List of conspiracy theories

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.

Scientific conspiracy theories

Public health

• The Codex Alimentarius is a plan to poison us all.
• There is a deliberate conspiracy on the part of the government and nuclear industry to intentionally poison the public with radioactive food.[1]
• 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 that AIDS is not caused by HIV infection.
• All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up that mercury in the vaccines is causing autism.
• Water fluoridation is part of an insidious Communist plot to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. See the film Dr. Strangelove.
• The mass die-offs of honeybees are attributable to megacorporation's desire to control the food supply.
• The "cure" for cancer actually exists but is being suppressed by the government.
• Environmentalists banned DDT on an worldwide scale, which resulted in the deaths of millions in Africa. The liberal media covers for them.
• 5G is a population-control conspiracy.
• Virus outbreaks like the 2020 coronavirus pandemic are triggered by 5G
• The Chinese government is behind the COVID-19 outbreak. (While bullshit, it’s worth noting there’s evidence China was more interested in saving face initially than actually warning the world about the outbreak. So, while not deliberate, you can argue their corruption has played a part in the spread.)
• There is no COVID-19 virus and it’s a smear campaign by the West to discredit the Chinese government. Or it’s liberals trying to destroy Trump’s presidency. Or it’s- well, short version is absolutely anyone you please. Yes, this includes reptilian shapeshifters.

Secret weapons

• The United States Department of Defense (DOD) is experimenting with:
  • ELF (Extremely Low Frequency) for mind control.
  • HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) for possible use in "weather control" as a weapon.
• 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. See , . It taps the quantum vacuum energy, using a method discovered by T. Henry Moray in the 1920s. It may have brought down the Columbia spacecraft . See also .
• The "Russian woodpecker" over-the-horizon radar signals heard on shortwave radio are actually a Soviet mind control experiment. You can protect your brain by wearing you-know-what.
• 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.
• The Aurora aircraft was a rumored aerospace "black project" of the US military. Rumors about the Aurora started after the word "Aurora" had been inadvertently included in the 1985 U.S. budget, as an allocation of $455 million for "black aircraft production". Typically believed to be a hypersonic, stealth reconnaissance aircraft (a follow up to the SR-71 Blackbird), there has been no substantial evidence that such a plane ever existed, although some (non-crank) industry experts contend that Aurora, or a similar program did exist.[2] The US military did/does actually have "black" aerospace projects, like the "Have Blue" program of the 1970s, which resulted in the F-117 stealth attack plane. Similarly, some industry experts believe that NASA's current X-37 unmanned space plane project actually operates as an Air Force black project for spying on, and potentially destroying, Chinese and Russian satellites.[3][4] Aurora is closely associated with conspiracies surrounding the Groom Lake remote detachment of Edwards Air Force base, commonly known as Area 51.
• Scientists have developed a tsunami bomb or earthquake bomb capable of causing incredible devastation. Such a thing was reportedly investigated during World War Two but there's no evidence it caused the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami or any other recent disaster.[5]

Astronomy and geophysics

• The lunar landing was a hoax and was staged in a movie set.
• The Moon is fake/transparent/flat/tiny and eclipses are also faked[6][7][8]
• Global warming is a hoax created by the UN and politically funded scientists/environmentalists, aided by Al Gore and many others to put cap and trade in place for monetary gain. See also: Climategate.
• The Earth is in meltdown and the climate engineers are doing everything they can to hide this fact. Toxic chemicals and metals are being used in the creation of engineered snow storms. Very little water appears when this chemically nucleated snow is melted.[9]
• The Earth is hollow, with a hole to the "underworld" located in the Arctic regions, protected by the world's superpowers.
• NASA and numerous other government agencies, all the world's astronomers, scientists, airlines, transport companies, and millions more, are conspiring to deny the fact that the earth is flat, with an army of supersoldiers guarding the ice wall around the outside. Why are they covering this up? Who knows?

