Nicki Minaj Is Actually
Jay-Z>>>

It doesn’t get crazier than
this—there are people
who firmly believe that
Nicki Minaj cannot rap at
all. So in order for her to
become a superstar, she
needed a little help from
Jay-Z. Various rap
conspiracists have claimed
that Hova is doing all the
hard rapping work, while
Minaj is lip-syncing along
to a sped-up recording of
his lyrics. As “proof” of the
conspiracy, believers point
to a slowed-down version
of Minaj’s “Superbass”
video, which supposedly
sounds sort of like Jay-Z.
The video, if not the
crazier interpretations of
it, has even made an
impact on the mainstream
media. The CBS News
website mused that the
two artists did sound alike
in certain parts of the
song, chalking it up to
their shared New York
background. The
Huffington Post, taking a
slightly different approach,
decided to lead with a
Reddit user’s claim that
Minaj “sounds like a gay
version of Jay-Z.”

A Rihanna Video
Predicted Whitney
Houston’s Death>>>

In December 2011,
Rihanna released a music
video for her single “We
Found Love,” which
quickly skyrocketed to the
top of anything
resembling a chart. The
video depicted a
passionate relationship
descending into drug-
fueled abuse. Somehow, a
conspiracy theory started
floating around the
Internet that the video
contained a “premonition”
of Whitney Houston’s
death.
The theory claims that the
drug use and domestic
abuse shown in the video
mirrors what Houston and
Bobby Brown went
through during their
relationship. The video
was released only three
months before Houston’s
body was found in a
bathtub. At one stage
during the “We Found
Love” video, Rihanna sinks
into a bathtub, looking
completely out of it. This
scene supposedly
predicted Whitney’s fate.
Shortly after Houston’s
tragic death, there was
talk of making a movie
based on her life, to be
produced by Clive Davis.
The project never
materialized, but the
person most likely to have
been approached to play
the role of Whitney—is
none other than Rihanna.

Taylor Swift And The
Number 13>>>

Taylor Swift is renowned
for her country singing
style and for writing songs
about her rapidly growing
list of ex-boyfriends. But
conspiracy theorists have
noticed something sinister
about America’s
sweetheart—she seems to
be obsessed with the
number 13. It all started
when Swift was born on
Friday the 13th of
December, 1989. Deciding
13 was her lucky number,
Swift tried to incorporate
it into her life whenever
possible. During her
childhood, she would
choose it as her number
during sports. After she
became famous, she
would write the number
on her hand during live
performances. Her first
album featured 13 tracks
and even her Twitter
handle has the number in
it. One of her songs even
“got stuck” at number 13
on the charts.
But what might seem like
a harmless superstition
actually has a darker
meaning—at least
according to conspiracy
theorists who believe
Taylor was bred to join
the 13 bloodlines of the
Illuminati. Some also
believe that when her VMA
acceptance speech (on
September 13, 2009) was
interrupted by Kanye
West, it was actually her
initiation into the secret
society. Swift started out
the night in a silver dress,
had her speech
interrupted, and later
emerged onstage with
Beyonce wearing red.
Since red is supposedly the
color of choice for the
Illuminati’s pawns, the
wardrobe change
symbolized the
completion of Swift’s
initiation.

The Real Slim Shady Is
Dead>>>

This unoriginal conspiracy
theory claims that the real
Eminem died a while ago
and has been replaced by
a double. There have been
several Eminem death
hoaxes over the years,
with the exact time and
details of Marshall
Mathers’ death varying
from theorist to theorist,
but they all agree that the
real Slim Shady was killed
at some point. There is
even a budding online
community
dedicated to proving that
the Eminem we see today
is not the same one who
broke into the music
industry with hits such as
“Stan” and “Without Me.”
According to posters on
the Doppelganger and
Identity Research Society
forums, the long breaks
between Eminem albums
show that something is
definitely amiss. Further
proof for the conspiracy
includes photographs of
Mathers as a child, which
supposedly do not
resemble recent pictures
of the rapper. Rumors that
Eminem was lip-syncing
during his much-
anticipated performance
on SNL have also been
taken as proof that the
imposter, dubbed
“Feminem,” is doing a bad
job impersonating him.

