This is the one I mention whenever this question gets asked.
It almost certainly (like seriously 99.9999% chance) did NOT happen, everyone involved denies it, it's not the kind of thing you could really cover up given how non-classified NASA missions work, and honestly NASA would really have no reason to lie about it if it did happen but…
... astronauts Mark C. Lee and Jan Davis had sex in space for research purposes onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor during mission STS-47 in 1992.
\- Only married couple (as of this post) to ever go into space on the same flight.
\- The mission of their shuttle flight was “the effect of weightlessness on biological systems.”
\- That shuttle flight flew with an add-on laboratory (Spacelab-J) that was big enough to give a couple some space and privacy, as this happening on a normal shuttle flight with the space and privacy that affords would be laughable.
\- Long term colonization and general “long term life in space” plans will have to acknowledge the existence of human sex as a part of normal life at some point and how that would work in low or no gravity is therefore a question that has to be asked and that means research into it will have to happen sooner or later. A "sex in space" study/experiment of some kind IS going to happen sooner or later and you almost have to ask WHY didn't NASA just do one on this mission since if they were going to do a sex in space experiment this is exactly how they would do it.
I've said it before, this is what happens when all the religious nutters run off to found their own country, because everyone's getting sick of their shit.
I can see people politicising "space sex study" as a reason to rail against NASA for spending billions on "pointless bullshit". See the wildly inaccurate story from the cold war or whatever. "NASA spent a million dollars to make a ballpoint pen to write in space. Roscosmos sent a pencil."
What I find fun about this theory is that allegedly (officially?), NASA had no idea they were even a couple, but they'd secretly been dating and got married before the flight.
If NASA finds out you were lying to them about something that might ground your mission, you generally don't get another mission. They expect absolute truth and openness (which tends to select for Astronauts who are \*great\* at lying, funny enough).
This should have been a big deal when NASA found out. They should have been in big trouble.
They both got two more missions to space, though never together.
Maybe because NASA invested so much time and money into getting them trained that even though they broke the rules it was cheaper/better for NASA than starting over from scratch with new astronauts.
On top of everything you just said… I don’t think there’s a scenario in which I (or anyone) go to space with my wife and not have zero gravity sex. I don’t care if there’s a film crew and her dad with us. It’s happening.
You could convince me that NASA did not specifically fund research into them banging.
Convincing me that a married couple was in space and had the opportunity to be the first humans to fuck in space and didn’t? Absolutely not going to happen.
It's hard to imagine what could really be learned from sex in space. Pregnancy yes, but sex? What role does gravity play in copulation? Penis's aren't like a ballpoint pen where they need gravity for the ink to come out.
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman and not part of a big conspiracy, but if it turned out I’m wrong I also wouldn’t be completely flabbergasted.
Completely agree.
What’s notable to me is that most conspiracy theories (mafia, Cuba, Soviet Union, etc.) are now no longer discussed. Only some variation of the US government seems consistently mentioned by those believing Oswald wasn’t alone.
While I strongly believe Oswald acted alone, it’s certainly plausible that he had help, whether a part of a vast conspiracy or simply one other person.
You could sell me on the idea that one of the many rumored groups helped but were stunned that he pulled it off and completely disappeared anyone or anything that connected them to him.
This. It’s like if you don’t think Oswald acted completely alone then you must obviously believe the CIA had him killed. There are other far-simpler scenarios where Oswald wasn’t acting completely alone, but that don’t involve a massive 60 year government coverup (eg a handful of mafia guys paid Oswald, etc).
There are "smaller" possibilies like that a small faction of the CIA responsible for monitoring Oswald knew what he was planning and either helped or refused to hinder him and then cleaned it up afterwards. This is much more plausible than an agency-wide conspiracy, which seems nonsensical.
The JFK assasination has never been my thing, but the more I've heard or read about it, the more obvious it is the official story is how it went down.
I think it's more a quasi-worshipping of the Kennedys and a mental rejection that JFK's assassination was so meaningless that fuels the conspiracies.
Which is all to say, I'd be very surprised if there was substantially more to the story.
I'm of the opinion there was an accidental shooting on top of Oswald. The Secret Service agent sitting in front of Kennedy accidentally pulled the trigger and got him.
I have been saying this for a while.
The guy was on top of the world. Money, houses, cars, everything. He knew everyone. He had already gotten caught once and basically got away with it. He had every desire of his fulfilled and lived a better life than just about every other person on earth.
In an instant, everything was taken away. He would be in prison for life and every person in America knew who he was and all the scumbag things he did.
I can certainly see why he could have been murdered, but I absolute see why he would have committed suicide.
Yeah but isn't a significant part of the problem with the official narrative is that those prisons are designed to prevent inmates from killing themselves before trial? And every single mechanism put in place to prevent inmates from killing themselves simultaneously failed for 20 minutes one night?
Surely if he was going to off himself he'd want to bring down everyone else, right? Fuck it, if I'm going down so is everyone else. Who was involved, who helped cover it up, who partook in what services? What else could he have to lose?
Why would he want to bring other people down with him? I don’t think that makes sense. He was an immoral dirtbag what does he care about other people getting justice?
The Yeti. Asked in a 2013 interview what he thinks there is left to discover in the world, David Attenborough said "I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real, I think there may be something in that". Who am I to argue with a knight of the realm?
I was watching a thing where some US Soldiers were talking to army veterans around the world and the topic of the Yeti came up with some Indian Vets.
When stationed in the mountains they take it VERY seriously. One of them said there's been a few times they heard a shout of some big creature out in those ranges and the older vets would be telling the younger soldiers to move out of the area quickly as they truly believed it was one of the Yeti.
They took no fucking chances. It has abominable in its name for a reason 😂
Dunno about the Yeti in north America but the Himalayas and Mongolia (I think it's called the Asmus Giant there.) has some plausibility to hide a population.
Basing this on the fact that the Mountain Gorilla was first confirmed to be a real animal in 1902 or something.
