The sheer number of fake elections in history.

I’m not sure if this counts as a conspiracy, but I wholeheartedly believe that aliens are real, but that we have no way of ever contacting them or confirming their existence because they’re so damn far away

Not sure that even counts as a conspiracy.

Yeah, surely it’s only a conspiracy if there’s proof of aliens that’s being hidden from people.

That’s actually a reasonable thing to believe, not a conspiracy. Just something nobody knows yet.

Indeed not a conspiracy. A conspiracy involves a crew of conspirators conspiring to do something illegal or unethical.

If it’s just the laws of physics conspiring, it doesn’t count.

Just because conspiracies likely do happen on a regular basis doesn’t mean that any popular conspiracy theory has found one.

Remember, the big conspiracies like Watergate or the NSA leaks where not uncovered by conspiracy theorists. They where not uncovered by cherry-picking factoids from public government statements and “doing ones own research” aka using Google. They were uncovered by whistleblowers speaking out and journalists double-checking and following up on information they were given.

As a side note — the poor boy with this scumbag father who constantly lies to him.

This is going to be my comeback the next time I get called a conspiracy theorist. Not that I am much of one or discuss them very often.

We definitely aren’t told the whole story on 911. There’s so many wierd pieces like the dancing Israelis, the Pentagon footage, the ‘crash site’ in the field seemingly void of most of the expected debris, and tower 5 collapsing after office equipment caught fire somehow. It’s the only time in history that 3 buildings were hit by 2 planes and collapsed into their own footprint from fire damage. Tower 5 is the smoking gun, look into that one.

The JFK assassination. Wendigoon did an excellent video (he’s quite passionate about it, he has a full on whiteboard to go through all the facts). There’s definitely more to that than we know. Crucial evidence being ‘lost’, audio of the gunshots, direction of the bullets… the person signalling with the umbrella on a sunny day…

Just to mix things up a bit, water erosion around the sphinx. You can clearly see in old photos the water erosion from flooding. The last time that area was flooded was thousands of years before the supposed age of the sphinx. There’s also the tiny head and massive body, indicating that the head was recarved at some point. Then there’s the complete lack of hieroglyphics inside the pyramids, while everywhere else, temples, tombs, etc have hieroglyphs everywhere. Perfectly circular drilled holes in granite, scoop marks in the granite around a half carved obelisk, and the sheer weight of the obelisks themselves. I’m not saying aliens but definitely technology existed back then that we are unaware of. Probably not like modern technology but very advanced and clever cranes etc.

To address the flooding but, I’ve heard the idea (nope, I don’t have a source) that some of the ancient structures along the Nile may have been built with the assistance of dug canals that would have allowed barges to move right up to the job site. That could have been. Why the sphinx had wet feet, it was built in a puddle.

Theres this guy on TikTok demonstrating exactly how you can move large and heavy objects like that with nothing but clever counter balancing and some well placed logs. It’s really not that hard. Honestly this all was debunked ages ago, and just the fact that you willfully ignore that makes me think you’re disingenuous about the other stuff you’re saying.

Did you not read the part where I said they had very clever cranes?

You literally said technology that were not aware of. We are. We know exactly how they did it.
