<p> </p>
<p>And I love condescension. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The thread is actually titled "Your favourite conspiracy theories."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you dispute <u>all</u> conspiracy theories?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you dispute Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated as a part of a conspiracy plot between members of the Black Hand, or do you believe the Archduke was killed by a lone disgruntled nut (like, say, Lee Harvey Oswald or or Timothy McVeigh) with zero connections to anybody else?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you dispute the Gleiwitz incident was a coordinated false-flag operation, or again, do you instead believe the job was the work of a lone nut (like, say, Lee Harvey Oswald or Timothy McVeigh)?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Do you dispute the 2001 attacks on the WTC in New York was a coordinated conspiracy, or, again, do you think it was the psychopathy of a lone evildoer (like, say, Lee Harvey Oswald or Timothy McVeigh)?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Supplementals to each -- might these "conspiracies" have each had earth-shattering global ramifications that directly-or-indirectly affected YOU, your family and your government? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some conspiracies <u>are</u> incredibly silly and laughable, and in-fact there are varying degrees of absurdity and ridiculousness in each of the examples I cited above. Yet most legitimate fully-qualified historians also believe, factually, that the three cases cited were indeed <u>all</u> conspiracies and all of them affected your government and your life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, yeah, it's fun to laugh at them. But, history has taught us, even those of us who stupidly foolishly ignorantly believe in conspiracy theories, that shit does indeed happen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And unsolved mysteries are great!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who doesn't love a ripping Whodunit?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is plenty of evidence in the case of Jack the Ripper, but we don't have a killer. We have historic suspects, we have some modern science, and many people like to assemble evidence, connect dots, construct theories and try to solve the case. Like, that's a bad thing...?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I grew up with a Guy Fawkes bonfire every November 5th.. Was Fawkes just another in a long line of lone nuts (like, say, Lee Harvey Oswald and Timothy McVeigh), or might it be possible he too was a member of a coordinated so-called "Gunpowder Plot" with co-conspirators?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honest question: Is it possible we -- you and me -- have been played (indoctrinated) by conspiracy theorists since before we could even read and think for ourselves and have actually absorbed many conspiracy theories & beliefs into our brains and souls without even being aware of them let alone questioning it? </p> -

<p>Re-watching the ABs vs. France RWC QF and looking at the idiotic flop Wyatt Crockett makes in front of the sticks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Frogs kick pen to touch, there's a lineout, then breakdown and stoppage for the French prop #3 who has a bloody gash over his eyebrow that the medic is attempting to staunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>During this stoppage in play, we see all sorts of angles in super slo-mo Zapruder film of the All Black penalty, and Crockett looks ridiculous in every one of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Camera cuts to Hansen, who presumably has seen exactly the same super-slo-mo Zapruder film that we've just seen, and we see Shag react by immediately issuing commands into his microphone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meanwhile, Crockett is again shown, and in replay, there are no signs of hobbling, limping, or anything resembling a groin pull.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Crockett is signaled to come off the paddock, and does so jogging, no sign of a limp.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it possible Hansen is saying groin pull to protect a player he just benched?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Discuss.</p> -

<p>Perfectly plausible. If Moody starts with Crockett on the bench it will add fuel to the speculation fire. We won't know until someone writes a book. He didn't seem too upset though, if I'd got the hook that fast I'm not sure I would be that composed</p> -
Seems absurdly harsh. Thought Crockett was having a pretty good game up until then.

<p>True. But that never stopped a good conspiracy theory. I'd like to see more iso-video of Crockett, it's possible he was signaling to the sideline that he was having problems and we never saw it. </p> -

<p>As this is conspiracy, I think its far more lilkley that Hansen wanted Moody there all along, but couldn't take that many Cantabs, so he took an already injured Woodcock knowing he could swap him out for Moody in the quarters. Later this week TKB will be injured when he gets sandwiched between Shag & Charlie F when he gets between them & the breakfast buffett & replaced by Andy Ellis. Who has been sleeping in a disabled shitter at Heathrow for the last 2 weeks.</p> -
<p>There was an article on stuff about the lady who was photographed covered in dust on 9/11. The comments section bought out more than the usual share of loons and some of my new favourite conspiracy theories.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The majority of the hijackers were found alive and well in the middle east</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The hijackers were innocent because they flunked out of flight school [I doubt they were interested in passing the hardest parts-taking off and landing]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fire can't melt steel, fortunately in the weeks leading up the attack tonnes of thermite was packed into the building</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was all to murder some auditors who were in the towers that day tracking down trillions Rumsfeld had stolen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A missile hit the pentagon not a plane.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The fourth plane did not crash but landed safely.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No proof of any of this was ever offered obviously , its interesting that people believe anything other than the simplest explanation without any evidence to back them up. Awesome efforts from the tinfoil wearers though.</p> -
<p>My argument against any conspiracy theory involving the government is in all your dealings with any government body have you ever noted them to be competent. Typically the standard is shit with the best you ever seen being slightly below useless and now you expect me to think the same group of people can not only pull off a complicated multi faceted task usually involving lost of people and a. not fuck it up and/or b. not have someone write an expose all with credible evidence.</p>

<p>Yep, if you look at every time the government have tried to cover something up its been a pretty easy cover up & they have failed so freaking badly (Watergate, Monica Lewinsky, etc), yet people still think they could cover up something as epically complex as 9/11. They have something that 5 people know they can't keep a lid on it, yet they can totally co-ordinate 500 people all lying perfectly.</p> -

<p>All the more reason to be HIGHLY skeptical when those same incompetent governments claim they know where the WMD are located and tell us it'll be a cakewalk, etc. </p>