Nuclear and energy

• The World Health Organization (WHO) is part of a conspiracy and cover-up of the effects of Chernobyl.[10]
• There is a cover-up which has obscured knowledge of a childhood cancer level 10 times the United Kingdom’s average along the North Wales coast.[11]
• World governments are covering-up the true magnitude of problems from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant destruction.[12]
• All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up cold fusion.
• Eugene Mallove was whacked by the evil forces of Big Physics and Big Energy to prevent him from perfecting cold fusion (never mind that he wasn't actually working on any such device, merely promoting the idea.)
• Revolutionary free energy technology is being suppressed by governments and the oil industry.
  • It is possible to power a normal car with plain water.
• Similarly, big oil and big science are conspiring to cover up methods of generating abiotic oil.

Extraterrestrials

• The United States is hiding UFO wreckage at Area 51.
• 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 US government is operating a Stargate program and that the Iraq War may have been caused because Saddam Hussein had one.[13]
• Ample evidence of alien life and civilization exists in our solar system, but is covered up by NASA. See Mars Anomaly Research and Lunar anomalies.

Evil scientists

• All scientists are trying to foist the false theories of evolution and the big bang on the public at the behest of Satan.
• CERN is using the LHC to open a portal to hell, or change reality.
• It is only a matter of time before "they" start implanting RFID chips in humans[14] (As described in the movie Conspiracy Theory starring Mel Gibson).
• The vaporous contrails left by commercial jets flying through cold air pockets are actually chemtrails which disperse some form of harmful chemical/biological agent/energy.

Terrorist conspiracy theories

• The government is minimizing the involvement of up to 17 men besides Terry Nichols and Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing; said men likely to be government informants and/or provocateurs.[15] Some also argue that McVeigh's execution was staged and that he is still alive.
• 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.
• 9/11 was contrived by a directed-energy weapon that literally "dustified" at least the top 80% of each tower. The weapon was installed and operated by ... Oh, that doesn't matter. The weapon was situated at .... Oh, that doesn't matter either.
• 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.
• The Pentagon was not hit by an aircraft on 9/11, but a US missile.
• The 2009 swine flu outbreak is a terrorist attack.
• Osama bin Laden is not dead / has been dead for long / is an invention of the American government.
• Anders Behring Breivik was secretly a pawn of the Islamists/Jews/Masons/(insert bogeyman here).
• The CIA blew up/shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (No one outside of Russia takes this seriously).
• The CIA captured Malaysia Airlines flight 370 and flew it to Diego Garcia, for the purpose of… er, something or other.
• Al-Qaida captured Malaysia Airlines flight 370 and flew it to… er, somewhere where there was a long enough Al-Qaida controlled runway. It is now being prepped for the next attack on the evil USA.
• The Islamic Caliphate created the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa, and plan to weaponize the virus (e.g. by exploding an Ebola victim in Times Square.)
• The assassination of eight journalists at Charlie Hebdo in January 2015 was staged by the French government as a pretext for a crack-down on the Muslim population.
• The November 2015 Paris bombings were also staged by the French government as a pretext for a crack-down on the Muslim population. Apparently Charlie Hebdo wasn't enough.
• The March 2016 bombings in Brussels were a false flag operation staged by someone in the interests of something or other.
• The November 2017 First Baptist Church shooting was a false flag operation to TAWKE ER GUNS'! (Just wait, something's gonna show up, and it's probably gonna involves guns. Ironic, as the shooter may have been gunned down by a civilian neighbor of the church who owned a gun. Certainly, this individual played a part in driving him off. Thus, the shooting, while tragic, does show that responsible gun owners can help stop terrorists though probably not worth the trade-off overall.)
• The 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, was not by Muammar al-Gaddafi and Libyan intelligence, but either by Palestine, Iran, or the USA itself, with Libya being framed by the CIA.[16]
• Pretty much everyone involved in The Troubles in Northern Ireland was a double agent: all the Irish Republican Army were secretly working for the British government or hardline unionists either to provoke a clampdown and frustrate the peace process, or to allow Westminster to sell out Ulster to Dublin.[17] There are numerous smaller theories that the British government allowed atrocities including the 1998 Omagh bombing and the murder of human rights lawyer Pat Finucane to avoid exposing informants, to cover up their own crimes, or for other reasons.[18] British security forces' involvement in the murder of Pat Finucane by loyalist terrorists is fairly well established, but other claims are more fantastical.[19]
• The 2008 Mumbai attacks which killed 155 people, including several Indian Jews was a false flag attack. [20]
• The official narrative on 7/7 London suicide bombings are false.[21]
• The 2002 bombing of Ghariba synagogue in Tunisia, claimed by Al-Qaeda was a false-flag attack. [22]
• The 2004 Madrid train bombings were first suspected to have been carried out by Basque separatist group ETA. After some time it was discovered that Al-Qaeda was behind. The theory is that the attack was actually done by ETA, but since the ruling party at that time that had presented ETA as the suspect lost the election after three days, the next government blamed Al-Qaeda to show that the former government was lieing.[23]
• The 2005 bombing in three hotels in Amman, capital of Jordan, by Al-Qaeda was a false-flag attack to boost support for US in the country and reduce support for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[24]
• The 2003 truck bombings at two synagogues, HSBC bank and British Consulate in Istanbul, Turkey were a false-flag attack by rogue elements in the Turkish military and not al-Qaeda. [25]
• There are various theories about the 1994 London Israeli Embassy bombing, which caused major damage to the Israeli embassy in South Kensington, London, but no casualties. The British government allegedly failed to act against warnings, and afterwards fitted up innocent Palestinian and Lebanese people, while the real culprits were Iranian or even Israeli (it is claimed).[26]
• Bomb blasts carried out by Islamist organizations in India like 2006 Mumbai train bombings (209 dead), 2010 Pune German Bakery bombing (17 dead), 2013 Hyderabad blasts (18 dead) etc. were done by far-right Hindutva groups. [27]
• The suicide attack in Pulwama, Kashmir in February 2019 that killed 40 Indian troops was not carried out by Jaish-e-Mohammed militant group, but by the government of India.[28]
• The 1993 WTC bombing carried out by Egyptian Islamic Jihad was done by US government. That's right. Clinton decided to carry out a major bomb attack weeks after coming to power. [29]
• The 1995 Paris metro bombing by Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA) was aided or staged by Algerian government to gain international support. [30]

