Some conspiracy theories just won't stop, I know I often create them for fun out of the blue? Not sure why I like to create conspiracy theories, maybe it's more fun that writing Sci Fi? Who knows, but recently I created one about the cruise ship off the coast of San Diego which had an engine knocked out. First they said it was a fire, then they said it wasn't, now they say it is. Ah ha, everything we need for suspicion, curiosity, and a full-blown - give it to me baby - conspiracy theory - oh yah!
Turns out someone read my cruise ship conspiracy theory where I said the engines were knocked out with an electromagnetic pulse weapon! Guess what someone read that article and has been investigating all this. My reader tells me "We have some good friends who were on that ship. When the engine room "caught fire", it wasn't just a fire...it was an explosion felt all over the ship. Despite the crew coming over the intercom repeatedly saying there was no fire, the ship was engulfed in smoke with all hands running to the engine bay with fire extinguishers."
Oh this good yes! But it gets even better as my reader notes that "the most interesting part is...no one had cell phone reception after the "fire" happened...for the entire duration of the trip. The cell phones worked just prior to the fire, but not after. I'm not sure if this is due to an EMP, or, more than likely, the ship had cell phone jamming equipment on board, which is more and more common these days."
Can you see how the conspiracy plot thickens? Who done it? Was it the Russians, Chinese, or maybe a North Korean submarine? Was it underwater space aliens? I mean this stuff is cool right? So, now I am thinking, hey, I really did create one heck of a conspiracy theory, just like the pros, experts, and counter intelligence agencies spread them? WOW, holy smokes, that is VERY interesting. But what if the conspiracy is real? Okay drum roll now and fade to late night mystery radio theatre background tunes, or better yet the Art Bell - George Noory "Somewhere Out There" theme song. Get down, this is cool stuff. So, could it be real? Maybe?
Of course, the ships relay system, on-ship cell phone + satellite relay might have been taken out if the ship lost power, and those.5 watt cell phones only go a little distance and they were pretty far out to sea, so, that might be part of the cell phone question. Although you'd think the ships cell tower and communication system would be on back-up generator power, so it would seem that it would still work. Or everyone tried to call and it immediately jammed up the cell system which couldn't take the increased traffic with everyone getting on at once.
Still, this brings up a very interesting point of contention, makes me speculate further and ask even more questions now. Anyway, the entire event sure sounded fishy, and there seems to be MUCH more to the story, something is up! But then my reader drops the bomb, I mean really throws in a "what if" - almost making the conspiracy seem real! My reader said; "Some other info they shared, but I didn't think as much of it as they - was that an aircraft carrier arrived at the ship almost immediately and Navy Personnel boarded the cruise ship. Our friends thought much more of this, but this was reported in the media and it appears this was to assist, not for protection."
Turns out that my reader's friends also said that the electricity was out for the duration of the trip, not even back-up power for lighting? Even the satellite phones were not working, but all this points to an electromagnet pulse? Okay another drum roll please, and this time let's play the Twilight Zone theme song and keep this conspiracy theory alive - "don't ya just love it, chicka boom, chicka boom!" Okay it gets better, you see the cruise line company claims it was just a simple fire in the engine room, but my reader asks would that send a massive shockwave through the ship, which kills all the power too? Next, my reader asks the dubious question; "I understand the ship not wanting to start panic at the time by not telling the truth, but there's no reason not to come clean now." And "I find it one heck of a coincidence that this ship was disabled within a day of a missile being launched from the ocean in the same general area (within 200 miles of each other). In both instances, the extent of what actually happened has been withheld, for reasons good or bad."
My reader is speaking to the question of the missile launch off the coast of Los Angeles, also unexplained, and that for sure was not ball-lightning! So, let's consider these additional points of contention. Yes, cruise ships have several back-ups systems for crucial parts of the ship. Medical Facilities, lights, bridge power, communication, etc. A nuclear aircraft carrier, what? 35-36 knots max, not sure, but to go 150 nautical miles 4 + hours. Yes, why was an aircraft carrier nearby? Good question!
The second point is also one I considered as well. I do not believe in coincidence either! I understand there have been some unexplained things which have happened out there some 163 miles South West before, a couple of years back - grape vine stuff. And there have been some interesting "events" discussed in the past off the coast of Catalina too. Someone has a secret out there, and they aren't telling anyone, which is exactly how to get conspiracy theories rocking and rollin' - so please consider all this.