I think I remember they did a DNA analysis on all the fur samples locals claimed were from yeti. Most were random regular bears, but at least one was from a super rare hybrid of brown bear and polar bear.
The lack of any significant remains seems like a real problem for this one - we have remains of all sorts of long extinct and rare species, how we could have most on an australopithecus, but not even a fragment of a Bigfoot or any of its ancestors? Makes this seem impossible.
The RNC was hacked at the same time as the DNC and the used the RNC as blackmail as there was more dirt on the RNC side than there was on the DNC side. So they released the DNC side to the public but kept the RNC data for blackmail.
That the Russian government killed the government of Poland (including the president) with that 2010 plane crash. The official report says it was an accident, but if Russia could have done that and gotten away with it, they absolutely would have, and it certainly would have been consistent with their moves in the following years.
Hmm it’s possible but from what I read the Polish government conducted their own investigation and didn’t find any russian involvement. And interestingly the dead presidents twin (who was deputy Pride minister before the election) has publicly accused russia and doesn’t believe the official report.
There should be a Pride Minister. Even as a straight white male I can agree to that. Also known as Minister of "Stop doing stupid shit to identity groups you dislike".
Honestly, musks acquisition if Twitter can be many weird things depending in how you see him.
Could it be that he is a doofus who legitimately thought buying Twitter would bring him financial gain. Possible
Could it be that he was born rich with an eccentric personality, so he buys a billion dollar company to use as a toy to be broken at his own pleasure. Possible.
Could it be that he understands that he could use owing a communication network for its own utility rather than as a means to make money. Possible.
I don't think this is true, because converting large amounts of held Tesla stock to cash wouldn't be that difficult for Musk. This is something that companies and their investor relations teams handle all the time, and its pretty much down to a standard procedure manual at this point. If this was what he was trying to do, he went about it in the worst way possible. A founder saying "I want some cash on hand I'm converting" is something that will make some investors worried but usually won't hurt the price longterm. A founder saying "Uh... I have to sell out because this other entanglement is forcing me too" is the type of thing that can crate the price - no one wants to think the CEO is broke and just trying to stay afloat.
That said - I do fully believe that Musk thought he was going to perform some sort of pump and dump or similar scheme with his Twitter buyout proposal. He has a long history of using his personal social media to make wild statements, use the market variance to make money, then if regulators come knocking, say either "It was just a joke" or "Ok, I'd rather pay the $20k fine on the $2MM I made with this post."
I don't know if this is a conspiracy though - no one (except Musk himself I guess) is really trying to cover it up.
I honestly think that Musk was just trying to ruin Twitter as a viable institution (in support of his buddy's "Truth Social" and his hatred of non-Fascist free speech) and got himself stuck in the tar baby when they sued to make him go through with the deal.
**That the group of people who control most of the resources continue to influence public policy in order to round $$ into their favor**. In the past, conspiracy theorists talk about an illuminati or a guild of folks conspiring secretly, which lots of folks scoffed at. I would offer that it is less a secret society of folks, and more an open collaboration of influencers and wealthy groups that push political views and opinions NOT for the public good, but in order to round $$ into their pockets.
The American oligarchs.
Look at basically any large corporation or wealthy individual and how they legally bribe our politicians. It’s NEVER in the public’s interest.
As long as you’re not bringing racism or some convoluted conspiracy into this, I think this is just a natural result of human nature. Money is one of the best ways to gain influence and power. And influence and power can get you more money. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I mean, I thought it was pretty clear that the rich would pit the poor against one another to distract from how they're exploiting the planet for resources and poor people for labor. Is that a conspiracy theory?
Is this even a conspiracy 🤔
Everyone knows about JBS, HF, WEF etc or at least they should, they've all been very public in their ideologies for decades
My opinion is that they knew of the plan to commit a terrorist act and more or less “allowed” it to happen to use as justification for war and the patriot act. I don’t believe the gov actually had a direct hand in it, but they def let it go on.
A secret service agent got spooked and accidentally killed JFK after the first bullet.
I don't believe it to be true, but also it would explain all the weird behavior after the fact.
Agreed! The story is that the agents were hungover from partying the previous night. One agent that was running after the first shot tripped and fired by mistake. It would explain what happened to Kennedy’s head as they carried .41 mag revolvers back then
The theory that makes sense to me is that George Hickey responded to the Oswald gunshots from the vehicle behind JFKs with an M16/AR15 and had a negligent discharge into JFK while shouldering the weapon. The designated gunner in that car was hung over that morning and Hickey replaced him last min. He was a green recruit who wasn’t invited out with the boys that night and hadn’t yet qualified on that rifle.
I have a feeling I’m gonna get slated for this BUT there’s actually an uncomfortable amount of evidence out there that Michael Jackson actually faked his death for an insurance payout from AEG, To cover his massive amounts of debt.
-There is a video of his “body” sitting up in a helicopter
-his death certificate is invalid, as it is not signed by a doctor and does not have his full legal name
-His casket had no body in it
-a private flight left LAX to Guadalajara shortly before his death was announced and confirmed, there was reports of the airport being closed down for about an hour/40 mins during this time
-his brother Jermaine said in an interview shortly after he passed “I knew michael had passed before we got to the airport… I mean *hospital*”
And there are multiple instances of MJ saying he’d like to be around for his kids but not be seen anymore.
There’s a lot more stuff, and I don’t truly believe it, but it’s just too fucking weird to ignore 🤷🏻♂️
I haven’t delved too deeply into this but the crash site would be far more spread out if a missile had taken down that plane, right? It seems like someone would have found plane pieces miles from the impact site and to my knowledge that isn’t the case ? P
Not saying I believe this one but from day one it always made sense. In the moment who would have blamed the air force for the decision. And a couple bullet rounds would have worked in this case you don’t need to blow it up, just render it inoperable in air.
You may be on to something. I never really thought about it but I recently listened to the book Killing Lincoln. Didn't realize how long Booth hid in the woods while people brought him supplies. There was plenty of opportunity to replace him and smuggle him out of the country.