• Jeffrey Epstein ran a vast pedophile network involving the British Royal Family and the Clintons, and was murdered as a result.[34][35]
• Some of the wilder theories around the disappearance of Madeleine McCann involve vast pedophile rings and other conspiracies.

Political conspiracy theories

US Presidents

• One of the earliest assassination conspiracy theories dates to the 1850s, that US president Zachary Taylor was murdered by pro-slavery activists, rather than the official cause of death which was an intestinal complaint after eating too much unpasteurized milk and cherries combined with medical incompetence. He was replaced by Millard Fillmore who was a prominent anti-freemason campaigner, because freemasons have to come into it somewhere. Taylor's body was exhumed in 1991 and tested for arsenic, but he wasn't poisoned with arsenic.[36][37]
• Lincoln was killed by a Jesuit conspiracy.[38][note 1]
• Vice President Andrew Johnson was behind Abraham Lincoln's assassination, a theory that ignores the fact that Johnson was on the hit list as well.

• Roosevelt knew about the Pearl Harbor attack in advance, and let it happen.
• JFK was not killed by Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

• The Reagan campaign made a deal with the Iranian government not to release the hostages until after Reagan was elected President.[41]
• 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 Reagan's popularity (although he was already), and set Bush up to succeed him possibly.[40][42]
• Gerald Ford was selected to replace Spiro Agnew as Vice President because he agreed to pardon Richard Nixon after he (Ford) assumed the office of POTUS.
• Bill and Hillary Clinton had 50 or more people murdered, and got off Scot-free (see Clinton body count).
• Bush et al. knew about the 9/11 attacks in advance. And let them happen.
• The Republicans used legal chicanery and fraud to win the 2000 U.S. Presidential Election.
  • And the 2004 one.
  • And they tried but failed it in 2008.

