It is important to note often rediculous crap is used as a straw man to distract or disregard a real crime A conspiracy theory is an attempt to explain a perceived real-world occurrence through the actions of a secretive, usually evil and very selfish group. Not all conspiracy theories are wrong, but if the theory requires greater suspension of disbelief than random chance would to explain the occurrence, it should be examined skeptically. Conspiracies manifest themselves across the political spectrum. Most of the theories in the list below are crackpot, but a few, sadly, are reasonable and a couple are almost certainly true.

See also: Climategate. AIDS was created by the CIA and deliberately spread by the WHO via polio inoculations in Africa, to reduce the world population. All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up: cold fusion. that AIDS is not caused by HIV infection. that mercury in the vaccines is causing autism.

The UFO wreckage theory is used as a smokescreen by the government to cover up the fact that Area 51 is a testing ground for experimental aircraft. The United States Department of Defense (DOD) is experimenting with: ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) for communications and possibly mind control. HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) for possible use in weather control as a weapon. Green M&Ms (or in Canada, Smarties) contain aphrodisiacs.[2] The Scalar Interferometer is a powerful scalar wave superweapon that the Soviet Union used for years to modify weather in the rest of the world.

Project Blue Beam will be used by the antichrist when he comes to the Earth to trick people that Jesus has returned. This tactic was used in Operation Mongoose to brainwash the American troops into overthrowing Fidel Castro. [edit] Terrorist conspiracy theories The government is minimizing the involvement of up to 17 men besides Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh in the OKC bombing, said men likely to be government informants and/or provocateurs.[4] 9/11 was staged by the US Government. 9/11 was staged by the Israeli government. 9/11 was staged by the Illuminati. 9/11 was staged by the Rothschilds. JFK jet fuel and other maladroit terrorism attempts are conspiracies World Trade Center Building 7 was purposely detonated by Them to prevent discovery of secret plans for something-or-other.

RFK was not killed by Sirhan Sirhan, acting alone, or that Sirhan Sirhan was brainwashed into killing Kennedy. Martin Luther King Jr. was not killed by a lone gunman, either.[8] Mark Twain was the mastermind of the assassination of William McKinley. John Hinckley, Jr. had been brainwashed into trying to assassinate Ronald Reagan, at the behest of George Herbert Walker Bush. This attempt to kill Reagan and let Bush step in failed, though by a very small margin. Alternately, it was to bolster Reagans popularity (although he was already), and set Bush up to succeed him possibly. Bush deliberately lied to get the US to invade Iraq. (As opposed to being simply incompetent.) President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allen Dulles and Chief Justice Earl Warren were all Communist agents[9] The Reagan campaign made a deal with the Iranian government not to release the hostages until after Reagan was elected President.

Theres evidence for this one. Oh, wait—theyve admitted to this one. The entire left wing movement as it exists today is run by Moveon.Org and the DailyKos, and is funded by George Soros. The swine flu outbreak of 2009 was engineered by the American government, with the eventual aim of declaring martial law, herding everyone into FEMA concentration camps, and forcibly vaccinating people with the virus in order to deliberately depopulate the Earth so that the masterminds of the New World Order can take control. A vast number of American institutions are working together to turn America into an amoral, humanist country, ripe for merger into a one-world socialist state. At least according to the book Mind Siege.

The Aurora and/or Sandy Hook massacres were US government hoaxes calculated to create an atmosphere in which gun control legislation could be introduced. The eye-witnesses who spoke to media were actually crisis actors. Atheists/Muslims/Religious minorities want to oppress Christians. TWA Flight 800 was shot down by the Navy/Air Force/CIA/Other agency with an acronym. The statue of Liberty was built by French Freemasons to secretly represent Lucifer.

(See Rothschild banking family of England at Wikipedia) The evidence? Theyre Jewish! Oil companies are deliberately suppressing better car technology.

The corporations are secretly but deliberately planning to kill us all. The Second Bush Iraq War is really about getting oil for China so that the Chinese can ship cheap goods to Wal-Mart. Monsanto Company is secretly maneuvering to control the worlds food supply using GMOs (genetically modified organisms). That theres a secret banking system even more profitable than hedge funds that only the rich have access to, but if you know the right people and pool your assets, you can make massive amounts of cash... Big businesses and politicians are in league to increase the number of prisoners in the US to make a profit. (Again some evidence for this) [19] [edit]Religious conspiracy theories Jesus did not exist at all There is a huge, organized conspiracy to commit the Satanic ritual abuse and murder of small children. The Dead Sea Scrolls have been deliberately suppressed because they reveal a lost truth about Jesus. Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdalene... ...and they had kids... ...and the Knights Templar are still around and trying to prevent people from finding out. The Knights Templar also invented the idea of fiat currency and central banking. The Jews secretly run everything (the international Jewish conspiracy). The Jews were behind the 9/11 attacks.

That all modern secret societies are branches of a single, ancient society called the Brotherhood of the Snake.

Pro wrestling is real. Most, if not all professional sports are staged. Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced by a look-alike. The Earl of Oxford/Francis Bacon/Queen Elizabeth/Christopher Marlowe wrote the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare of Stratford, who was just a front-man. Andrew W.K. is more than one person. May be Luciferian in nature and tied to many occult movements. [25] The National Football League is an Illuminati created distraction because its founder, Walter Camp, was a Skull and Bones member. [edit]Just plain whacko conspiracy theories The Royal Family of England, along with the Bushes, the Clintons, and many other rich, prestigious families, are actually man-eating shapeshifting lizard-people from the fourth dimension.[26] That the above conspiracy theory was invented by another conspiracy to discredit the true conspiracy theorists. That the 2012 Olympic games in London were to be used by the New World Order to hoax an alien invasion, implementing a single world government while the populace was distracted. [27] The Royal Family of England, along with the Bushes, the Clintons, and many other rich, prestigious families, are part of a massive multi-generational conspiracy to...well, its not clear, but it involved switching from a 432 Hz A to a 440 Hz A.[28] A Yiddish secret society called Goy Cabal is using Wikipedia as part of a plan to dominate the world.
