Okay, I admit it, I love a good conspiracy! Considering their popularity and plague like proliferation, I get the impression that an overwhelming amount of people love a good conspiracy. To the best of my understanding, most are a crock of BS. Most are forged like any great TALL TALE of fiction by mixing fact and fiction to create a somewhat believable story. That gives a never-ending life to many conspiracies. Over on Live Science, Benjamin Radford posted a list of their top ten greatest conspiracies. I had heard of all but one the conspiracies. I was surprised at the order of a couple of the listings. I did not notice a statement as to why they placed them in their particular ratings order. Here is the list in reverse order, enjoy:
10. The 9-11 US Government Involvement Conspiracy (Fueled by the Bush Deranged!)
09. The Princess Diana Murder (As government conspiracies run – this one seems to have marathon legs.)
08. Subliminal Advertising (one of my personal favorites)
07. The ‘69 Moon Landing Hoax (As a kid I had many an argument with adults believing in this one)
06. Paul McCartney’s Supposed Death in the Sixties ( #9, #9, #9)
05. The John F. Kennedy Assassination (The death of E Howard Hunt recently threw some wood on this fire.)
04. The Roswell Crash Cover-up (You mean their was no Grays? Only at #4, ??? WOW!)
03. The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (One I had never heard of!)
02. Satanic Cults (Go Geraldo, Go! Maybe the evidence was lost inside Al Capone’s vault.)
01. Big Pharma Drug/Cure Suppression ( This number one rating has to break the hearts of Big Pharma Haters.)
