Conspiracy Theories

Best ones youve heard or believe in ?

I'll kick off.

The Americans never landed on the moon on 20 July 1969. Too much evidence against it imo.

Sorry title spelt wrong. Could don fix if appropriate?

Best one I heard was when a guy told me that the money that went missing from the war in Iraq was being used to fight aliens.

The 'best' one i've heard is that all these 911truth websites are run by the government because 1/4th of Americans are retarded.

How about the evidence for it - you know, like the big ****-off mirrors that they left there, which you can still verify the existence of today?

Edit: Actually, it's possible that they weren't left on the first moon landing. I'll have to check.

I didn't say they didn't land on the moon. They just didn't do it in 1969.

I have two theories actually.

The second is that they did land there, but borked it up so bad that they had to come back and refilm in the studio for the public image.

Yes they did

Thats the beauty of conspiracy theories Gilly....prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Gilly · 24 Oct 2006 at 20:53

The beauty of conspiracy theories is that stupid people can spout off rubbish about anything they wish and then ask to be proved wrong.

it doesn't work that way. If you don't believe something then YOU post your theory on it with evidence that backs it up

Why don't you prove your conspiracy theory?

Asking random questions is not proof, provide proof that they didn't land that day.

EDIT: Beaten :mad:

Conspiracy Theries?

I don't usually point out any grammar, but it's the thread title.

THEORIES.

That the same evidence that ignores a load of basic stuff like parallax, Newtonian physics, and the fact that the Russians wouldn't have let them get away with it? This topic has been debated several times on here before, and I'm yet to hear anything remotely credible that suggests they didn't land on the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission and subsequent five successful missions.

There are mirrors up there that you can bounce a laser off, people who were tracking the radio communications were having to point their receivers out into space rather than towards Area 51, and every shred of 'evidence' that conspiracy theorists have trotted out over the years has been soundly shot down by anyone with two braincells to rub together.

Oh dear.

They landed twice in '69. Apollo 11 in July, Apollo 12 in November. Apollo 13 had their incident in April '70, so you think that they didn't land there until 14 at the earliest....February '71. Yeah. Sure. Got any evidence that comes close to supporting that statement?

As for landing and having "borked it up".....there seems to be a general feeling with Moon Hoax theorists that these guys were complete amateurs who didn't have a clue what they were doing. They were actually highly trained and clever people, and the arrogance of people that assume they weren't never fails to surprise and sadden me.

Hoaxing a whole moon landing would be much more difficult than actually getting there, common sense tells me.

Coca Cola invented the image of Santa Claus in a Red suit, it says so on their bottles at chrimbo. It's a lie.

Glaucus · 24 Oct 2006 at 21:02

the moon landings happend get over it.

1) the mirrors
2) russia believed America
3) several independt telascopes tracked the shuttle.
4) the radi waves from said shuttle.
5) the film footage.
ect ect ect.

evidance which holds up the "C" on the rock, thats it, pretty week evidance me thinks.

JFK's brither shot, by a man hypnotised and brain washed by the CIA . The film of the arrest resembles film off other CIA subjects that where tested on. Know I haven't reaserched this, keep meaning to. could be some truth, but more likley 2be rubbish.

wizardmaxx · 24 Oct 2006 at 21:03

OK not where I wanted thread to go actually. It was mean to be a light hearted comparison of ideas.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
