The Kennedy assassination is the mother lode of conspiracy theories, and increased distrust in the government.   Depending on your bent, it was the CIA, the mafia, the KGB, the fatal shot was an accidental shooting from a secret service agent discharging his weapon from a car in the back of the motorcade.   I recently watched a documentary on amazon, where the gist of it was Kennedy faked his own death and put a squib (movie special effect for a gunshot) on his head and was living with Aristotle Onassis---that's why Jackie married him.   There's 5 right there.

The one I heard was that JFK was going to be a boxer before entering politics but he couldn't take a shot to the head.

Listen up Sheeple. We all know Aaron Rodgers won the Superbowl, the MVP, and the Miss USA pageant last year, and the CIA, Zombie Ralph Wilson. The Bilderberg Group, Joe Biden, Michael Jackson and the Franciscan Gay Man's Catholic Choir of Nova Zemba covered it up, and made up a story about him hurting his Achillies in the first game, when WE KNOW THATS NOT THE TRUTH ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF MY USE OF ALL CAPS!!!! Do your research.  If Aaron Rodgers has hurt his Achillies tendon (and we all know the Trojans won that war, not the Greeks-so much fake fighting, so much fraud, Agamemnon is a loser. It shouldn't be called the Achillies tendon)  if he had hurt his tendon he would have gone into his dark Gotham Batcave below the stadium with the bones of Jimmy Hoffa, planted his ankle in the ground like a mushroom, taken more mushrooms, burned a truckload of COVID vaccines and VIOLA! Instant healing!!! Big Pharma lies!!! Connect the dots. Rodgers is a Jet. What leaves chemtrails-Jets.  Who flies the planes-the Lizard people. What color are lizards? Green.  And how do we really know Al Green isn't the antichrist? Do you have any pictures of him hanging out with Jesus? YOU DO NOT! So to recap -Aaraon Rodgers-stable genius -miracle worker - Superbowl LVIII MVP and emperor of Arrakis! He has all the spice.

Although your ratio is obviously exaggerated immensely to help drive home your point that even though sometimes outlandish sounding claims end up being true, many times they’re just incorrect stories, I do agree with you.

 

 My point wasn’t to say every story or claim made is true, it was simply to say the conspiracy theory label is thrown around by some people who’d rather not think critically or question their own belief system.

How do you know?

The weirdest part about our modern conspiracy theorists is that they seemingly believe every conspiracy. It’s like they do it just to be argumentative. They’d likely get more traction with their whacked out ideas if they were a bit more selective. 

Totally agree.   While there is nothing wrong with skepticism, that same skepticism should also be applied to the conspiracy theory and the motive of the people peddling it.   You will frequently find it's money.   Buy my book, watch my movie/documentary, buy my miracle cure, listen to my podcast, watch my youtube channel.    There's plenty of grift money to be made.

I admit some have been proven true but proper context is needed on what qualifies as conspiracies before determining whether over 99% of them are bs.  There's 1,000's of 9/11 conspiracy theories of who did it but obviously only one of them can be correct.  I'm not trying to be difficult here.

What conspiracy theories have been "proven correct"?   After 60 years, there's as much proof that the CIA killed Kennedy as there is that the Cubans, Russians or Mafia killed him.   John Wilkes Booth died in a barn in southern Virginia in April 1865.  FDR didn't know about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor before it happened.   Hitler didn't escape to South America.  Astronauts landed on the moon several times.   9/11 wasn't "an inside job".   Speculation, rumors, coincidences, debunked pseudo-scientific theories and outright lies do not constitute "proof". 

 

And it was Tessio that betrayed Michael Corleone, I always suspected it was Clemenza, but Tessio was smarter.

There are some conspiracies. A very very small percentage of them are true. 

 

Ben Franklin said it. "Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." If there's no clear evidence, it's almost certainly not true.

This is common knowledge, many so called conspiracy theories have been proven correct, not sure how you don’t know this. I could list plenty but what’s the point ? You’re obviously coming from a place of skepticism and if you were genuinely interested in educating yourself about the topic you would have already done so and certainly wouldn’t be relying on a stranger on a message board to do so.

Some gems 💎 from this guy’s latest pod…

 

“Due to Kennedy’s views, as well as his family history, Rodgers believes the independent candidate is ‘in danger.’

‘They killed his uncle, killed his dad,’ Rodgers said. ‘We know the CIA was involved. I mean, they can’t declassify it because it’s so damning. We know the FBI was involved…”

 

“Bobby’s in danger. He’s putting himself on the line. Why? Because he f***ing believes in this country.”
 

