“What Conspiracy Theory Do You Believe To Your Core But Have No Evidence For?” (30 Answers)
We certainly have not yet discovered all the mysteries of the world, and that's how we end up speculating on things. Sometimes, we just have that weird feeling in our gut when hearing about socially acceptable truths that we know of today, telling us that they might turn out to be false instead. That has happened before, so why shouldn't it happen again? We are only human, and we do tend to make mistakes.
So, I'm sure that everybody has a conspiracy theory they believe is true despite there being little to no evidence. Therefore, I asked our community to share what they choose to believe. No judgment here.

You say conspiracy theory, I say prove me wrong! I am certain that Mr. Trump has done more dishonest, despicable, morally corrupt, illegal, selfish, anti-American, treasonous, misogynistic, and immoral acts than any other president or politician in history. I'm sure that many have been put to death for treason for much less than he did in his first year of office. Yet, there is absolutely no way (January 6 Committee notwithstanding) that he will ever be held responsible. The man colluded with Russia in order to tamper with our election. Hello!? He incited the riot on January 6th making it possible for murder and injuries to occur. And those are just the few that we know about. I don't want to hear about all the Trumpers' denial out there. Brainwashing is real. Look it up. He deserves to be locked up in a federal penitentiary for the rest of his natural-born life. He will never be severely punished, let alone slapped on the wrist with a fine. So what does that say to the next person or organization who wants the presidency? Pretty soon the American government will be run by the highest bidder who may or may not have ties/affiliations to a foreign government. Slippery slope, people. Open your eyes.

There was evidence and I believe it was turtle neck Mitch McConnell that prevented it it from being shown to the committee. Trump may never face serious or any real consequences but what is even worse is he still has millions of followers still willing to do his bidding. Horrible things have happened in this country but the Capital riots brought on by the then current president was a sad thing to witness.

it is only because of his wealth that he has been able to either buy off, threaten, intimidate, etc others who could give evidence of his crimes. he has been a mess since he was a child. the main thing that gets to me is that if any other private citizen - and that is what he is now - would do the things he does to avoid indictment/prosecution we would have been thrown in jail for contempt at the very least. and, it's not just him - it's other wealthy/politicians/celebrity as well.

Ahahaha, nope. There are more diseases than we can actually treat. Just look up the Orphan Drug Act passed in 1983. Congress is actually incentivizing drug companies to develop drugs for rare diseases. It sounds so edge-lord to think in this line of reasoning, but the flip side is true, if people see that your company's drugs are more effective than others, then they'd be asking buying for your drugs over your competitors. It creates a prisoner's dilemma, this only works if all drug companies are colluding, but there are so many individual drug companies out there, you can't control them all.

No no no. You make more of healthy people; extensive studies have shown that prolonging a life with 20 years (better lifestyle, curing disease etc) it so much more expensive in (in)direct costs; people eventually will get sick and need help (meds). So for pharmaceutical companies it is more profit to cure somebody so they'll live longer and use more meds.

True to an extent, all history is just someone's version they have recorded, and will always be subject to bias. However, "history" is not a static thing. As soon as those 19th century men wrote something, a dozen more will have written disagreeing and with alternative takes. Even if that one version was accepted as hard fact initially, it will then be subject to people constantly reviewing and re-evaluating it, new sources, new opinions and new thoughts reflecting changes in society. The danger is when someone takes one source at face value, and then stands behind it as unquestionable fact in the face of any questions

While travelling with my brother, I kept noticing that Protestants were there first (in that particular town), then I researched the "Protestants" history books and I'd read their side of the story. Theirs went beyond the dates of the RC.

Many people say that the WTC wasn't built to withstand the impact of a fully laden jet. I was watching some old episodes of The FBI Files and Season 1, Episode 11 covered the first WTC bombing in 1993. This episode aired on February 9, 1999 - almost two full years before 9/11. Around ten minutes in, the narrator says that the WTC was built to withstand much more powerful bombs than was used. He also clearly stated that the WTC was built to withstand the impact of a commercial airliner. Now I'm not saying that's gospel, because I'm no expert, but I do think it fuels the debate. I also find it strange that WTC 7 collapsed in exactly the same way as the towers but without the impact of a plane. All three went down in exactly the same way - pancaked - but only two were hit directly. As a layman, I have to say that I find that rather odd.

