List of conspiracy theories

{{bronze}}{{conspiracynav}}
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 [[Improbable things happen|random chance]] would to explain the occurrence, it should be examined [[Skepticism|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.<ref>http://www.rense.com/general95/confhigh.html</ref>
*[[AIDS]] was created by the [[CIA]] and deliberately spread by the WHO via polio [[Vaccination|inoculations]] in [[Africa]], [[Depopulation conspiracy theory|to reduce the world population]].
*All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up that [[HIV denialism|AIDS is not caused by HIV infection]].
*All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up that [[Anti-vaccination movement#Autism|mercury in the vaccines is causing autism]].
*[[Water fluoridation]] is part of an insidious [[Communist]] plot to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1KvgtEnABY Dr. Strangelove - Precious Bodily Fluids]. poolitics, YouTube, 27 January 2008.</ref> See also the film ''[[Dr. Strangelove]]''.
*[[Colony collapse disorder|The mass die-offs of honeybees]] are attributable to megacorporations' desire to control the food supply.
*The "cure" for [[cancer]] actually exists, but is being suppressed by the government.
*Environmentalists banned [[DDT]] on a worldwide scale, which resulted in the deaths of millions in Africa. The [[liberal media]] covers for them.
*[[5G]] is a population-control conspiracy.<ref group=note>Which would be a crap plan seeing as the death rate/infertility rates still haven't risen more than 5 years on.</ref>
*Virus outbreaks like the [[2019-20 COVID-19 outbreak|2020 coronavirus pandemic]] are triggered by 5G.<ref group=note>which doesn't make sense because African countries that have no 5G infrastructure still had COVID cases.</ref>
*The Chinese government is behind the COVID-19 outbreak.<ref group=note>While this theory is bullshit, it’s worth noting that there’s evidence that China was more interested in saving face initially than actually warning the world about the outbreak. So, while [[Hanlon's razor|not deliberate]], you can argue their corruption has played a part in the spread.</ref>
*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 liberals trying to make an excuse for more government control. Or it’s, well, the 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.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010203220700/http://www.cheniere.org/books/part1/teslaweapons.htm Scalar Potential Interferometer]. cheniere.org.</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/0/http://www.cheniere.org/books/excalibur/index.html Excalibur Briefing]. cheniere.org.</ref> It taps the quantum [[vacuum energy]], using a method discovered by T. Henry Moray in the 1920s.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20010302200150/http://www.cheniere.org/books/excalibur/moray.htm The Moray Radiant Energy Device]. cheniere.org.</ref> It may have brought down the Columbia spacecraft.<ref>[http://www.prahlad.org/pub/bearden/Columbia_attack.htm Bearden responds to scalar attack possibility]. prahlad.org, 2 February 2003.</ref><ref>[https://archive.ph/Srk2N Bariumblues]. Archived from bariumblues.com.</ref>
*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 [[tinfoil hat|you-know-what]].
*[[Project Blue Beam]] will be used by the [[antichrist]] when he comes to the Earth to trick people into thinking that [[Jesus]] [[Second Coming|has returned]]. This tactic was used in Operation Mongoose to brainwash the American troops into overthrowing [[Fidel Castro]].
*The [[Aurora (aircraft)|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.<ref>https://issuu.com/disclosureproject/docs/120802112206-c5111c5542ca4c20b29be3f93e3f0b8d</ref> 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 {{wpl|Boeing X-37|X-37}} unmanned space plane project actually operates as an Air Force black project for spying on, and potentially destroying, Chinese and Russian satellites.<ref>https://medium.com/war-is-boring/wondering-what-the-u-s-air-forces-secretive-spaceplane-can-do-history-offers-clues-9b5a30ea7084#.fj2saqn2o</ref><ref>https://medium.com/war-is-boring/did-america-start-a-robot-space-war-ade275a9ef85#.au78wnuuo</ref> 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 {{wpl|tsunami bomb}} or {{wpl|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 {{wpl|2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami}} or any other recent disaster.<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/newzealand/9774217/Tsunami-bomb-tested-off-New-Zealand-coast.html 'Tsunami bomb' tested off New Zealand coast], The Telegraph, 1 Jan 2013</ref>

