Not All Conspiracy Theories are Alike

I hate the way conspiracy theories are painted with such a broad brush. For some, there is a great deal of evidence, others are clearly nonsense. Here is my list:

Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Chupacabras: No good evidence, and in fact plenty of evidence that they are nonsense and frauds. But, it goes beyond that. Say, for instance, scientists were to discover some prehistoric aquatic animal living in the murky depths of Loch Ness (and it is very deep and murky), it would be classified as an animal, given a Latin name, and it would no longer be a monster.

Crop circles: Debunked. I used to see them as evidence of extraterrestrial visitation, but debunked is debunked.

Flat Earth: Obvious nonsense and I suspect that most people posting flat earth stuff on Facebook are just taking the piss.

Moon Landing: Of course it was real. The Russians would have no motive to support us in a deception if it were a deception. Also, there were some follow up trips. Also, see The Big Bang Theory, the episode where they are on the roof bouncing a laser beam off the metal plate that was left there by Armstrong and Aldrin.

Kennedy assassination: Oh, hell, yeah. Oswald had some involvement, he did take a gun to work that day, but the kill shot did not come from the window of the book depository. I do believe it came from the fence atop the grassy knoll. My suspect is business interests friendly to Lyndon Johnson, who hated the Kennedy’s passionately and also was extremely determined to become president. Since it happened in Texas, he had connections both in the police and the media to make covering it up easily.

Evidence of this is that those business interest did, indeed, get the wider war in Viet Nam they wanted, and made lots of money on it. As to the Warren Report, I think there was a conversation that went something like this.

LBJ: Hey, Earl, I’d like this wrapped up quick. Oswald did it, we all know it.

Justice Warren: My only goal is to find the truth.

LBJ: You wrap it up quick and I’ll give you all the Civil Rights legislation you want.

Warren: Well, these things do take a bit of time.

LBJ: Don’t fuck with me, Earl

The attack on the U.S.S. Liberty: It did happen. In June of ’67, the U.S.S. Liberty was most definitely attacked by the Israeli air force. Many U.S. sailors died. I believe LBJ knew all about it and planned to use it as an excuse to start a Viet Nam conflict in the Middle East and steal all the world’s oil. Because that’s the kind of guy he was.

9/11 Of course it was an inside job. Just compare videos of controlled demolitions with footage of that day. They are the same. And building 7 was not hit by any plane.

Aliens: I want to believe it, and there have been an incredible number of sightings, but on the other hand, we don’t know if faster than light travel is even possible. Multi-generational ark ships, on the other hand, might have been able to make the make the crossing. Is the government covering up evidence? Quite likely. Is the scientific community covering up evidence. Far less likely.

It seems a near mathematical certainty that there are other planets on which intelligent life has evolved, but whether any of them have contacted us, I just don’t know.
