List conspiracy theories here.

Towards the beginning of the book when he's talking about his military experience he mentions experiencing UFOs out at sea, some of them rising up out of the water, which ties into one of my favorite books "Invisible Residents". Basically the book makes the Chariot of the Gods case about ancient civilization being visited, except instead of UFO from the sky they are UFOs from the ocean. Included are plenty of tantalizing 19th century reports from shipping vessels of strange lights underneath their ships while in the middle of the ocean. Author Ivan Sanderson manages to stay on this one topic for the entirety of the book, which is a welcome change from most conspiracy books I've read!

Ivan Sanderson comes more from the cryptozoology school than the UFO/conspiracy school, which is probably why. Different breed of nutty.

i think this video is when conspiracy theories, as a genre of human expression, truly, completely and hilariously jumped the shark:

THOUGHTS: This mail is from the grandmoviestar from Hollywood [NAME DELETED] and is for the reporter Jay Hernandes. Before you read the rest of this mail you have to understand that most movies what you see in the theaters from Hollywood right now like Ironman,Prince of Persia,Clash of the Titans,Avatar,Transformers part 1,2,3 and 4 were filmed 11 years ago in 1998/1999/ 2000.I got kidnapped in Hollywood in 1999 and after this something happened and these movies were removed/ stolen.It caused a situation between 1999 and today that evolved into a scandal like Watergate.To give this some credibility;When you watch the movie Jennifer’s Body there isn’t 1 girl that’s Megan Fox but there are 6 different girls who are all 1 Megan Fox in this movie.That’s because Megan Fox isn’t 1 person but they are 23 different models and actresses who are all 1 Megan Fox.Just watch the movie because some girls don’t look like each other at all. -The movie G.I.Joe and the promotion material[posters,bilboards etc.] from this movie don’t belong together[you can see scene's and characters on the posters etc.from the 2nd G.I.Joe movie that aren't in the 1st G.I.Joe movie]that’s because the movie is the 1st movie but the promotion material is from the 2nd G.I.Joe movie[with me as Sergeant Slaughter and Sienna Miller as The Baroness] that was stolen[the 2nd movie and the promotion material from the 1st movie] by Vin Diesel and Jennifer Aniston by burglarising the moviecompany that had these movies.Jennifer Aniston was jealous because I dumped Jennifer Aniston and started a relationship with Sienna Miller so she stole our movie. For more information about the scandal and a list of all the movies that were filmed go to my space and type [DELETED CONTACT INFO]. Vin Diesel still has the promotion material from the 1st movie and Jennifer Aniston still has the 2nd movie.

not so much conspiracy theory as person with schizophrenia

OMG I have a total weakness for that kind of conspiracy rant (the 'i am at the center of a web of celebrity conspiracy' mode). You have just made me v v happy.

There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over.

Also I REALLY REALLY like the premise of this one.

megan fox is like the father, son, and holy spirit + 20 other people

That rainbow video is the greatest thing ever

Can I just

There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over.

Oh man, if you want to read something great Google "solaris blueraven rush" and stand back.

i found those kinds of things incredibly depressing, it's not like just some wacky idea some dimbulbs have run with but some serious mental illness shit. that person is probably living in a kind of hell

true. i didn't know if it was even real or not. i found it on some entertainment blog that was linked somewhere.

well shame on u

"There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over."
more details please!

have we talked about the guy who thinks sylvester stallone is dead and the stallone we have now is a b-movie actor from the 70s who has had a ton of plastic surgery?

"There is a guy on a Rush usenet group who has a similar steez with regard to Geddy and Neal and how they have fucked his life over."

>>more details please!

Wow, see last time I looked in there were actual sane conversations about Rush going on, with L1b3r@tor's insane posts here and there. Now it seems he's almost the only one posting:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.rush/topics?lnk=rgh

Holy shit wait is it the same guy as latebloomer's?

Scientists create synthetic cell/organism (Megan Fox is proof)

We all know by certain individuals thought to be dead they're way way
beyond this. This was achieved 50 years ago, probably by a Nazi
scientist. Megan Fox wants people to know by her tatoo. That's all I
can say at this time (for those that don't know).

That rainbow video! I immediately signed this petition and you should too:

And also it seems like they ALL GET RACIAL when you trace them far enough, it's kinda depressing.

Speaking of Usenet crazies, anyone recall the guy on alt.prophecies.nostrodamus that some guy posted in August 2001? Look up "Xinoehpoel".

Oops I brainfarted. the guy on alt.prophecies.nostrodamus that posted in August 2001 about "911" and then on sept 4 said "in 7 days I am going away and wont be back". Creepy.

A cabal of evil corporate geniuses have generated thousands of useless internetish and cell phonish technologies as the most invasive and effective way to distract the minions from the fact that they have taken over our government, committing crimes against humanity and are polluting our environment.

USA Today's been reading this thread:

Matt Chasansky, the public art administrator at Denver airport, has watched all the YouTube videos, answered many e-mails and read all the internet postings about the secret messages allegedly embedded in murals, sculpture and other art pieces in the airport. He's glad people are responding emotionally to the airport's collection but insists concerns about strange doings at DEN are just misunderstandings.

One traveler wrote to complain about the "demons" in the baggage claim area. Those demons are part of Terry Allen's work, Notre Denver and are European cathedral-inspired gargoyles meant not to harm people, but to protect them from losing their luggage. Other travelers see a secret code in the words and images in 21st Century Artifacts, the four mosaic floors created by Carolyn Braaksma and Mark Villareal for Concourse B. "The piece is actually about geography, archeology and topography," says the airport's Chasansky, "And those are Native American words and symbols for the Colorado River and other sites around the area."

I've always thought that one of the problems with most conspiracy theories is that they aren't outlandishly batshit enough to have any kind of lasting interest. Who cares about who plugged JFK when it's possible that the entire MIddle Ages didn't exist. Meet Phantom Time Hypothesis - what happens when a clerical error goes horribly wrong.

I read the Voodoo Histories book kingfish plugged upthread. It was a very high-quality and reasoned takedown of various conspiracy theories and the conspiratorial thought process. OTOH it was what I happened to have in my purse when my husband went to the ER and I have to note: this book will not cheer you up. It will only make a bad day worse.

dude elvis holy shit what

In short, the current year is 1713 and not 2010. Also Charlemagne was a fictional character. Quoting from http://www.damninteresting.com/the-phantom-time-hypothesis

The Phantom Time Hypothesis suggests that the early Middle Ages (614-911 A.D.) never happened, but were added to the calendar long ago either by accident, by misinterpretation of documents, or by deliberate falsification by calendar conspirators. This would mean that all artifacts ascribed to those three centuries belong to other periods, and that all events thought to have occurred during that same period occurred at other times, or are outright fabrications.

damn I want a movie made out of that!!!

btw Danny Glover only got into the movies because he caught Gene Wilder choking a woman in the shower and blackmailing him

these people are waaaaayyy more fucked up than e.g. climate change deniers. the level of cognitive dissonance and just plain retardation is astounding.

3) In a democracy, 'a majority' does not depend on 'large numbers'. A majority can be as low as ONE. And that ONE must, of itself, (therefore) carry sufficient empowerment to put any motion into practice. (The US Supreme Court has 9 Members. A 5 - 4 majority carries any ruling. That's 'democracy')

Reading that entry on the Redemption Movement, it's pretty much the first 1/3 of a David Icke book I read, "Tales From the Time Loop".

My favorite current theory is from Terrence McKenna, whose "Stoned Ape" hypothesis of human evolution says that ingestion of psychedelic mushrooms is mostly responsible for evolving us into modern man.