===Astronomy and geophysics===
*The [[Moon landing hoax|lunar landing was a hoax]] and was staged in a movie set.
*The Moon is fake/transparent/flat/tiny and eclipses are also faked.<ref>[https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/8261992/flat-earthers-blood-moon-fake-lunar-eclipse/ Flat-Earthers say Blood Moon was FAKE – and ‘invisible satellite’ is to blame for lunar eclipse], [[The Sun]], 23 Jan 2019</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2018/may/02/the-universe-is-an-egg-and-the-moon-isnt-real-notes-from-a-flat-earth-conference The universe is an egg and the moon isn't real: notes from a Flat Earth conference], The Guardian, 2 May 2018</ref><ref>[https://wiki.tfes.org/Moon Moon], Flat Earth Society wiki, accessed 4 Feb 2020</ref>
*[[Global warming conspiracy theory|Global warming is a hoax]] created by the [[UN]] and politically funded scientists/environmentalists, aided by [[Al Gore]], [[Michael Mann]], and many others to put a cap on 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.<ref>http://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/chemically-nucleated-snow-what-is-it/</ref>
*The Earth is [[Hollow Earth Theory|hollow]], with a hole to the "underworld" located in the Arctic and/or Antarctic 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 [[Flat Earth|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]].<ref>http://www.monbiot.com/2011/04/04/interrogation-of-helen-caldicotts-responses/</ref>
*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.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20081121075224/http://www.helencaldicott.com/childrenshealth_proc.pdf</ref>
*World governments are covering up the true magnitude of problems from the [[Fukushima Daiichi]] nuclear power plant destruction.<ref>http://www.fairewinds.org/nuclear-power-profits-risks/#sthash.EA1cc6ju.dpuf</ref>
*All scientists and politicians are trying to cover up [[cold fusion]].
**[[Eugene Mallove]] was [[Murder|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 (pseudoscience)|free energy]] technology is being [[Free energy suppression|suppressed]] by [[government]]s and the [[oil]] industry.
**It is possible to [[Water-powered car|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 [http://stargate.wikia.com Stargate] program and the Iraq War may have been caused because [[Saddam Hussein]] had one.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20030401135326/http://www.exopolitics.org/Study-Paper2.htm Perhaps Sadam was Goa'uld.</ref>
*Ample evidence of [[extraterrestrial|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 [[Large Hadron Collider|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<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140729121600/http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070626/hl_afp/ushealthsciencetechnology;_ylt=AnQcoDtX9Skc1ZdvMlLxKX8DW7oF Doctors back plan to store medical info under your skin (06-27-2007, AP)]</ref> (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.<ref>Briley, 2005</ref> Some also argue that McVeigh's execution was staged and that he is still alive.
*[[9/11]] 
**9/11 was staged by the [[United States]] 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 [[International Jewish Conspiracy|(((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.

*[[Osama bin Laden]] is not dead / had already been dead for a rather long time ''before'' US forces officially tracked him down and killed him / is an invention of the American government.
*[[Anders Behring Breivik]] was secretly a [[Conspiracy theories surrounding the Oslo attacks|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 [[Islamophobia|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 [[Gun control|TAWKE ER GUNS'!]]<ref group=note>Just wait, something's gonna show up, and it's probably gonna involve 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.</ref>
*The 1988 bombing of [[Muammar al-Gaddafi#Pan Am Flight 103|Pan Am Flight 103]] over Lockerbie, Scotland, was not by [[Muammar al-Gaddafi]] and [[Libya]]n intelligence, but either by Palestine, Iran, or the USA itself, with Libya being framed by the [[CIA]].<ref>{{wpa|Pan Am Flight 103 conspiracy theories}}</ref>
*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.<ref>[https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/conspiracy-theories-alive-and-well-in-ni-1.1035413 Conspiracy theories alive and well in NI], Irish Times, April 7, 2006</ref> There are numerous smaller theories that the British government allowed atrocities including the 1998 {{wpl|Omagh bombing}} and the murder of human rights lawyer {{wpl|Pat Finucane}} to avoid exposing informants, to cover up their own crimes, or for other reasons.<ref>[https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2001/09/ire-a04.html Northern Ireland: Allegations of British collusion in Omagh bombing], World Socialist Web Site, Robert Stevens, 4 September 2001</ref> British security forces' involvement in the murder of Pat Finucane by loyalist terrorists is fairly well established, but other claims are more fantastical.

*The 2004 Madrid train bombings were first suspected to have been carried out by the Basque separatist group ETA. After some time, it was discovered that Al-Qaeda was behind it. 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 lying.<ref>http://czaskultury.pl/en/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/MBiernacka_AlQeadaOrETA_CzasKultury_2_2016.pdf</ref>
*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.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140330183311/http://aldeilis.net/bpb/amman/</ref>
*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.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140330182008/http://aldeilis.net/bpb/istanbul/</ref>
*There are various theories about the {{wpl|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 [[Lebanon|Lebanese]] people, while the real culprits were [[Iran]]ian or even [[Israel]]i (it is claimed).<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2000/oct/21/weekend7.weekend1 Caught in the blast], ''The Guardian'', 21 Oct 2000</ref>
*Bomb blasts carried out by Islamist organizations in India like the 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.<ref>https://pharosmedia.com/books/product/9788172211080/</ref>

*…and was, himself, being blackmailed by the [[Mafia]] not to investigate [[organized crime]].
*Jimmy Hoffa was killed by the Mob and buried in an unknown location.<ref>Knight, Peter (2003). ''Conspiracy theories in American history: an encyclopedia''. ABC-CLIO. ISBN 978-1-57607-812-9. pg 319</ref>

*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.<ref>[https://history-first.com/2018/07/10/millard-fillmore-zachary-taylor-and-american-conspiracies/ Millard Fillmore, Zachary Taylor, and American Conspiracies], History First, 10 July 2018</ref><ref>{{wpa|Zachary Taylor}}</ref>

*Nixon conspired with Anna Chennault (widow of Claire Lee Chennault) to commit a felony by thwarting the [[Vietnam War]] peace talks so that Vice President Hubert Humphrey would not get a boost in the polls from a peace agreement in a tight 1968 presidential election race between Humphrey and Nixon.
