I'm dubious about number one but that's it... LHO may have been one of the trigger men but I believe there was also a second shooter.

The thing is every other year we have a new "expert" that tries to sell us a new theory.
One of the latest and wackiest ones is that a Secret Service agent accidentally shot him from a following car.

The rest lack credibility IMO.

Number 9, Electronic banking, is interesting. Been around forever but it's more real than conspiracy. Hackers make accounts go poof! all the time.

Occam's Razor is simple to use.

That list is sad. It is astonishing anyone car really believe any of that crap.

We all know that invisible unicorns and Bigfoot is running the world.

Copied this explanation from the article comments regarding the Bermuda Triangle. Kinda makes sense.

"The bermuda triangle is a dangerous area for ships and planes alike because of methane pockets beneath the sea bed. These pockets rise up and if they hit a ship, that ship would sink, given that the size of these bubbles is around 200 meters in length; as for the planes, methane rises through the air as well, when it comes in contact with a plane, the air density is lowered and the plane plummets."

Neither.

I should have said that I believe 2 and 3 could be true.
And I also believe that anybody that thinks we know everything that goes on is retarded.

Add DDT to the list. Ever see the Doc who goes around the world talking about children dying from Malaria and how the ban on DDT is responsible for millions of deaths from Malaria? He then proceeds to drink a pint of DDT in front of the audience. Has been doing it for years....

Interesting. He makes a good argument, I'm not knowledgeable on the subject though personally...

Overall I don't believe in conspiracy theories, mostly because no one can keep a secret.

Moon landing - lots of political figures with motivation to discredit it that stood to gain from such a discredit taking place - but it didn't. I'd say that one happened.

Chemtrails, it would surprise me that experiments in this tech wouldn't be tried.

For me, the bat crazy education we have in this country has to have some sort of "conspiracy theorist" following out there.

Russia would be the leader of the pack wanting to disprove our landing. They KNOW it was real because they monitored all the missions.

Moon landings. The number of people who would have to be sworn to secrecy - and the possibility that just one would let something slip would have been enormous.

Why would you go to the huge undertaking of faking it and then fake it five more times..!?
