What is your favourite conspiracy theory that has been proven wrong/unfounded

I think you’re being deliberately awkward now. You could of course keep pushing the theory if you were inclined, and some people do, but my point was that the evidence that made the theory compelling and believable to me (doctored photographs, secrecy etc) has been explained since the Glasnost era. If it’s still a conspiracy theory it belongs with all the other fanciful ones as opposed to something that even sensible people looked at and said ‘yeah, could well have happened’

The most interesting theory I’ve heard is that one of his bodyguards accidentally fired the kill-shot, and that’s why there was so much shady government/secret service behaviour in the aftermath

This article just gets better as it goes on:

‘Mad’ Mike Hughes’
‘limo driver from California’
‘steam-powered vessel’
and then this beauty:
“I don’t believe in science,” Mr Hughes told the Associated Press (AP). “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction.”
