Mystery always attracts attention as do
the conspiracy theories revolving around it. Be it religion, science,
politics, war or economy, conspiracy theories have consistently emerged
throughout recent and ancient history, persisting to this very day. With countless such theories floating
around the web of information, each presenting its own often convincing
counterevidence to the alleged “truth”, the line between fact and fraud
seems to be blurring day by day. Following is a list of the top or most
popular conspiracy theories in history.
According to popular belief - even in
the United States itself - the 9/11 incident was planned and executed or
simply allowed to happen by the then government to engender support of
the American public and the world for invasion of the Middle East, the
war being a mere cover for the chief purpose - accessing Middle Eastern
oil reserves and consequently, Pax Americana.
The Pearl Harbor Conspiracy
Advocates of this theory believe that officials at the highest tiers in the US and British government,
including the then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt himself, knew of
the Japanese attacks ahead of time, may even have provoked them and took
no countermeasures with the intent to ‘fool’ the German Führer Adolf
Hitler into declaring war on America, forcing her to step in to assist
the Allies.
The New World Order
Innumerable conspiracies revolve around
the concept of a New World Order, that is, a dominating world power
steadily and covertly spreading its influence and rising in strength,
all for the purpose of bringing the world under a unified rule or master
government.
Princess Diana’s Death Was No Accident
Proponents of the Diana death conspiracy
claim that the Princess of Wales was assassinated by elements of
Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service to prevent her allegedly deep
relationship with the Egyptian Muslim film producer Dodi Fayed from
tainting the purity and honor of the British Royal Family. It is
believed that Diana was pregnant and planning to get engaged to Fayed.
JFK Assassination Conspiracy
According to numerous polls, a majority
of American citizens and researchers believe, owing to several flaws in
released evidence and FBI reports, that the assassination of John F.
Kennedy involved a cover-up or conspiracy orchestrated by either the
American or Russian intelligence agencies, the Israeli government, the
then Cuban President Fidel Castro or a union of these and other such
elements.
Global Warming Hoax
The gobal warming conspiracy states that
the phenomenon of global warming is a scientific hoax concocted to
provide the government with an excuse to raise taxes, climate science
researchers with an opportunity to draw greater monetary support, the UN
with support to propogate a “system of world government” [via Wikipedia] and/or several other distinct motives.
The Roswell UFO Conspiracy and Proof of Alien Existence
In July of 1947, debris of a crashed
aircraft, described by its first witness as a “flying disk”, was found
spread over a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico and recovered by the US
military which claimed it was a military surveillance balloon. It is
believed that flying object was of extraterrestrial origin and that
alien bodies may also have been found within the debris.
Apollo Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory
“Different Moon landing conspiracy
theories claim that some or all elements of the Apollo Project and the
associated Moon landings were falsifications staged by NASA and members
of other organizations.” [via Wikipedia]. Advocates of certain theories believe that mock-up sets were used to film the landings.
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
‘The Protocols of the Learned Elders of
Zion’ is allegedly an old textual guide addressing novice Jewish Elders
on the methods to gain control of world economy and media, ultimately to
attain global dominance. Over the years, convincing evidence has been
put forth, labeling it as mere propaganda and a hoax.
CIA-Bin Laden Conspiracy Theory
Conspiracy proponents adamantly claim
that Osama Bin Laden was trained and sponsored by the CIA to fight the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Belief in said speculation only
escalated after the 9/11 incident referring to which, some theorize that
Bin Laden was a “blow back” while others assert he was and is still
working for the CIA, repeatedly mentioning instances where he was
reportedly allowed to escape.
