Or worse, that you are just a b actor in a Truman show where the whole cast doesn’t know they are on the show??

And the world is out stage.

No, but I've sat at the gorilla enclosure at the zoo and wondered what side of the glass I was on.
Some googling led me to this: http://educate-yourself.org/. Seems to be a source of information on just about everything. Poke around a bit, its fun.

There are several theories surrounding the death of Princess Diana. I knew of a couple, but there is a Wiki here that indicates there are several more.

No surprise there. Its too good to miss, but there is no 'search thread' option on GRM...
I love constructing a good conspiracy theory and challenging someone to tear it apart.
One of my first was caller ID! Back when Caller ID was an additional paid feature, I noticed that my phone would ring with no one on the other end. I would then immediately see a commercial for Caller ID! Told my brother that they fired up the computers to make a lot of phones (not Caller ID customers) just before these ads aired to boost sales.
My big political one concerns the 2016 Republican primaries. 16 candidates were selected to strip electoral votes so that no clear winner got enough votes to be selected. Purpose was to prevent certain candidates who might win but were not controllable by the party and allow the party to choose the next candidate. I went so far as to conjecture that knowing how toxic Hillary was to so many, they wanted someone to lose or at least not derail the current leadership. Trump got in because no one took him seriously and he might actually help by getting a few electoral votes. I called the whole deal a circus and they thought Trump was gonna play the clown.
Still working on a few! Epstien is too easy so I leave it to others.

"James Jesus Angleton, head of CIA counter-intelligence, once told me that when the CIA pulls off something, it muddies the waters by placing different and conflicting stories in the media. The result, he said, is that there is too much to investigate, and people end up arguing with one another over which story is correct, and the facts of the event are never investigated." Craig Paul Roberts
Oooo, I've just remembered a good one that's relevant to GRM. Go googlymoogly and you'll find that there are people who believe Ayerton Senna was shot. Their main proof? A) he was too good to lose control of the car, low tire pressure and ride height be damned. B) and this is the clincher. The onboard camera has a fraction of a second of interference right as he loses control That's where the tape has been doctored with to hide the bullet coming into frame.
In reply to Adrian_Thompson :
Had not heard the bullet one but did hear the one with the same arguments applied to the theory that the steering column broke
The steering column thing was just the Italian authorities desperately looking for a reason other than a track safety issue. It was a mass diversion from the start and could count as a conspiracy theory in it's own right.
HEre's another one. Have you guys heard of the great train robbery? It's infamous in the UK as one of the most audacious robberies. It was a train hold up in 1963 where they got away with the equivilent of $100mUSD in today's money. While some people see it as some sort of working class getting it over on the man, it was in reality a brutal robbery that left the train driver seriously injured and ended his career. The main ring leaders were caught, but three people have never been identified and the money not recovered. One of the perps was a racing driver who's career ended as a result of doing time. There has been a long running rumor that good old Bernie Ecclestone was one of the three mystery men who got away.

Along the same vein D.B Cooper is always a good one.
"Supposedly" not a crazy story but the Forrest Fenn treasure is always an interesting read too.

Love D.B. Cooper. Especially as the middle B initial has nothing to do with anything, it was just a mistake by a paper adding a B to the Dan Cooper name he gave, but it's stuck. While still officially unsaved, I think the money they found a few years ago kinda confirms he died in the act.
I don't believe non of has mentioned the famous 'oil companies suppressed the 100mpg carburetor' myth yet!
I thought it was a given that Jimmy James was DB Cooper.
I mean... two first names? Starts with same letter? Jeez it's all right there.
Apis Mellifera said:When I worked for the Dept. of Agriculture I got asked all the time why we dropped rattlesnakes from airplanes and several people told us they saw some of the sasquatches that we'd released. Though I worked with invasive species, snake planes and sasquatches must have been handled by another section.
I suppose the rattlesnake one may be about this. But we did have one neighborhood here attempt to deploy a truck of black rat snakes.
My favorite game to play with conspiracies is to imagine you are one of the characters involved in the story, come up with some educated guesses about what's involved, and figure out what you'd need to re-create the results. For example, if we assume Chemtrain Conspiracy Gas needs to have a concentration of 10 parts per million to be effective and a cloud of it persists to a depth of around 100 feet over a target area, how much of it will you need in liquid form to blanket a square mile? Or, if we assume the pill that turns water into fuel is converting the water into methanol (which would have about the highest ratio of elements in the water to new elements), how much carbon is in a pill that treats a one gallon bucket?
Both of these will give answers that are way out of proportion to what's described in the conspiracy theory.
Okay here's one to ruin your kids:
The world of Pokemon is controlled by a group of dystopian regional warlords in the form of gym leaders. They clone civil servants, enslave then experiment on the Pokemon, and indoctrinate the citizenry from a young age to go on completely insane journeys into the wilderness in order to recruit them for the military.
Then there's whatever the berkeley is going on in the Thomas the Tank engine world.

Maybe there really is a real life "Mr. Burns" out there...
Didn't you hear? NASA hired Kubrick to fake the moon landing, but he insisted on filming on location.
