This is a list of conspiracy theories; theories involving conspiracies, which are not recognized as true by most mainstream sources.

A conspiracy is defined by law as an agreement by two or more persons to commit a crime, fraud, or other wrongful act. [1] While in the strictest sense a "conspiracy theory" is a theory about a conspiracy, the term usually refers to a theory that attributes the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually political, social, pop cultural or historical events), or the concealment of such causes from public knowledge, to a secret, and often deceptive plot by a cabal of powerful or influential people or organizations. A conspiracy theory attributes the ultimate cause of an event or chain of events (usually Political, Social or Historical events or the concealment Histocially, many conspiracy theories have been proved true (e. g. the conspiracy to assassinate U. S. President Abraham Lincoln and members of his cabinet in 1865, the Business Plot of 1933 to overthrow the U. Abraham Lincoln (February 12 1809 &ndash April 15 1865 the sixteenth President of the United States, successfully led his country through its greatest internal The Business Plot (also the Plot Against FDR and the White House Putsch) was a political conspiracy in 1933 wherein wealthy businessmen and corporations S. government) and are not discussed in the present article.

This list of conspiracy theories is a list of some of the most prevalent conspiracy theories which have not been recognized as true by most mainstream academics. In some cases, rebuttals have been offered to counter the theories; in other cases the theories have merely been summarily dismissed.

The New World Order

Main article: New World Order (conspiracy)

This popular conspiracy theory claims that a small group of international elites controls and manipulates governments, industry and media organizations worldwide. New World Order refers to a Conspiracy in which a powerful and secretive group is plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous World The primary tool they use to dominate nations is the system of central banking. A central bank, reserve bank, or monetary authority is the entity responsible for the Monetary policy of a country or of a group of member states They are said to have funded and in some cases caused most of the major wars of the last 200 years, primarily through carrying out false flag attacks to manipulate populations into supporting them, and have a grip on the world economy, deliberately causing inflation and depressions at will. Operatives working for the New World Order are said to be placed in high positions in government and industry. The people behind the New World Order are thought to be international bankers, in particular the owners of the private banks in the Federal Reserve System, Bank of England and other central banks, and members of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg Group. The Bank of England (formally the Governor and Company of the Bank of England) is a state-owned institution and the Central bank of the United Kingdom The Council on Foreign Relations ( CFR) is an American Nonpartisan foreign policy membership organization founded in 1921 and based at 58 East 68th Street (at The Trilateral Commission is a private organization established to foster closer cooperation between America Europe and Japan The Bilderberg Group, Bilderberg conference, or Bilderberg Club is an unofficial annual invitation-only conference of around [2] The New World Order is also said to control supranational and global organisations such as the European Union, United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and the proposed North American Union.

The term itself gained popularity following its use in the early 1990s, first by President George H. W. Bush when he referred to his "dream of a New World Order" in his speech to the United States Congress on September 11, 1990, and second by David Rockefeller in a Statement to the United Nations Business Council in September 1994, sometimes cited as evidence that the New World Order had a motive for carrying out the 9/11 attacks:

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12 1924 served as the forty-first President of the United States from 1989 to 1993 For the conspiracy theory see New World Order (conspiracy, for other uses see New World Order.

"[3]

The concept of this shadow government pre-dates 1990 and they are accused of being the same group of people who, among other things, created the Federal Reserve Act (1913), supported the Bolshevik Revolution (1917), and supported the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, all for their own agenda. The Federal Reserve Act (ch 6, Enacted December 23 1913) is the act of Congress that created the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United The October Revolution (Октябрьская революция Oktyabrskaya revolyutsiya) also known as the Soviet Revolution The, officially National Socialist German Workers' Party, ( abbreviated NSDAP) was a Political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945 Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.

