    Yeah me too.. never heard that one!!!
    It's basically an insanely crazy conspiracy that those in power and former Presidents of the US are reptilian aliens that have been controlling how the world is run for a long time, flying or teleporting from their hollow base; the moon. :rolleyes:

    When it happened I thought, oh S... that building is going to decapitate and cause even more deaths to the people on the streets.

    but when it imploded like it did, I thought it was very strange

    In reference to the Olympics, it probably doesn't help that there's been films and books about SAMs shooting down planes over London, there was one where a nuclear bomb went off in London though I can't remember what film that was. 9/11 itself was most likely copied from a film where someone tries to fly a plane into the twin towers. Both conspiracy theorists and actual terrorists aren't that original.

    And why exactly didn't they have the technology? There have been five more manned landings and they left some trash up there which can still be seen today.

    Well, in addition to the fire there was maybe ... three passenger planes crashing into it?!
    It's the friggen 60's ofcourse there's not the technology, there were hardly even computers and mobiles yet we can send men to the moon, I'm not believing that for a second. And how come more recent missions which have had better technology have failed?

    If you read into it, many engineers have said that from that damage alone it wouldn't be enough to totally demolish it like it did, even you can admit that it did look like a controlled demolition in the way it fell.

    http://www.debunking911.com/index.html - Get reading. It debunks everything you've said here.
    I started reading the bit about sound and it's just based on opinions, what ifs, and coulds. No point.

    The 9/11 conspiracy is the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

    It really is.

    Some make sense to me, like the JFK one, when you look at all the evidence for and against. (That doesn't mean that I believe the theory is right, just that I could understand those who think it's plausible.)

    I read one once which accused the US government of blowing up part of some sea defences, to worsen the effects of Hurricane Katrina and flood some areas deliberately...seems ridiculous to me! :-/

    In the frickin 40's German engineers shot the first manmade objects into space, in the frickin 50's mankind managed to supply whole regions with energy generated out of only several hundred kg of one metal (Uranium) and in the frickin 60's men went to the moon. Simple as that.

    Would you care explaining to me how satellites can spot the footsteps of the astronauts in the moon dust or how all the stuff left up there travellel to this point?

    You are still not able to explain how all the thousands of people who worked on the moon landing can be morally corrupt enough to live with a lie like this and no one ever opened his mouth to speak the truth.

    If you read into it, many engineers have said that from that damage alone it wouldn't be enough to totally demolish it like it did, even you can admit that it did look like a controlled demolition in the way it fell.
    No, it didn't look like that. It's not a pencil which tilts over but a building and buildings can crumble due to their own weight.

    People do acquit them as nonsense but false flag things aren't new. Look at the Nazis and setting fire to the Reichstag, blaming it on the commies.
    I don't think you should always accept the official reports unquestionably.

    Most of it is the result of the American Christian Right, which has spread all over,

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaRouche_movement
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Birch_Society

    When you get down through all the crap you eventually come to the revleaing that its all a big satanist plot, anti-christ this, Jews killed Jesus that etc etc

    The most bizarre thing about conspiracy theorists is that they believe governments to be capable of such planning, organisation and implementation. Seriously, the US government couldn't cover up a blow job and you think they can cover up a moon landing?


    Maybe that's what they want you to think... :holmes:

    I've heard some Illuminati ones about how they can 'arrange' the deaths of high-profile figures. People like Elvis, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Tupac, Winehouse etc etc. It may have something to do with the fact that being famous brings certain pressures, whether drug-related, or sociological i.e. being famous means that for all the millions that love you, it takes but one guy and a gun to end it.

    I doubt there's much truth to the whole NWO thing, but regarding certain events, such as 9/11, there's an air of mystery simply because of all the unanswered questions. It's in our nature, as humans, though, to look for patterns and reasons, no matter how bogus.

    Apparently Elvis is alive working for DEA Because he knows a lot about drugs or something, I forget where I seen it but I highly doubt it :P

    Man **** all that alien shizzle!

    One thing 90%+ conspiracy theorists agree is that there's like a 1% ruling the 99% of the world.

    It's real out there bruvva!

    conspiracy theories are one thing, facts are another. On 9/11 forget how the two towers fell, (I would recommend reading up on Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth btw), but how did tower 7 collapse? It's so stupid that they citied fire as a reason, a steel structure could not have been brought down from a fire caused by burning debris and jet fuel. Also, tower 7's collapse looked exactly like a demolition of a building. It's a shame when I bring this stuff up, I'm usually seen as a nutter.

    I have never bought the official explanation for Tower 7's collapse. Steel structures don't collapse because debris caused a relatively low temperature fire and even if they did you're right to mention that it collapsed exactly like a controlled demo.

    The existence of the Illuminati is not a conspiracy theory.

    Can't stand them. Usually you find conspiracy theories come from people having a limited understanding of science or what occurred. 9/11 is a brilliant example. People say it was a controlled demolition because it looked like one, without taking into account how complicated a demolition like that would be, and the sort of work that would have to go into it. Rumours,speculation and false information don't help either. Claims that the steel had melted caused a lot of conspiracies since steel does not melt at those temperatures, overlooking the fact that at the temps recorded in the towers steel loses over half its load baring strength.
