Do you subscribe to any conspiracy theories?

I don't invest much in any conspiracy theories, it doesn't help matters that the people who have conjured up the major conspiracy theories (David Icke) have been lunatics.
I do believe that corporations hold back "revolutionary" (if you can call things like HDTV and the Blu-Ray player as such) technology in order to maximise the profit potential, but everybody knows this and it's not really a conspiracy theory.

Are they holding them back? I'm probably just a luddite but to me it feels like they're pushing them before we're neccesarily ready for them. Hence how we ended up with HD ready tvs, and 3D tvs before there's really much to watch on them. To me it feels like we're being force fed every minor upgrade in technology, hence why there's a new iphone/ipad whatever every few months (it seems) each of which is only marginally more advanced than the other. As someone who remembers what a quantum leap it was to go from cassettes to CDs and from VHS to DVD, it feels like now we're effectively being sold a 'quantum' leap every week, only they're not quantum leaps anymore, barely even quantum steps.
Not only do I believe Oswald did it (cos, you know, he did) but some days I do subscribe to the anti-conspiracy theory that he was actually aiming for Governor Connally (whom he'd threatened before, and went out to try to harm before) and fucked it up...
Some days. Weekends mainly.
The difference is: HDTV is an immediate, obvious benefit (as well as the fact that the broadcast space vacated by analog transmissions was also needed for other uses). 3D is not. And HDTVs don't require those damned glasses....
And by the time HDTVs started being heavily marketed, there was a fair amount of content to watch on them. How many cable channels are in 3D now? Not many, I'd wager.
That's probably also true of the rich white dudes who party every year at Bohemian Grove. No secret election rigging, commodity price fixing, or sacrificing of naked virgins.
"The Masons"
My late grandfather was a member of them, although it was more in his youth and I can't remember him ever attending any meetings. He absolutely refused to ever discuss about the things they got up to.
In my experience, along with what I've heard, it seems that this secret society is nothing more than an American college fraternity that fronts itself with sophistication and codes of honour, until the booze is flowing...

That Denver International Airport things is crazy. I live in Denver and have been through DIA dozens of times through the years but I didn't know any of that stuff. The creepy horse statue is bad enough, but the conspiracy theories are crazy. I did vote 'other' because I believe that the Air Force has some sort of portal in Cheyenne Mountain that allows them to travel to other planets. It's possible I'm confusing it with that short lived show Wormhole Extreme, but I think it's real.
I still think the dryer is eating my socks. Does that count?
I believe the US government in concert with several nations is secretly running an intergalactic wormhole travel network and a vast spacefleet based on proto-human and alien technology out of the underground base at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.
Care to comment on that, Gen. Jack O'Neill? Or are we still to believe the only conspiracy you're aware of is the dryer eating your socks?

Well, my dryer DOES spin round and around.....
For the last time, Wormhole Xtreme is just a TV show!
Jeez. You sound just like my barber, Joe Spencer.
I don't believe conspiracy theories exist, I think they are just a ruse created by the Reptilians to spread controlled paranoia among their human slave race.
Like a record, baby, round round round round
I don't subscribe to or believe in any of them, although I readily admit that I reckon many of them provide priceless comedy value. I'm not sure which I find most hilarious - that so many people could shut up about the "fake" moon landing(s) for so long, or the "Paul McCartney is dead" and accompanying "evidence" drivel. Stupidity on that scale is pretty much impossible to grade, really.
