Topic: Political Conspiracy Theories - true or fake ? - page 2. (Read 1433 times)

I know that belief in that conspiracy theories has become the main topic of interest for psychologists and sociologists since 1960 the time of John F. Kennedy . and assassination conspiracy theories whom became really wanted by the people . The main characteristic about his theories is to unveil "real but hidden"

When people find out that governments are hiding something from them ( if it is something big ) how can that same people trust that government on some little things ?!

The most conspiracy Theories are coming from US the most democratic country in the world nowadays what citizens of other country can expect in some less democratic system
I watched that North Korea projects how they feed people only with information they want ... and 10 year's old boy in North Korea thinks that their president is best soccer player , best chess player , best tennis player and he is going to live with that fact - sad story

yep conspiracies happen when a government are not being entirely honest and hide the truth from their citizens. And all governments have secrets they keep from their people. That is why so many people have so little faith in their governments these days. Even very democratic countries like the US.

I dont think that is less of a conspiracy theory but more like a truth that everyone knows. lol

The interesting thing about conspiracy theories is that sometimes they turn out to be true. Think about it, the watergate scandal was just another theory until hard evidence was discovered by accident! And it forced a US president to resign. If hard evidence was never found and the higher ups in the government manage to cover it up, it would have just been another crazy conspiracy theory.

When we are talking about conspiracy theories we need to mention this oil war's in the Middle East which are happening right now ...
I think that U.S.A is trying to make us thinking that they are going in that middle east to stop terrorist but the real goal is oil :s

everyone is nowadays running for own goals only :/

hey I also watched that documentary as well , like all the "first step to the moon" thing is faked , they try to reconstruction full expedetion , and made it to looks like same in studio ...

Its not strange, but the things happening around are strange.. but since we are not in power, all we can do is just sit and conspire about the things happening around.

High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, (HAARP) could be guilty for floods on Balkan in Europe , but they are now closing everything just 10 day's after floods is it strange ?

I love the conspiracy theory that the first landing on the moon was staged! I watched the doccie about it. It highlighted the number of the rocks which were really props, the way the flag stood, shadows etc..It really made me think that the world could possibly have been duped!

There are from conspirations to conspirations, some of them i think are true, but also there are fanatic people of this conspiracies, that invent some that seems to be the next sci fi movie than a real fact.. ,.

To me, arguing about conspiracy theories is about as useful as arguing about the existence of God. I haven't yet found a way to prove that God exists and no atheist I know has found a way to prove that God doesn't exist. There are a few conspiracy theorists that I laugh at, like the ones who say that we encountered aliens on the Moon and they told us to stay home or the ones who say we never went to the Moon in the first place. The problem with those guys is that there's no amount of tangible evidence short of actually taking them to the Moon that is going to prove them wrong. Maybe it's just another case of the fringe element making regular people who actually think and realize that the official story might not be the whole truth look bad.

That's pretty much the case, I think the bombings we went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan over are highly suspect because the confessions by the 'bombers' were given after essentially having it tortured out of them so I must be a conspiracy theorist too, what America has done when it comes to 'gathering' intelligence is essentially act as the Spanish Inquisition and wanted scapegoats rather than the real people behind the attacks.

Some conspiracies are genuine.  Some are not.  Some are only partially true.

Determining which are which requires study and understanding history, things most people hate.

It's interesting because the problem is the label conspiracy theorist has been used so much by mainstream politics as a 'bad' thing where you have to be a nut case in order to think there are conspiracies out there but I think there's a difference between believing in a conspiracy and having circumstantial evidence to back it up and then being paranoid.

The best thing to do when looking at this stuff is to actually examine the evidence rather than look at the scare mongering and read the text properly, in most cases you'll see that a lot of these people who are making stuff up will barely ever give out any real evidence and instead make accusations and presumptions. Think of it like trying to read through a scam and I'll use the free electricity generators as an example, why do they not provide videos of the thing working? Why don't they release the method of construction if it's such a brilliant idea? When they claim that investors have seen it why don't they have interviews with these people saying that they've taken a look at it in order to convince people?

This exact same logic can be applied to conspiracy theories, the more you question somebody genuinely rather than argue with it, the more you start to unravel their bullshit because they're being forced to explain themselves rather than pretend they're being persecuted or censored ( another reason why I believe so much in free speech for everyone, no matter what ) that's not to say I haven't found some really interesting stuff out there. For instance, during the G8 protests there was a lot of evidence uncovered by people who were doing some real investigations on agent provocateurs and it was found that there were police officers dressing up as Anarchists and starting fights with the police so they'd have an excuse to go in and arrest everybody, the evidence brought forward to this were things like they were wearing the same type of issue boots the police officers wore and there were videos taken of people actually stopping them and they ended up going behind the police lines when they couldn't do anything. There have been quite a few admissions it seems by police that they've been doing it.

So there's genuine stuff out there, but you just need to look at the evidence.

A monetary system designed by 4 people that owned 25% of the world's entire wealth (probably more that's all that was on record) that can not be audited...  is privately owned... does not have disclose their books.

It should be pretty damn obvious unless you're too scared to take your head out of the sand.

The world is today a complex and scary place and we are surrounded by conspiracy theories all around.. and these are the ones that actually turn out to be true.. Things work out without any reason and rhyme and stuff just happens.. It is best to leave the conspiracy theories aside.

you are absolutely right rigon.. People in power adopt certain practices and people across the world especially who are left behind call it conspiracy.. I think if they don't build some strict rules and guidelines, they wont be able to operate and then we people are only going to call them losers.

It would depend on the specific theory, some of them are pretty far out there...others are spot on!!! Those in power willing to do whatever they deem necessary to maintain control and stay in power is not really a conspiracy...it's standard operating procedure!! The conspiracy is keeping it secret who actually does have the power!!

Zolace If you like this kind of story's try to look arrivals u can easy find them on YouTube , they are Islamic way of thinking about the conspiracy T.

I feel kinda like James Bond when I read more or watch more stuff about conspiracy's
