[edit] Overview

This page is a list of known conspiracy theories. For discussion of the idea itself, see conspiracy theory.

[edit] Pages

• 9/11 anomalies: not so much a theory of what as pointing out that the official story has holes you could pilot a plane through
  • Bushco engineered 9/11: extrapolating the evidence to one possible (but unproven) conclusion
• Manchurian Candidate scenario: subornation of a high-level official by malign foreign interests
• Issuepedia:Rampant Paranoia: theories we aren't taking seriously, given the current evidence
• There are also conspiracy theories surrounding:
  • The 2005-07-07 bombings ("the British 9/11")
  • The JFK assassination
  • The RFK assassination
  • The MLK assassination
  • The John Lennon assassination
  • The Oklahoma City bombing
  • The 1993 WTC bombing
  • The Lockerbie-PanAm bombing
  • The Pearl Harbor attack
  • The Columbine massacre

...i.e. essentially every major tragic event in the US and UK for the past few decades.

[edit] Later Proven Valid

Some conspiracy theories which turned out to be true and are now officially recognized (and are no longer called "conspiracy theories"):

• The Iran-Contra affair [W]: Reagan traded arms for hostages while denying that he did so; there was also allegedly a global narco-terrorism network headquartered in the basement of the White House. (kudos: apostle_of_eris)
• "P-2 in Italy was real. They didn't completely succeed in taking over the Italian government, but they did steal the Vatican bank; and though I'm skeptical that they poisoned a Pope, they did get away with murder." (kudos: apostle_of_eris)

[edit] The Federal Reserve Conspiracy

• video: The Capitalist Conspiracy: An Inside View Of International Banking. Very level-headed-sounding video with lots of checkable details, whether or not the conclusions follow. Argues for transparency (prevention of secrecy) and reduction of government. To be investigated in more detail later. (Video appears to be digitized from film; date is uncertain, but references events as late as April 1968. Film uses only stills, no motion.)
• video: The Money Masters (mid-to-late 1980s video) Cites Henry Pasquet, Larry Bates, and others on the subject of the US Federal Reserve being a for-profit private corporation foisted on the American people without their consent or understanding.
  • The Money Masters: How International Bankers Gained Control of America: transcript of a very similar production, possibly an update of the original?
    • mirror of this?
  • The Money Changers by Patrick S. J. Carmack: also has a lot of overlap with the others.
• video: The Money Masters - How International Bankers Gained Control of America: 3.5-hour video which actually exposes a much wider (hypothetical) conspiracy of which the American takeover is only a part; argument needs to be documented

[edit] Humor

• The Mad Revisionist: pokes fun at conspiracy theories and revisionist history. Never mind the "moon landing was a hoax staged by NASA" or "there was no Jewish Holocaust"; try "THE MOON: A Propaganda Hoax", "Do the Jews exist?" and "There is no physical, forensic evidence of the existence of the Twin Towers".