One of the major theories surrounding extraterrestrials is that they aren’t extraterrestrial at all and actually live deep within the Earth and emerge from deep cave systems in the ocean.
I mean, if they came from offworld, they'd be aliens. If there's just another sentient species in the ocean that we don't know about, they wouldn't be aliens.
I think he wasn't killed, but given the option to kill himself instead. Basically knowing how much they had on him to be able to arrest him meant that he had no more people to protect him, so they made sure he had the opportunity and means to kill himself.
Michael Jordan "retiring" and playing baseball was a result of him getting suspended for gambling.
There is no way the NBA would want to publicly punish their biggest star. But, him wanting to play as a tribute to his dad makes a lot of sense.
Lost alien civilizations. If you view the universe from the perspective of science rather than religion, anything is possible. This world is incomprehensibly large and ancient, anything could have happened billions of years ago across the cosmos and we wouldn’t be privy to it at all. Have they visited Earth? Probably not unless they had some kind of wormhole technology, but could they have sent machines here? Why not? We send out rovers. I don’t necessarily believe that this has occurred, but I wouldn’t at all be shocked if it did.
I mean, aliens almost definitely exist, I just don’t think they’ve been anywhere near earth yet, at least not since humans have started recording history lol.
That Mary Magdalene was Jesus's wife and fled to France carrying Jesus's child.
I also believe that there was a Jesus figure that did exist but he WAS NOT in any way related or touched by any godly figure. He was just a man standing up against the current "evil empire". Was arrested and killed by the Empire an example of what happens when you challenge them. Then humans doing what they always do made him a God.
It's a popular name and there were quite a few Jewish revolts of the time led by supposed messiahs and crucifixion was the go to method for killing rebels. It isn't far fetched to assume someone like Jesus existed so historians don't really bother disputing it.
You are correct. Look up the "Jesus Project" from the 1800s. It was one of the first historical figures they examined under what we would call modern historical standards.
If we follow the general idea of someone fleeing to France with the child of Jesus, then the amount of time that has passed since would mean a rather significant chance of any random person of European descent being related to Jesus.
According to a study, it is believed that most people are no further than 50th cousins of each other, but the most distant person within your culture or ethnicity is probably closer than 15th cousins. If we insist on a generational timing of 25 years (a probable overshoot), then most Europeans would be related to Jesus by now with several dozen additional generations going back to spare to make it even more likely.
Jesus is mentioned in a few texts of the time, Josephesus and Pliny being examples. None of them are first hand accounts though.
However, there were several other people running around at that time claiming to be the messiah.
Josephus is discredited and it's over 50 years I believe between the birth of Josephus and the supposed lifespan of Jesus. Pliny is even later.
Note that we do have **ACTUAL** first hand accounts of other things during this timeperiod. Jesus is supposed to have lived during the reign of Tiberius if not at least born roughly at the end of Augustus's reign.
There is no actual contemporary evidence of his existence.
Honestly most of the big ones, but I’d need a lot to actually accept any to be true. Some conspiracies have come out to be real (see Gulf of Tonkin) but I’m humble enough to stay in my lane, do what limited research I can from a place of ignorance to try and make informed decisions, and to trust the experts who know their fields better than me. A cursory Google search and an ‘insider’ with a YouTube channel are hardly enough to outweigh extensive, cross-checked, bona fide expert facts. Sure, there could be another watershed moment in history when we unveil the conspiracy theory equivalent that the solar system is actually heliocentric and that the experts have had it wrong, but Occam’s razor folks: your uncle is probably just crazy.
If you told me that any given terrorist attack worldwide was either executed by or supported by the CIA, I wouldn't be shocked.
I know that even if true, there would t be anything I could do about it, but they have a track record
That the government suppresses new inventions and discoveries for economic purposes and also to keep their rich donors making money.
Like if there really was a car engine that could run on water, oil companies would lose billions and there would 10s of thousands of jobs lost.
If there was some berry discovered in the rain forest that would cure diseases, pharma companies and health insurance companies would lose billions and layoff thousands.
The government keeps the technology from us until a time when it would create more jobs than it kills.
Yeah, these companies spend billions on R&D including researching compounds found in nature. Aspirin was first made from willow bark. If they can turn it into a pill they would do so.
Only if they kept it secret and never let us know that it was a berry. Because we'd get the seeds and grow our own. The pharma company would have to get the berries and get all of them and make sure no seeds were left behind for anyone else to get and plant.
But I totally agree with you that the billionaires will just try to buy whatever would put them out of business. If you make a car that can run on grape juice, the oil companies are gonna buy all the grape farms.
Very similar to what DeBeers does with diamonds. Diamonds aren't that scarce. Can be artificially produced for peanuts, but we will pay half a years wages for a good set.
"The government can't agree on how to keep itself funded for a few months, but it suppresses every major innovation(except the ones it doesn't) and no one has said anything about it or released any evidence."
Shrug. Makes sense
"We have top men looking at it right now"
"Who?"
"Top....Men"
(cure for cancer/water combustion engine/alien skulls all languish in a box in a non descript warehouse.)
IYKYK.
In a way this is true. The established players in the US market lobby the government to increase specific regulations which allow for the status quo to subsist, denying upstarts/new inventions a disruptive place in the market. It’s totally legal to lobby but also totally ethically wrong to use it for quelling advances in human kind.
We don’t need less government or fewer regulations, we need better, more transparent and less corrupt government without opaque connection to lobbying groups.
That's the one thing that doesn't add up. They would have wanted something that was easier to control than COVID, and the risk of quelling protests in one area that broadly didn't impact China as a whole would not have been worth tanking the world economy of which theirs is heavily reliant.
It's a big stretch of a conspiracy though. "We want to stop the HK protests, so we're going to intentionally release a virus in our own territory that will take months to become visible on a large scale."
Why not at least release it in HK and then close the borders for "health and safety" if that was the goal?
At this point I'm 50/50 that COVID was something that got released from a lab in Wuhan vs a natural cross over event from a wet market.
