Magere Hein 1,400 Posted October 20, 2012 My favourite conspiracy theory is the Apollo Moon landings hoax. I have no doubts that what I saw on the box in 1969 and on was the real thing, but the "arguments" used by the people who believe otherwise are quite amusing. I won't go into them, you can find them easily on the interweb. I just ran across a piece of work of monumental proportions by a Paul White, who compared every still and TV shot that contains an image of the Earth of all Apollo missions that flew to or around the Moon, to cloud patterns of weather satellite images. All this to prove that each and every one matches perfectly. Here's a sample. Possibly the most famous shots of Apollo 8 are the Earhrise ones: Here's his comparison with weather sat imagery of the same date and time: This awesome labour of love, all 200 odd pages of it, can be found on Scribd, titled Clouds Across the Moon. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted October 20, 2012 There are conspiracy theories involving the World Trade Center which have put up a strong argument and one that was proven to be false is 'The towers couldn't have collapsed the way they did without the bombs", the laws of physics says no. The buildings weren't built with the thinking to survive such an attack. If the planes had hit at the bottom where the explosives went off in 1993 and the buildings sank, well then explosives of some sort could have been on each floor. The question one must wonder is "If there were bombs, did planes have them or did the buildings?". If the planes had them, we know the terrorists brought them with their luggage. If the buildings had them, how did they? I don't believe there were any bombs in the buildings but possibly on the planes. I wonder about the gold being removed from the World Trade Center two days before the incident. I'm not sure if that happened or not, but if it did it was just a coincidence or a precautionary act. Can anyone find a link about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 21, 2012 Hillsbourgh - in my eyes the blame can only rest with the FA. For a second year running the venue was the place where my Nottingham Forest team met Liverpool. I went to the previous match as a guest of the match sponsor. Because of segregation inside the ground i maybe was one of only a handful of Forest fans in with the Pool fans so I have a different objective start point to the massed ranks of Pool fans. Escorted round the ground we were taken into the area next to and just to the left of the turnstiles on the Lepping Lane enterence. And let though a side gate already crushed by fans massed beyond the turnstile queues. Head counted with stighting though a heavy gate we were to gain enterance without normal ticket check. Well the fans noticed the gap in the gate and no kidding about a few hundred or more pushed through without those ticket checks too. Just thinking about it now still sends a shiver. Most unpleasent to be in a crush and lifted off my feet and pressured through a fairly narrow gap as the gates were pushed open. All those extra people looking for a seat in an instant could have produced the very same effect on crush barriers on the terrace that day as happened faitally one year hence. The organisation was hectic and poor. The police and stewards were incapable to handle the crowds but the FA had all the info to hand how the previous event went off and should have learnt how to do it better. By the sounds of the inquiry nothing was learnt and disaster was all the more likely. So sad. Those poor people at the front crushed to death through no fault of their own.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,221 Posted October 22, 2012 A timely thread, this one. Just got back from a long weekend in Paris where we paid a visit to the Grave of Jim Morrison. The story is, as you all probably know, he faked his death and went to live somewhere weird and wonderful etc, etc. Well I hope he did because his grave is a fucking disgrace. You cant get near enough to it nowdays, primarily to keep the fucktards from scribbling bollocks all over it and making it look shite. Thing is, as seems to be the norm for Paris, graffiti is in abundance near his plot and everywhere else and it all looks utterly shabby. The whole cemetery had the look of something off of a Hammer films production, eerie, dingy and massively crap. Jim, I hope its not you there and you escaped to somewhere where people actually do give a fuck about their City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,597 Posted October 22, 2012 Yoko Ono kept John Lennon's broken glasses on display and brought a replica of the gun that killed him. According to some sources there were tensions in the marriage in the run up tom his assassination and in the interveneing years she has focussed on her self publicity on the premise of keeping his legacy alive. That the assassination was carried out at the behest of the person with most to gain is less far fetched than a CT i read in a book that Stephen King had set Mark Chapman to commit the crime.

Toast 16,170 Posted October 23, 2012 Actually it's the other way round, the bottom picture is older. I first visited Pere Lachaise and Jim's grave in about 1989/90, and the bust was missing then, although the original stone was in place. The new stone and plaque was installed sometime in the late 90s I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted October 23, 2012 I've always liked the so-in-so died and was replaced by a look a like theories because they're bizarre yet commonplace at the same time, they're also fairly harmless as conspiracies go. Mae West died and was replaced by her brother, The Queen Mum was killed in WW2 and was replaced by a look a like for morale reasons, the bizarre Lord Lucan was Colonel Gadafi nonsense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 25, 2012 Don't forget Monaco in that list, their flag also fits in there. What are those sneaky folk fae Norway up to? I've noticed that the area you say could be like the flag of Finland but I must point out that not only is the Norway blue too dark but the ratio of blue cross is not in the same layout as the real, modern Finish fag. They call for two strips of white (top and bottom) each at four units high either side of a blue band of only 3 units high. (The dims left to right being, 5 units white, 3 units blue then 10 units white.) I'm not going to look at the Thai flag but that may not be right either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted October 27, 2012 So how long before ted heath will be outed as a peado ? There are also rumours now online that Jill Dando was going to expose this peado ring but she was silenced . Think about it a respected woman like Dando who worked at the BBC and on crimewatch and was there a long time like rantzen , she must of heard about it and if she came out people would of believed her. Then you have the wild goose chase to Yugoslava to distract the police and public and finally the framing of the village idiot . IMO its the best theory on why Jill dando died to come along in a while and it makes sense too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,539 Posted October 27, 2012 There are also rumours now online that Jill Dando was going to expose this peado ring but she was silenced. Blinking heck... Could it really be the case? It certainly seems to be a plausible theory. Although with the number of crimes that Crimewatch exposed or had a hand in finding the culprits, the list of suspects would be longer than your arm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
