Whats the definition of conspiracy for the purpose of this thread Jegga?</p></blockquote>

Yeah the Alcatraz one probably doesn't qualify, I was thinking more "you think this happened because you are a gullible sheeple, this is what really happened open you eyes( insert batshittery here) .Post your favourite conspiracy theory and we can talk about it .Some of some are flat out insane , most are interesting though. The titanic one is a new one on me . -

<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.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>plenty of stories of people surviving in the water for long periods of time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>however I've changed my thinking on that after watching the vid from yesterday of a great white smashing a seal right next to the boat in alcatraz yesterday!</p> -
That's them. Fucken awesome plan to be fair, none of them were violent criminals, the Anglins robbed banks using a fake gun apparently but because all were serial escapists they were sent to 'The Rock'.<br><br>
Frank Morris ( the Eastwood character ) had an IQ in the top 3% but some say that the 4th bloke ( who was a bit wimpy in the film ) was the actual mastermind behind it.<br><br>
It's very unlikely they did make it, after all they were career criminals and so woulda been almost certain to offend again and get caught. -
<p>Not sure how to explain this "conspiracy theory".. essentially this guy is the biggest nut job I've ever come across in NZ. I'm actually amazed he's not in the looney bin, scariest bit is he's got people following him.</p>
'> </a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>First popped up on my radar when I saw on the news about the bunch of guys that stormed into that office in Auckland and kicked the staff out then tried to claim it back etc. Made my blood boil and wrongly assumed it was some sort of Maori land claim... Then my mate who's a cop pointed me in the direction of his youtube channel.. and holy sh*tballs. :idiot2:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't even know how to explain who or what he thinks he is. Have heard him refer to himself as the king of england, he thinks he owns pretty much 7/8ths of land under the english empire, that the british empire owe him trillions of pounds (that he's getting) and that he's off to put the queen and obama in gallows.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This guy is the best example of crazy I've ever seen. The saying 'the thing about crazy people is that they don't know they're crazy' couldn't apply to anyone better than this loon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However I'm secretly impressed by his rambling youtube videos where he talks for an hour - on god knows what but he doesn't pause or have to think about names or places they just seem to flow from within his brain - I have no idea what's going on in there but something ain't wired right!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not sure what vid to link to they're all as nutty as each other... here's the latest.</p>

<p>Cover up of people in NZ before Maori</p>

<p>How about a conspiracy about a conspiracy?</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The so-called "Birther "conspiracy" -- where Obama was supposedly not born in the United States, he was instead born in Kenya which would disqualify him as President -- you've probably heard that one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But did you know that hoax "conspiracy" was actually a false-flag fabricated and stoked by Obama himself to distract from his real Birther conspiracy?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<p> </p>
<p>See -- allegedly, so the theory goes cough and this is a doozy -- Obama is an American alright, born & bred in America, but not to that Kenyan father. The alleged father, the goatherder from Kenya, was a stooge, who participated in his role in a cover-up to acquire a Green Card. Barry's real father was an infamous <strong>communist pornographer</strong> <strong>Frank Marshall Davis</strong> who was already married with five kids by the time he knocked up Barry's teenage mom, and for good measure, those nude photos of Barry's mum that were sold & published in underground men's magazines, she was a couple months pregnant with Barry when those shots were taken by his father. I'm not saying I believe this stuff, I'm just saying it's one of my more fave recent conspiracy theories and it's at least as believable as most of the WWE programming I watch ("Screwjob," Owen's death, Benoit, etc., which is to say, tiny little bits of it are kinda convincing!).</p>

<p>It's a load of waffle to back up an aim of removing/ reducing the status of Maori in NZ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I actually have no problem with the concept of some early visits or short settlements that may predate the accepted migration times but also don't think it reduces the status of Maori. It could change it from 'we were here first' to 'we were here before you'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are a number of 'unexplained' early settlement stories in this part of the world, likely from very early under-exposed or failed expeditions. Ships of european origin sailing uncharted (to them) waters and going with the currents and winds seem to have regularly wrecked along the WA coast way before our known european visits. It is hardly beyond belief that some of them made ground as far as NZ and survived for a short period. Long enough to plant trees they had anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's the aspect of this being covered up for nefarious reasons that cracks me up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the claims is about DoC cutting down numerous very old Oak Trees up north to destroy evidence of pre-dated occupation. Doh, DoC cut them down to re-establish native trees and if the stumps are still there on public land, take a walk and count the growth rings dumb asses.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The photos on the page won't appear in my browser but they supposedly provide evidence of Oak Trees that are bigger than expected. Given that some varieties of Oak are very fast growing and that Oaks thrive in well drained acid soil (ie volcanic) and that theory gets shot down fast. I have seen these claims years ago and they drew my interest because of a connection. The trees they refer to around Drury were actually planted by the Runciman family. Capt James Runciman of that family also planted many of the trees that have grown so big in Cambridge as the town was established from being a fort.</p>
<p>We had a number of oaks on the farm grown from the same 'stock' and can attest to the speed of growth being quite fast. </p> -
What? 30 odd posts in and nothing on warehouses in the Utah desert with actors in the 1960s and the staging of the moon landing .....

<p>I dread to think what would have happened had the Titanic sunk in modern times. That conspiracy theory I posted on page one is relatively small... but imagine if it sank toda - how well would people accept that just 12 square feet open to the sea could sink a 46,000 ton liner?</p>

<p>Don't the giant Redwoods grow something like 5 times quicker in NZ than in California (they tell you this at one of the tourist spots in Rotovegas) however the wood is nowhere near as hard, therefore will never get to the same size.</p>
