I thought I had heard it all when it came to conspiracy theories, the big ones at least.
You know, the JFK murder, the moon hoaxers, the 911 Truthers, and so on.
But I heard a new one tonight.
Being a movie buff and a big fan of Stanley Kubrick (of moon hoax fame, no less), I was looking up something I saw in the film Dr. Strangelove. The B-52 nuclear bomber crew receives an attack order message over an encrypted piece of radio equipment which is labeled "CRM-114". In this scene, the camera dramatically zooms in on the device as it sounds an alarm to alert the radio operator of an incoming message, and the name is clearly shown.
Knowing things in movies like that are often planted on purpose as a reference or an in-joke, I decided to look it up. Sure enough, CRM-114 shows up in several Kubrick films. several other films, and on a few TV show episodes.
But I also found a video in which a conspiracy theorist makes the case that it's all a part of secret messages passed by the Illumanati and the Hollywood elites and so on. Nothing new there, pretty standard CT stuff. As usual, the video has comments and ratings disabled, because people who post such nonsense really hate being called out on their BS. Aside from that, it's kind of a fun spooky documentary on the CRM-114 meme (pre-internet meme).
But the new one on me was the narrator's assertion that the Cold War was fake, and that nuclear weapons apparently don't really exist!
I must confess that one is new to me, although a quick search turns up quite a few hits. Wow, wonders never cease!
I won't post the video here, but if you go to youtube and search on "Unified Code Theory: Kubrick's CRM 114" it'll pop up. And, of course, there are also videos specifically dealing with the fake nukes conspiracy theory. Maybe when I'm bored I'll check one out.
