Do you believe in conspiracy theories and if so, why or why not?

Question

Please give an example of a conspiracy theory, either on the right or left or somewhere in between that you subscribe to. Please do not make something up. I want you to have a genuinely held conviction that the conspiracy theory you believe in is true.

People, try to be a little more specific with the conspiracy theories you believe in. For instance, the US gov't was directly responsible for the events of 9/11 or Martin Luther King was not killed by James Earl Ray, or the US knows where Osama is hiding, etc. etc. Remember I want to know whether or not you believe in conspiracy theories and WHY!!. I would like to see more than a quick off the cuff response but a little more thought.

I'm not sure whether I am in the right category here but I believe that conspiracy theories do have some validity and other than a one word, off the cuff kind of response, I am hoping for some intelligent, well thought out reasons why you believe in them or you don't believe in them. I don't think that's too much to ask for.

Answer 1

Throughout history, there have been conspiracies that have affected history. The Christian conspiracy helped to bring down the Roman Empire. Labor unions in the US caused certain laws to be passed to help the working men. Any time a group of people with a common cause get together to create change, it is a conspiracy. As for the kind of conspiracy you are talking about, yes, it is possible. It is quite possible that there is a conspiracy of people in the US who actually want a world government, with them leading it, of course. I doubt whether that conspiracy will get too far. I hope that the American public is smarter than that, although I really haven't seen any evidence of that. One thing I do know, though, is that special interest groups do control politicians. You can't get elected without campaign funds, and when a special interest group donates those funds, the politician had better be ready to repay them with his or her votes. That is also a conspiracy.

Answer 2

It's the most controversial case in modern American history. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill John Kennedy by himself, or did a conspiracy do it? And if a conspiracy did it, did the conspiracy include Oswald?
If you are like most Americans, you believe that a conspiracy killed Kennedy. And if you are like most Americans, you have heard a vast number of bogus factoids about the case.

Although the assassination of President John F. Kennedy occurred 33 years ago, the controversy over the events surrounding the assassination has never died down. Usually, where there is smoke there is fire.

I honestly believe there is something to the theories surrounding the death of JFK. There is just to much that doesn't add up.

Answer 3

Some sure, and a few no. For instance, the melanoma conspiracy theorists that feel there's a treatment that the gov is hiding to make extra benefit. I do NOT feel that. I have had melanoma two times, and at the same time I am now not officially medically knowledgeable, I have performed plenty of study. NONE of the choice therapies have any evidence at the back of them. In reality, some of the case reviews the exchange therapies furnish, have been persons taking conventional treatment while. I appreciate why persons suppose that. I imply, first and primary, psychologically, persons want any person or some thing accountable for dangerous matters, and its convenient accountable the gov. It could also be convenient to return to fake causal relationships. People take chemo and radiation and notice how in poor health it made them suppose. Then take a look at an alernate treatment and notice how a lot greater it made them suppose. Well, plenty of the alt therapies are well at treating the part results, however none of them deal with the melanoma. And so far as the greed factor... Not even near. Yes, pharmacuticals are grasping, however as a substitute of retaining again a treatment, they're going to cost such a lot for a treatment that almost all persons cant find the money for it. I had a bone marrow transplant that is the viable treatment for my melanoma and a few different hematological and vehicle immune cancers and sicknesses. That bone marrow transplant fee greater than the leisure of my combinded remedy over two exclusive analysis. And, I am on existence lengthy treatment on account that of it. And, on the grounds that the Medicare and Medicaid has paid for all of my remedy and social safeguard has paid for all my residing costs considering my first analysis nearly four years in the past, the gov is LOOSING cash on me and the remedy that most often cured me. We dont have therapies for a few factors. First, there are a few hundred exclusive forms of melanoma. Most persons don't appreciate that, and suppose the change is with no trouble in which it's placed. And considering such a lot persons simply name melanoma... breast melanoma or lung melanoma as a substitute of the scientific phrases for the exclusive cancers, it's convenient to suppose that. But, we nonetheless dont appreciate why melanoma is. We have plenty of hyperlinks, however the ones are correlational best. We dont understand why it occurs. If you dont understand what the situation is, how are you able to repair it? And we nonetheless can't become aware of a unmarried melanoma phone. If you cant become aware of a unmarried melanoma phone, you cant name any person cured. Thats we they name it remission. For any person to have a hidden treatment, actually hundreds of thousands of persons could need to were cured via it. I dont suppose hundreds of thousands of persons can hold that a mystery. I do feel *a few* of the 911 conspiracy theories. That is some thing that we can on no account understand the entire reality approximately. I do NOT suppose it was once an within activity that our gov deliberate, however it was once taken talents of. I utterly feel the persons within the airplane that crashed in a area attempted to take it down, however its too convienent that they landed in a area. And, I do suppose that the airplane that hit the pentegon was once shot down earlier than it hit to scale back harm. There is controversial evidence, however we can on no account understand for definite. I have plenty of sympathy for the households although. I understand it ought to be tough on them while persons say the matters they are saying to them.

Answer 4

You have to break the word up into its components. Con - that denotes Conservative. Spiracy - that has to do with either spirals or pirates. The way I see it Conservative Spirals doesn't make sense. The only remaining plausible explanation is, are you ready? Conservative Pirates! Yes, here I am sailing along in my little sailboat on the Caribbean; when suddenly and without warning I was attacked by Conservative Pirates. It was not pretty. I was tortured by slippery slopes and convoluted denials. They painted an imaginary picture of reality before ordering me to walk the plank! They wired electrodes into my grammar. Why, Mate, they even forced me to eat only Condi Rice. No Uncle Ben's. I refused do to it. Then they threw me overboard. Day's later I was rescued by the Mexican Navy. That is why I believe in CONSPIRACIES. It is the Conservative Piracy movement that is out to get each and every one of us.

Answer 5
