    Way too many "oversights" for it not to be an intentional attempt by actors in government to be able to get that young, dumb, punk, on top of that building so close to Trump with a scoped rifle. There's more but you won't accept anything that casts your party gods in anything less than a glorious light.

    Paul McCartney died and was replaced. Too many clues on album covers and in songs to be anything other than Paul dying and being replaced.

    The same goes for Avril Lavigne. She was replaced by a clone. There are just too many inconsistencies in her style from her early days to the later stages of her career to be anything else.

    Is the theory that there was a failed, fake ‘assassination attempt’ that was engineered to make Trump look like some sort of invulnerable super man? ‘Oh no, I was shot at, look at the ketchup on my ear and face, let me raise my fist in defiance while four able bodied secret service members couldn't tackle me down somehow.’... and it was engineered by DC based elements, I agree. It's believable.

    Lately I've been reading a lot of CIA and intelligence community history.

    I wish some of this stuff was only conspiracies. I read The Devil's Chessboard recently and I've never had a book I wanted to throw across the room multiple times and when I finished it I almost unconsciously threw it in the trash at the coffeeshop because I was so disgusted by everything we do. But I didn't throw it out lol.

    Not a conspiracy but here's some little known history with the JFK assassination...

    There were 2 other prior attempts that same month on Nov 2 in Chicago and Nov 18 1963 in Tampa. The first attempt in Chicago attempt also had similarities to the Dallas assassination.

    There was a whistleblower Abraham Bolden in the Secret Service that was going to testify to the Warren Commission about the attempt in Chicago. He was going to bring up the complete lack of professionalism that existed in the Secret Service and also that it was likely a 4 man team trying to assassinate Kennedy instead of only the 1 Marine, Thomas Vallee, that was arrested. Long story made short Abraham Bolden ended up getting arrested on bribery charges. He was ultimately convicted after a 2nd trial. Later the witnesses said they lied to frame him and he was ultimately given a pardon by Biden in April 2022.

    Social media grifters have ruined conspiracies and unexplained mysteries.

    But, I used to like the Shakespeare conspiracy. Roland Emmerich made a film about it 15 years ago.

    I think the whole thing was staged, to be honest.

    Why have we heard NOTHING about the shooter? Not even from Trump himself? Where are the congressional hearings with testimony from agents on duty that day? This should have warranted at least a congressional hearing, right? Trumps ear was hit. Where is the wound? Not a single mark?

    The key for me was the reaction of Trump. When someone jumped a barrier in 2016 during a campaign stop and Secret Service rushed in, he clutched at them like he was drowning. And now we have him pumping his fist, making himself a bigger target and stopping for his shoes...

    Percentage of how certain I am this is true:

    - Trump’s assassination attempt definitely staged - 100%
    - Drugs intentionally flooded into ghettos (black neighborhoods) so they could destroy themselves - 100%
    - JFK was an inside job and the whole Lee Harvey Oswald did it alone is laughable - 100%
    - Martin Luther King and Malcolm X’s assassination attempts + Black Panther Party high officials / founders attempts to take them down and potentially conspired to kill with some involvement of the FBI / CIA - 100%
    - Twin Towers plane crashes (terrorist attack) was at least known, so they might have had help from people inside the Bush administration - 99%
    - Hamas terrorist attack was definitely known by some intelligence agency and used as an excuse to commit genocide and take over Palestine - 99%
    - HIV/AIDS created through man made experiments (to decrease human population) - 60%
    - HIV/AIDS given to homosexuals during drug trials in NY - 100%
    - Bird flu / swine flu and plenty of others, including what turned into COVID-19, with some entity and man created (to decrease human population) - 20-30%
    - Russian influence in the US elections - 50%
    - Trump corrupt AF, friends with Putin and all of that - 100%
    - UFOs are largely if not all just secret development of military warplane projects and what not - 100%
    - American and Western nations involved in a lot of coups, overthrowing of governments and leaders, backing someone who’s willing to be a puppet and or give them a good deal in Africa, Latin America and the Middle-East, creating and backing the likes of Hamas, ISIS etc. - 100%
    - Rich nations and certain families and individuals stay in power at all cost, through manipulation mass media - that they own - dividing the people by creating hate for “the other” and making sure people stay that way so they won’t come together and fight mass corruption and are powerless in the corrupt deals - 90%
    - Environmental destruction and global warming are 100% man created and true. The denial is largely by people who want to stay in power so they can continue their corrupt deals, make money, keep oil and fossil fuels - 100%
    - We long have the technology to cure diseases as well as have every single human being on earth fed, clothed, with access to water and medicine + have cleaner emissions, fuel for cars, etc but again, money and corrupt people in power keep it from happening - 100%
    - The idea that we’re overpopulated comes from these same elitists, rich and powerful since they keep us from all having a basic standard of live, which is sustainable with local grown foods, healthy ways to farm - no pesticides that are harmful - and would not strain earth’s resources. It would require a lot of work, re-planting, lots of land used for farming to give another purpose etc. - 100%
    - Governments do not have our health and our well being in their best interest and downplay the effects of pesticides, microplastics and other toxic ingredients in all kinds of random products affecting our health, developing diseases that otherwise would not exist like cancer, alzheimer’s, and even our DNA - 75% (I believe this is 100% the case, just not sure which diseases and in what way it affects us).

