Conspiracy theories

Overview

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

Pages

• 9/11 anomalies: not so much a conspiracy theory as a body of quite devastating critique of the official theory
  • 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
• US Federal Reserve/conspiracy
• 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.

Proven Theories

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)

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".