Miley Cyrus Is A
Deliberate Distraction>>>

Most people probably
wouldn’t associate Miley
Cyrus with high-level
politics—but most people
aren’t Korn frontman
Jonathan Davis, who
thinks of exactly that
whenever he hears the
Hannah Montana star’s
name
Earlier this year, Davis
appeared on the Alex
Jones Show to accuse
none other than Barack
Obama of using Miley as a
puppet to distract
Americans from what’s
really going on in the
world. According to the
“Twisted Transistor”
singer, whenever the
President wants to enact
some particularly
controversial legislation,
he manipulates the media
to focus on Cyrus’s
outrageous antics instead.
As evidence, Davis pointed
to the fact that Miley’s
celebrated appearance at
the VMAs coincided with a
new law allowing
American citizens to be
imprisoned without being
formally charged with an
offense. Admittedly, Davis
has never been a fan of
Obama, calling him an
Illuminati puppet at a
concert in 2011.

Pitbull Predicted The
Disappearance Of MH370>>>

The disappearance of
Malaysia Airlines Flight
370 captured the
attention of the world.
How could such a huge
plane have just vanished
without a trace? Luckily,
many of the Internet’s
finest investigators have
taken it upon themselves
to try and solve the
mystery. And some have
stumbled onto what they
think may be a clue—
hidden in a Pitbull song.
Yes, the Miami-based
rapper’s 2012 smash hit
“Get It Started” has come
under scrutiny for such
incriminating lyrics as
“Now it’s off to Malaysia”
and “Two passports, three
cities, two countries, one
day.”
Conspiracy theorists claim
that the two passports
mentioned refer to two
Iranian passengers
subsequently found to
have been traveling on
stolen passports. The three
cities are supposedly the
capitals of Malaysia,
Vietnam, and China. Some
amateur detectives have
even claimed that “No Ali,
No Frasier, but for now off
to Malaysia” refers to one
of the Iranians—even
though neither of them
were named Ali (or
Frazier).

Aaliyah Was Murdered>>>

Aaliyah found musical
success at the age of 14,
teaming up with R. Kelly
to produce the hit album
Age Ain’t Nothin’ But A
Number. Her success
continued throughout the
’90s, including a move into
acting with the movie
Romeo Must Die. But
tragedy struck in August
2001, when the singer
was killed in a light
aircraft crash after filming
a music video in the
Bahamas. The plane was
said to have been
dangerously overweight
when it crashed.
Numerous rumors quickly
emerged, including the
usual insistence that the
Illuminati was behind it
all. One particularly nasty
conspiracy theory claimed
that Beyonce Knowles had
ordered her rival’s death.
Supposedly, Beyonce was
jealous of Aaliyah’s success
and made sure she was
taken out of the picture.
Aaliyah had everything
going for her. She had the
background—her family
was in the music industry
and she made her first
onstage appearance at the
age of nine. She had the
connections—R. Kelly, to
name one. She was the
youngest performer in the
history of the Oscars when
she sang the theme song
for Anastasia during the
1998 ceremony.
At the time, Beyonce was
one of the members of
Destiny’s Child and could
not have foreseen how
successful her own career
would be. Rumor has it
that Beyonce (or her
overbearing father)
ensured the plane was too
overloaded reach its
destination. Of course,
there is absolutely no
proof of this, but the
theory persists on the
Internet.