Same concept is why the towers collapsed, and took neighboring structures with them.

Alright, Here We Go! I have no evidence for this but it connects to 9/11. What if every skyscraper over a certain size is rigged for implosive demolition in it's initial construction? Most of these large buildings are built and owned by a handful of wealthy firms. From their standpoint it would be less expensive to lose a single building than to lose an entire block of property in the worlds worst game of dominos. So if there ever comes a situation where the structural integrity of a building is failing rapidly... you enter the self destruct codes and the building goes down in place rather than tipping over and taking out the next five skyscrapers. But the ethical/moral implications of such a setup would be so intolerable to the public that it would have to be kept secret, no one would want to live and work in a building that they know could implode at any time if a malicious agent got ahold of the control mechanism. Again I have absolutely zero evidence of this.

Oh, it is real indeed! Black magic used to be very rampant in my culture. The skilled people literally can conjure demons, Djinns and so on, obviously there are price that you have to pay, such as feeding them your blood, or maybe allow them to stay in your family for generations as 'protectors'. Fortunately, it's forbidden now. Still, I do still hear stories of people being sent black magic recently, mostly due to jealousy. There is this local story of how a woman does not have much luck when it comes to relationships. It turns out that she was sent black magic by a man who is interested in her (who got rejected by her) just so that other men do not become interested in her.

More and more I believe big industrial groups create fake product shortages in order to increase prices and push people to purchase things that they don't need (in fear of lacking something).
Examples in France this year:
- Semiconductor shortage and now the price of a new car has almost increased by 30%
- Sunflower oil missing for weeks and went from 3€ per liter to 6,50€ "because of war in Ukraine" when the sunflower oil was already stocked and the future seeds were to be harvested months afterward.
- Mustard, same shortage, same overpricing, same lame explanations, when you could buy tons of French mustard in foreign countries at a lower cost.
- Gas/petrol these days, several reasons given (at first it was due to the success of a commercial operation, then a strike in refineries, and today no explanations at all and still many gas stations are closed or have just one type of fuel.
Some people blame the lack of foreseeing of industrial groups who didn't buy enough to meet the demand, I think it's done totally on purpose, less storage, fewer workers, fewer logistics, same income.

They did it with the gas shortage the 70's.. The oil company wasn't making enough money so they created a shortage and were able to increase per gallon to 50 cents or more. and then went back down..

If the megalodon, a SURFACE predator, survived the way Coelacanths did (by adapting to deep oceans), then it wouldn’t be a megalodon anymore. It would be a descendent of the megalodon, like how the West Indian Ocean Coelacanth and Indonesian Coelacanth are part of the coelacanth family, but are not the same exact species they descended from. While it is POSSIBLE that a descendant of the megalodon is out there, it is almost complexly impossible that the megalodon itself is.

Loch Ness has been sampled for environmental DNA (eDNA). This is a technique that allows scientists to tell what species are in an environment through shed DNA particles in skin, poop, saliva, carcasses, etc. Whilst there were some surprise findings of species they weren't expecting, there was absolutely nothing that could possibly be mistaken for Nessie.

Have you ever seen Loch Ness? Have you seen how small it is? How tenuous the biomass in its water is? Its way to small to support a lifeform the size of this supposed monster.
Chris H 2 years ago
Loch Ness was formed several tens of millions of years after the dinosaurs died out. It is also too small to maintain an isolated breeding population of large marine reptiles. Nor are there any stories of the local rivers having monsters, so migration along shallow rivers is unlikely. The earliest account of nessie is from a hagiography and is a metaphor for a saint banishing the evils of paganism. Most photos are easily debunked, whilst other accounts on close analysis are likely things like large sturgeon or pods of whales, which, when leaping, have often been mistaken for sea serpents. If anything, Nessie is a variant of the Scottish Kelpie of folklore, a water horse that tricks people to their deaths.

The Earl of Oxford Edward de Vere is the real Shakespeare! Read Mark Anderson's wonderful book, "Shakespeare by Any Other Name," to learn about why the Earl of Oxford wrote the plays. His life closely resembles the plots of several of Shakespeare's plays and de Vere visited Venice where he got in trouble with Jewish merchants. He had a library with over a thousand books, many of which had underlined passages that were later incorporated into plays. Since an Earl couldn't be a playwright, he got semi-illiterate grain merchant Shak-sper (who only had a fifth grade education and never traveled abroad) to be his front. Please read Anderson´s book and spread the word!!

Nope. People come up with these theories because they just can't believe that a common, everyday man could have written such amazing plays. But he did.

These theories are all very classiest. The idea that a commoner (Shakespeare, and his family weren't "common", they were firmly middle-class) could write such beautiful classics. It's like saying, "Oh no, Stephen King couldn't have written all those widely, and wildly popular books, he's just a pleb. Everyone knows it's the Queen who wrote, 'It'".

Yeah, that's bullsh!t. Shakespeare is known to have been an actor. Can't read scripts if you're semiliterate. This is just snobbery, from the same brand of wankhelmet that said the Beatles couldn't be writing their own songs because they were too working-class.

The simple fact that his cranium exploded from front to back (which could never have happened with a projectile coming from the book deposit, but on the contrary only if it came from the front of the convoy ), proves that it cannot be L.H.Oswald the murderer! He is just the p**n (which we quickly eliminated to avoid any risky revelation...).

Some theorists do make an argument that the driver could/should/ would possibly prevented JFK death if he had sped up instead of slowing down. Forensic explanation based on bullet fragments found, casings, etc is that there were 3 shots fired..high powered rifle. The third is the one that hit him in the head. Governor was critically injured too- bullet to his lung I think. Why Mrs Kennedy reacted by trying to climb out back of limo…even she couldn’t answer for certain. Was it fear, trying to get away? Was it, to retrieve skull piece? She reported said, “ they’ve killed my husband, look at my hands”

This is silly and not a true conspiracy theory but I like to refer to it as one. This is all based on observation and could be wildly incorrect, but I don't think so. In my city, we have Rotating Trees. This is a continuous rotation of saplings at many locations, until they disappear somewhere. So for example, the smallest saplings tend to get moved to the median strip on most of our roads. They get left there for a number of years to grow, get lights on them around this time of year, etc, and then those saplings get moved into the verge in front of many houses. At some point those saplings at the verge get too large and are then moved...elsewhere. All of this is to make up for the fact that our unification of trees via this method are very prone to acquiring disease or getting attacked by bugs en masse, resulting in the occasional removal of affected trees across all properties. It's clever if you think about it - a continual source of young trees are being brought in to, I think, eventually replace the trees that suffer in folks' front yards. It's done very quietly, efficiently, and it manages to keep the city fairly green. The only problem is that the presence of the same tree everywhere, aside from the likelihood of a bulk of them suffering, is that Autumn can be very boring. I suppose that's a small price to pay.

You are absolutely wrong, this isn't a conspiracy to get money from your pockets, it is security measure to protect you. This is coming from a former TSA officer.

I’d say that the Germans had a secret base in Antarctica. I’ll tell you the story. Before World War One, the Norwegians were waging in Antarctic waters. To extend the stay of their vessels, they had erected supply dumps on various islands. When World War One broke out, the British, fearing the German navy might make use of these supply dumps, burned them all down. This pissed of teh Norwegians but thats beside the point. So when Karl Dönitz became commander of the German submarine fleet, he came up with the idea to hide supplies in the Antarctic so his submarines could be deployed for much longer periods and operate in the South Atlantic. Obviously such dumps had to be hidden, and the German Navy found a natural cave with access to open water. This was ideal to hide supplies and shelter a submarine. They did deposit some supplies, but when war broke out the whole plan was cancelled. The British found the cave in late 1945 (when it is Summer in the Antarctic) and blew up the supplies. This eventually evolved into a secret base with aliens and UFOs.

