<p>Lets keep the weirdness to one thread. Apparently people fall for these because they get some sense of belonging when they sign up to them and other supporters usually welcome them with open arms because if someone else buys into their particular brand of bullshit they feel more secure in their weird ideas.</p>

<p>David Icke was a personal favourite, although he was proven right he said he for years that the bbc had a number of celebrities who were pedophiles and were protected by the establishment. The juries still out on whether or not he was right about the world being run by shape shifting reptilian aliens that live under the north pole. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.davidicke.com/'>http://www.davidicke.com/</a></p>

<p>A more recent favourite is the idea that the planes used on 9/11 were actually holograms. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://followingworldchange.wordpress.com/2014/06/21/911-planes-were-holographic-projections/'>https://followingworldchange.wordpress.com/2014/06/21/911-planes-were-holographic-projections/</a></p>

<p>Anyone got another others they want to share?</p>

<p>'The Titanic never sank'. i.e. why I'm so cynical about all conspiracy theories. People believe that what <em>shouldn't</em> happen, couldn't happen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then invent all sorts of complicated nonsense to justify themselves. .</p> -

<p>Not exactly the same one, but a very similar conspiracy theory tracking same territory is the September Clues theory that posits the whole thing was an elaborate coordinated media psy-op hoax where no planes were hijacked nor flew into buildings, and says that what live witnesses observed were missiles, or more likely that these "witnesses" were in-fact government agents and co-conspirators, and that what TV audiences saw was basically Photoshop. It's crazy-crazy stuff, but the detailed photo analyses will get your head spinning like the David Hemmings character in "Blow Up." Batshit insane, yet hypnotic and entrancing.</p>

<p>The one where the NZRU agreed to retain Henry, Shag and Smith after 2007 with the safety net of sending Robbie Deans to Australia as a double agent to stop the Wallabies from improving enough to upset the ABs in 2011.</p>

I quite like the one suggesting that the Anglin brothers survived the Escape from Alcatraz in 1962. A photo was unearthed recently of them taken in the 1970s in South America. Writing this on a tablet so can't link a story.......<br><br>
All things considered does anyone reckon they lived ? I think it's not impossible however unlikely. Having been to Alcatraz I can confirm it is a fucken chilling place, going there on a misty day sure helped add to the atmosphere. -

I actually spent a bit of time going over the 9/11 crack pot theories visiting their websites etc. And to be honest some of the inconsistencies and shit they brought up wasn't all that crack pot batshit crazy -

Didn't RFK shut it down ? His brothers murder is a conspiracy hotbed , I reckon the truth is way more boring and Oswald probably did it.</p></blockquote>

I think they shut it down cos it was more than three times as expensive per head as any other prison in America. I'm no great swimmer but having a look at the distance I'd back myself to make it. Of course this is not taking into account the Sharks, freezing cold ( even in summer when they did it ) and the currents which are apparently very tough to negotiate. -

<p> </p>
<p>Yes, the Clint Eastwood character.from "Escape From Alcatraz" who later became the Sean Connery character from "The Rock." (Funnily enough, the Warden in the Eastwood pic is none other than The Prisoner himself, Patrick McGoohan.) And they didn't float to the closer San Fran bay shoreline but instead went a farther distance to an island in the entirely different direction. (Allegedly.)</p>