    And probably plenty more, it’s unfortunate many conspiracy theories just get used by people and taken to another level where it just doesn’t make sense anymore. Like there’s all these Illuminati, Club of Rome, Templars accusations of people in high positions involved in blood and satanic rituals, killing babies to use for skin products by famous people in Hollywood or a Bill Gates involved in killing people through his aid programmes and all of that nonsense. Once you take a credible, potential theory of what might have happened in a certain war, attack, spreading of a disease and link it to just one individual or this secret society then it’s of course ridiculed and considered ludicrous.

    Let's look at these one by one

    No chance. Too close to being successful, the shooter was killed, and people in the crowd died from the missed shots.

    They intentionally flooded into those neighborhoods, absolutely, but it wasn't to destroy them, it was to make money at their expense because they didn't care about what happened to them. It was less "this will get them!" and more "who cares what happens to them"

    Agreed.

    Yeah, probably with some of them. Probably not Malcom X though, he turned his back on some really violent unhinged religious extremists and made a lot of statements that set them off. That was just the Nation of Islam being the Nation of Islam.

    Yeah, it's really hard to tell the difference between incompetence and complicity on things like that. I could believe either. Especially at the time, communication channels weren't as developed as they should have been and there was a massive logjam when it comes to intelligence that was actually collected but not properly analyzed and distributed. It's still a bit of a problem, but nowhere near as bad as it was then. They would find out after the fact that they "knew" about a lot of things that could have been prevented if the information was sent to the proper places in time.

    I know that seems like it was intentional, and potentially sometimes it could have been, but the vast majority of it was not. It was just a cluster**** of a system that needed to be fixed.

    Probably. They were seeking to put an end to the terrorist entity for a very long time and just didn't have the political will to do it....until that happened. Would make sense to let them do it so that they could finally put an end to the threat once and for all.

    I don't think so, it predates modern genetic engineering.

    I wouldn't put it past "them", but I think the most likely scenario is that it was a natural thing that just spread quickly due to the deviant lifestyles of a large number of homosexual men in NYC at the time who were unaware of the risks associated with having hedonistic fun. However, I give this one 40%

    It's true that "they" manipulate viruses and make them more deadly and more contagious for "research" and it's definitely 100% that is how COVID-19 was created and how it was accidentally released. I don't think it's to decrease human population, I think it's just when hubris meets incompetence.

    ANY attempts to influence US elections? 100%

    Meaningful influence over US elections? 10%

    Same for China and a host of other countries.

    Corrupt? Probably
    Friends with Putin? Probably not.

    He's one of the most self interested people to have ever existed. I don't think he's legitimately friends with anyone, he just temporarily uses those who can benefit him.

    Almost certainly.

    This isn't even conspiracy theory, it's documented fact.

    There's a reason why every US president in the history of the country, save one, is from the same family tree...and they tried to throw him in prison for having won, upsetting their plans.

    Team Republican and Team Democrat aren't what really matters, Team Corruption is who really runs the show.

    This is partly true, party not true. There are definitely ways man harms the environment, that's not in question. The over the top claims of the global warming cult on the other hand, that's just extremist fearmongering in order to stay in power so they can continue their corrupt deals, make money, and control the population.

    Could "we" do most of those things? Sure, but who is going to pay for it? If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense.

    People don't act out of the kindness of their hearts, they act for profit...that's fundamentally why communism doesn't work. You have to continually provide incentive or the machine breaks down, and there's no incentive quite like greed.

    Greed is the reason why the machine keeps turning and is why it seems so simple to do things like cure diseases or feed everyone. The issue is, the second you stop greasing the wheel with greed, the machine grinds to a halt and you can no longer do any of those things.

    We aren't really overpopulated, the issue is that there are too many people who are effectively worthless. Who bring little or nothing to the table when it comes to creating a basic standard of life and all of those other things you list.

    On top of that, there are a lot of areas that are ridiculously densely populated to where they could never survive on their own without the other areas providing for them.

    The reason things are as they are is because you can't control what people want to do, you can't force people en masse to do what you think would be better for everyone.

    Could we do some of that if the world's population were all slaves to a one world government who simply had to comply with what they were ordered to do? Sure, but that's not realistic.

    People want to live in densely populated areas that can't provide for themselves. People don't want to farm for themselves. Many don't want to be productive members of society.

    Effectively free will is what gets in the way of the utopian fantasies.

    Governments do not have our health and well being in their best interest 100%

    However, it's not in their best interest for an overly unhealthy population, so some of that is conspiracy.


    Well that was fun. Here, I'll add one of my own.

    Sean Combs had Biggie murdered. Biggie was going to leave his label, and he used Biggie's death to jumpstart his career as more than a producer and the "take that take that" man.
