My favorite conspiracy is that he & Epstein have been trafficking girls, young women, and even boys, and using the product to blackmail GOP leadership into "supporting" him. How many times since 2015 have you asked yourself, "What does Trump have on [X]?" after a private meeting and abrupt policy flip? Blackmail material is useless once it's public.

That’s like… one of my least favorite conspiracies. You have odd preferences.

Yeah, my favorite is that Jim Morrison agreed to fake his death to get the US government off his back for how his music fueled counter culture at the time. He laid low for a little, and then re-emerged as his new persona, Glen Danzig, the leader of the horror punk band, The Misfits.

For me it’s the Gunpowder Plot but probably only because it failed.

Enron is a pretty good one too, since it resulted in the collapse of one of these shitty megacorps.

Most conspiracies are just depressing shit though like the Reichstag fire and the Business Plot.

At least MK Ultra gave us some wild stories.

Enron is a pretty good one too

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the NBA draft lottery is rigged. People always say "oh no it couldn't possibly be rigged because it's overseen by the accounting firm Ernst & Young". It used to be overseen by the accounting firm Arthur Andersen until they got busted aiding and abetting the Enron scam.

When I was an accountant my shred box had "Arthur Andersen Audits, 2000-2004" on the front of it. Big laughs every time someone saw it

I always imagined the Business Plot going down like...

this war hero who gave his entire life towards serving his country walks into congress exclaiming "by god you all need to hear this, these unscrupulous businessmen came to me trying to get me to pull a coup..."

congress goes - ...slow blink... no need for a coup, they already own us. the war hero leaving with his entire reality shattered as he knows noone (no common man, atleast) would believe his story, especially not after the story is spun by the media conglomerates that were a part of the plot

then in a followup phonecall congress exclaims... "godfuckingdamnit JPM, do you really have to pull this prank on every other innocent (in the conscious sense) war hero we got? doesn't that ever get old?"

I could absolutely see Mother as a Doors tune.

I can’t tell their voices apart.

I think Jim Morrison re-emerged as Val Kilmer.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That would be tricky given the difference in height.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Guvment stole his inches

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I mean I've never seen Jim Morrison and Glen Danzig in the same place at the same time, that probably checks out

Personally mine is a JFK conspiracy. There were no shooters. JFKs head just did that

There is without a doubt a giant black mail ring that encompasses a bunch of politically powerful people.
