The 21 Most Believable Conspiracy Theories

One that’s ignored here is the one of the Manchester Canal serial killer. The death rate along the canal is far higher than anywhere else in the country (the last count I saw was >70, but there have been a few more since), with the majority of deaths all fitting a similar profile (young, male and been separated from friends), yet every one is dismissed as an accident by the police quite quickly. It’s just very unusual. Too many people are dying along the canal for it to be normal.

Apple designs new versions of iOS to specifically lower performance on earlier model iphones, to make people upgrade. Somewhere there was a chart that showed Google searches for “slow iPhone” show a massive increase right before a new model is released.

That the sarin gas attack in Syria was the work of Al-Nusra supported by Turkey to drag America into the war after Obama established the ‘red line’. It’s Seymour Hersh’s theory and he spells it out in greater detail in his book about Bin Laden.

Michael Jackson’s weird behavior and strange health problems can all be attributed to his being chemically castrated. His whole thing about being a kid? Yeah, he was literally a kid. He was chemically castrated to keep his voice high-pitched. This explains his lack of secondary sex characteristics and wouldn’t be all that strange considering all the other shit his father put him through to ensure the success of the Jackson 5. There have been multiple books written on this topic and it seems very plausible to me.