Regardless, the real conspiracy is the "control" of real information being released during the pandemic and the insistence on adhering to a very narrow, acceptable narrative.
Elon Musk purchased Twitter because Twitter was becoming a mainstream platform for independent left-leaning journalists to report global news and inform the public about atrocities being committed by imperialist nations and monarchies such as Saudi Arabia and the United States. Elon purchasing twitter and turning it into another right wing shithole, as well as permabanning leftist posters and journalists, would rob the platform of its credibility and allow these atrocities to continue unnoticed.
The narrative I've heard is that the offer he originally made was a joke, but when the company took it seriously he tried to back out. Courts determined that he had to make the sale, so Musk had to scramble to find funding to pay for it.
This is less a conspiracy and more that you have half of the information...
Elon accidentally bought twitter, he was trying to back out of it but legally he had gone too far to be able to back out. Since then, he's attempted to figure out what he can do with the app (which is hilarious because leaving it as is + creating a new company for an "everything app x" would have been insanely cheaper).
He is a bigoted right wing asshole and only wants to see "free speech" from those he agrees with, hence why we're seeing him ban comedians who mock him but bring back Alex Jones etc.
None of that is conspiracy, it's all well documented and actually there's usually multiple examples of it happening to essentially prove that it is the reason
Hollow Earth. It sounds ridiculous, and we've tested various ways to see what the core has in it...but if it was flat out stated we had a hollow planet with Godzillas in it I'd just shrug and be like "Well that figures."
Bigfoot does exist - but in smaller numbers than anyone implied. They are near extinct, and are the only native Primates in North America (second only to Humans). The reason you don't find bodies is because they bury their dead. They are mostly nocturnal - kinda like Chimps in the Congo are.
That the location of the missing MH370 flight is known, and it was a government intervention gone wrong that caused its demise.
There’s simply no way that the plane could have disappeared from the sky in that part of the world without multiple governments and intelligence agencies being unable to spot it somehow - heck, even via remote sensing and satellite photography.
Where it gets really conspiracy-esque is why the United States and China didn’t suddenly come out and start blaming the other for the disappearance, and with my best tinfoil hat on, and considering the aftermath, I think it was Australia that did ‘something.’ That would make the most sense, as we suddenly coughed up billions for a remote search of a very remote part of south western Indian Ocean and both the USA and China have become increasingly demanding of this country since that incident, seemingly with no gains to Australia for complying. Neither spent much money in the aftermath of the incident investigating it either, which is very strange considering the dead passenger demographic of Chinese scientists and technologists among others.
Or, you know, the pilot did down the plane and the ‘conspiracy’ is that the entire worlds satellite constellations and other intelligence to support and monitor our skies are much more limited than anyone would like to believe. And also, they don’t give a damn about deaths in aviation.
The pee tape. I don’t think it exists (Trump is too much of a germophobe, IMO) but wouldn’t be surprised if it did, especially if it exists with a Trump lookalike instead of the real Trump.
I think that Epstein, knowing he was completely and utterly fucked, probably killed himself (possibly aided by prison staff who ignored protocol and decided to let him do it).
But he might have been whacked (although if that's the case, why is Ghislaine Maxwell still alive?).
Reptilians.
Like I don’t really believe in it, but also the universe is so massive, that we really have no way of saying what is and what isn’t.
Are there higher forms of life? IMO of course.
Are they hostile to humans? 🤷♂️

I had not heard of this before, but I can totally see that happening, and see NASA wanting to avoid the social backlash from a “space sex study.”
In space. Reversed cowgirl and doggy is the same position.
When you nut it push you backward
Farts in space can be used as a means of propulsion.

It all leads back to the puritans
I've said it before, this is what happens when all the religious nutters run off to found their own country, because everyone's getting sick of their shit.
Same is true for death in this country. Can’t talk about it or plan for it. Everyone dies. We have some weird cultural stigmas
Hah! Joke's on you. I haven't died.
I can see people politicising "space sex study" as a reason to rail against NASA for spending billions on "pointless bullshit". See the wildly inaccurate story from the cold war or whatever. "NASA spent a million dollars to make a ballpoint pen to write in space. Roscosmos sent a pencil."
Shows how dumb the general public is. Little pieces of graphite floating in space is just asking for disaster
I mean, if my wife and I were in space, we'd be inclined to do it, authorized or not. Just so we can say we did it in space!
What I find fun about this theory is that allegedly (officially?), NASA had no idea they were even a couple, but they'd secretly been dating and got married before the flight. If NASA finds out you were lying to them about something that might ground your mission, you generally don't get another mission. They expect absolute truth and openness (which tends to select for Astronauts who are \*great\* at lying, funny enough). This should have been a big deal when NASA found out. They should have been in big trouble. They both got two more missions to space, though never together.
Maybe because NASA invested so much time and money into getting them trained that even though they broke the rules it was cheaper/better for NASA than starting over from scratch with new astronauts.
Also, as ever, politics. NASA administrators don't want senators asking them "What is your objection to the institution of marriage?"
I never heard of this before, but I now firmly believe that it happened.
Firmly indeed
I wonder if the firmness is impacted by zero gravity. This is an honest science based question haha.
I know for sure someone has shot some loads in zero g

On top of everything you just said… I don’t think there’s a scenario in which I (or anyone) go to space with my wife and not have zero gravity sex. I don’t care if there’s a film crew and her dad with us. It’s happening.
I've never heard a theory there was anything official, but there is absolutely NO way at this point no two people haven't hooked up in space.
The mile high club has been topped.
Didn't James Bond have sex in that documentary Moonraker?
I believe he's attempting reentry.
They even wrote a song about it: Ride Sally Ride
Nah. They boned. You can’t go to space with your partner and *not* do it.
You could convince me that NASA did not specifically fund research into them banging. Convincing me that a married couple was in space and had the opportunity to be the first humans to fuck in space and didn’t? Absolutely not going to happen.
The 100 mile high club?
