Why Do We Not Accept The Truth?

My own take on conspiracy theories and our desire to ignore the truth!

Conspiracy theories there are literally hundreds if not thousands of them, have you got a favourite? bet you have is it about “Titanic” or the “Kennedy assassination” or did we really land on the “Moon” or was the “Vietnam war” started over a card game?   I promise you they are endless conspiracy theories.   Ill list the well known ones that immediately spring to mind.

The “Titanic” disaster in 1912, the British ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean, it sunk in a shade over 2 hours, with the loss of 1,500 lives one of the largest loss of life apart from war deaths.  Researchers have come up with a credible explanation a series of events fell into place to bring this disaster about.  An iceberg had drifted into the shipping lanes, that was unusual for that time of year.  There were no binoculars for the look outs, the rivets that held the steel plates together on Titanic’s hull were of an inferior grade and failed on impact with the iceberg.  The safety compartments didn’t go high enough to stop the sea water flooding the whole ship.  There wasn’t enough life boats for over half of the passengers, they drowned in nearly frozen water a human tragedy.

Conspiracy theorists deny the ship that sunk was the Titanic at all, they claim it was her sister ship the Brittanic why? isn’t the loss of life interesting enough for the CT [conspiracy theorists] it is claimed the Brittanic was damaged severely in a shipping accident and required thousands of pounds to repair properly.  The White Star line, bodged a repair if you will a temporary repair, swapped ships name plates ie Brittanic to Titanic, according to CT the White Star line swapped over all the cutlery from Titanic to Brittanic, they even claim they swapped propellers as the props were part number stamped and had the name of the ship stamped into the props. 

According to CT the White Star line let all 2,000 passengers board knowing the ship would most likely founder! the White Star line did all this to claim the insurance money on the Titanic look alike!  The accusations are terrible even libelous!  The CT’S theory is even more complicated than the disaster itself.  I cannot imagine any person let alone a company carry out such a heinous crime.

    You’re on the right track . None of the conspiracy theories you note hold any water. Being cynical by nature of my past work I don’t believe everything I’ve read about the deaths of Kennedy and Di but it has naught to do with conspiracies…just a bit of omission here and there.

    Whilst I agree with everything that you say in your article… I’m still a sucker for conspiracy theories. I think part of it’s down to the imagination required to create a conspiracy theory in the first place.
