Conspiracy theories have floated around for
generations with new ones popping up all
the time. Here is a list counting down the
World’s 15 biggest conspiracy theories of all
time.
15. Life on Mars and the Annunaki:
Ever since photo’s of Mars were taken from
the Viking orbiter in 1976, the answer to
the question of if there was life on Mars
seems to be yes. Photos depicting an
enormous face staring up from the surface
proved to be eerie. The pictures also include
a sphinx and a 5-sided pyramid. When
Zecharia Sitchin released findings of tablets
in what used to be Sumeria, Sitchin
describes the writings telling of the
Anunnaki, a superior alien race that came
down and taught the Sumerians new
technology. Many speculate that the
formations on Mars surface were built by
the Anunnaki which also opened up the
idea that the great pyramids were built by
aliens using humans as slave workers.
14. Who really wrote the plays of
Shakespeare?:
Since there is very little historical
information about Shakespeare, conspiracy
theorists believe that the actor could not
have possibly written the plays but rather
was used as the author to cover up the real
identity of the brilliant poet. Many believe
that Shakespeare himself could not
have had the education to write such
profound works. That the most plausible
author could be either Christopher
Marlowe, Ben Johnson, Francis Bacon or
Sir Walter Raleigh.
13. Vaccination and autism:
Celebrity Jenny McCarthy has fought this
fight for years and even Robert Kennedy Jr.
voiced his opinion saying the politician
believes there is a conspiracy between
scientists and the vaccine industry to hide
the truth about the ingredients in vaccine
shots. McCarthy has said that mother’s from
all over the world who have children with
autism have said for years that, “We
vaccinated our baby and something
happened.”
12. Digital television and subliminal
advertising:
Many conspiracy theorists believe that
cameras and microphones have been
secretly built into televisions so that the
government could spy on people. Another
theory along with this one is that
subliminal messages are being broadcast to
influence the viewers with what the
government and big industries want people
to believe.
11. Global Warming:
Global warming has been a hot topic ever
since Al Gore brought it to the world’s stage
but many theorists believe this to be a ruse
in order to control the populations way of
life, raise taxes and intended to lead to more
controlling, tyrannical government.
10. The Holocaust:
Believe it or not there are many theorists
out there who believe that the Holocaust is
a hoax. Conspiracy theories claim that the
Nazis never murdered over 6 million Jews
during World War II but claims of the
Holocaust was conspired by the Jews to
advance their own interests and to justify
the creation of Israel. The deniers claim
that any deaths which occurred in
concentration camps were from starvation
or disease and not because of Nazi policy to
exterminate the Jews. The Diary of Anne
Frank the conspiracy theorists believe is a
forgery.
9. The Shroud of Turin:
Ever since the Shroud of Turin was brought
forth to the public, it has caused much
controversy. Believed to be the cloth which
covered the body of Christ, some say that it
proves that Jesus survived the crucifixion
and that the Vatican had tampered with the
carbon dating results in order to protect the
faith. Of course the Vatican denies that but
the discussion of its authenticity continues.
8. The AIDS virus:
Conspiracy theorists believe that the AIDS
virus was created in a laboratory and
injected into homosexuals and African-
Americans by ruse of a hepatitis-B
experiment back in 1978. Thabo Mbeki, the
former South African President, said that
the scientific claims that the disease
originated in Africa is false and that the
U.S. government actually created the virus
in a lab and is trying to place the blame on
Africa. Theorists believe that the AIDS virus
was created by the CIA to rid the country of
homosexuals and African-Americans and to
weaken the groups numbers.
7. The death of Princess Diana:
Soon as the news spread of Princess Diana’s
death, conspiracies were popping up
everywhere. All of which claiming that the
Princess was murdered by the Royal Family
to stop Diana from releasing embarrassing
and damaging information about ex-
husband, Prince Charles. In 2013, Scotland
Yard announced that it was reopening the
case of Diana’s death on the basis of a claim
that the fatal car accident was set up by the
British Special Forces. Though the British
and French governments have ruled Diana’s
death as an accident, the fuel behind the
conspiracy theories that Diana was killed to
silence the Princess, remains.
6. The New World Order:
The Illuminati and the Freemasons are two
of the many secret society’s that are out
there. Theorists believe that there is a New
World Order that is going to come into
effect and run the world under one
worldwide government. Signs, like the
pyramid and eye on the American dollar
bill is said to be the work of the Illuminati.
Many believe that the Freemasons are
behind the scheme to take over the world.
5. The Moon landing:
Though NASA has ousted all claims that the
moon landing is a fake, theorists believe
that it was all staged because NASA
desperately needed the glory of such an
event and that the U.S. refused to lose the
space race with to the Russians. Many
believe that the technology it would take to
actually land on the moon was not present
back in the 1960′s.
4. Roswell:
In 1947 a press release was issued from the
Roswell Army Air Field claiming that a
“flying disc: had been recovered from a
ranch in New Mexico. Rumors of bodies
being found at the crash site caused many
theorists to believe that the U.S. government
is keeping the truth of aliens from the
public. Later, the military took back its
claim and said that, in fact, it was just a
weather balloon that was recovered and
that the “bodies” were actually test
dummies. The amount of security
surrounding Area 51 is proof enough to
many that the government is definitely
hiding a flying saucer and bodies of aliens
from the public.
3. 9/11:
Though terrorists of Al-Qaeda have claimed
responsibility for the attacks that occurred
on Sept.11, 2001 many believe that the U.S.
government knew of the upcoming attack
and did nothing. Conspiracy theorists
believe that the way the two towers went
down proves that the U.S. government
either planned the attack or aided in the
complete destruction of the towers to fuel
hatred and to justify the wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
2. The JFK assassination:
On November 22, 1963, President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated. Theorists abound
claim that there were more than one
shooter and that Lee Harvey Oswald was
not responsible for the sole killing of the
President. Some believe that Oswald was
either a patsy or worked for the FBI, KGB
or the mafia. To this day the debate
continues about how many shooters there
were, where the shooters were and who was
really behind the assassination of President
Kennedy.
1. Jesus and Mary Magdalene:
The idea that Jesus and Mary Magdalene
were actually married has been a hot topic
of debate. Though glorified from The DaVinci
Code, the basis of the theory comes from a
document found in 1945 called The Gospel
of Philip. The Gnostic Gospel says that Jesus
had preferred the companion of Mary over
any other disciple and that Jesus would kiss
Mary on the mouth. The Gospel called Mary
Jesus’ companion and is still being disputed
today by religious experts.

Diana's death was a set up joor. A quientessential case of what the Yorubas call "Aje ke lana, omo ku loni" (the witch cried yesterday, the child died today). There may actually be a conspiracy (or conspiracies) somewhere on that list tho'..

hmm

That Ebola Disease was created in the "secret labs" and sent down to Africa.

very probable bro....dts one of d reasons both fidel castro n gaddafi hated dem.........

rexkexmilan: ........ unless you are coming from the atheist point of observance.

Yes, i'm an atheist. But, thats not the point. The point is that the church has a shady past and if they could execute that number of women, they could definitely do the above. Besides, there are a lot of gospels written by disciples and followers of Jesus, yet the compilers of the bible chose a few that i'm sure helps to boost whatever they wanted people to believe.

sarmiie:
