"The observation that conspiracy theorists have clearly never worked in project management holds a lot more weight than any conspiracy theory I have ever heard about. Winston pointed that out on a thread recently. " But he would say that wouldn't he? Clearly an illuminati plant. | |||

"That Barbara Bush (George W's mum) is the daughter of Aleister Crowley. That there are still people alive in the wreck of the Titanic. That the Roman Empire never fell and continues to rule the world. That Japan won the war in the Pacific and not the US." Those are tame. What about the Galactic Federation? That's a good one | |||

"9/11 was not the work of Al Queda" Perhaps not, but tall buildings have been designed to implode and drop ever since the campaniles in Italy started toppling into piazzas and squishing everyone in the 17th century. Ask an architect. | |||

"I was trying to start the Conspiracy Conspiracy! Basically all Conspiracies are put out there, or actively encouraged by the government / big pharma / aliens. Because the more people are worrying about 4G causing Covid or whatever, and the more they divide us and get us arguing amongst ourselves, the more they can sneak stuff past us. So all these conspiracy theorists are actually falling for their plans and doing the dirty work for them! " I'm afraid the pharma one is true. I figured it out after 25yrs and just before it killed me. Google the largest criminal fine in history. Then Google 2nd largest fine in history..... its grim af  | |||

"The HSE are actually funded by the Polish government to hamper British construction workers in order to enable Eastern Europeans to get all the work, and leave them in peace to get on with it. That's why so many of us in the building game voted Brexit. " My carpenter pal said he was voting for leave as foreign workers were forcing down his prices and taking all his work.

The list 'similar' words, not words that mean the same. 'Person' lists 'Customer' in the thesaurus. Not all people are customers. A freind of mine fell for that, and at school wanted to make his science homework sound more... 'sciency', so he pretty much swapped all the words for the best sounding one in the thesaurus. It failed. No one (including him) had a clue what his homework said. | |||

Someone makes an observation and suggests a hypothesis to explain that observation. They then test that hypothesis experimentally in some way, gathering empirical data. They retest over and over, gathering repeat data. That data is then analysed and the hypothesis is either confirmed or rejected. If rejected, the hypothesis is revised and then the scientific method continues in a cycle until a hypothesis can be supported by evidence. | |||

"Been accused of being a conspiracy theorist, turns out I'm a clairvoyant. "Nail on the head there in recent times.  | |||
"The white star liner company had 2 almost identical ships. The Olympic and the Titanic. The Olympic was involved in an accident with a military ship in the harbour but the insurance wouldn't pay to fix it. The ships spent months jostling around in the harbour the months before the Titanics maiden voyage. The 'Theory' and a plausible one at that Is that the ships were swapped, they sailed the Olympic to the middle of the North Atlantic to sink it. The 1st ship on the scene to pick up fleeing passengers was a fishing vessel also owned by white star liners . Just so happened to be floating around in the North Atlantic dokng nothing. Waiting?? I think they just had no idea It'd go down so fast and they didn't realise the lifeboats wouldn't hold everyone. Just a theory, but companies have done worse when backed into a corner. "What's even more of a surprise, James Cameron and his film crew just happened to be on hand to make a film about it. | |||

"I'm quite happy to wear the 'Tin foil' hat and say Goldman Sachs are always 'conspiring' to manipulate the 'financial markets' to ensure their quarterly profits are HUGE.

Thats like 'Goldman Sachs' taking out Medical insurance out on YOU, shooting YOU in the head and collecting the Benjamin's. But hey, Goldman Sachs are doing GOD'S work as CEO Lloyd Blankfein famously once said. Definition of conspiracy A secret plan by a group to do something unlawful ....yeah that fits Goldman Sachs "Didnt the EU force them upon Greece to provide economic expertise to Greece as part of the "rescue package" before their economy totally collapsed and then to the same EU? | |||

"Not a conspiracy theory but one I've recently arrived at. During the pandemic and national lockdown, I questioned Manchester's opposition as at the time, it didn't seem sensible. All cities were on board, yet Andy Burnham famously refused it for months, wanting financial support stating the impact on low paid workers in bars, gyms, clubs, shops. It's now reported Manchester City Council sold 9 acres of prime city centre land to Sheikh Mansour, (brother of Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia), for less than market value on rare 999 year leases, building huge numbers of flats, coffee shops, bars, gyms and clubs. Adding the above up, the conspiracy comes as, at the time there were no evictions in place - rents and mortgages were deferred or reduced, no one could be fired through furlough, no one could spend as there was remote working, property values immediately crashed (though now increased), all construction ceased, there is also the potential cost for unsafe cladding. So Sheikh Mansour, couldn't construct and would have income curtailed from all angles if people couldn't work, pay or go out. If protecting people was the national priority, it seemed an odd time for a Mayor to protest. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jul/21/great-english-city-sold-abu-dhabis-elite-manchester " It was so disgusting what happened to Manchester, with this land sold off.  | |||
