Dp you believe all conspiracy theories, some of them, or none of them?

Question

why?

Answer 1

Some. Unless you think like a cow and go along with common belief how could a human not believe some of these labeled "conspiracy theories" especially if you spend your own time researching it.. The media can not be trusted to give you the whole story.

Silkie: JFK's brains came out of the back of his head. This means he was shot in the front of the head as well as the shot or shots to the upper chest. At least two shooters.

Answer 2

I believe that some may be valid. Pearl Harbor, there seems to be some very valid arguments made to suggest that we still do not have all of the answers to the failures of the intelligence. The Kennedy assassination in 1963. Look at the Zapruder film. If a person is shot from the rear the head should not move in the direction the shot came from. Take your hand and hit something which way does the object move. I believe strongly that the District Attorney in New Orleans was on to something because there were a lot of powerful politicians who wanted him shut up. But the film is the most convincing evidence of a conspiracy to me. Martin Luther King's assassination. Even the King family does not believe that James Earl Ray acted alone. He supposedly eluded authorities and almost got out of the country. There are few if any people who believe that he had the intelligence to be able to do that.

Answer 3

I agree with Antithesis as well. I also believe that most conspiracies aren't really as big as people think. I think a few people with the intent to hid the facts so it doesn't cause a bigger mess is pretty common, like the Pat Tillman fiasco that the Army created. The Army has always spun up the deaths of soldiers so that the parents have something to be proud of (I'd say the Army has made more attempts to convey the truth now. I believe its more likely a few people in the Army doing it though). Learning that their soldier died because he was drunk and shot himself clearly doesn't ingratiate The Army or the soldier's memory in any way. If this case I'm sure his death was called an accident and he was extolled for his contributions to his country.

Answer 4

I tend not to believe. I'll accept something as probably true if there's good enough reason. There's no conspiracy theory that has enough genuine evidence and rational reasoning behind it for such acceptance, of course, but if one ever did come up with the goods, I wouldn't dismiss it just because it's been labeled a 'conspiracy theory.'

Most things that look like 'conspiracies,' though, are just convergent interests. Some corporation or other probably benefits from just about every political decision or natural disaster - not because they conspired to bring them about, but because coporations are amoral constructs that opportunistically seek proffit. Almost any calamity or socio-political change offers /some/ opportunity for proffit.

Answer 5

Nope..............thats why I keep saying we need an impartial transparent investigation into what really happened on 911! Cuz I don't believe the governments theory of what happened!
Why was the fact that Moussaoui then now convicted 20th 911 hijacker was in FBI custody for weeks before the attack covered up?Why did FBIHQ obstruct their own investigation by denying FISA warrants?
The 911 commission report was supposed to answer the questions about 911 not find more!

Answer 6

I'm beginning to wonder.... because many things don't make sense or add up.. like why is it so hard to get border security... and why did it take near open revolt for Congress to understand that we don't want Amnesty for the illegals? Why are we giving Money to Mexico to buy listening equipment and spy gear?.. Why is there a huge highway being built across Texas with rumors of connections all the way to Canada?..... I'm just sayin'...

Answer 7

Some of them I believe.
Why? because some of them make sense logically to me. If I can trace a motive or piece together an agenda some group has or something, then it is easier for me to believe things that fit into their agenda...even if that group is able to manipulate the media into saying something else.

For example:
the JFK conspiracy theory:

Not to dwell on Andrew Jackson, but rather using that as a place to start....it makes logical sense to me that presidents who opposed "The Bank" aka. "The Fed" are not poplular with those people who did/do favor it (see "The Monopoly Men" video - google). BECAUSE if the Fed was to get exposed for what it really is...then a lot of private banks stood/stand to lose a lot of money. And the simple logic to me is that rich people do not want to lose a lot of money. (The Federal Reseve is Federal like Federal Express is Federal...in other words the Federal Reserve is NOT a government institution...)

and on President Andrew Jackson's tombstone it reads:
"I killed the Bank"

In his day President Andrew Jackson was able to stop it...(temporary setback for them)
So to me it is logical that the failed assassination attempt on him (2 barrel pistol shoved into his stomach but both misfired) was related to that...people who have something to gain financially don't like people who are stopping them from getting rich....

therefore assassination attempts on other Presidents (Lincoln, JFK)(who were opposed to the Federal Reserve) makes more sense to me logically...if I can trace a cause of WHY those things are happening.

and logically if some group had that kind of power, then manipulating the media seems to me like it is very possible for them to do also.

So I guess basically for me it comes down to if I can figure out some logical explanation for why things happened the way they did...then the conspiracy theory will seem more believable to me.

Answer 8

Some I can put credence in, because we are talking about humans with power . . . and too often those in power abuse it . . .

I don't ascribe to the 9/11 conspiracy theories, though, they are just too out there.

Answer 9

I believe in Occam's Razor. That makes most conspiracy theories untenable pretty quick.

Answer 10

We have conspiracy theories to console us for our lack of omniscience.
