I loved the show House of Cards when it started.lol
Honestly, I would not be at all surprised if even the REALLY 'out there' CTs had some level of truth to them!

They can get lefties clamoring for war, and conservatives demanding more spending, because of this idiotic team-sport called democracy.

As for your list...

1) I think Obama was born in Hawaii. It doesn't make sense why his mother would travel to Kenya to give birth. Especially for her first pregnancy.

2) Obama was a Muslim in the same sense that many children are Christians. They are whatever their parents are, and he was living in Indonesia. I also don't think Obama is a "true Christian", but I think he likes the fellowship, and I do think he believes in something like a god.

3) The Las Vegas shooting is such a strange thing that I have no idea what to think of it. But he shot a thousand rounds. It only seemed accurate because he was firing into a crowd. And almost no discussion about gun-control even came out of it, and almost no one ever talks about it.

4) I don't think they were trying to murder Finicum, but I do think it was another example of excessive force. The Waco Siege falls into the same camp. The Federal government tried to be tough-guys and got a lot of people killed.

5) I think if Obama wanted to kill Scalia he would have done it a long time ago. It wasn't politically-advantageous under the circumstances, and a conspiracy of that nature is difficult to hide. If anything, Scalia's death helped Trump by motivating Republicans.

6) Smollett has rich and well-connected privilege. If it wasn't Obama, it was countless others in Chicago just like him. Had Smollett been poor, he would be going to prison.
Yes--those are your opinions.

Unfortunately you have no facts to back them up. You do not even have alternative facts. It's all your opinion and speculation.

I don't believe conspiracy theories -- things do cross my mind regarding corruption in the WH, but I am not going to express them out loud--I'll wait and see. The truth usually comes out in the end, even if it is 20 years later.

Conspiracy theories are as valuable as fairy tales.

LOL I believe that too.

I also believe that LBJ gave Israel a free pass for their attack on the USS Liberty.

I think it is a cross between VEEP and Game of Thrones, but The principals in Westeros are playing 3-D chess and the WH is barely playing checkers.

yes i cannot give a link but the idea is/was that the US played both sides of any conflict in Mideast and we WERE sharing information with Egypt and therefore the attack was justified on military grounds

Hmmm. Conspiracy theories. Well, I think we all know that the government does some pretty spooky stuff. One particular incident does give me a reason to believe there was an agenda being pushed. Fast and Furious. That was an attempt to create an incident that would give Obama a reason to act on gun control via executive order. Bypass congress and enact a ban in the name of "public safety." It really blew up in his face though.

I don't think the Jews purposely attacked the USS Liberty, that was a tragedy but an honest mistake just like people in China believe we purposely bombed their embassy in Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War but that was a mistake too. Friendly fire does happen unfortunately.

I also don't believe that the government knew about 9-11 or Pearl Harbor and let it happen. I do believe the conspiracy theories about Waco, the Las Vegas shooting and about Benghazi very strongly and there's nothing that can convince me otherwise on these 3 events.

Kubrick filmed fake moon landings at the request of the US government to draw public attention away from the cabal of powerful individuals from the Illuminati who have made contact with the nordic alien race and who have successfully mated with them and produced offspring, of which Ivanka Trump is one.