Lorde Is Not A Teenager>>>

In 2013, the 16-year-old
Lorde exploded onto the
music scene with her
smash hit “Royals.” But
some people were more
interested in her age than
her music. When she
appeared on TV, many
viewers just couldn’t
believe that she was a
teenager. Social media
soon began buzzing, with
many flat-out refusing to
accept that she wasn’t at
least 40 years old. A
journalist set on
debunking the rumors
even parted with $17.02
to obtain the singer’s birth
certificate. The document
seemingly confirmed that
Ella Marija Lani Yelich-
O’Connor, also known as
Lorde, was indeed born on
7 November, 1996.
But even that might not
be enough to persuade
the doubters, who can
point to Lorde’s own lyrics
as evidence—her song
“Team” includes the line:
“I’m kind of older than I
was when I reveled
without a care.” Lorde
herself doesn’t appear too
fazed by all the rumors. In
an interview with Vanity
Fair she quipped: “Hi, I’m
Ella and I’m actually 45.”
Classic misdirection.

Beyonce Was Never
Pregnant>>>
Jay-Z’s wife, Beyonce
Knowles, has also
attracted her fair share of
wild accusations, with
conspiracy theorists
queuing up to declare her
everything from an
Illuminati puppet to a
Satanist. Perhaps slightly
more grounded is the
theory that the singer
faked her recent
pregnancy. When the
songstress sat down on a
chair during a televised
interview, many gasped as
her pregnant belly seemed
to fold in on itself, leading
to theories that Beyonce
was wearing a prosthetic
baby-bump.
The proof for the
conspiracy is as follows: In
2011, Beyonce announced
her pregnancy the old-
fashioned way—by
rubbing her stomach
during the MTV Video
Music Awards. But just a
week before the
ceremony, she had
performed at another
venue with no sign of a
pregnant belly. Beyonce
also clearly didn’t think
her fake pregnancy
through by showing up at
the VMAs with a
pronounced tummy, even
though she was
supposedly only two
months pregnant.
Furthermore, little Blue Ivy
Carter was apparently
conceived in Paris during
April 2011. This would
mean that Beyonce should
have been at least four
months pregnant at the
VMAs as opposed to two
months. Beyonce truthers
believe that the singer
used a surrogate, since she
didn’t want to ruin her
body during pregnancy.
As if that wasn’t enough,
many believe that Blue
Ivy’s unusual name was
chosen by the Illuminati
themselves. If you reverse
the words Blue Ivy you
get “Eulb Yvi,” which
conspiracy theorists claim
means Lucifer’s Daughter
in Latin (it doesn’t).

Jay-Z Is A Time-Traveling Vampire>>>
A man resembling Jay-Z’s
mysterious appearance in
a photograph from the
1930s has conspiracy
theorists convinced that
the rapper has the ability
to travel back in time. The
picture, taken in 1939 by
legendary American
photographer Sid
Grossman, depicts “Jay-Z”
looking into the camera
while sitting on a metal
railing in front of a
building.
The photo was unearthed
by a curator at the New
York Public Library in
2013 and quickly became
the subject of conspiracy
theories, including the
suggestion that Jay-Z
journeyed back to 1939 to
do research for the
soundtrack to The Great
Gatsby. The movie is
actually set in the 1920s,
but time travel is
presumably an imperfect
science.
However, some skeptics
have scoffed at the time
travel theory, insisting
that Jay-Z is actually a
vampire and could easily
be over 1,000 years old,
thus explaining his eerily
extensive knowledge of
New York City. Of course,
Jay-Z wouldn’t be the first
celebrity to be outed as
undead—just ask the
antiques dealer who
produced photographic
evidence that Nicolas Cage
has been alive since the
Civil War.

