Conspiracy Theories

AIDS Is a Man-Made Disease
A number of scientists have argued that HIV was cooked up in a lab, either for bioweapons research or in a genocidal plot to wipe out gays and/or minorities. Who supposedly did the cooking? US Army scientists, Russian scientists, or the CIA. Mainstream researchers point to substantial evidence that HIV jumped species from African monkeys to humans.

While I think this is nonsense as a conspiracy theory, Greg Egan wrote a cool (and scary) story much like this that is available online:

The real reason we entered Afghanistan is to continue control over the opium trade.

How is that a "Conspiracy Theory", that's fact.

Same as went into Iraq for the oil.

Best YouTube video is the series where Popular Mechanics wipes the floor with those two chumps from Loose Change. I love it.

JFK Assassination

pssh everyone knows that Lee Harvey Oswald was trying to steal the Jack Ruby, but when Kennedy found out he needed to be taken care of so Castro kidnapped Kennedy and placed a look alike named Buddy Holly in power...but Castro left to many loose ends without eliminating the Holly character and eventually Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson started asking to many questions so he got the CIA to kill them, then crash a united airlines 737 to make it appear as if they died of natural causes. But then Buddy Holly's conscience caught up to him so he decided to come forward to Ted Koppel as Deep Throat. So Castro hired Oliver Stone to bring Lee Harvey Oswald to the 3rd floor of the Texas School Book Depository, then Castro made a deal with Kevin Costner that if he would shoot Kennedy from the Grassy Knoll that he would eventually get a role in a major motion picture detailing exactly what he did to rub it in the face of the American people. So Costner fired the shot and Oliver Stone made sure that Lee Harvey Oswald would be assumed to be the assassin so that Castro would get the Jack Ruby to himself

While most theories are a ton of BS, I almost feel just as sad for the people that dismiss everything right off the bat.

My personal favorite:

Mad cow disease is a hoax perpetuated by the liberal media, PETA, Oprah Winfrey and Hindus,
which is also known as the Quadrilateral Cowmission.
Is it a coincidence that cows have 4 stomachs...

were through the looking glass people.

Cows only have 1 stomach. That stomach has 4 compartments.

I'll believe that the government is more advanced than civvies in certain areas (sensing equipment like radar, sonar etc), but not genetics. Plus, even the super-advanced government stuff is built by private industry, and it trickles down pretty quickly these days...after all, the government isn't going to build their own private fab to custom-make every single chip that goes into a pair of night-vision goggles. Not to mention the research facilities and funding...no, this is not a reasonable theory.

Bah I think it was suicide. It was not something you'd think he'd never do (not too long before he had taken like 30 Roofies and drank wine in an overdose attempt) and although unfortunate, just not surprising.
