McGrath, the Grand Masters of the Bavarian Illuminatii now have to send you to Thule because you have discovered the Great Secret! Expect a visit any minute, and wear something warm.    8-)

The biggest conspiracy theorists are in Government offices. The trouble is, when they believe in a conspiracy, it becomes real.

The interesting thing is when, retrospectively, allegations that were dismissed at the time as "just another conspiracy theory" turn out to be true. Like the Gulf of Tonkin episode.

I wonder if there's a department of Government whose job it is to make up and disseminate phony conspiracy theories, with the idea being that in all the confusion, the real conspiracies get covered over by the mass of phony ones...

And that's a great conspiracy theory.

I wonder if poeple are actually looking at these. It's not about Illuminati-type conspiracy theories (well, most of it isn't)...but perfectly legitimate questions like, well, where DID Muhammed Atta's passport come from???

Ah, good. Nothing about Chester Drawers' moonshine still. He still thinks Prohibition Repeal was just a rumor.

It's a Good Thing that they don't mention that depository of frozen people and things near Thule, Greenland. If they did, the Grand Masters of the Bavarian Illuminati would have to "deal with them."

Deja vu - BS: Top 10 Conspiracy Theories of 2002

But best not go opening it up separately - one thread about conspiracy theories at a time is surely enough.

Thanks Peg. This link was also posted about a week ago, under a thread of (I think) the same name. Don't think there was much discussion about it, though.
