Conspiracy theories

[MidnightFlyer]

I know a lot of people hate them

I'm currently watching a show on BBC2 about what really happened in 9/11, and the conspiracy theorists involved in them. So:

Who shot JFK?
Did Bush know about 9/11 beforehand?
What is really inside Area 51?
Who was responsible for Lady Diana's death?

Answer whatever you like, I look forward to hearing what people think!

A load of crap. These people think they know more than millions and millions of people around the world :roll:

Who shot JFK?

Lee Harvey Oswald

Did Bush know about 9/11 beforehand?

No. The CIA/NSA might have had the information needed to work out what was going to happen but it wasn't actually able to put it together until after the event and with the advantage of hindsight.

What is really inside Area 51?

X-Planes and other top secret R&D projects.

Who was responsible for Lady Diana's death?

The driver for driving whilst drunk and Diana herself for not wearing a seat belt.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Lee Harvey Oswald

Now that I believe to be incorrect. It would take one of the most skilled gunmen in the world to be as accurate as he was. Further, how was Kennedy shot on different sides if LHO could only ever have been on one...?

Thread closed. Moving on...................

If you don't believe 9/11 was a conspiracy then you are stupid! 9 people with box cutters didn't happen to be on the same plane with the same aim. They conspired to carry out the attack.

What didn't happen was a government conspiracy though. All the "facts" they spout can usually be explained very simply - they would rather it was the Bush Administration though!

He wasn't:

In the Zapruder film, the president's head and upper torso appear to move backwards after the last, fatal shot, an indication to some that a bullet was fired from the front. However, close inspection of frames 312 and 313 clearly show Kennedy's head moving forward by as much as 2.3 inches

He wasn't:

The fact that he was killed before he was due for trial puzzles me. I wonder if it was because it would become obvious that he wasn't the only one responsible...

He was killed in revenge by someone who supported Kennedy. In a country where gun ownership is encouraged, it doesn't seem unlikely.

My understanding is that he was hit once in the back of the head and once in the back so he was hit by two bullets from the same direction. As for LHO's marksmanship he was a marine and trained in how to shoot a rifle accurately. I have no problem believing that with skill and a bit of luck he could pull of those shots.

... I have no problem believing that with skill and a bit of luck he could pull of those shots.

It was accepted by most who knew him that he was a pretty poor shot, even though he was an ex-Marine...

Isn't that in itself nothing more than a theory/rumour?

Interview family/best mate: "Yeah, couldn't have been him, he was a crap shot".

Do I take it that they now have categorical evidence of all the actual facts concerning the events which occurred, as those who caused the events were all killed on impact and their views can never be known.

I am sorry to have missed this programme, but tonight, I have been spending a considerable amount of time researching into The Torah in the hope of answering two thread questions posed by a forum member.

Or were they

Surprised this one hasn't been mentioned either, that they're living peacefully in some rural part of the US on a FBI/CIA pension

Who shot JFK?

Got so p***ed off with all these ridicu;ous conspiracy theories some years ago that I combined all the most ridiculous ones I could think of, and wrote a song about them !

For the record my theories were

1. suicide
2. JFK is still alive
3. Ku Klux Klan

 

[90019]

Who shot JFK?

Himself.

is it sad how I instantly knew what you were on about without even clicking the link

I could murder a curry

Which one....Tim or Robin?

 

[ralphchadkirk]

Some of the stupid things 9/11 theorists come out with amuses me.

Firstly, they claim that the intercept planes were stood down. Then they claim Flight 93 was shot down by the intercept planes. The people who made "Loose Change" (4 teenagers in a bedroom) seriously think they have discovered the truth, against the might of structural engineers, professors and eyewitnesses.

My next door neighbour believes the Jews were responsible for 9/11. He believes that Lady Gaga is a man. He also believes that the moon landings were faked and that Nelson Mandela is a terrorist, and no, I am not in any way trying to fool around here. I'm being serious.

My next door neighbour ... that Nelson Mandela is a terrorist, and no, I am not in any way trying to fool around here. I'm being serious.

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, I can understand where he is coming from...

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist, I can understand where he is coming from...

Well for starters, he said that the blacks deserved to be shot down in the Soweto uprising....

 

[90019]

He believes that Lady Gaga is a man.

Common knowledge, surely?

 

[Scotrail84]

He was killed in revenge by someone who supported Kennedy. In a country where gun ownership is encouraged, it doesn't seem unlikely.

A man named Jack Ruby shot him at point blank range and like the Kennedy killing it to was caught on tape by a news team.

Her music is awesome though!

Her music is awesome though!

You what?!

 

[HST Power]

You what?!

I like her music!

 

[Lampshade]

How about New World Order then?

 

[SS4]

Her music is awesome though!

Now that is a conspiracy theory

Am I a lone Gaga fan on RailUK forums?
