Conspiracies

Conspiracies

Some people today have some funny ideas.
Why is it almost everyone has a conspiracy theory.
Who shot JFK?
Was it a Government plot,
The  Mafia,, it was certainly not
Lee Harvey Oswald.
The shot came from the grassy knoll
We have all seen the film clip
Not from where we have been told.
Anyway that’s what I think.

Many don’t believe that man set foot on the moon
They say it was filmed in Hollywood
Anyone can see the join.
And what about that flag,
There is no wind on the moon
It says so in my Encyclopaedia.

Then  there is  Marilyn Monroe
Was it  suicide
Murder, a cover up. ?
Concealed and stage managed.
By whom, the Mafia, the Establishment.
We will never know.
She was too needy
Poor girl
All she wanted was to be loved.

Do you think there are Aliens?
Other beings from far away Galaxies
Tiny green men with
Big black eyes out on stalks.
Rubbish, its all made up.
If there was any intelligence way up there
In the universe.
Why would they want to invade
Or even visit Earth.
Crazy old world that she is..
Unable  we are told to sustain her people.

She is over populated,
Constantly at war ,
With natural disasters on the increase
Temperature rising
Polar ice cap  melting
Animals and insects threatened with extinction
There habitat destroyed.
Even if these Aliens  kill us all and replace us
What is left for them.
 Nothing!
Is this too a conspiracy?

Many believe that out Saviour
Is God in heaven
Who comes in many guises,
Has many names.
Is a powerful god 
Religion being a powerful tool
That  keeps conflict alive
It seems tailor made for those
Inspired, to keep minds and bodies 
Ever alert to their causes.
Who in their wisdom feel it is the solution 
To  all our problems.
Is this a conspiracy
You tell me.

Hi Val, good stuff, have you heard all the coincidences between the assassinations of JFK and Abraham Lincoln?

Both were elected to congress and president 100 years apart, both were shot in the head on a friday - by assassins born 100 years apart (both assassins were known by their 3 names with 15 letters in total!), both their successors were born 100 years apart and both had a secretary the other ones surnames!!!

Spooky, there's more but thats the gist of it, maybe theres something in it after all - I love these coincidences if thats what they are! JX

I don`t believe in the cult of Conspiracies. It just amazes me how many there are and some do tend to raise doubts about what we are expected to believe.

You have crammed so much in here Val. Lots to think about, too much for my little brain. Remember watching a program on the moon landing con' theory and after it was completely convinced it wasn't true. Problem is using selected facts most arguments can seem so plausable. Win x

Oh Val, don't start me off.
I think there's a conspiracy here to get us to tell you what we know! You'll have to do better than that.
Now! where's my cyanide pill! :-)

Hi Val,
BIG question! Is religion a conspiracy theory? BIG debate! It seems obvious that for some it brings hope and comfort, for others it's merely superstition - a force to divide rather than unite people. I've encountered the most seemingly rational people who have been taken in by conspiracies. It seems to me that the greatest conspiracies are those we choose to ignore. Like they say, "The truth is out there." An interesting subject to explore though!
Regards,
A.E.