Aye. LBJ, his family, his cronies made fortunes in the VN war. His wife's family, IIRC, had contracts to supply meat to troops. His cronies made Agents Red, Orange, etc. I spent years studying that war to find out what was happening to my husband and friends, interviewed hundreds of veterans from 1969 through 1990s, and virtually every one had horror stories that conflicted with official narratives. Kennedy wanted to end the war. LBJ was a bad man.

I agree OP. I read a book years ago, about the Kennedy family….the father, Joe Sr. was the cause. His wealth came from selling whisky during prohibition… his primary political role was head of Security and Exchange…. I mean, is there anyone more advantageously situated to clean money than this position? I think he made promises to mob leaders that if they helped get his sons elected , he would return the favor…..but when Jack and Bobby got in office, they had other plans and priorities. I wonder if the boys maybe even were ignorant to how indebted their Dad was to ‘the firm’. I am convinced they took him out, planted the most obvious Communist stool pigeon to take the wrap as a pay back to JoeSr. That’s how they roll. They don’t kill you, they do worse, killing your son is the ultimate hit right? They probably took Bobby too. He was very vocal about fighting organized crime…as AG….he had the power to make their businesses very difficult. LBJ was just an arrogant redneck. He may have hated Kennedy, but enough to kill him? He wasn’t a stellar man, typical politician, but being corrupt is a lot easier as VP, than out in front #1. He had no political agenda or plan that Kennedy was preventing. I think that was just a simple dislike of each other.

I firmly believe that the housing market is rigged. Between Governments, Industry and Banks everything is calculated to cost as much a possible. Case in point the Prime Mortgage scandal in recent years. Aside from that though, it always seems to coincide with the bulk of one generation aging out of the housing market. An adage I heard sums it up nicely- when you see the average joe flipping houses it’s time to cash out of the housing market.’ Then, when millennials wanted to purchase homes, baby boomers- who hold the most wealth- shelled out to help purchase. This neatly ties in with the market starting to soften. Governments create recessions! Why? To slow down the economy, slow down inflation but again, the odds are stacked against the average person. Sooner or later, somehow, someway. Another fine example is the tech bubble, many, many people lost everything. Nowadays l, there is no fail safe recipe. They are already thinking of mining asteroids!

So, admittedly I’m not up on the 911 debunks…but why does the materials the planes were constructed of matter? Those planes were what, 15 yrs old? The ones we ride in today, close to 20 yrs old. What’s the relevance of this ? Now, what I’ve always wanted to know more facts on ,that was suppressed quickly, is the fact that, immediately after….all domestic and private planes were ordered grounded at around 9: 45. By order of President Bush. Country officially at warning level DEFCON 3 for first time ever. Whilst in the air on Airforce One, we are told Bush ordered any planes in sky to be shot down. 10- 10:30am? Fair enough…. Sounds like a tough, manly, authoritative thing to order. Because Bush had to make these prewar declarations formally, whatever that process is, his location was compromised…he was in Louisiana….So, Airforce One takes off again….to protect Prez taking him to another undisclosed ‘safe zone’. Of course, this isn’t shared with public at the time, understandably.…But my point is… between 10:30 and 12:15….on the East coast at least….there are theoretically no other aircraft in the sky. .officially, FAA record, It took until12:15p to confirm that All US airspace was clear. Maine to Cali….no planes…except Airforce One and undisclosed military aircraft. No commercial Or private planes unaccounted for in air. This was accomplished by 13 airlines in Less than 2 hours… God bless air traffic controllers- right?

I believe in the *IDEA* of the simulation theory. Where I offramp at is in one, acting like that means other people aren't "real" bc they're NPCs, and two acting like it means a Matrix type dystopia/evil corporation situation. I think it's more like an MMO in a miltipurpose game like Animal Crossing or The Sims: Some of us are here as vacation, perhaps others to learn a skill, others yet perhaps as some form of punishment or to learn a particularly hard lesson. As to why we'd need something so elaborate to do that... I'd say time dilation. Our dreams are NOWHERE near as long as we feel like they are. This is due to the fact our brain is working on it's own; it isn't having to send out/receive signals from and for multiple things. It's just your brain in pure reaction time. This is why time appears to slow down during dangerous situations: our brains have began working in such a similar fashion. I say all this loose stuff to point out that in a simulation type situation, you'd likely be in some kind or form of sleep, at least as far as your brain is concerned. We could learn those skills or lessons in a fraction of the time inside a simulation while wasting very little of it in "reality".

