Questioning a few Conspiracy Theories
I enjoy reading about conspiracy theories, they make me think and try to look at what could be wrong or right with them. I find that a lot of them are really far fetched and it takes a lot of putting aside all you believe in to even start giving them some credibility. But who am I to judge perhaps we all actually live in a fake world.
But let me look at some of these theories for example the Lizard People, which is the theory that we are ruled by people who are actually shape shifting extraterrestrial reptiles. Nearly all celebrities, rulers and rich people fall into the Lizard category.
Now I really think that such advanced beings would hardly let themselves be filmed while shape shifting, but maybe they really aren’t that smart. But I did see a video about Mark Zuckerberg’s pupils sometimes appearing vertical, which is a sure sign he is a reptile, the images aren’t so convincing but what really made me doubt the video’s relevance is that at the end it says that Zuckerberg is not only a reptilian but is also David Rockefeller’s grandson.
Well I looked this up for a while and there is not one single proof of Zuckerberg being a Rockefeller, this kind of makes me doubt this theory, if it uses fake information to prove it is true, it probably is false.
Then I will look at the Skripal spy poisoning incident, Skripal was a Russian spy who was imprisoned in Russia for a few years and after this he went to the UK. Well his daughter was visiting him when they were apparently attacked with a poison named Novichok, by the Russians, a military grade poison, which somehow managed to not kill anyone.
This one is actually not a theory, something did happen, just that we don’t what it was. I think it was a fake attack nobody could be so dumb as to use the one poison that would incriminate him and then even fail at killing the victim.
Now this leads me to another train of thought, suppose the Russians knew that nobody would believe they could be so stupid so that is why they did it, only thing is they did fail to kill the spy. Would have been easier to stab him, unfortunately they have a lot of those crimes in the UK at the moment.
And now I have to go to the Flat Earth Theory, this one claims the Earth is actually flat and encircled by the Antarctic. So far so good, I have seen a lot of people trying to debunk this theory logically but somehow the people who believe in the Flat earth always find a loophole in logic and have a ready answer Which is good for them.
On the other hand I do have a question for them. I can understand an eclipse, as in the Flat Earth model the sun could be higher than the moon thus provoking a shadow when the moon passes under it, but what about when there is an eclipse on the moon? What exactly causes this shadow on the moon? And I have seen lunar eclipses, so I would like that one explained.
Could the Earth be flat? Could the Russians have poisoned the Skripal’s? Could rich and famous people really be extraterrestrial lizards? Sure they could, but I really need a lot more proof than what I find on sites that claim these things are true.
But there are hundreds perhaps thousands of conspiracy theories out there, I guess they are like urban legends, they start out with strange but not unexplained event, and people start adding things to it until it gains like life for itself and just keeps on getting more people believing in it until it becomes main stream.
Of course I have no doubt some conspiracy theories are real, but it is difficult to pick the grain from the chaff.
There was some conspiracy theories that ar fact now.. for example CIA's MK ULTRA mind controll project.. wiki has a bunch of info about it.
Funny I just saw a video about MK Ultra, the video wasn't too convincing, I used to read (and still do) a lot of magazines about conspiracies since I was in High School and that was back in the '70's, in those magazines apparently they were not theories they were facts, MK Ultra was one of those.
It depends on your point of view, a person will probably be more apt to accept a theory that more or less agrees with his/her thoughts than if it doesn't. I have conversations with my brother and he believes in some things I think are weird and impossible, and he thinks the same about some things I believe in, so the truth is nobody knows the truth just a small piece of it.
You are probably right..But human perspective can be easily manipulated.. thats why you can also never be sure about the"small piece" of truth.. thats just my personal opinion..
