Conspiracy Theories

I read:
However, when something shocking or catastrophic happens in our lives, simple explanations just aren't satisfying. We crave deeper reason and meaning and when that isn't given to us, sometimes we create our own. This is how conspiracy theories are often born -- someone doesn't like the official account of a major event and challenges it with a different version. Conspiracy theories can attract a wide array of people, from vehement supporters to those who just like a good story. Whether they're somewhat believable or completely ridiculous, the most popular conspiracy theories got that way for a reason -- they're just plain fascinating.

And here are the top ten:
  1. Lee Harvey Oswald didn't act alone (or possibly at all).
  2. Princess Diana was killed on purpose.
  3. AIDS is a man-made disease.
  4. The government was involved in 9/11.
  5. Elvis never really left the building.
  6. The 1969 Apollo moon landing didn't happen.
  7. A UFO crashed in Roswell, New Mexico.
  8. Global warming is a hoax.
  9. Shakespeare didn't write all those plays.
  10. Reptilian humanoids control all of us.
Surprised that #8 made it. Half the Christians I know doubt it on religious/political grounds. Maybe that is why it made it to the top ten --- edging its way above reptilian humanoids controlling us.

Maybe conspiracy theories exist only because reality, sometimes, sucks.

I am sssssssss.... sssssss..... I... sssssss Ahhhhh!!!

Found this to further confirm reptilian humanoid existance.

"why not find the locality .. using a stethoscope .. and start to dig down ....! If your saying its like ten feet below your feet - then that shouldnt be too hard to dig down to .. and you may find yourself ... opening a hole in a military tunnel ... ! That would be fun to investigate - they aint gonna see you coming through the roof their tunnel and having a look round ..! Man you could maybe even get some listenning devices down there etc etc .."-some nutjob blogger

I just added "Maybe conspiracy theories exist only because reality, sometimes, sucks."

I mean if only --- if only --- the dang reptilian humanoids were diggin' then... the whole world would change... and they'd eat all government yahoos.... and it'd all be on an even keel again... just us against the reptilian humanoids... It's be normal! It'd be a change! Nobody would give a dang that social security was going down the tube and that we were living under a corporate olygarchy!

I'd have a *real* reason to get up in the morning --- to fight the reptilian humanoids! That'd be *real*!!!

The 401K is the carrot that the man holds out to keep you in "the machine".

There are at least 31,478 scientists that have their doubts about #8 too.

Keith said...

Don't tell anybody, but those 31,478 scientists are all lizard people.

Russian lizard people

The goal of the Russian lizard people is to bump some other conspiracy to the top 10 so that they will be dropped from the list. Gotta keep a low profile. This is why they are managing other conspiracies - like crop circles and Nibiru. I'm onto them suckers.

Got lots of links talking about that list of scientists put out by OISM. They won't do no good.
