Conspiracy Theories

[supsim96]

They go back a long way as well e.g. the young guy from Whitehall who was feeding Sir Winston Churchill Foreign Office documents on the build-up of Hitler's war machine during the mid 1930's.

dont forget the titanic one.

it was sunk on purpose because of secret cargo

[supsim96]

Martin Luther King of course . . .

they do tend to be yank conspiracies on the whole . . . .

Jack Ruby etc etc

I read a book by a retired policeman about Lord Lucan, apparantly Graham Hill flew him out of the country and he ended up in Goa as a drifter named Jungle Barry, seemed very plausible to me, though as with most conspiracies you can never know for sure as most of the evidence that would be able to prove something for a fact are usually lost, missing, destroyed etc.....so it can never be a definitive fact

[Meatus]

not sure about that one,

the the theorists make a convincing argument. How would we ever know for sure? unless somebody came clean. Maybe Armstrong will admit on his deathbed that he was just jumping about the Nevada desert instead of being on the Moon surface!

Fake. If you look in the background of this clip of the "Small step/Giant leap" bit, you can see evidence of the studio set.

I think it was Newhaven. This led to the speculation that he got on the ferry and then threw himself off it or went to France and then who knows where. The drowning theory is dismissed by nearly all experienced local seafaring folk be they fishermen, coastguard etc, quite sinply they say no body was found and thats fairly unusual for this part of the channel.
