For them, life is a constant loop of conspiracies and alternative facts. The earth is flat, we never landed on the moon, we’re being poisoned with chemtrails and fluoride, some people are ‘reptilians‘, etc. Yeah, I had to research that last one.
There’s enough real corruption, conspiracy and crime going on without adding a big pile of stupid to the mix.
Life is complicated, messy, and random. Not everything goes according to a diabolical plot.
Even if you show them documented proof, they’ll claim it’s fake.
Some of the most popular conspiracy theories include “9/11 was an inside job” and “moon landings were faked in a TV studio”, like ‘Capricorn One’.
The 9/11 “Truthers”; a menagerie of wack-job conspiracy theorists who believe that either the government had specific warnings of the impending attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, or worse, that it was behind the attacks. They have even gone so far as to claim that the planes that hit the WTC and Pentagon, which were seen and videoed in full view of millions of people, (North Tower, South Tower, Pentagon) were somehow enhanced by computer optics or some other technological trickery.
Scientists, architects, and engineers, including those who built the World Trade Center, have spoken up to debunk these crazy-assed theories and the loonies who embrace them.
The buildings did not “implode”, they collapsed under the weakening of the structures resulting from the jet-fuel-based inferno. Those planes were chock full of flammable material which in turn, caused massive fires to spread throughout the buildings.
There isn’t a shred of credible evidence to back up these claims that 9/11 was an “inside job.” The so-called “evidence” is a loony theory made up by people who are so full of hate for this country they want to believe it attacked itself on 9/11.
Here are CREDIBLE sources that have debunked every single Troofer claim. Popular Mechanics published a comprehensive, detailed, investigative analysis which dissects all of the myths and idiotic claims surrounding the attacks and the subsequent damage.
Some of the blame can be laid at the feet of the incompetent, dismissive assclowns in the FBI hierarchy, who refused to believe that Al Qaeda was a national security threat. No conspiracy, just depraved arrogance.
Bottom line: The 9/11 atrocities lie directly in the hands of the practitioners of a murderous, brutal, violent theocracy that declared war on the West and envisions a New Caliphate. By the way: The first attack on the WTC was in 1993, by the same brand of muzzie thugs. They tend to forget that.
The simple facts are too hard for them to understand.
The moon landings (there were six in all) have been a constant source of bilious agitation for the conspiracy crowd.
All six landing sites can be viewed by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), which can dip as low as 31 miles (50 km) from the lunar surface, close enough to image each landing site in remarkable detail.
8 photographs of the vehicles left on the moon shows the Apollo 17 landing site taken by the LRO in 2011. They show the descent stage of the Lunar Module Challenger. Its sharp shadow reveals how high it protrudes above the surrounding surface.

The Apollo program involved thousands of people working towards a single goal. Every stage of the mission and every component of the spacecraft was planned in meticulous detail by experts from dozens of different specialties. If the goal of the program wasn’t to put someone safely on the Moon and return them safely, it seems incredibly unlikely that someone wouldn’t have worked this out.
The amount of effort it would have taken to maintain the conspiracy seems so great, that actually landing on the moon seems on balance the simpler option (relevant Mitchell & Webb sketch here).
Even worse, the conspiracy would necessarily have to extend beyond NASA. The moon landings were independently confirmed by nations all over the world – including the Soviet Union.
There reaches a point where if your hypothesized conspiracy involves the collusion of both sides of the Cold War then you’re attributing so much power to the conspirators that there seems little point trying to uncover it.
……The continued popularity of the Moon landing hoax conspiracy theory is odd, given the continuing accumulation of evidence against it.
Part of the reason may be that with the advent of Photoshop and the increasing use of photorealistic special effects in movies people have become used to the idea that images and videos can be convincingly altered, forgetting that these techniques were virtually non-existent in 1969.
Troofers are entertaining…painfully delusional, but entertaining.