  • And they tried it again in 2012.
  • And failed.
  • BUT THEY WILL TRY AGAIN IN 2016!!!
  • Failed again it seems.
  • ....or did they?
  • Yes...yes they did...
• A group of "community organizers" called ACORN stuffed the ballot boxes for Obama in 2008.

• (Insert current US President here) will run a third term/cancel the next election.
• QAnon — a unified conspiracy theory, currently tilting at the Trump windmills

Other US

• The Great Society and welfare are used to keep the black community and minorities poor. (A surprising amount of Republicans believe this bullshit.)
• George Davis was not really killed by Mario Anderson but killed by Union Soldiers.
• The CIA experimented on individuals with LSD without the subjects knowledge in a project known as Project MKULTRA. (This one's true, BTW.)[note 2]

• President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Allen Dulles and Chief Justice Earl Warren were all Communist agents.[45]
• The US blew up the USS Maine to start the Spanish-American War.[46]
• The Gulf of Tonkin incident was a false flag operation. (The US government openly admitted years later that they exaggerated the August 4th event,^{[citation needed]} but the August 2^nd incident is real, though the North Vietnamese may have been deliberately provoked into attacking the USS Maddox. Conspiracy of a cover up is the most accurate term.)
• Gary Webb was suicided by the CIA and/or drug interests. Gary Webb wrote about the CIA and the crack cocaine epidemic, and his death by multiple gunshots to the head was ruled a suicide.[47]
• The Republican Party has been infiltrated by subversives.[48] (This one isn't so crazy, if you assume "the subversives" are the ones trying to subvert the American traditions of Separation of church and state, Science, the social safety net, democracy, and anti-authoritarianism. If you think they're the Godless Communists(tm)… it's kinda kooky.)
• FEMA is on the brink of dissolving the US government and shipping all of the country's undesireables to concentration camps for slaughter or deprogramming.
• United States flags which have gold trim around them represent a different country, or are an attempt by the Jews/Masons/bankers/etc. to destroy American sovereignty.[49] Also argued by tax protesters to signal that a court is under maritime law, a common argument in pseudolaw.

  • Oh, wait—they've admitted to this one.
• The entire left wing movement as it exists today is run by MoveOn.Org and the Daily Kos, 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 spoof book Report from Iron Mountain is real, and government plans on instituting slavery, eugenics, population control, staged UFO and environmental crises, etc. in the event of world peace, because it believes the social functions served by warfare will have to be replaced with substitutes lest society collapse if there is peace.
• Gays want to take over the country and recruit our children.
• Gun control is a tool to prevent population from revolting against the government.
• 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".

• The Statue of Liberty was built by French Freemasons to secretly represent Lucifer.

• In 1933, a group of business leaders tried to convince a Marine Corps General named Smedley Butler to lead a fascist coup d'etat against Franklin Roosevelt. While initially Butler was dismissed as crazy, historians generally agree that the Business Plot took place, though was unlikely to succeed.
• The Tea Party and/or the Occupy Movement were comprised entirely of people shipped in by the respective conservative and liberal establishments.
• Jon Huntsman is a pawn of the Chinese Communist regime
• The 70,000 refugees from Syria accepted annually into the USA (soon to be increased to 100,000) are not genuine refugees but part of an Obama-inspired plot for the Islamization of America.
• The NSA has been spying on Americans and many others. Unfortunately, this turned out to be true after the PRISM project was revealed in 2013.
• The liberal media, as in liberals, have taken over most media enterprises from where they brainwash the public into voting Democratic. MUHAHAHA.
• Liberals have taken over public schools from where the indoctrinate children with Marxism.
• Amelia Earhart's disappearance was because she was an American spy on a secret mission, or Tokyo Rose, or she was secretly repatriated to New Jersey.[51]
• A large portion of the US anti-war left, in a strange alliance with the neofascist alt-right, regard virtually all popular uprisings by their fellow leftists, from Syria in 2011 to Ukraine in 2014 to Nicaragua in 2018 to Hong Kong in 2019 are all US-CIA plots to effect "regime change" on the much-loved and admired men-of-the-poeple Assad, Yanukovytch/Putin, Ortega and Xi.
• Black cabalists and activists aligned with the Democratic Party hate black people and are conspiring to steal the money and let black people die. The Boule,[note 4] tracing its roots back to "degenerate African rulers," is the black Skull and Bones; the Civil Rights movement was a scam, and, of course, President Trump has done more for black people than anyone else, ever.[52]