‘That is, like I said earlier, the archetype of everything we love about Luke Skywalker and Han Solo,’ Rodgers continued, ‘everything we love about Frodo and Sam and Eragon, and Gandolf, and Merry and Pip. Everything that we love about Gamora and Groot and Rocket and Drax… These people believe in something.’ “
 

Is it just me or is this guy sounding a little too checked out even by off-season standards? 

 

I won’t say much, because people in glass houses should not throw stones.

 

Due to the fact that I honestly believed for the last two years HUDS has been slowly poisoning me in my Swanson Hungry Man Lasagnas.

Nothing wrong with challenging group think, the conspiracy theorist tag is pretty silly at this point in history with all that’s been proven correct after carrying conspiracy label.

 

 You’d think people would know better by now.

 

Group think is Rampant everywhere. If you take a middle ground stance on something, 40 percent of the country will be furious at you one way or the other.

 

Conspiracy theories are generally exaggerated version of things that people should be concerned about.  Unfortunately, some people on the left are willing to call any deviation from media reported status quo a conspiracy theory.  In the same way, some people on the right will call any belief system different from theirs "woke".

 

If people stopped calling people overused buzzwords to demonize opponents and talked things out more, the world would be a better place.

100% agree, social media has contorted reality for many… most people, I’d say 70% pretty much believe in the same principles and understand the world around them in the same manner.

 

 It’s social media that has everyone believing we’re all so different.

11 Unbelievable Conspiracy Theories That Were Actually True | HowStuffWorks

[soflabillsfan1]

20 years ago when people were talking about an island in the Caribbean where wealthy/powerful people were going to have sex with minors, that was a conspiracy theory.

[Mister Defense]

One of my happiest days as a Bills' fan, at least when it comes to a competitor's move, was the day the jets signed Rogers, a quickly fading, narcissistic head case.  It meant HUGE money tied up in a player who would never come close to challenging the Bills, and one team wrecking head case added to one of the three teams in their division. 

 

Now, he just gets worse and worse, crazier and crazier, and is as  dumb as a box corn flakes. And throw in 'despicable character' to boot, and I assume all attending the Jets game are looking forward to letting that nut have it, and relentlessly,  when he comes to town.

 

I hope he keeps exerting his power and control over his team--and also takes a cue from Brady and plays many more years...

I don't think you understand the difference between a conspiracy and a conspiracy theory.  

 

If something illegal or sinister or unethical, occurs that's the result of two or more people planning it, that's a conspiracy.  Conspiracies leave clues that remain available after the fact to investigators -- conspirators themselves, people that conspirators may have confided in or confessed to or who may have seen something/heard relevant to the conspiracy, forensic evidence, various paper or electronic records, surveillance film or photos, etc.  Investigators may not be able to gather enough evidence to convict the conspirators in a court of law  or it may take them many years to get enough evidence to do so, but there is always some evidence of the conspiracy very early on in any investigation.    An example of a famous conspiracy in the US: Oklahoma City Bombing

 

A conspiracy theory is an alleged conspiracy that's lacking with any substantial evidence that an a conspiracy exists.   The supposed "evidence" that supports conspiracy theories is most often denial that a single individual could have carried out the action so there must be others involved.  Another kind of "evidence" believers cite to support some conspiracy theories is pseudo-science or debunked science.  Frequently supporters of conspiracy theories may cite coincidences or omissions or mistakes as "evidence" of a conspiracy by someone. 

Conspiracy theories linger for decades because no evidence ever comes to light, no matter how much rehashing of the facts.  There are no death bed confessions from co-conspirators.  No researchers working on other historical events about the same time never find some physical evidence that sheds new light on anything.

I think everyone reading this discussion who operates in good faith understands what’s being discussed without the need for a Wikipedia reference. 
 

 Everyone knows what the original poster meant when referencing conspiracy theories, even if the definition only somewhat overlaps the topic at hand in this thread.

 

 The bottom line is people throw around the term conspiracy theory now like it’s going out of style, most often done so to shut down any real conversation, that was the only point I was making, nothing more.

 

 I‘ll politely bow to you good sir and allow you stake your ground on this subject and take home the win.

 

And for the last time I’m out, I mean it this time lol.

11 Unbelievable Conspiracy Theories That Were Actually True | HowStuffWorks

 

Thanks for the enlightenment.   I think that many of those conspiracy theories, though, rather quickly crossed over to real conspiracies because evidence that there was some truth to them was found.    The Business Coup was discovered before it took place.   President Kennedy nixed the CIA's terror plot they intended to blame on Cuba.  The 1970s CIA assassination plots were discovered by Congress only a few years in.

And I can learn and look things up just like any normal person, you know. I can do my own research, which is so vilified, to even question authority." - Aaron Rodgers.
