What's your favorite conspiracy?

... After that, the rest of you guys can take your semi-believable conspiracy theories home.

Mr Icke is a former soccer goalie and may indeed have bumped his head on a goalpost at some time, judging by his rantings about reptilian hybrid bloodlines and other such disinformation.

I suppose he's correct in assuming that world events may be engineered behind the scenes by the fabulously wealthy and influential, but that's hardly a revelation.
 
... to what end?

In my perhaps simple-minded view, to make social structures ever more compliant with the consolidation and further accumulation of private wealth and power. The end result might be something very like a worldwide fascist-type government.

If we proceed to examples this discussion will soon be shut down, so I'll let it rest here.

Re: the bolded section: I agree and will attempt to refrain from taking this anywhere that will get it shut down.

Perhaps my view is over-simplified, as well. Within the context of the conversations I had with my old friend, the group in control of world affairs was all-powerful (alien technology, the ability to start and control the outcome of wars, the stock market, etc). To me, that makes no sense.

A group that has that kind of influence wants for nothing. They are at the top of the food chain with nothing threatening their existence. At that point wealth and money are not even an afterthought. There's no need to subjugate the masses if you already own them.

You are as close to god-like as can be imagined on this planet. In my view, the only reason to weild that kind of power is for ego....and what better way to stroke an ego than to be recognized as one of the few that run the planet? Yet this super-secret society keeps themselves behind closed doors and supposedly continues to pull the strings to add pennies on top of what surely must be trillions? Makes no sense.

I'm not saying there aren't people with stroke that don't "run" a country, but the worldwide conspiracy bit just doesn't float to me.

Kennedy assassination by far.

+1.

I love Bill Hicks's take on it:

"I love talking about Kennedy. I was just down in Dallas, Texas. You know you can go down there to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was assassinated. And you can actually go to the sixth floor of the Schoolbook Depository. It's a museum called... 'The Assassination Museum'. I think they named that after the assassination. I can't be too sure of the chronology here but... Anyway they have the window set up to look exactly like it did on that day. And it's really accurate, you know, cos Oswald's not in it."