The World Bank is an internationally supported Bank that provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries for development programs (e A central bank, reserve bank, or monetary authority is the entity responsible for the Monetary policy of a country or of a group of member states [5]

Many conspiracy theorists believe that Denver International Airport is the western US headquarters of the New World Order, and a massive underground base and city is believed to exist underneath the airport. Denver International Airport, often called DIA, is by land size at, the largest international Airport in the United States, and the second largest Reasons for this include the airport's unusually large size (larger than some major cities), distance from the Denver, Colorado city center, and the set of bizarre murals depicting burning cities, gas-mask wearing soldiers, girls in coffins, Masonic symbols and strange writing. The City and County of Denver (pronounced /ˈdɛnvɚ/ is the Capital and the most populous city of Colorado, in the United States [6]

Federal Reserve System

The New World Order is said to control the wealth of nations through central banks, via the issuance of currency. The Federal Reserve System is the central bank of the United States, created in 1913. There is a theory that the Federal Reserve System is designed to transfer wealth from the poor and middle classes of the United States and to the international bankers of the New World Order. [7]

There is also a theory that the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox holds no, or very limited stocks of, gold. The United States Bullion Depository, commonly called Fort Knox is a fortified vault building located near Fort Knox Kentucky which is used to store a large Fort Knox is a United States Army post in Kentucky south of Louisville and north of Elizabethtown. The theory is that the gold has been 'removed' by the international bankers. [8]

Electronic banking conspiracy

The Theory of Electronic Conspiracy is a variant of modern New World Order conspiracy theories. New World Order refers to a Conspiracy in which a powerful and secretive group is plotting to eventually rule the world via an autonomous World Basically, the theory consists of the belief that a secret group has attempted for centuries to reach worldwide dominion and now, by means of controlling the computerized information of the planet, [???]. According to this theory, the worldwide dominion has been planned from antiquity and follows the following phases:[9]

  1. The substitution of precious metal-based coin currency by paper currency. This process began in the Renaissance, with the beginning of the use of tickets which allowed for people to have a tangible good (such as silver or gold pieces) by paper -- a more virtual, but comfortable, medium which the State was committed to provide the equivalent amount of precious metal if such was required. The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth" Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere Silver (ˈsɪlvɚ is a Chemical element with the symbol " Ag " (argentum from the Ancient Greek: ἀργήντος - argēntos gen Gold (ˈɡoʊld is a Chemical element with the symbol Au (from its Latin name aurum) and Atomic number 79 Precious Metal is the eighteenth episode in the of the popular American Crime drama, which is set in Las Vegas, Nevada.
  2. The appearance of virtual money, with Credit cards: the money becomes more virtual. A credit card is part of a system of Payments named after the small Plastic card issued to users of the system No longer is it at least paper, but rather a series of numbers recorded in magnetic stripes.
  3. The appearance of Internet and Electronic commerce. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce' or eCommerce, consists of the buying and selling of products or services over electronic No longer are credit cards necessary: from a computer it is possible to both purchase and sell. This phase connects the theory of the Antichrist and the relation of the number 666 with the Internet. For other uses see Antichrist (disambiguation In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist or anti-Christ means a person office The Number of the Beast is a concept from the Book of Revelation of the New Testament of the Christian Bible.
  4. The concentration of the worldwide bank into few hands, by means of continuous international banking fusions.
  5. The worldwide implementation of an electronic identity card. The electronic identity card (eID is an official electronic proof of one's identity
  6. The great world-wide blackout. A tremendous disaster will take place when, after a great electrical blackout on a planetary scale, the data of all electronic accounts erase simultaneously. After this event, chaos and poverty will immediately ensue throughout the planet; and civilization will revert to its primitive forms of slavery to survive. This is the last aim of the "secret organization" which has spent centuries guiding this process. The worldwide blackout will be preceded by partial blackouts that would only be tests and "signals" to communicate that different phases of the process are being fulfilled. An example of these partial blackouts would be those that have been produced almost simultaneously in different parts around the world; and, at the beginning of the 21st century, shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks: the blackouts in the United States, Canada, Australia, and London.

