I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

Conspiracy theories I like = Time Cube, Birds Arent Real, Roswell Rods, Reptilian Shapeshifters

Conspiracy theories I hate = Qanon, Agenda 21, Plandemic, Elders of Zion

Conspiracy theories that seem to be very complex/fleshed out = Fake Moon Landing, Jet Fuel Doesn't Melt Steel Beams, Gangstalking

Conspiracy theories that turned out to be true = Tobacco company cover ups, US govt spying on people, various assassinations and political destabilization efforts eg assassination of Lumumba, carpet bombing of Laos, Operation Condor, weird shit like Israel facilitating the funding of Hamas.

I thought gangstalking was just people thinking they're stalked by some 3 letter agencies. They are more elaborate than that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

@RandomStickman way more elaborate! They have all these theories about technology and techniques stalkers use on them. Also gangstalking involves a lot ofstalkers and they have theories about how we get recruited to stalk them.

I once stumbled across one of their forums back before everything moved to message app groups. For example they were talking about this new tech some of them had apparently noticed, that allows stalkers to see them through walls.

Not only were they giving accounts of it happening, they were also talking about how they thought the tech probably worked and what are the tell-tale signs you can look for to see if it is being used on you.
