Conspiracy Theories/Quotes

""If you BOUGHT this in EITHER sense of the word? Please, please do us all a favor and jump under a fucking truck. I'm not even joking. You cannot be THIS dumb and still have motor functions. It defies all known laws of science.""

- Moviebob, in his review of X Files - I Want To Believe My Money Back!, regarding Loose Change

""It is a vast conspiracy. And the total lack of evidence is all the evidence I need.""

- Stephen Colbert on Obama's conspiracy to take our guns

"Becquerel: it just feels weird to kind of believe in something considered a conspiracy theory Shugo: Some are insane, others are cold hard fact. Never write something off just because a mainstream media outlet laughed at it on air. Do your own independent research."

- Kiwi Farms thread about Hillary Clinton fainting during a 2016 9/11 event

""People are prone to indulging our inherent biases when we try to figure out what happened during some mysterious event, and we are remarkably stubborn about not letting facts get in the way of what we want to believe. We also like to turn anything unexplained into a larger story that follows our own internal sense of logic and will incorporate any random scrap of knowledge that seems to support a pet theory. All of these things tend to combine to turn any case that catches the public eye into a clusterfuck of any wild theories the human mind can concoct, and it seems like the result is often a murky swamp of rumors, half-truths, misunderstandings, and outright lies that make it nigh on impossible to separate fact from fiction. If you send a bunch of hounds into the woods baying after a fox it’s impossible to track the fox later because its paw prints will have been obliterated by the dogs.""

- Kemper, in his review of True Crime Addict: How I Lost Myself in the Mysterious Disappearance of Maura Murray by James Renner.