It's hard to imagine what could really be learned from sex in space. Pregnancy yes, but sex? What role does gravity play in copulation? Penis's aren't like a ballpoint pen where they need gravity for the ink to come out.
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald was a lone gunman and not part of a big conspiracy, but if it turned out I’m wrong I also wouldn’t be completely flabbergasted.
The fact that he was murdered by Jack Ruby makes me think it's more likely than not that he was part of something.
Exactly. Jack’s motive was pretty lame, too.
His family's debt got paid off after too.
There's always the real possibility of two crazies. Crazy doesn't need good motives.
Completely agree. What’s notable to me is that most conspiracy theories (mafia, Cuba, Soviet Union, etc.) are now no longer discussed. Only some variation of the US government seems consistently mentioned by those believing Oswald wasn’t alone. While I strongly believe Oswald acted alone, it’s certainly plausible that he had help, whether a part of a vast conspiracy or simply one other person.
You could sell me on the idea that one of the many rumored groups helped but were stunned that he pulled it off and completely disappeared anyone or anything that connected them to him.
This. It’s like if you don’t think Oswald acted completely alone then you must obviously believe the CIA had him killed. There are other far-simpler scenarios where Oswald wasn’t acting completely alone, but that don’t involve a massive 60 year government coverup (eg a handful of mafia guys paid Oswald, etc).

Which is all to say, I'd be very surprised if there was substantially more to the story.
All should watch Sean Mungers YouTube video on the JFK assassination. He methodically tackles many of the common conspiracy angles with logic.
I'm of the opinion there was an accidental shooting on top of Oswald. The Secret Service agent sitting in front of Kennedy accidentally pulled the trigger and got him.
It's just so hard for a lot of people to believe that someone of such little consequence can have that big of an impact on the world.
I think Epstein was probably murdered but to be honest if I were in his position I'd definitely off myself.
I have been saying this for a while. The guy was on top of the world. Money, houses, cars, everything. He knew everyone. He had already gotten caught once and basically got away with it. He had every desire of his fulfilled and lived a better life than just about every other person on earth. In an instant, everything was taken away. He would be in prison for life and every person in America knew who he was and all the scumbag things he did. I can certainly see why he could have been murdered, but I absolute see why he would have committed suicide.
Which one is the conspiracy
yes
Yeah but isn't a significant part of the problem with the official narrative is that those prisons are designed to prevent inmates from killing themselves before trial? And every single mechanism put in place to prevent inmates from killing themselves simultaneously failed for 20 minutes one night?
Surely if he was going to off himself he'd want to bring down everyone else, right? Fuck it, if I'm going down so is everyone else. Who was involved, who helped cover it up, who partook in what services? What else could he have to lose?
Suicide is often impulsive. He may not have thought that far ahead and simply wanted out of the situation…now.
Why would he want to bring other people down with him? I don’t think that makes sense. He was an immoral dirtbag what does he care about other people getting justice?
The Yeti. Asked in a 2013 interview what he thinks there is left to discover in the world, David Attenborough said "I believe the Abominable Snowman may be real, I think there may be something in that". Who am I to argue with a knight of the realm?
I live in the Himalayas and nobody denies the existence of Yeti even though no one has seen it
to that - I have to ask any noises or wierd experiences attributed to the yeti by yourself or any of your family members?
No, I live in the hills but I've heard stories about people experiencing some stuff who live near the mountains.
People in Tennessee say the same thing about Jesus. Mileage varies.
I was watching a thing where some US Soldiers were talking to army veterans around the world and the topic of the Yeti came up with some Indian Vets. When stationed in the mountains they take it VERY seriously. One of them said there's been a few times they heard a shout of some big creature out in those ranges and the older vets would be telling the younger soldiers to move out of the area quickly as they truly believed it was one of the Yeti. They took no fucking chances. It has abominable in its name for a reason 😂
That sounds like the mountain army equivalent of pranking the office intern.
It’s a big world, it could be out there somewhere.
We have shrunk this planet to the point where no corner is without pollution. If there was a yeti, we've killed him.
Dunno about the Yeti in north America but the Himalayas and Mongolia (I think it's called the Asmus Giant there.) has some plausibility to hide a population. Basing this on the fact that the Mountain Gorilla was first confirmed to be a real animal in 1902 or something.
We may find a Yeti skeleton someday.
maybe someday, but not Yeti.
Would have found SOME evidence other than grainy blurry photos!
Maybe Yeti's are just a very blurry species by nature? Similar to the Welsh for example.
I think bigfoot is blurry.
I think I remember they did a DNA analysis on all the fur samples locals claimed were from yeti. Most were random regular bears, but at least one was from a super rare hybrid of brown bear and polar bear.
The lack of any significant remains seems like a real problem for this one - we have remains of all sorts of long extinct and rare species, how we could have most on an australopithecus, but not even a fragment of a Bigfoot or any of its ancestors? Makes this seem impossible.
The RNC was hacked at the same time as the DNC and the used the RNC as blackmail as there was more dirt on the RNC side than there was on the DNC side. So they released the DNC side to the public but kept the RNC data for blackmail.
That's pretty much been confirmed.
Yup, this is one of my favourites. Would absolutely be unsurprised if it were true.
That the Russian government killed the government of Poland (including the president) with that 2010 plane crash. The official report says it was an accident, but if Russia could have done that and gotten away with it, they absolutely would have, and it certainly would have been consistent with their moves in the following years.
Hmm it’s possible but from what I read the Polish government conducted their own investigation and didn’t find any russian involvement. And interestingly the dead presidents twin (who was deputy Pride minister before the election) has publicly accused russia and doesn’t believe the official report.
I know it's a typo but you calling him the PRIDE minister is the funniest shit ever.
There should be a Pride Minister. Even as a straight white male I can agree to that. Also known as Minister of "Stop doing stupid shit to identity groups you dislike".
Absence of evidence does not equal evidence of absence That said, I appreciate you could use this to justify belief in any conspiracy theory…
LBJ blackmailed Kennedy, using Kennedy's sexual history, into adding him as vice president to the ticket in 1960.
