Conspiracy Theories: My Biggest Pet Peeves
We humans love drama. We love it so much that whenever we find it we immediately tell someone about it, but if we don’t find any we make some up and tell people anyway.
One of my biggest pet peeves is conspiracy theories. There are so many conspiracy theories that annoy me and i just don’t understand how people can believe them.
One of the biggest conspiracy theories that i just don’t understand is called the Reptilian Elite theory. This theory was popularized by what i believe to be a crazy person whose name is David Icke.
He promotes that anyone holding a position of power or influence in the world… is actually a blood­thirsty, extra­terrestrial, shapeshifting reptile. Now i don’t understand how he figured this out or where he got the idea that people of power are lizards, but like I said, I think hes crazy.

    9/11 Conspiracy Theorists

    Conspiracy theorists have been around for ages: "The holocaust never happened", "Aliens made crop circles", "JFK was killed by the CIA", "Aliens kidnapped Elvis", etc. In my research, I first went to Google in attempt to see how "big" the 9/11 conspiracy theory was and the results were astounding. A search of "9/11 conspiracy theory" resulted in almost 250,000 returns. In seeing such a massive return, many like me might wonder why the obvious has to be proven. For example, even though hundreds of firsthand statements were given of people seeing a plane crash into the Pentagon, conspiracy theorists still state that a missile made the hole. This same plane was hauled away, again seen by citizens. And what about the bodies that were removed from the wreckage site, later identified as those were on the plane? The plane…

    Do you remember the Berenstain Bears being the Berenstein Bears? Or think that the United States really wasn’t the first country to step on the moon? The previous questions connect to a few out of thousands of conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories are the belief that a person or organization secretly influenced or caused an event. For example, some people believe that 9/11 terrorist attacks were actually planned and carried out by the government, who would blame ISIS and give the government a reason to kill Osama Bin Laden. Conspiracy theorists don’t always know if their theory is true, but they do always think that an event’s “official story” is a cover-up. Conspiracy theory popularity has also gained quite a bit; especially theories like…

    This source of information about 9/11 attacks is on the conspiracy theory side of the story which holds a lot of questionable facts that make common sense seem like it’s very true. This video comes down to the fact that maybe our government is hiding the real truth behind this with cover-ups and scams to physiologically attack the American people to gain support for a war.…

    Conspiracy theories have been around for many years. The earliest one that I can find in politics was after the Tea Act of 1773. Thomas Jefferson stated that King George was sending armies to kill and oppress the American people. I believe this helped him to gain support in seceding from Great Britain. The second, also involving Jefferson, but was meant to keep him from being elected as president. Jefferson’s opposition claimed that he was part of a secret society, called the Illuminati, and that he was going to destroy the country with terror and tyranny. They also claimed that he was anti-religion. Another conspiracy was when a group, called the Freemasons or Masons, was thought to be behind Aaron Burr wanting to start an independent…

    The first time Tom Grant had met with Courtney in person, the first words out of her mouth were “you leak this to the press, i’ll sue the f*** out of you.” Tom later mentioned in an interview that every time he was with her she was either on drugs or doing drugs. On-lookers started questioning his loyalty to Courtney and the fact that since he was working for her, why wasn’t he on her side? Was he creating a conspiracy theory to gain publicity, or maybe even fame? Tom Grant mentioned in another interview that “the word conspiracy is actually a legal term. It simply means two or more people plotting or planning to commit a crime… When somebody refers to me as a conspiracy theorist, I take it as an insult because I know what they mean by it.…

    Organized crime groups had close contacts with the CIA primarily to discuss the assassination of the Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Before Castro’s communist revolution, the mob had massive investments in gambling particularly Casinos and other profitable investments within Cuba. The Kennedy administration sabotaged the “Bay of Pigs” invasion, cutting the hopes of the American organized groups to return Cuba (Twyman 841). As such, these exile groups alongside the mob were enraged and might have plotted to assassinate Kennedy. Besides, the mob was against the way in which Attorney General Robert Kennedy handled organized crimes (White 32). Therefore, the ant-Castro exile Cubans are believed to have conspired and sponsored the assassination of JF Kennedy. Although the 1978 report ruled out any involvement of the Mafia in the plot, it conceded that elements of the mob were part of the conspiracy. As such, both the mob and Mafia played in the Kennedy assassination conspiracy because of Attorney General’s actions as well as Kennedy’s move to sabotage the “Bay of Pigs” invasion. Below is another argument on the Kennedy assassination, the CIA in particular.…

    Have you ever wondered why other people are so unreasonable and hard to convince? Why is it that they disregard hard facts that prove you’re right and they’re worng? The fact is, we humans aren’t wired to think very rationally. That’s been confirmed recently by brain scans, but out irrational reaction to hard evidence has been the subject of scholarly study for some time. Consider one of the most famous scientific observations in all of psychology, the story of a UFO cult that was infiltrated by the social psychologist Leon Festinger and his colleagues half a century ago.…
