Another one is “Why did the twin towers collapse so quickly, within their own footprint, after fires on a few floors that lasted only an hour or two?” Conspiracy theorists say the twin towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions. Also, conspiracy theorists also ask the question “How could an amateur pilot fly a commercial plane in a complicated maneuver into the headquarters of the world’s most powerful military (referring to the military), 78 minutes after the 1st report of a possible hijack, and leave no trace behind?” At first the conspiracy theorists thought that it was a missile that went into the pentagon rather than a plane, now they think that the Pentagon conducted the attack themselves to create some type of distraction. Another interesting theory, asks the question “Why was the crash site at Shanksville PA, so small and why was the aircraft debris not visible?”…

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…
The day of September 11th, 2001 the world witnessed with disbelief as the World Trade Center in New York City came crashing down. The shock the attacks generated and the some 3,000 or more people it killed made it one of the brutal attacks in history. One may only wonder how such a grand scaled attack could be carried through. Although controversial, evidence suggests that the September 11th attacks in 2001 were an inside job and the statements of the Bush administration following them were a fabricated truth that many people believed. Unfortunately the tragic event has scarred the lives of many people globally and changed the course of the near future.[1]…
The idea of the American government ignoring the threat of an imminent attack in order to create an excuse for war prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour has been widely regarded as a conspiracy. It is argued that prior to the infamous attack on December 7th 1941, US intelligence revived a large amount of substantive evidence showing an imminent attack on the naval base at Pearl Harbour, in Hawaii. It is believed by some that a ‘False Flag Operation’ was the intention, wherein an excuse for war with Japan was given through allowing the attack to signal the beginning of an era where the entire world was at war. This essay will go into depth the reason for…
First is Lee Harvey Oswald. There were many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963. These theories suspect that the assassination involved people or organizations other than Lee Harvey Oswald. Most current theories put forth a criminal conspiracy involving parties as different as the CIA the Mafia, that had sitting Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson, Cuban President, Fidel Castro, the KGB or some combination of those realities. Some conspiracy theories claim that the United States government covered up crucial…
Conspiracy theorists make rash claims and provide their listeners with half facts when the entire truth has been unveiled. They lack credibility and see only what they wish to see while ignoring the blatantly obvious facts that are right in front of them. Many reasons have been given as to why this was an inside job, such as a lack of debris found at the crash site of Flight 93. Others say that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt the steel structures of the twin towers, and multiple explosions were heard and reported by those inside the buildings. Building 7 of the World Trade center was what many conspirators focused on. They stated that the building was demolished and that its lower supports had bombs planted on them that caused the building to go down rather than fires created by debris from the two initial attacks. Another argument is that the hole in the pentagon, created by Flight 77, was much too small for an…

There are many different 9/11 conspiracy theories that disagree with the widely accepted account that the September 11 attacks were committed solely by al-Qaeda. In a 2008 global poll of 16,063 people in 17 countries, majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks. 46% of those surveyed believed al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks, 15% believed the U.S. government was responsible, 7% believed Israel was and another 7% believed some other perpetrator, other than al Qaeda, was responsible. The most popular of all conspiracy theories is that the collapse of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center were the result of a controlled demolition rather than structural failure due to fire. Another pretty popular belief is that the Pentagon was hit by a missile launched by elements from inside the U.S. government or that a commercial airliner was allowed to do so because of the American military.…
Conspiracy Theories A Conspiracy Theory is an explanation of an event that invokes an unwarranted conspiracy, usually one involving a harmful act planned out by the government or other powerful authorities. Conspiracy theories have been around for as long as the puritans arrived in the United States. The first documented conspiracy was on January, 30, 1835 at a congressman’s funeral. On this day assassin Richard Lawrence fired two pistols at president Andrew Jackson and misfired both shots.…
Over the past decade, many have wondered why on August 31, 1997 Princess Diana’s life was cut short due to an auto accident. Very little information has been released until recently when many different theories of a possible conspiracy started to circulate Europe as well as the United States. The conspiracy thoughts included that she was not mistakenly run off the road, but instead the entire death was secretly being well planned out by the royal family. Many things involving the case are still going on today. On March 31st, 2008 the case was dismissed, but there are still many unanswered questions. Although the official investigation shows that Princess Diana’s death was due to an aggressive paparazzi and an intoxicated driver, many are starting to believe that the royal family was involved. Stopping Diana’s critical public attacks on the royal family, allowing Prince Charles to remarry and preventing Diana’s relationship with an Arab Muslim are all possible motives for the royal family’s involvement.…
The definition of conspiracy is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as “a secret plan made by two or more people to do something bad, illegal, or against someone’s wishes.” The word conspiracy is often paired with the word theory because people have been conditioned to believe that no conspiracies can be true, they are simply theoretical. But what happens when evidence is suplementary to a theory? A theory can no longer be a theory when there is evidence to back it, it then becomes a possibility.…
"It was very apparent to everyone who had carefully followed the course of events that we would sooner or later have to meet the threat to civilization which these aggressor nations were presenting to the world and that we would ultimately be left to face the onslaught alone " are words from then Secretary of War Henry Stimson. America knew she was headed for war, her people though, not directly feeling the effects of the conflicts going on half a world away would not support the loss of American lives for a foreign war. The government knew about the planned attacks on Pearl Harbor, kept the information from the military leaders that needed it the most, and used the tragedy to rally the nation toward war.…
Conspiracy theories are usually associated with some kind of political issue, whether it be about fiscal issues, trying to get laws passed, wars, and so on. When searching for information on conspiracy theories, I could see that they are usually associated with some kind of illness or just being crazy. For a conspiracy theory to be true, especially on a large scale, many people would need to be involved. I believe that’s one of the reasons that a lot of people don’t believe in them. The public cannot wrap its head around this kind of manipulation. Personally, I have no idea if they could be possible. There have been hundred of alleged conspiracy theories floating around. Some if the most popular include events like 9/11, The War on Terror, and I’ve even been exposed to some involving Sandy Hook. I think that conspiracy theories are so controversial and difficult to prove or disprove that they’re talked about frequently and questioned constantly.…
