Conspiracy theories

There are allegations that people with ASD are more prone to following conspiracy theories than the average Joe. How do you define a conspiracy theory?

  • Perhaps one of the major ones of recent years is one that I can't help myself but subscribe to.  9/11.  Too much that happened that day simply doesn't add up.  I'm not sure who was responsible... but when I read testimony from architects, structural engineers, demolition experts, munitions experts, air crash investigation engineers, scientists, police patrol men, firemen and countless others who've either investigated the disaster or were present on the day, I can't help but believe that the world was sold a lot of half-truths at best, and a huge bunch of lies at worst.

    In the simplest terms, WTC 1 and 2 should never have collapsed in the way they did.  And WTC 7 should never have collapsed at all, considering the minimal amount of damage it suffered.  Come to that, 1 and 2 shouldn't have collapsed at all, either.  Even a fully-laden passenger airliner striking structures of their size and strength would be the equivalent of a high-velocity rifle bullet being fired into a fence post.  It might do considerable damage to the post... put it would remain standing!

    But that's just my tuppence-worth on the subject....

    Maybe one man's conspiracy theorist is another man's truth-seer!

  • I'm not going to discuss the technicalities of 9/11 here but what I'm intrigued about is why there is still much interest in 9/11 but hardly anybody in Britain is interested in 7/7 any more.

    A friend researches 7/7 so he is well aware of the near total lack of interest in the event. He is particularly interested in the mystery Jaguar and is trying to find out if there were any connections between Germaine Lindsay and Morten Storm.