PoliticsUS To Deploy Up To 3,000 Military Personnel To Fight Ebola In West Africa by Knighttemplar(op): 10:54pm On Sep 16, 2014
President Obama is
expected to announce
Tuesday that he's sending
up to 3,000 military
personnel to combat the
Ebola virus in West Africa.
Obama will announce the
stepped-up offensive
against the outbreak,
which has killed more
than 2,200 people in five
West African countries, in
an appearance at the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in Atlanta.
Administration officials
said that the U.S. would
help to provide medical
and logistical support to
overwhelmed local health
care systems and to boost
the number of beds
needed to isolate and
treat victims of the
epidemic. The Defense
Department has asked
Congress for nearly $500
million in existing funds to be put toward the effort.
The money would
otherwise be used to
support overseas
contingency operations,
such as the drawdown of
troops in Afghanistan.
The new initiatives include training as many as 500 health care workers a
week; erecting 17 heath
care facilities with
approximately 100 beds
each; setting up a joint
command headquartered
in Monrovia, Liberia, to
coordinate between U.S.
and international relief
efforts; providing home
health care kits to
hundreds of thousands of
households, including
50,000 that the U.S.
Agency for International
Development (USAID) will
deliver to Liberia this
week; and carrying out a
home- and community-
based campaign to train
local populations on how
to handle exposed
patients.
The fight against Ebola is
considered, in part, a
national security issue
because the disease
threatens fragile
governments in Africa and
could lead to more safe
havens for terrorists.............

Foreign Affairs‘dead Hand,’ Russia’s Terrifying Doomsday Device by Knighttemplar(op): 5:17pm On Aug 09, 2014
During the Cold War,
Russia created a fail-safe
device for their nuclear
weapons arsenal to ensure
a second strike capability
even if all command and
control were to be
destroyed. The system
(code-named Dead Hand)
utilized seismic, light,
radioactivity, and pressure
sensors to detect an
incoming nuclear attack
and retaliate if necessary.
The best part? The system
is almost certainly still
operational.

Originally built 25 years
ago, the system was
created to ensure a
nuclear retaliation if
Russia were attacked by
the US. Should this
happen, the system would
be triggered by an
elaborate network of
sensors positioned around
Russia, it would then
retaliate with an all-out
launch of missiles against
targets throughout the US.
At the time that Dead
Hand was created, many
Russian military strategists
feared US ballistic nuclear
submarines and their first
strike capabilities. If the
submarines were to
stealthily move within
Russia’s territorial waters,
they could strike with very
little notice. This would
make it possible for the
Americans to destroy the
entire Soviet leadership
without provoking a
retaliation by the
leaderless Soviet military.
To combat this perceived
weakness, the Soviets
created Dead Hand to
ensure they maintained a
second strike capability
regardless of a US first
strike outcome.
One of the many systems
that Dead Hand relies on is
an interesting reserve
communication system
known as “Perimeter.”
Perimeter consists of a
network of command
rockets that are used to
transmit launch
commands directly to the
strategic missile launchers.
Once Perimeter received
commands to proceed, the
rockets would be launched
and begin broadcasting
launch orders to the
missile launch sites
continuously for up to 50
minutes. This ensured
that, even if
communication networks
were disabled, launch
commands could still be
sent to strategic missile
regiments in the field and
a nuclear strike could
proceed.
In typical Cold War–era
reasoning, Dead Hand was
just one more level of
annihilation stacked on
top of the already
terrifying idea of mutual
self-destruction, perhaps
(theoretically) giving the
Americans one more
reason to pause their itchy
trigger fingers. However,
the scariest part of Dead
Hand is the fact that it
does not require human
intervention at all. If an
event, like an asteroid,
triggers its detectors in
any way that resemble a
nuclear attack, Dead Hand
is more than capable of
beginning the process of
nuclear annihilation all on
its own. According to
reports, it would attempt
to contact political and
military leaders, and if
they could not be
contacted within a
specified period of time, it
could decide its own time
for retaliation.
All is not lost it seems, as
Russia had the good sense
to place human
intervention somewhere
within this process.
Situated deep
underground in a bunker
sit three Russian duty
officers who decide
whether or not to begin
Armageddon. It rests in
their good hands to
question whether said
event passed from Dead
Hand was an actual
nuclear attack or
something of a much
more benign nature. If it is
determined that a real
attack had occurred and
the Moscow leadership
had been destroyed or
was unreachable, they
were tasked with deciding
whether or not to initiate
the Perimeter system and
launch all their remaining
missiles.
