It's weird that Lee Harvey Oswald was claiming to be a 'patsy' after he got caught. You'd think a lone gunman nutter would want the fame and glory after their shooting. And it's also weird that Jack Ruby runs up to shoot LHO and then dies himself in prison. TBH I think it's odd that anyone looks at the whole Kennedy assassination and thinks to themselves that there 100% was definitely nothing going on there that we don't already know about. The whole situation is bizarre.
I get why there's a load of posts on this thread basically saying people buy in to conspiracy theories to make themselves feel special and like they're in some way superior to others, but I think it can work in the reverse as well. Some folk seem to immediately dismiss any of this stuff as a way to prove they're so smart they couldn't possibly be conned by a conspiracy theory like all the other shmucks.
Epstein killing himself in prison whilst on suicide watch and the camera suddenly malfunctioning is another one. Surely it's perfectly ordinary for people to hear that and think hmmm sounds a bit too coincidental.
The US soldiers going to get Bin Laden and then dropping him in the sea on the way back I always thought was a very weird story too.
Also I don't think you can just dismiss any conspiracies that get revealed and accepted as the mainstream as not being conspiracy theories. Like with the dodgy dossier one for the Iraq war. It won't have been Blair and Campbell's intention that the sexing up of the dossier be revealed to the public. If they could have kept that under wraps they would have done. And if they had been able to, and someone came on here saying the dossier was "sexed up" and full of falsehoods to get the country to go to war, others would be dismissing it as a wacky nutjob conspiracy imho.
