Oh CRAP I accidentally started an new conspiracy theory/cover-up

[Lost in CT]

(Note to the sensitive. The following story is in no way to make fun of or light of those tragic events in Africa we still feel today. It just happens to be the subject of a true cock-up on my part.)



I have an acquaintance who believes in chemtrails and MIHOP and UFO's building the pyramids.

A few weeks ago on a lark I gave him a little zombie earwig.

To wit that I had heard that the genocide in Rwanda was to cover up a zombie experiment gone horribly wrong. (I was clearly mocking him or so I thought)

Well needless to say he now claims I was somewhat wrong but onto something... (It actually has to do with AIDS and the polio vaccine in Africa) and the French secret forces did kill all those people to prevent the spread of the new Polio/AIDS disease that the French were experimenting with... and that it made people act rabid rather than zombie like.

And apparently some of his like minded friends also now believe this cover-up per the excited call I received asking me for more information.

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

So if you hear about the French Rwandan zombie AIDS polio cover up in the next few months from one of your more gullible friends I want to apologize ahead of time.

And for the lounge have you ever accidentally started a conspiracy theory as I apparently now have?

1. No No No, it was not the French! The French are just a scape goat to cover the real culprits

Certain, reliable, high placed, unnamed sources who can't be quoted directly, know the truth. The dirty little secret is that it was the Vatican.

Using Israeli technical experts and manufacturing facilities in India and Argentina, they were working on a genetically modified organism to convert ordinary dirt into natural gas. The Vatican would have had complete power over the world energy markets except ...

While setting up the pilot plant at a secret location in Rwanda something went terribly wrong, and the French were blamed for it.

8. Well that makes sense... but I heard it wasn't the Vatican but a secret cell

within the Salvation Army.

2. You could start a thread about plants in GD that would accomplish the same thing.

Or at least a flame war.

3. As usual, XKCD is appropriate for the occasion...

4. No, I have a picture of it! (Major Dial-up Warning!!!)

(It's a developer's screen-cap from Resident Evil 5, the plot of which is extremely similar to your "conspiracy theory" gone awry.)

5. Here you go.....

6. Don't let your conspiracy theorists see those...

you'll never convince them it's not true.

7. Meanwhile Big Business continues to conspire daily.

So the joke is on us.

11. Sure it's all fun and games till people start believing you....

10. That's just a new twist on an old one

that AIDS is a government experiment gone awry.

The truth is that I'm sure there are plenty of government experiments gone awry, and that means all governments who experiment with germ warfare.

Whether Rwanda is such a thing is just another twist on the government (some government) using AIDS as an experimental weapon.

Way to go, I say a conspiracy started is just another feather in the cap...

Of course it probably clouds reality enough that it to some small degree interferes with finding out the true causes and cures for AIDS. Luckily the scientific community isn't too interested in these conspiracies. :D
