Conspiracy Roundup

[nacho]

Okay, a clearinghouse for conspiracy theories.  Forget about JFK and all that shit, unless it's something not mainstream.  I'm talking about stuff like Montauk:

On November 28, 1960 Torre Bert should have picked up this enigmatic message in Morse code: "SOS TO THE WHOLE WORLD". The message was transmitted from a moving spacecraft, that was, according to the two brothers, confirmed by its Doppler effect, and was sent three times. According to Judica-Cordiglia brothers, amateurs in Germany and Texas received the same message.

Three days later, Russian recognized that one of their launch failed, but they didn't make allusion to a human passenger. A similar recording was picked up on May 17, 1961 (according other sources the period is somewhere between 16-23 May) coming from a crew of several cosmonauts requesting assistance, among them a so-called female "cosmonaut" voice telling that there was flames and a fire around her. For Judica-Cordiglia brothers nobody will never know what happened as long as Russian will not decide to speak.

A third message was recorded on February 2, 1961. Presented to the famous hearth surgeon Dr Dogliotti, he affirmed that we heard an "heavy breathing" and the "fast beating of a dying heart". The Judica-Cordiglia brothers were convinced that Russian didn't shrink from sacrifying human lifes to affirm their supremacy in space.

At last, but there are other recordings, on June 14, 1963 our two brothers recorded a female voice alleged to be the one of cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. They claim that it was recorded two days before the official launch as declared by the Soviet authorities.

What else is out there?

One of the U Boats allegedly involved in taking Nazi treasure and refugees to Argentina:

977 and 530 were, supposedly, supply ships for the Antarctic base.

530 and 977 were certainly up to something.  Whatever it was, 977 completed the mission...but 530 suffered a mutiny.

Is this the thing where they say the government wants to implant everyone with chips?

And starting to come true, in a way:

Fuck that noise.

That's not the only source chattering about it, either.  Looks like that'll be a very real thing in our very near future.

RC mentioned Tiananmen Square in another thread.  Not quite a conspiracy, but the identity and fate of Tank Man remains a mystery:

Discovery or History Channel recently did a doc on him.

In my DB Cooper script, he meets up with Tank Man.

Wait, you're doing a DB Cooper script?  After I told you about mine!  LAWSUIT!

[Tatertots]

DB Cooper is the Tank Man!

Mine's already at the copyright office and in production in South Korea.
