    The flat earth one is just beyond me
    100%. I mean, when it comes to conspiracy, you first usually look at the motive. Whenever I’ve asked a flat earther what could possibly be the motive for agencies to lie about the shape of the planet, it’s usually a “well…well…it’s about CONTROL, MAN”. It’s absurd.

    Favourites: JFK and 9/11

    When I was a kid, the conspiracy theories of that era were non-political like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. 😄

    Went to the PJ show in Fort Worth 2 years ago and headed to Dealey Plaza the day before. There is no way Oswald acted alone.  If you go to the window he was in in the Book Depository he would have had a clear show of JFK coming towards him but waited until they made the turn and shot from behind.  No way.  Never believed Oswald acted alone.  Feel the new theory that the final kill shot came from the secret service's gun in the front seat accidently going off is most likely the truth.

    i would say im quite cynical about the moon landing.  i want to believe but i find the idea of having the technology to go to the moon and back over 50 years ago, while current technology companies are celebrating but getting folks into orbit around the earth.  suspicious.

    also the smiley face killer. haven't heard much about it recently but I know in the late 90s early 2000s it was a conspiracy theory about young men being killed near water ways and killer would leave a smiley face graffiti in the area.  there was a young man killed about 20 miles from my house that was part of the conspiracy theory when he was found dead near a creek after coming out of a bar late one winter night.  

    two NBA ones.   David Stern had the envelope with the Knicks marked so he ensured Patrick Ewing ending up in New York.  And this weekend Adam Silver orchestrated the Luka Doncic to the Lakers trade because tv ratings are tanking in the NBA

    I can see where this comes from though. Just a few errant calls that go their way, is usually all the points they win every game by.

    A better one is that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship is fake just to get young Swifties to watch NFL games and pump-up ratings.

    Which would totally incentivize the NFL to get them to the Super Bowl.
