Y'know, when I was a kid, there was all kinds of shit about the Bermuda Triangle—cheap tv documentaries, quickie books at the drug store, variations on shows like the Six Million Dollar Man. And now? Zilch. Did the Triangle just get safer or has the conspiracy moved on to a new, more sinister stage?

The opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba revealed that Amelia Earhart died of natural causes in 2001 at age 103 in her defected home of Havana with her six surviving grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren at her side. The CIA called off the search right then and ordered all incriminating paperbacks on the $2 shelf in used bookstores burned.Dr. Medulla wrote:Y'know, when I was a kid, there was all kinds of shit about the Bermuda Triangle—cheap tv documentaries, quickie books at the drug store, variations on shows like the Six Million Dollar Man.

The flaw in your theory is that it doesn't explain the Cult of Isis and the "shooting" at Sandy Hook.Rat Patrol wrote:The opening of diplomatic relations with Cuba revealed that Amelia Earhart died of natural causes in 2001 at age 103 in her defected home of Havana with her six surviving grandchildren and eighteen great-grandchildren at her side.

Yeah, they just want me to colour because pencil crayons are treated with mind-controlling chemicals released when used.

Re: The Ripe for Runaway Conspiracy Theory Thread
Yesterday I watched Adam Curtis' documentary Hypernormalisation, an expansive reconception of false consciousness that argues/rambles that reality can no longer be apprehended because of … well, lots of stuff that's happened behind the scenes since the mid-70s. Honestly, I can't easily describe the thesis because it has so many moving parts that are so disparate—seemingly disparate, to those who know—and that's why it doesn't persuade. It's a lot like the good ol' days of Deep Clash Theory. CK would present pieces of sensible argument but then link things up in such a way to make the sane just shake their heads. There are useful elements and ideas in Curtis' work, but by yoking them as some kind of hidden metanarrative, it just comes off as flaky.

Re: The Ripe for Runaway Conspiracy Theory Thread
Watching a series called Conspiracies on Netflix and the first one is the old chestnut on Hitler surviving the bunker. One of the promoters of this idea is a "renegade historian" (I have no idea how historians become renegades, short of robbing banks, but whatever) named Douglas Dietrich. Googling him results in:
