MY CHECKLIST OF PEOPLE I('VE) KNOW(N) - The government is spying on you (pre-PRISM) ( I stopped counting ) [VALIDATED] - Western Civilization is going to fall because of the EuroZone crisis ( 2x ) - Obama is a Muslim / Not a citizen ( 1x ) - TUPAC IS ALIVE ( 1x ) - Vaccines cause autism ( 5x ) - The military did secret testing of chemical weapons on its troops during Operation Desert Storm ( 2x ) - ... which lead to the test subjects having children with autism ( 2x ) - Aliens are real ( 2x ) - Ghosts are real ( 3x ) ... I'm sure a couple of these also believe 9/11 was an inside job. _________________________________ I also had a friend go down to Dallas last year and spend a day checking out the historical sights to be seen from the J.F.K. assassination. His trip report when he got back? Some people still think there was a second gunman. Some people think it was the FBI, or the CIA, or the Cubans. Fuck the grass knoll. Fuck the FBI. Fuck the second gunman. You wanna know why? Because some times shit just happens. People want reasons for things. But you know what? Some times shit just fucking happens.
Validated long before Snowden, if not almost from the beginning of modern postal services. I'm not sure this one ever counted as a conspiracy theory.- The government is spying on you (pre-PRISM) ( I stopped counting ) [VALIDATED]
The 'Ghosts are real' bit is tricky. Depending on how you phrase the question, I'm sure you could get tons of people to admit they believe in supernatural entities as part of their religious beliefs. When does that cross over into 'conspiracy' thinking?