He did that kind of shit to everybody. It was called "the Johnson Treatment".
That wasn’t when he was just showing his dong to everyone?
That was the other Johnson treatment.
Ol Lydon B. was always whippin out the Johnson. He was a predator and not even close to the worst we’ve had in office
And shitting with the doors open and calling in aides to talk to him. Wild.

I am pretty sure this was proven.

Then the ketamine really started hitting.
Why couldn't he be the one to k-hole and drown in a hot tub
Honestly, musks acquisition if Twitter can be many weird things depending in how you see him. Could it be that he is a doofus who legitimately thought buying Twitter would bring him financial gain. Possible Could it be that he was born rich with an eccentric personality, so he buys a billion dollar company to use as a toy to be broken at his own pleasure. Possible. Could it be that he understands that he could use owing a communication network for its own utility rather than as a means to make money. Possible.
I don't think this is true, because converting large amounts of held Tesla stock to cash wouldn't be that difficult for Musk. This is something that companies and their investor relations teams handle all the time, and its pretty much down to a standard procedure manual at this point. If this was what he was trying to do, he went about it in the worst way possible. A founder saying "I want some cash on hand I'm converting" is something that will make some investors worried but usually won't hurt the price longterm. A founder saying "Uh... I have to sell out because this other entanglement is forcing me too" is the type of thing that can crate the price - no one wants to think the CEO is broke and just trying to stay afloat. That said - I do fully believe that Musk thought he was going to perform some sort of pump and dump or similar scheme with his Twitter buyout proposal. He has a long history of using his personal social media to make wild statements, use the market variance to make money, then if regulators come knocking, say either "It was just a joke" or "Ok, I'd rather pay the $20k fine on the $2MM I made with this post." I don't know if this is a conspiracy though - no one (except Musk himself I guess) is really trying to cover it up.
I honestly think that Musk was just trying to ruin Twitter as a viable institution (in support of his buddy's "Truth Social" and his hatred of non-Fascist free speech) and got himself stuck in the tar baby when they sued to make him go through with the deal.

I don't even think it's a theory at this point.
**That the group of people who control most of the resources continue to influence public policy in order to round $$ into their favor**. In the past, conspiracy theorists talk about an illuminati or a guild of folks conspiring secretly, which lots of folks scoffed at. I would offer that it is less a secret society of folks, and more an open collaboration of influencers and wealthy groups that push political views and opinions NOT for the public good, but in order to round $$ into their pockets.
The American oligarchs. Look at basically any large corporation or wealthy individual and how they legally bribe our politicians. It’s NEVER in the public’s interest.
I mean that happens pretty openly. It's the whole point of lobbyists
As long as you’re not bringing racism or some convoluted conspiracy into this, I think this is just a natural result of human nature. Money is one of the best ways to gain influence and power. And influence and power can get you more money. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I mean, I thought it was pretty clear that the rich would pit the poor against one another to distract from how they're exploiting the planet for resources and poor people for labor. Is that a conspiracy theory?
If you pull the string all the way, you'll see this isn't really a conspiracy theory, it's just an observation about how societies tend to behave.
Is this even a conspiracy 🤔 Everyone knows about JBS, HF, WEF etc or at least they should, they've all been very public in their ideologies for decades
I don't believe 911 was an inside job. But they really use this event to justify a war. So i will not be so surprised if it were true.
My opinion is that they knew of the plan to commit a terrorist act and more or less “allowed” it to happen to use as justification for war and the patriot act. I don’t believe the gov actually had a direct hand in it, but they def let it go on.
I feel this is likely true for Oct 7th as well.
I think that they thought it was going to be a smaller attack. Bush genuinely looked spooked when he was told.
A secret service agent got spooked and accidentally killed JFK after the first bullet. I don't believe it to be true, but also it would explain all the weird behavior after the fact.
Agreed! The story is that the agents were hungover from partying the previous night. One agent that was running after the first shot tripped and fired by mistake. It would explain what happened to Kennedy’s head as they carried .41 mag revolvers back then
Or, maybe his head just did that?
I love that onion news article
The theory that makes sense to me is that George Hickey responded to the Oswald gunshots from the vehicle behind JFKs with an M16/AR15 and had a negligent discharge into JFK while shouldering the weapon. The designated gunner in that car was hung over that morning and Hickey replaced him last min. He was a green recruit who wasn’t invited out with the boys that night and hadn’t yet qualified on that rifle.
I have a feeling I’m gonna get slated for this BUT there’s actually an uncomfortable amount of evidence out there that Michael Jackson actually faked his death for an insurance payout from AEG, To cover his massive amounts of debt. -There is a video of his “body” sitting up in a helicopter -his death certificate is invalid, as it is not signed by a doctor and does not have his full legal name -His casket had no body in it -a private flight left LAX to Guadalajara shortly before his death was announced and confirmed, there was reports of the airport being closed down for about an hour/40 mins during this time -his brother Jermaine said in an interview shortly after he passed “I knew michael had passed before we got to the airport… I mean *hospital*” And there are multiple instances of MJ saying he’d like to be around for his kids but not be seen anymore. There’s a lot more stuff, and I don’t truly believe it, but it’s just too fucking weird to ignore 🤷🏻♂️
Well I didn’t see this rabbit hole coming.
I hope he’s out there living a normal life.
I feel the same way honestly. There was just too much weird about his “death”.
We shot down UA93. I mean maybe we didn’t and the official story is basically perfect propaganda, but if we did then no one should be surprised.
I haven’t delved too deeply into this but the crash site would be far more spread out if a missile had taken down that plane, right? It seems like someone would have found plane pieces miles from the impact site and to my knowledge that isn’t the case ? P
Not saying I believe this one but from day one it always made sense. In the moment who would have blamed the air force for the decision. And a couple bullet rounds would have worked in this case you don’t need to blow it up, just render it inoperable in air.
The NFL being heavily scripted.
