LOL-30 Rock had a bit of a running story line about the Black Crusaders near the end of it's first season. Funny stuff.

edit: just going through the chappelle theory link. the biggest conspiracy there is that anyone could find chappelle funny. something in the water supplies perhaps? anyway, huzzah for the black crusaders :applaud:

edit edit: geez, it takes a long time to read it. the only thing that keeps me going is the train wreck effect. why cant people be a little more perfunctory when they make this crap up?

There's some conspiracy theory about the US government being behind 9/11.

There was also a widespeard theory that still many people think is true that FDR had knowledge of the Pearl harbor plan and let it happen as a way to boost our economy and get people back to work. That is one of the conspiracies that I would give the most credibility to IMO.

I thought it was a bit silly for the guy to say Dave and his dad had dinner before season 3 even though his old man died in 1998.

yeah, most hoaxers (i use the term loosely because theres so many things that make this obviously just a story- like how many frikken bystanders happen to catch whole secret conversations) have a deliberate give away in it. like that roswell autopsy with the fragment of ufo which had the word 'video' written on it...

I'm working on a new one.  It's not ironed out but here's the gist of it...

At first I thought this China-USA thing was a trading war, but I started connecting the dots, and I think there’s a deeper conspiracy behind it.

The Chinese are very patient people, just look at the Great Wall, it took them 100s of years to build.

They had a two prong long  term attack on the USA that would take 20 years to complete.  Here’s what got me thinking.

China was sending us toddler's toys coated in lead paint.
   ***Lead causes learning disabilities in children.

China then sends us food that causes cancer.  Not just any food, but  fish.   Most Americans eat and consider fish a healthy meat.

Our kids have been chewing on lead paint and our adults have been eating cancer meat.

In 20 years the current adult population will be dead or dying, and our lead head kids will be in charge of the country.

If you don't understand this post, it’s because of your lead based “Made in China” toys.

Tim Bedore talks about a theory that the animal kingdom is getting close to a full out revolt against humans.

Here's one of the articles he's has written on the subject:

Did you see that in the paper the other day about those carp in the Mississippi River jumping into boats and bonking fisherman in the head? It's true. They're called big head carp, they're from Asia and they're attacking and severely injuring many fisherman.

Biologists claim the roar of boat motors agitates and excites these carp and they jump towards the sound but I think these biologists are naively missing an obvious connection. Fish are attacking fisherman. For the fish it's get them before they get you, kill or be killed. Even if these fisherman are practicing catch and release, that's a very painful, embarrassing experience for any fish and apparently they have had it.

What about the increase in mountain lion attacks? Great White sharks moving closer to shore? Moose have been showing up in towns and stomping on people. A squirrel was in my living room last spring. Am I the only one that sees a pattern here? People, wise up! The other animals are against us. It doesn't take a genius to see there's an inter-species conspiracy to thwart the urban expansion of man.

How do the squirrels fit in? Surveillance. They spy on what we people are doing in the cities and report back to the bigger species out there on the front lines.

And taken together these other species represent walking, we hope not yet talking, scratching, biting weapons of mass destruction. And if these other species can convince the insect world, for example a well known anti-human group like the killer bees, to join up our way of life and our democracy could be history.

The skeptical may ask why would these other species want to hurt us? Obviously, they hate us. They are jealous of our way of life. We swim in chlorinated, safe environment pools, then towel off and have an adult beverage. They are stuck eating sludge in the Mississippi, a river polluted by guess who: their mortal enemy man. And to top it all off we eat them.

This invasion of Asian carp is no accident. This is stage one of their well planned attack. We ignore the obvious at our own peril.

We can no longer sit back and wait for them to attack us. It's time we adopt a new doctrine regarding these other animals. We have to wipe out any and all species who are a lined against us, wherever they are. We can not rest until every big head carp, great white shark, mountain lion, moose and squirrel and any other species that associates with them are defeated.

If the U.N. wants to get involved fine, if not we can do it alone. Of course the British will show up, they always do, but we will fight to protect our way of life. And if you don't agree, you're an unpatriotic idiot who hates America.


My nephew was attacked by a bear last year in a canyon near my house. Luckily he survived with little harm done to him, but it was scary. On Father's day this year a child was dragged out of his tent and killed by bear. There have also been many other bear and cougar sightings the past few weeks.

The full on revolt against mankind must be getting near.

Epoch Times is issued by the Falung Gong cult, not the most objective group of people when it comes to the Chinese government.

The cardboard story is true though. On the other hand, if you would know what goes into your made in the USA sausages you wouldn't be too happy either.

IMHO, the most hilarious conspiracy theories are:

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

No,the real bombshell theory is this:

Harpal is actaully.........SAINT!!!!!


Frustrated with the countless thousands of thankless forum bandwidth moochers, Saint decides to exact his revenge by hatching a scheme to prey on the masses inability to see thru a too good to be true deal. After collecting thousands of dollars from unsuspecting forum members, Saint nearly blew the whole thing by forgetting to realize that his technical guru, Sirwoogie, could blow the whole thing and discover his secret. Thru quick planning, Saint was able to enlist the help of a band of mercenaries to eliminate Sir Woogie, whose posts now are also made by Saint.

I would ask all of you to monitor my posts closely after this message is out in the open, as I may also be taken out. If anything seems out of the ordinary, please contact the authorities.
