Excellent vlog guys. Conspiracy theories…. I was a UK government employee for 30 years. There is no way that the UK government is competent enough to organise a party in a brewery, let alone execute then cover up the murder of a high profile individual. By extension, this would apply to all other governments in the world. Government is just not clever enough!
@makadeni123 The Baker Street bank robbery was the theft of valuables from a Lloyds Bank on 11th September 1971. It just so happens that my brother was a Lloyds bank, bank manager. There were government restrictions on allowing the contents of some of the content of the safety deposit boxes to be published. Some of the theories say that there were compromising pictures of a royal contained. That’s hardly a conspiracy. The government slaps restrictions on reporting all the time for ‘national security’ reasons. It’s not on the scale of assassination or alien contact cover up. Conspiracy theorists will turn everything into a conspiracy because they are limited in imagination (in the same way flat-earthers and creationists have to make up fairy stories) and have lost their grip on understanding how the world works. Conspiracies are usually low level and exist to cover up incompetence.
On the whole, conspiracy theories over estimate the competence and ability of people in positions of authority, and I think that is often a projection by conspiracy theorists of their own imagined competence and ability.
And underestimate the clearly provable circumstances surrounding some bug things. 400,000 people worked on the moon landing- like only 100,000 worked on Nukes and far fewer understood that they were working on.
I have often wondered if it isn't a stubborn refusal to acknowledge the scary fact of just how incompetent and powerless we humans really are. So they make up these stories that at least make it seem some group of humans actually have control. So they project that competence and ability that only exist in Bond-movies, and not in actual reality, on those people.
I don't know if you have already reacted to it, but "The Daily Quiz" is a dark and funny series of sketches from Mitchell and Webb. The basic premise is that some disaster (probably nuclear war) has happened, and the BBC is still transmitting a daily quiz in an attempt to pretend that everything is OK 🤣
"It's amazing how good governments are, given their track records in almost every other field, at hushing up things like alien encounters." - Sir Terry Pratchett
As the universe expands at such a rapid rate, only a complete dupe could believe in the ridiculousness of aliens being here. There is just no way. And also, no evidence.
@@True_Heretic Look at it this way, there are probably aliens out there. But if they have the ability of faster than light travel - they would be so much more advanced than us, it would be like us of today compared to ancient Rome. Why would they even try to land in the first place? We got nothing that interests them.
Imagine if Gabe got a job at Area 51. No secrets ever again and he would have a garage sale with ET's ship for $20; "Get rid of this garbage. I could get a pool table in here, cousin!"
The WHOLE point is that there would be absolutely NO point or remote chance in sucessfully implementing ANY of the three conspiracy theories they were making fun of.
Governments are always in a race for new technologies to secure the state. When you have sightings of seemingly physical objects that show up on radar and seemingly defy gravity and seem to be much more advanced than anything any nation on earth has you would study the phenomenon in secret to gain any knowledge of said advanced tech without any enemy nation knowing. At one point in time, Diana was indeed a threat to the very survival of the royal family The space race was very important, too. It was a huge flex by the U.S., during the Cold War, signalling their superior technology to the Soviets. So whether you believe they went to the moon or not, the motivation was definitely there at that time in history.
The Area 51 security isn't that unusual really. I used to have a job for the British Post Office years ago where I wasn't even allowed to tell anybody what my job was or where it was based. It was a mundane job, it just had a lot of money around which hardly anyone knew about so that people wouldn't try to steal it. Then a alter job where there was some sort of massive computer. No idea what that was, but the point is that preventing people from knowing things is common practice and doesn't have to be about aliens. (And if anyone is getting any ideas, these places I worked are long gone!)
Also it's well known that Area 51 was, and probably still is, where they used to build and test new plane designs. X planes (as they were designated at the time) were also generally unpainted metal (there are plenty of photos around now). So all those shiny flying objects near Area 51? I mean... much more likely to be test planes is all I'm saying :)
The original clip is a quite old, and these conspiracy theories seem pretty mild compared to more modern ones like COVID, vaccines, 5G, and 15 minute cities. However the same principle applies: if this conspiracy theory was true, who would benefit? And how many thousands of people would have to be sworn to perpetual secrecy?
The moon landing; "how many people are sworn to secrecy" All of NASA, all the corporations who made the stuff, the Soviet Union, the UK, Australia, etc.
@@joyfulzero853 and all of them kept their secret for decades, not drunkenly letting it slip once. And by contrast, Donald Trump led a conspiracy to overthrow the US election results with just a few dozen and it was exposed almost immediately by those on the inside.
I love a conspiracy. As we'll never really know about many of them, I just see it as a nice thought experiment to open one's mind ans think outside of the box.