I've gotten re-interested in simulation theory by thinking about a recent BP item in which they listed stories of children saying bizarre things. Ofc these can be faked, or inadvertently influenced, but I've heard so many stories of toddlers talking about previous life experiences, then forgetting they ever spoke about such things as they get just a bit older. I don't imagine Matrix/computer-like sims, but conceivably another dimension in which beings are like "oh, I think I'll do the Earth sim again. One can only play Life On Zog so many times."

This is gonna be going out on a pretty long limb but this is my expanding universe theory. So we all know there’s no real evidence to whether the universe is infinite or in a box as both are incapable of being comprehended. So what if the universe is in a sort cage (doesn’t matter if it’s a box or anything, although it would make sense to be a multiple dimensions) and the universe isn’t really expanding, but shrinking to fit in newly created matter perfectly evenly so that it’s not noticeable? So what we call microscopic as actually waaaaaay smaller than what would actually be microscopic? Go on then. Call me crazy.

The infinite universe, and us, exist in a simulation. The counterpoint to such sophistry is always that the universe is so vast that it seems like an enormous waste just to make us. But the more you know about programming, the less that seems like an argument than a validation. It takes pages of lines of code just to make something as simple as a midi play, and play right, and not mess up everything else. The whole “dark web” can exist because most of the internet is like an iceberg where the bottom 95% exists to make the remaining visible 5% function. So I find it entirely reasonable to suppose that in order to run as complex a simulation as “reality” would require also programming huge swaths of empty space and lifeless worlds to allow the possibility that one could produce us so the game could proceed.

That Michael Jackson is still alive and just faked his death to be finally left alone. This man was forced into fame and stardom because of his family. He couldn't go anywhere without being recognised and crowded by fans. For one birthday his friends rented a grocery store and all of his friends/ some actors acted like their just shopping just so he can a normal people expirience because he never shopped for groceries before. Isn't that horrible. He loved his fans but all he really wanted was to be left alone. So I'm 100% certain that he faked his death. First of all the doctor that tried to save him did the external cardiac massage on a bed, although everyone knows that you can only do this on hard surfaces. No medical professional would have done that. It's just a stupid excuse. Than there are some blurry pictures that show that something on a stretcher is carried OUT of the ambulance shortly after they carried his "corpes" into the wagon. Around a year after photos published that seemed to show him in the back of his daughters car. I'm sure he's not in the states anymore but maybe somewhere on an island just living in peace.

There's this one theory that falls under the category of "we can't prove it's true or false so we just have to put up with it." It's called the One Electron theory, and it basically states that there is only a single electron in the universe. It moves faster than light and space-time, so it can be everywhere at once. Stupidest sh!t I've ever heard but it's hilarious to me

I think gay people are gods way of testing if Christians actually love their neighbor, bc why would he make us if we were a sin?

As a Christian I completely agree. When people say gays are going to hell and I just say "Then why did God make them? We believe that God doesn't make mistakes, yet it sounds like you're saying he made a mistake." Nine times out of ten I get a blank stare and they walk away. We're called to love everyone, yet a lot of Christians ignore that and it infuriates me.

I have a theory (ik im hella late) bing, a show on CBeebies. He is abused by his real parents and sort of has his own little world where his toys are his parents that love him and care for him. Flop is literally a toy, so is Emma. Still kinda working on that theory but it is there

May I add a theory? Nessie isn't a Relic Plesiosaur,its a freshwater Whale, a freshwater toothed whale at that, that evolved in isolation from all other Whales once Loch Ness got cut off near completely from the oceans nearby. Or maybe its a subspeciesof greenland Shark. Definitely not an ancient marine reptile.