Germany

• The Nazis themselves set the Reichstag Fire.[53]

• Julius Caesar committed suicide as a result of debilitating epilepsy, proposed by historian Richard Girling.[61]
• Roman Emperor Nero faked his death and fled to the east, and would return to wreak vengeance upon his enemies.[62][63] There are also theories around the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE: that Christians were responsible, or that nobody at the time thought Christians were responsible but Christians exaggerated how bad Nero was and spread the rumor that Nero blamed the Christians to make themselves look cooler.[64]

Economic and business conspiracy theories

• The world is secretly ruled by the Rothschild family, who are a family of extremely successful and powerful bankers. (See Rothschild banking family of England at Wikipedia) The evidence? They're Zionist!
• Oil companies are deliberately suppressing better car technology.
• Oil companies, Dick Cheney, and George Bush conspired to invade Iraq to take over their oil. (Obviously this is false and they really did want to save the world from Saddam Hussein's WMD's that weren't there.)
• Shortly before 9/11, many individuals or institutions with prior knowledge shorted airline stocks and made a fortune.

• Numerous other changes of product names or formulation and product discontinuations are PR stunts rather than genuine long-term changes, e.g. IHOP changing its name to IHOB, Heinz threatening to stop making British staple condiment Salad Cream and later renaming it Sandwich Cream.

• 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.)[68]
• Finland does not exist - the region is actually a sea that is highly profitable for fishing, which necessitates that nations conspire to conceal the sea's existence.

• BP's Deepwater Horizon oil platform was destroyed by eco-terrorists out to discredit the oil industry (which hitherto everyone believed was benign and environmentally friendly), or by North Korea (a South Korean drilling company was involved), or (according to Alex Jones) by Halliburton to promote their technology for handling oil-well blow-outs, or by BP itself as part of some kind of stock fraud?[71][72]

Religious conspiracy theories

• The Dead Sea Scrolls have been deliberately suppressed because they reveal a lost truth about Jesus.
• According to the Qur'an, Jews and Christians have corrupted the texts of the Bible and the original version has been destroyed.

• ...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.)

2. 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government (38%)
3. Apollo landing was a hoax (35%)

Notes

1. Ok, there was a criminal conspiracy to kidnap or kill Lincoln and other high ranking officials by Booth and several other southern sympathizers but the S.J. wasn't involved, nor did it have any long-term plans beyond trying to revive the Confederacy. Why the Jesuits would be involved or support the Confederacy hasn't been made clear anyway…
2. The goal was to create a "Manchurian Candidate" using acid. It didn't work and instead gave Ken Kesey access to his first hit and inspired many hippies.
3. Speaking of the Lone Gunman, 9/11 was predicted in an X-files spin-off pilot "The Lone Gunman" in March of 2001. Sounds strange, but I have the episode somewhere, and it is eerily similar… those Hollywood writers were thinking further ahead than the White House. But then again, in the episode from March of 2001, evil doers in the Military-industrial complex attempted to carry out a plot to take over a jet airliner by remote control and fly it into the WTC, and "blame it on the Muslims." In this case, a work of fiction portraying a conspiracy predated the event that resulted in a conspiracy theory.
4. Pronounced "boo-lay."
5. See Kerry Cassidy November 2017
6. Wonder is also known for his pro-skepticism song "Superstition."