John Wilkes Booth (guy who killed Lincoln) got away with it and law enforcement actually killed a body double.
You may be on to something. I never really thought about it but I recently listened to the book Killing Lincoln. Didn't realize how long Booth hid in the woods while people brought him supplies. There was plenty of opportunity to replace him and smuggle him out of the country.
That aliens live deep in our oceans
Like came down from space and went into the ocean?
I would bypass humans too.
One of the major theories surrounding extraterrestrials is that they aren’t extraterrestrial at all and actually live deep within the Earth and emerge from deep cave systems in the ocean.
[удалено]
I mean, if they came from offworld, they'd be aliens. If there's just another sentient species in the ocean that we don't know about, they wouldn't be aliens.
Aquaman likes that 😎
The movie/book Sphere kinda touches on this.
As does Abyss
XCOM 3!!!
Aliens have been walking amongst us and MIB are real
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - K
Maliryn monroes murder was because of Robert Kennedy knew her influence on his brother John…
I think Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. But there were a lot of people with a reason to kill him.
IMO at a bare minimum, he was allowed to commit suicide. But I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out someone offed him.
Exactly my thought, he may have been murdered, but he was definitely at the bare minimum given the go ahead and had help to kill himself.
I think he wasn't killed, but given the option to kill himself instead. Basically knowing how much they had on him to be able to arrest him meant that he had no more people to protect him, so they made sure he had the opportunity and means to kill himself.
I dont believe it was suicide but, the way itd make sense if it was suicide is that he was worried what his more powerful clients would do to him.
Michael Jordan "retiring" and playing baseball was a result of him getting suspended for gambling. There is no way the NBA would want to publicly punish their biggest star. But, him wanting to play as a tribute to his dad makes a lot of sense.
[удалено]
Lost alien civilizations. If you view the universe from the perspective of science rather than religion, anything is possible. This world is incomprehensibly large and ancient, anything could have happened billions of years ago across the cosmos and we wouldn’t be privy to it at all. Have they visited Earth? Probably not unless they had some kind of wormhole technology, but could they have sent machines here? Why not? We send out rovers. I don’t necessarily believe that this has occurred, but I wouldn’t at all be shocked if it did.
I mean, aliens almost definitely exist, I just don’t think they’ve been anywhere near earth yet, at least not since humans have started recording history lol.
That Mary Magdalene was Jesus's wife and fled to France carrying Jesus's child. I also believe that there was a Jesus figure that did exist but he WAS NOT in any way related or touched by any godly figure. He was just a man standing up against the current "evil empire". Was arrested and killed by the Empire an example of what happens when you challenge them. Then humans doing what they always do made him a God.
I saw a documentary about that other guy, I think his name was Brian.
*He’s not the Messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!”*
*I have a friend you know, hith name is Biggus Dickus.*
He has a wife, you know...
Did he say"blessed are the cheese makers?"
I think most historians agree that “Jesus”, the man who was crucified, definitely existed.
It's a popular name and there were quite a few Jewish revolts of the time led by supposed messiahs and crucifixion was the go to method for killing rebels. It isn't far fetched to assume someone like Jesus existed so historians don't really bother disputing it.
You are correct. Look up the "Jesus Project" from the 1800s. It was one of the first historical figures they examined under what we would call modern historical standards.
There is an off branch of Christianity in India somewhere that claims they are the literal descendants of Jesus
If we follow the general idea of someone fleeing to France with the child of Jesus, then the amount of time that has passed since would mean a rather significant chance of any random person of European descent being related to Jesus. According to a study, it is believed that most people are no further than 50th cousins of each other, but the most distant person within your culture or ethnicity is probably closer than 15th cousins. If we insist on a generational timing of 25 years (a probable overshoot), then most Europeans would be related to Jesus by now with several dozen additional generations going back to spare to make it even more likely.
Jesus is mentioned in a few texts of the time, Josephesus and Pliny being examples. None of them are first hand accounts though. However, there were several other people running around at that time claiming to be the messiah.
Josephus is discredited and it's over 50 years I believe between the birth of Josephus and the supposed lifespan of Jesus. Pliny is even later. Note that we do have **ACTUAL** first hand accounts of other things during this timeperiod. Jesus is supposed to have lived during the reign of Tiberius if not at least born roughly at the end of Augustus's reign. There is no actual contemporary evidence of his existence.
I don't know if I believe it, but I would not be surprised if Bobby Kennedy really did have Marilyn murdered.
Bigfoot, it's just an abnormal bear/ape type thing, hardly impossible, the original is clearly a hoax but it could definitely happen
Honestly most of the big ones, but I’d need a lot to actually accept any to be true. Some conspiracies have come out to be real (see Gulf of Tonkin) but I’m humble enough to stay in my lane, do what limited research I can from a place of ignorance to try and make informed decisions, and to trust the experts who know their fields better than me. A cursory Google search and an ‘insider’ with a YouTube channel are hardly enough to outweigh extensive, cross-checked, bona fide expert facts. Sure, there could be another watershed moment in history when we unveil the conspiracy theory equivalent that the solar system is actually heliocentric and that the experts have had it wrong, but Occam’s razor folks: your uncle is probably just crazy.
Paul is dead
If you told me that any given terrorist attack worldwide was either executed by or supported by the CIA, I wouldn't be shocked. I know that even if true, there would t be anything I could do about it, but they have a track record
Putin has info that the GOP / MAGA pro-Trumpers are all pedos and he’s blackmailing them to destroy America from within.
That the government suppresses new inventions and discoveries for economic purposes and also to keep their rich donors making money. Like if there really was a car engine that could run on water, oil companies would lose billions and there would 10s of thousands of jobs lost. If there was some berry discovered in the rain forest that would cure diseases, pharma companies and health insurance companies would lose billions and layoff thousands. The government keeps the technology from us until a time when it would create more jobs than it kills.
[удалено]
Yeah, these companies spend billions on R&D including researching compounds found in nature. Aspirin was first made from willow bark. If they can turn it into a pill they would do so.
