Illuminati controls the world apparently. Although if that turns out to be true I just want to know one thing. Where do I sign up? I mean seriously if the conspiracy theories are anything to go by the Illuminati must be the single most competent organization on the globe (I mean even CIA or MI6 looks like a group of toddlers compared to what the Illuminati supposedly keeps secret). | |
Anything you can block with a tinfoil hat. I wish they all involved tinfoil hats. Those things are awesome... | |
bwahahahahaha Gets me everytime that somebody doesn't get the simple scientific principles :D | |
That passenger planes drop large chunks of blue piss ice from the sky.
| |
you will lovethis site then. it started fictional armageddon | |
I thought you where joking but then I looked that up. Wow. | |
+1 for George W. Bush being a lizard-man. Y2K and the whole 2012 package, just because a calender ends means the whole world must be ending along with it. Oh no! My calender from 1975 ended, were already dead and we don't even know it. My uncle somehow convinces himself of his own conspiracy theories. For instance, he believes the tsunami that hit Japan was caused by a secret US organization testing a missile developed from alien technology that disrupts water. Why? No clue. | |
These types of things don't usually interest me, but one day my gullible friend tried to scare everyone that the US government owns a Weather Machine and is planning to use to wipe out the population, and then blame it on God. I didn't mean to annoy him but I couldn't stop laughing. | |
I love this one. Always good for a laugh | |
Also, all this talk of evolution. Descended from monkeys? Crazy | |
Actually mythbusters tested that one and it is vaguely plausible (provided that two security systems fail and that resulting leak is a trickle allowed to accumulate on the outside of the fuselage and when it has grown enough it will break off because of the airflow, not very plausible but it is possible). Captcha: they ate it Sure don't hope they didn't. | |
Entirely possible, just unlikely, watch the Mythbusters episodes about it.
They do, just unlikely. Salmonella for example, botulinum toxin. You just need to not be very cleanly. | |
No one replied to your posts yet. That's sad, I guess no one can debate it. Where you from? If you don't mind saying. | |
Botulinum toxin? Isn't that sold as Botox these days? Quite successful if I remember correctly. | |
*shrugs* there's not really much to say, I suppose. It's just kinda disturbing stuff. I'm from Australia. I'm not entirely sure we even have a CIA equivalent. We have ASIO, but I think that's more akin to the FBI... | |
It is, but there are different types with different potensies, also they use VERY small doses in medical use (or any other use for that matter). | |
That Half life 3 will be released in our lifetimes. In all seriousness, the LHC making a black hole big enough to swallow up the world. There were actually posters posted around my school warning us of the inevitable end, then everyone screaming about it looked like dumbasses when it happened. | |
I never understood things like this... I mean, the scientists working on it basically said, no, that will never happen "it is impossible for microscopic black holes to be produced at the LHC." and yet these people with no scientific knowledge beyond "gravity exists" started yelling about black holes and that we were all going to die. | |

So about 30 minutes ago something really loud and big flew right above the main road through my college campus. I caught a glimpse of it but all I could really see were the lights on it. I am guessing that it was a helicopter due to the noise and the distance between the lights. In any case whatever it was it was flying low, my guess is somewhere around 30 feet but there is a ton of room for error there.
Now our ROTC program (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) sometimes gets helicopters out around here to give the recruits some experience riding them. But they are always during the day and never that low unless they are landing.
In any case it immediately got me thinking about the 'Black Helicopter' conspiracy theories and the theories related to them such as Aliens. So what is your favorite theory. I don't mean which theories you personally believe, while that could make things interesting it WILL get out of hand without a doubt, I mean to ask which ones you enjoy reading about in fake news/fiction or which ones you enjoy debating with those who do believe in them.
In my case I love reading about Alien theories, Black Helicopters, and the like. I also love "debating" the '______ was an inside job' theorists and the 'moon landing was a hoax' theorists.
