One that tops my list (hard to believe it tops the moon one and 9/11, but it does) is that the Holocaust never happened. And yes, some people have actually posted that crap on here. Also, I don't believe in any of those things. Though sometimes those people get to be quite annoying.

"Conspiracy Theory" - Quick - What's the first feeling that comes to your mind? True? Investigative? False? Goofball?
Why is that?
Genrally it's "goofball" because we have been programmed to think of anything that's been associated with the words "Conspiracy Theory" as a laughable crackpot scheme BEFORE we check out what the theory is sayng and/or the evidence or lack of evidence. That way all that needs be done is associate the Kennedy assignation with the words "Conspiracy Theory" and automatically anything or anybody connected to those words is considered a crackpot. Taking the Kennedy assignation model further: The original report carried out by select members of congress showed the bullet that supposedly went through the President's skull, out his throat, through the front seat and into the shoulder of Texas Governor Connally. the bullet they showed was in pristine condition which is technically and theoretically impossible. When people began to question this they began finding other things that didn't add up. These people were "branded" as "Conspiricy Theorists" and made fun of in evey media until it became "the" thing to do - mock anybody questioning the facts presented in that case as "Conspiracy Theorists."
I think people latched on to this mckery becasue they didn't want to know that our President could be assignated by a government, our own or another, or by a segment of a government. It was much easier to get on with life if it was a lone nut who did it and he's dead so it's over and done with.
Same thing with James Earl Ray's assignation of Dr Martin Luther King. When he was apprehended, he had a suitcase full of money in his trunk. In prison, as he was dying of cancer, he claimed to have been paid by agents of our government and asked for a hearing. The King family also requested a hearing, but it was denied and James Earl Ray died without having his final say heard.
Those who claim there was more to the assignation are easily branded "Conspiracy Nits" and discarded.
Does anything I have said here prove that these asasignations didn't happen as the government said they did? No. And most people who study these things and develop plausible theories are doing just that. FIlling up the holes left by government investigations so that we can make up our own minds based on ALL the facts, not just the ones presented by one angency.
So, to answer your question, I would be careful not to dismiss a theory just becasue someone labeled it a "conspiracy theory" but look at the facts as objectively as you can. If they seem to make sense, ask questions. Inform yourself. If after doing so the theory seems ludicrous, OK maybe it is. But if it really seems to make sense and the facts that are presented hold up under your questioning - then MAYBE there is some Truth there.

9/11 is the craziest one I've heard. 343 dead brother firefighters is no joke and not something that anyone would blatantly allow to happen. Do I believe in conspiracy theories? About as much as I believe in aliens in Roswell, NM. The only aliens there are either illegal aliens, or resident aliens here legally.

What Type of Disinformation Agents Are On Q&A?
The intelligence agencies have their own lingo for the types of disinformation agents they send against everyone else. Also double & sleeper agents. Here is a list: Which Are Here?
AGENT OF INFLUENCE--These agents can be unwitting, under mind-control, or ideologically motivated to use their positions of influence to sway the minds of others. Examples of Agents of Influence are anchor men on T.V., journalists, labor leaders, TV commentators, academics quoted by the media, & some politicians.
CONFUSION AGENT--An agent whose job is to produce confusion by disseminating confounding information.
DISINFORMATION AGENT--This is a highly placed agent who passes disinformation to other governments and groups.
NOTIONAL AGENT--A fictitious non-existent "agent" which is created with a real-looking identity to mislead people.
PROVOCATION AGENT--An agent sent in to provoke & destabilize the target group to do foolish things.
SPOON-FEEDER AGENT--Someone who dribbles out legitimate information, this is often done to build up a person's credentials (bona fides). Lots of the people who are pretending to expose the NWO are spoon-feeder agents who provide a little new information, tons of already known secrets, and sprinkle in a measure of disinformation for added fun. Generally spoon-feeders increase their percentage of disinformation once they gain respectability. There are very few people really exposing anything of consequence about the NWO. This author has endured the loss of several of the really legitimate whistle blowers who were friends being assassinated since he began writing exposes.

The silliest conspiracy theory that I've seen is David Icke's. He claims that the secret rulers of the world (among whom he has included, among others, the British royal family, the Jews [of course], the Bush family and the Mormons) are actually Satanist shapeshifting reptoids from the lower fourth dimension.
And no, I don't believe any of them.

The craziest conspiracy theory I think I ever heard was that the Republicans could actually high jack the U.S. Presidency... They have actually done it! The proof exists in the Bush Administration... We all have to believe... How embarrassing!!!

I one had someone tell me that the small video camera on the front of my laptop was really a secret camera used by the government to watch me, and that it turned on every time a closed my laptop's lid, so I should try to point the camera towards the wall whenever I wasn't using it.
I laughed.

The craziest one I can think of was the one where 19 people with boxcutters hijacked a plane slammed them into the twin towers and caused them to collapse.
