I have the "Grand Conspiracy Unification Theory"

Which proposes:
1. All Conspiracy Throries are correct (To some extant)
2. All Conspiracy Thories are Wrong (in some areas)
3. The ones that conflict with others are both correct (It's uncertain which parts are right)
4. The Six Degrees of Seperation Theory Applies to conspiracies, thus all conspiracy theories are related.

Canada is the victim of a biological weapon attack by the US (Madcow, West Nile, SARS) in retaliation for not joining the Iraq War.

SARS was developed by the US and let loose into China in order to cripple them and destroy a potential military threat.

Aliens are actually our friends, but their enemies, the CIA a.k.a. MIB, are the ones who abduct use from our homes and are the ones who take pleasure in cavity probing us. The people in the CIA are actually another extra-terrestrial race themselves with superhuman strengths in speed and agility, as well as able to fire a gun with near-perfect accuracy. Their only weakness is crappy conspiracy theories like these. The good aliens ("grays") use people like us who make crappy conspiracy theories like this to fight their war against the evil CIA. If we stop writing these theories, the CIA will turn the Earth into a giant super weapon, turning us into slaves to run its complex systems of wheels, pullies, and gears.

Micheal Moore is actually conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. After all, besides the radically different viewpoints, they're pretty much the same. They're both fat guys that have the occasional fact contradict their personal prejiduces.

Microsoft OSs and computer viruses are actually made by the government of a foreign country (Or the big bad US government consporacy people usually mention) to wreak havoc on computers, hampering business.

Aluminum foil is actually a mind-reading device, so when you use it to block signals, you're actually making things worse.

The lack of plausible conspiracies I'm thinking up of is a conspiracy involving someone, and they're doing it for some reason, I dunno...

But if the SGAs are the good ones, then why are they the most common aliens in abduction stories? Or are there several factions of SGAs??

Propaganda from the gov't. They disguise themselves as greys and then kidnap people to turn public opinion away from the truth. Much like how the Agents allowed "The Matrix" to be released to make sure people won't believe the free humans.

Isn't this quite hard, since the average SGA is the size of a midget?? (Don't forget that abductees usually report SGAs as having fewer fingers than humans)

JFK was killed by Oswald. The whole conspiracy was invented to distract the populace from the real threat, the Nazis in their antartic bases.

Actually, Darth Yoshi is right. Like I said, the "Greys" and the "CIA" are enemies. They hate each other. But to make the populace believe that the "Greys" are bad and mean, they use sophisticated technology (including hampster wheels and duct tape) to make it appear as if the "Greys" were the ones abducting people from their homes, instead of the "CIA." It's all a big government conspiracy. And I have a strict warning for you: Don't trust anyone who wears black and white.