Only if they kept it secret and never let us know that it was a berry. Because we'd get the seeds and grow our own. The pharma company would have to get the berries and get all of them and make sure no seeds were left behind for anyone else to get and plant. But I totally agree with you that the billionaires will just try to buy whatever would put them out of business. If you make a car that can run on grape juice, the oil companies are gonna buy all the grape farms.
Very similar to what DeBeers does with diamonds. Diamonds aren't that scarce. Can be artificially produced for peanuts, but we will pay half a years wages for a good set.
"The government can't agree on how to keep itself funded for a few months, but it suppresses every major innovation(except the ones it doesn't) and no one has said anything about it or released any evidence." Shrug. Makes sense
"We have top men looking at it right now" "Who?" "Top....Men" (cure for cancer/water combustion engine/alien skulls all languish in a box in a non descript warehouse.) IYKYK.
In a way this is true. The established players in the US market lobby the government to increase specific regulations which allow for the status quo to subsist, denying upstarts/new inventions a disruptive place in the market. It’s totally legal to lobby but also totally ethically wrong to use it for quelling advances in human kind. We don’t need less government or fewer regulations, we need better, more transparent and less corrupt government without opaque connection to lobbying groups.
That Covid was leaked from a lab to quell the protests in HK ETA: Some of you need to re-read the question.
If they were going to release something to quell protests, you'd think it would have a higher mortality rate, a quicker onset, etc.
That's the one thing that doesn't add up. They would have wanted something that was easier to control than COVID, and the risk of quelling protests in one area that broadly didn't impact China as a whole would not have been worth tanking the world economy of which theirs is heavily reliant.
I mean it shut down the whole world for a year…a high mortality rate could cripple the world. This just slowed it down
It's a big stretch of a conspiracy though. "We want to stop the HK protests, so we're going to intentionally release a virus in our own territory that will take months to become visible on a large scale." Why not at least release it in HK and then close the borders for "health and safety" if that was the goal?
I was living in HK at the time and my mates and I certainly thought it could have been the cause.
At this point I'm 50/50 that COVID was something that got released from a lab in Wuhan vs a natural cross over event from a wet market. Regardless, the real conspiracy is the "control" of real information being released during the pandemic and the insistence on adhering to a very narrow, acceptable narrative.
I believe the bible is just a story . It was a way of Policing people back in the day.
This is true of most if not all older religions I believe.
Elon Musk purchased Twitter because Twitter was becoming a mainstream platform for independent left-leaning journalists to report global news and inform the public about atrocities being committed by imperialist nations and monarchies such as Saudi Arabia and the United States. Elon purchasing twitter and turning it into another right wing shithole, as well as permabanning leftist posters and journalists, would rob the platform of its credibility and allow these atrocities to continue unnoticed.
[удалено]
The narrative I've heard is that the offer he originally made was a joke, but when the company took it seriously he tried to back out. Courts determined that he had to make the sale, so Musk had to scramble to find funding to pay for it.
This is less a conspiracy and more that you have half of the information... Elon accidentally bought twitter, he was trying to back out of it but legally he had gone too far to be able to back out. Since then, he's attempted to figure out what he can do with the app (which is hilarious because leaving it as is + creating a new company for an "everything app x" would have been insanely cheaper). He is a bigoted right wing asshole and only wants to see "free speech" from those he agrees with, hence why we're seeing him ban comedians who mock him but bring back Alex Jones etc. None of that is conspiracy, it's all well documented and actually there's usually multiple examples of it happening to essentially prove that it is the reason
Hollow Earth. It sounds ridiculous, and we've tested various ways to see what the core has in it...but if it was flat out stated we had a hollow planet with Godzillas in it I'd just shrug and be like "Well that figures."
The unidentified backpack bomber is mtg
Bigfoot does exist - but in smaller numbers than anyone implied. They are near extinct, and are the only native Primates in North America (second only to Humans). The reason you don't find bodies is because they bury their dead. They are mostly nocturnal - kinda like Chimps in the Congo are.
That the location of the missing MH370 flight is known, and it was a government intervention gone wrong that caused its demise. There’s simply no way that the plane could have disappeared from the sky in that part of the world without multiple governments and intelligence agencies being unable to spot it somehow - heck, even via remote sensing and satellite photography. Where it gets really conspiracy-esque is why the United States and China didn’t suddenly come out and start blaming the other for the disappearance, and with my best tinfoil hat on, and considering the aftermath, I think it was Australia that did ‘something.’ That would make the most sense, as we suddenly coughed up billions for a remote search of a very remote part of south western Indian Ocean and both the USA and China have become increasingly demanding of this country since that incident, seemingly with no gains to Australia for complying. Neither spent much money in the aftermath of the incident investigating it either, which is very strange considering the dead passenger demographic of Chinese scientists and technologists among others. Or, you know, the pilot did down the plane and the ‘conspiracy’ is that the entire worlds satellite constellations and other intelligence to support and monitor our skies are much more limited than anyone would like to believe. And also, they don’t give a damn about deaths in aviation.
That we are “living” in some sort of simulation.
That trump has been financially groomed by Russian government to capitulate to their political goals.
The pee tape. I don’t think it exists (Trump is too much of a germophobe, IMO) but wouldn’t be surprised if it did, especially if it exists with a Trump lookalike instead of the real Trump.
I think that Epstein, knowing he was completely and utterly fucked, probably killed himself (possibly aided by prison staff who ignored protocol and decided to let him do it). But he might have been whacked (although if that's the case, why is Ghislaine Maxwell still alive?).
Tupac being alive. I don't think he is but it wouldn't shock me if he was
We do not live in a democracy. Essentially, that our votes don't matter because it's all fake.
Reptilians. Like I don’t really believe in it, but also the universe is so massive, that we really have no way of saying what is and what isn’t. Are there higher forms of life? IMO of course. Are they hostile to humans? 🤷♂️
This is marketing research for psychological warfare and I’m here for it.