On his motor bike after colliding with a sexually-enraged rhinoceros that escaped from a French zoo and made it's way, unseen, through the Channel Tunnel, in pursuit of a transgender grand piano. Who is so suspicious that they cannot recognise the plain, unvarnished truth when they see it?
I guess there's no need to be concerned because when we are all corralled in slavery, well, I presume they'll be precious little we can do about it then.
The people who go in for conspiracy theories are usually mediocre in every respect. They crave attention but haven't got the skill, personality, money, talent, or anything else needed to be the focus of attention. Putting forward or simply adopting conspiracy theories makes them think they'll appear to be more interesting or intelligent & gives them a feeling of superiority because they have managed to work out, or are in the know about, things that the general public doesn't know exists. It's simply a way for them to feel valued, & they delude themselves that people telling them that they're wrong about their wacky theories are simply jealous of them. It's sad, in a way, that they crave attention so much they're willing to be considered crazy, instead of simply working hard at their deficits or on their personality to make people interested in them. I pity them, but they are annoying when you cannot even have a rational discussion with them. They'd rather believe governments or large organisations would spend larger amounts of money or time trying to trick us all than doing the thing that's the focus of the conspiracy, as Mitchell & Webb clearly pointed out. In historical times, it was easy to believe a conspiracy theory. The general public was not as educated as today, & scientific knowledge was harder to acquire, or simply the advances necessary to understand the concepts involved hadn't been formulated. Additionally, you didn;t have the sun of human knowledge at your fingertips. Now, if we have a question, a quick search online can throw up all the answers we will ever need. There is simply no excuse in the present day to rely on conspiracy theories & not facts.
I agree with you there. An additional point is that I think people crave order over disorder, even if it is bad. In historic times, people believed that it was all God's plan, despite the chaos actually resembling no plan.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist myself, but... I think it's pretty widely accepted that at least the general foundation of JFK theories are somewhat true. Even a few acting presidents have basically said as much. We just don't know the bigger details because they've never declassified anything. That is why it's harder to make one of these about jfk... because it doesn't immediately fall apart under scrutiny like the others.
Awesome to stumble on this shit tier channel watching classic Mitchell and Webb comedy sketches. Sucks that you failed on audio levels so the funny video is quiet and then your awkward cackling is boosted ro infinity.
This is the only comment on point. Your reaction and comments afterward showed you clearly didn’t understand that Mitchell and Webb were dismantling the absurd reasoning of a conspiricist
I'm not into conspiracy theories, but the pentagon does release footage of unidentified flying objects every now and again, how can they not know what they are?
Good choice J&N. Lost two people to Covid, none to the vaccine. There is a massive conspiracy against valid science coming out of the USA that most of the rest of the world doesn't buy into. As educators I hope that you guys will continue to endorse the principle that things that should be taught have some kind of genuine validity, as the alternative is something serious dark and ugly. I have a teacher test. To find out how good a teacher is. Its the same as my Parent test. If the kids are joyous, energetic and enthusiastic, they are being well teachered, and well parented. But that's not enough by itself. Individuality has to shine out as well. Hopefully, the days when a child exhibited individuality and was blythely labled "immoral "as a result, repressed, even sectioned, are permanently gone. But there is a lot of weird stuff going down in America these days. To the extent that I think that nobody should rest on their laurels. But hey. I'm maybe being too serious. Your channel is genuinely fun and I really like it. Bon chance mon amies!
When I hear states banning books and clearing out all classrooms and libraries of books, I want to start having my students read all those books. It breaks my heart.
@@Jodi_BoringReviews Yeah, I think most of my education came from reading hundreds of books after I'd left school. When I didn't have to. Always preferred doing things when I didn't have to.
Not that the top teams have the most money to buy the best players, and even if there is a decision to be made, it will generally go to the players who show more skill?
Innocence or guilt are not decided by the ignorant masses. And why should Tate get special treatment over everyone else just because he is worshiped by a small group of people? If you decide to hole up in some crappy Eastern European country, then you have to deal with a crappy Eastern European legal system.

Hahahahaha! If only the numpties had such experience, then the only theories left would have some basis in reality. Hope you got a nice pension.
Conspiracies aren't done by people who work inside governments, they're done by the people outside governments
But they can employ someone to do it for them
They said anti vaxers were conspiracy theorists, who guessed they were actually correct
'Life imitating art', on hearing of Diana's death. Wicked.

I think there's very much something in that! @@stoferb876
The JFK events were fully explained in the Red Dwarf episode "Tikka To Ride" (Season 7 Episode 1). - but don't tell anyone else.
I heard area 51 is where the army does their laundry, they don't want people seeing what they wear under the camo

That’s probably accurate.
Of course Area 51 is private but it's a huge leap from standard procedure to aliens.
How else do you explain Gabe "appearing" in the USA?
