    I wonder how many conspiracies are unreal and manufactured by persons that are bored with their daily hum-drum lives, wanting to spice things up a bit, or by persons that tend to see conspiracies everywhere, especially where they lack essential information or understanding of what they observe? Or by people with hidden agendas, wanting to promote some special interest that may have political motives, like politicians running for office?

    Can you list what you believe to be bogus, fake conspiracies occurring in the past few of years?

    I'd vote for the guy on youtube who believes the Large Hadron Collider is a stargate for the return of Satan.
    No one is that crazy are they?

    LOL. How about Lenon Honor from this thread? This guy presents his theories by ripping apart songs. His hatchet job on Rihanna's Umbrella is so unbelievably fantastic that even the most dedicated CTer would have to laugh at it.

    The Workings of Evil. 21 sections. I got through 9 of them before I could take no more.

    How about the Round Earth Conspiracy?

    "Flat earth theory is still around. On the internet and in small meeting rooms in Britain and the US, flat earth believers get together to challenge the 'conspiracy' that the Earth is round." Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7540427.stm

    Or better yet, how about the Moon Landing Conspiracy?

    "Ever since man went to the moon—and still today as America plans to go back (via DIY, NASA or the next president) —there have been those who said we never actually made it there in the first place. Instead, they say, the whole moon landing was a massive conspiracy perpetrated by NASA using elaborate sets and special effects."

    i believe the moon landing hoax conspiracy is around a long time and i also believe it to be bogus.
    like wise i believe the 911 conspiracy to be bogus up to some point.
    of which i will point out in one of the 911 threads later.....

    Most of the conspiracys that have came up in the last few years have some sort of hidden agenda, or to promote , or to have a LACK of political essential information.......needed,
    and this is what i believe.
