Conspiracy theory nuttersI keep getting collared by a bloke who says that the war in Afghanistan is a cover for our Illuminati Freemason Shapeshifting Lizard masters to corner the market in mind-bending drugs. "It's true," he says, "I heard it on TalkSport". Tell us your stories of encounters with tinfoil hatters.
Thanks to Davros' Granddad

It's worth remembering though......that governments love conspiracy theories. Can't get enough of 'em. The wackier the better.
Because if, for example, anyone who asks about petrochemical conglomerates, arms manufacturers and private defence contractors hiring teams of extremely expensive corporate lobbyists to push congress into supporting the Iraq invasion, thus allowing them to create a war for monetary gain, can be lumped in with those who claim that 9/11 was carried out by Jewish lizard people who use weather balloons to control their thoughts, it effectively discredits anyone who questions anything, allowing those in charge to neatly sidestep any line of inquiry that might lead the ordinary person to conclude that their elected leaders are, in fact, responsible for financially motivated genocide.
That is all.

Funny you should mention it -Pal of mine says something the same. Reckons that the loony stuff from Project Bluebeam to the Roswell UFO crash crapola is promoted or at least allowed to continue to divert attention from what is really going on, which is of course the eternal grab for your vote and your cash by a succession of liars and cheats in government and business.
