Conspiracy theories

[McBain]

It's fascinating how people believe things isn't it.

So your saying information exists, but doesn't mean its true because you don't believe it.

Like... The Bible?

No I'm saying the Conspiracy theory exists, that wiki page exists to tell you what the theory is. It's up to your ability as a human being to check it and see it's utter testicles.
Theories are theories until they are proven fact. In cases like the Big Bang Theory, it's our best guess given all the data we have, but we can't say it's true. In the case of the moon landing conspiracy theory you're saying it's fact despite all the overwhelming evidence against it.

People believe what THEY want you to believe.

Never believe anything you dont see with your own eyes, trust only yourself.

I already read the link you had linked.

A little disingenuous of you there Dylan but you do get that.

You are being disingenuous considering you haven't even read your own links.

If you had, you would see that the wiki link you provide has all the conspiracy theories, coupled with the rebuttal, often from independent sources.

If you had, you would have seen that your earlier links are a faux news website and a trash tabloid akin to the National Enquirer.

But hey, I am the disingenuous one, aren't I?

The fact most people have a different 'they' unless deliberately messed with by a group wanting them to pick on a specific group probably means there is no 'They' unless you mean the ones trying to convince you there is the conspiracy of course.
It just means there is no conspiracy other than people trying to convince you there is one for their own ends, which is the REAL conspiracy.

Don't get so offended mate. Your links provide no concrete evidence only NASA fed rebuttals. I've read the links already today.

There's no need for upset you can have a discussion without resorting to this.

I put up links to NASA, you put up links to Wikipedia if you want to play the sauce game.

You linked the LRO page. Which has the highest quality shots of the sites there currently are. Then you link tabloid and fake news. Then you link a page with independent rebuttals. I am not sure why you are referencing the NASA LRO page, as it is showing the evidence of the landing sites.

And yet, you just offhandedly dismiss it all as 'NASA fed rebuttals'

To be clear, I am not upset, and I am not resorting to anything other than having done my due diligence. And this doesn't just extend to a couple of hours on google either. This is from taking physics and a couple of other courses in the subject matter (oh wait, I forgot, they are led by ex-NASA astronauts, so that must mean the math is all faked......)

 

[Dylan]

The great thing about the wiki page I linked, is it has all the sources collected at the bottom, you know, in the source and citation section. Saving me from having to ctrl-c, ctrl-v constantly.

Religion is a man made method of control.

That's not even a conspiracy, that's a fact.

 

[Gladystweet]

Are there are any popular conspiracy theories that you think are true or are likely to be true?

Call me a lunatic, but I am sceptical as to the veracity of the moon landings. If NASA was able to put men on the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, why hasn't it (or any other organisation, for that matter) done so at any time over the course of the last 40 years?

You're a lunatic...sorry...you did ask.
Thr Americans did go to the moon mate. The soviets, with a little more good fortune may very well have beat them, and to this day, the Russians are the only ones who have never disputed the landings ever took place.
Here's another little known fact. The moon is moving away from us. Tiny ammount each year, something like an inch per year if I remember rightly. The reason we know this is that every single day, someone fires a laser at the moon, and the laser is reflected back off a device that was placed there in the 70's by one of the Apollo missions.
And the reason nobody has been back? The same reason they stopped going in the first place...cost.
As with any endeavour, it has to be justified, and going to the moon served no more purpose. There was a time when they didn't even know what the surface was made of, and thought they might sink. But once the landings and subsequent missions took place, they realised that it was no more than a dusty, crater marked rock and after going on a few lunar rover drives and collecting rocks, it wasn't economically viable anymore.
Some 400,000 American engineers and technicians were involved in the Apollo programme. Designing the rocket, lunar module, lunar rover, space suits, life support etc. Then you have the astonauts themselves, their families and everyone involved in mission control. And to this day, not one single person has ever come forward and said it was all a fake. To keep something like that quiet would be an even bigger achievement than landing on the moon in the first place.

9 11 was not all that it seemed. And not blaming America (despite the many facts)

According to some crazy yanks- The queen is the head of a international drugs smuggling cartel.

.....there are some who think the CIA killed JFK. Whilst the odd conspiracy theory will be proved, I think people seize the opportunity to write books and make money highlighting alternatives to the fact. Lord Lucan is another.

 

[deipnosophist]

The JFK assassin and the 9/11 events should harbour no theories toward conspiracy. The facts speak for themselves
