I think this poll is an attempt by government agents to track down any of us who know the truth.

The 3 (so far) that picked "I do not hate Conspiracy theories” can you post if you believe the theory or if you just like the truth bending stories

A less known one is Ronald Regan's attempted assassination attempt by his Vice President at the time (yes it was George Bush senior behind that one who eventually took office in 1988) .

What I think is funny but I still hate them are UFO conspiracies
The term UFO simply means an Unidentified Flying Object yet some use the term as if it exclusively means it is an alien or extraterrestrial space craft.

JFK shouldn't fall under a conspiracy theory. It's a well known fact by now that the assisnation wasn't done by a lone gunman in a book depository.

Problem is with conspiracy theories is that there is so much misinformation spread around and so many people hired to act like nutjobs about conspiracy theories in order to discredit them that it's hard to find the truth among the bullshit.

If you cant make it fake it

I do believe man went to the moon but
It would be difficult to prove the moon landing was real without sending a lunar satellite to take pictures of a rover, Lander ,foot prints and flag .I doubt there is a telescope on earth that can see a foot print from 1/4 million miles away.

A NASA representative rebuttal to the conspiracy was a weak argument about gathering moon rocks and how they could only be taking from the Moons surface .I feel this is a weak argument because if I were given the task to get rocks from the moons surface sending a human or any living creature would be the last thing I would try.

If any one knows a link to solid evidence supporting the moon landing was uncountable real please post it

The UFO conspiracy is that the government (?) is covering up their existence and evidence that ET's have been here.

That's the beauty of conspiracy theories, any proof that they are wrong just fuels the fire. You could take some of these guys to the moon and show them the footprints and they will still find some way to dispute it.

I feel that these are the equivalent of a religious belief, based on hopes and emotion rather than logic or proof. Some of the theories might be true but there is really no way to know, only unanswered questions. The lack of proof is all the proof they need. One example is the 9/11 truthers. They base their 'facts' completely on questions that are unanswered, at least in their minds. Another example is JFK. Many people believe there was/is a conspiracy, maybe even a significant proportion of the population, but that does not in any way provide proof; again there are only questions.

The biggest commonality that belief in conspiracies have with religion is the ability followers have to continue their beliefs despite ample evidence to the contrary.

A well known fact? If it is your opinion, fine, but how has anyone "proven" there was anyone else there firing a gun. Give me a break.

It really annoys me when people claim that there are 1000km batteries / 90 mpg carbureteurs / gizmos to make cars run on water. And that they are supressed by oil companies or car manufacturers. Who killed the EV1? You have to be pretty willfully naive to believe it.

Google the JFK assasination. Read all about it. Take a look at the film footage. Try and wrap your brain around the "single bullet theory". I think we can finally say that the official report on what happened to JFK and why is completely bogus, though we can only assume who else was involved as no one has been convicted of the crime.

I have read about it, quite a bit, and don't really wish to rehash all of the discussion I've had with others here on more than one thread. You want to believe in any conspiracy theory you like, go right ahead, Just don't tell me something is a "well known fact" when it isn't, because I'm beginning to think you don't even know what that means.

That is more urban legend then conspiracy

I see you point though .

I herd that it was a 200 mpg carburetor LOL.
Even if you could get allot better gas mileage by some innovation you may want to ask how reliable is this thing going to be .I took an old 78 Chevy impala when I was younger leaned out the fuel mixture to get better MPG and the valves distorted in no time .It would depend on the weather how well it ran but it did get noticeable better mileage

Thanks for the link Eli. Here is another, courtesy of alphauniform from the Politics forum: http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/135.html
about money as debt.

Here are some quotes from the film:

The bankers:
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes the laws." Mayer Amschel Rothschild, founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, 1790.

"I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people." Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924.

"That is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldn’t be any money." Marriner Stoddard Eccles, Chairman of the Federal Reserve 1934-1948.

"If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash, or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money, we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless situation is almost incredible—but there it is." Robert W. Hemphill (1915-1983), a credit manager of the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta.

"The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin . Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again . Take this great power away from them and all great fortunes like mine will disappear, for then this would be a better and happier world to live in . But if you want to continue to be the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let bankers continue to create money and control credit." Sir Josiah Stamp, president of the Bank of England and the second richest man in Britain in the 1920's, speaking at the University of Texas in 1927.

"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years........It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." David Rockefeller, in an address to Trilateral Commission meeting, 1991.

The politicians:
“The inability of the colonists to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the International Bankers was the Prime reason for the Revolutionary War.” Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), one of the founding fathers of the United States.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States under whom the Federal Reserve system was created, 1919 (Referring to the Federal Reserve and the transition to a debt-based economy).
