Favorite conspiracy theories

The ones that seem as if there's the slightest possibility they might be true?

The government is watching us.

The U.S. government in WWII worked with the mafia to identify security leaks among dockworkers during the Battle of the Atlantic (when the Merchant Marine had the highest casualty rate of any of the wartime services).

Then there are the true conspiracies, such as WWI British Intelligence hiding the source of the Zimmerman Note from both Germany and the United Sates. Or the Black Chamber of Vienna, who could copy, decrypt, and reseal your mail (usually forging the seals or envelopes) overnight.

And if have not been following the Dread Pirate Roberts case on Ars Technica or other news sources, you should. It's Big Lebowski meets Big Eyes for crazy.

This is video-game related as I emphatically don't believe in more mainstream, government/society-oriented conspiracy theories like "Mexican Goats Hired By Martian Jews To Put Roofies In Your Grass."

But I'm pretty sure that Nintendo has been trying to ruin the Metroid franchise on purpouse because it sells better in the US than it does in Japan and by getting fans to not want another Metroid game it means they don't have to make one. The Japanese gaming industry, like the rest of Japan, has had a long-standing issue with institutionalized xenophobia and they simply just don't care that much about American sales.

The government hires people to create false conspiracy theories so the true ones get lost in a sea of ridiculousness. Seriously, can't you see some bureacrat budgeting for a little office full of people posting conspiracy rants all day?

I admit, that's a pretty great one.

Well, it's almost certainly true insofar as law enforcement and intelligence agencies put a lot of time and effort into infiltrating radical groups, and they tend to be some of the most radical people once they've done so, and that includes posting crazy shit online.

This is not as crazy as you think. Various federal agencies engaged in intelligence capacities use disinformation, especially over the cybersphere, in order to muddy the waters.

Very commonly used.

A ton of 'em concerning the CIA. I fully believe they did all sorts of heinous shit, although it's difficult to get specific because there's so much of it.

All the ones surrounding the Denver International Airport. I love those.

That the recent media frenzy over ebola was to cover something else.

Re: Favorite conspiracy theories

It wasn't to cover shit, it was to get Republicans elected in the midterms. There's a very obvious and easy motivation to hand for that one.

I suspect that government operatives caused a plane crash in 2001. But not the one you're thinking of.

See, November 12, 2001, was the day that the final vote count from the 2000 election was released, proving that in fact Al Gore had won the popular vote AND the Florida vote and thus Bush's presidency was essentially illegitimate. But at the time Cheney and all his black-budget bastards were high on a level of power they'd never even dreamed of. And that day, the vote count wasn't on the front pages because a plane crash killed 265 people in New York.

And nobody ever brought it up again. Did you even know there was a final count?

Marilyn Monroe's death. While I think it's entirely possible that she did in fact OD herself, accidentally or otherwise, the severe amount of shadiness from the people around her at the time makes me wonder...