False flag operations

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. VeriChip is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA-approved human-implantable Radio-frequency identification (RFID microchip Radio-frequency identification ( RFID) is an automatic identification method relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or Numerous conspiracy theories have developed suggesting that false flag operations have been carried out throughout the 20th century, and the secrecy of the true nature of the events have been maintained by successful cover-ups.

The following are some attacks that are believed by some to be examples of false flag attacks:

Wars

The motivations for nations starting, entering, or ending wars are often brought into question by conspiracy theorists. Munitions suppliers are often blamed[14] for devising, coordinating and precipitating the events that lead nations into war, either in part or in toto. F G H I L According to this view, there is always a party within the nation that benefits from war, on whatever pretext: the suppliers of weapons and other military material. President Dwight Eisenhower referred to this source of potential conflict of interest as the military-industrial complex. Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower (October 14 1890 – March 28 1969 was President of the United States from 1953 until 1961 and a five-star general A conflict of interest is a situation in which someone in a position of trust such as a Lawyer, Insurance adjuster, a Politician, executive or director A military-industrial complex (MIC is a concept commonly used to refer to Policy relationships between Governments national Armed forces, and industrial President Abraham Lincoln is known to have made a similar observation near the close of the American Civil War.

Related is the allegation that certain wars which are claimed by politicians to be in the national interest, or for humanitarian purposes, are in fact motivated by the conquest and control of natural resources for commercial interest. Natural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified ( natural) form In 1898's Spanish-American War, the explosion of the USS Maine prompted the US annexation of Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam.

In recent times, wars in the Middle East such as the Gulf War and the invasion of Iraq have been described as wars for oil. The Middle East is a Subcontinent with no clear boundaries often used as a synonym to Near East, in opposition to Far East. The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1 2003 was spearheaded by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia Petroleum ( L petroleum, from Greek πετρέλαιον, lit In many cases, critics have accused the U.

It has been suggested that war is a perfect way of distracting citizens, as an electoral tactic, from difficulties facing the then current administration. This premise is the basis of the film Wag the Dog, and the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Coups d'état

Governments, particularly the United States government, have been accused of carrying false flag coups d'etat, in order to install friendly governments in foreign countries. Some of these have since been acknowledged - such as Operation Ajax (1953), a covert coup to topple the democratically elected leaders of Iran. The 1953 Iranian Coup d'état deposed the government of Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq and his cabinet, it was effected by Gen For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Iran topics.

Assassinations

Conspiracy theories sometimes emerge following assassinations of prominent people. Haiti ( English: ˈheɪ·tiː or haɪ·ˈjiː·tiː French Haïti a·i·ti Haitian Creole: The Venezuelan coup attempts of 1992 were an abortive Coup d'état led by Hugo Chávez in February 1992 and a second attempted coup in November 1992 directed by Suharto retired in May 1998 following collapse of support for his three-decade long Presidency of Indonesia.

Kennedy (1963), which has caused a number of conspiracy theories to develop. The assassination of John F Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday November 22 1963 in Dallas Texas Central to this theory is the claim that the injuries received by Kennedy and his driver could not have been caused by a lone gunman behind the motorcade and to the right. This theory was popularised by the Oliver Stone movie, JFK. William Oliver Stone (born 15 September) is an American Film director and Screenwriter. JFK is a 1991 American film directed by Oliver Stone. The film was released on December 20 1991 Three polls conducted in 2003 suggest that there is widespread disbelief among the U. S. public about the official story of a lone gunman - between 68% and 83%. [15]

The assassinations of Robert Kennedy (1968), Martin Luther King Jr. (1968) and Malcolm X (1965) are also the subject of conspiracy theories. Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy (November 20 1925 – June 6 1968 also called RFK, was the United States Attorney General from 1961 to 1964 and a Martin Luther King Jr ( January 15, 1929 April 4, 1968) was an American clergyman, Activist and prominent leader Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little; May 19 1925 February 21 1965 also known as El-Hajj Malik El- Shabazz, was an African American In many cases, it is asserted that a "Manchurian candidate" may have been used. The Manchurian Candidate is a 1959 thriller Novel written by Richard Condon, adapted into films in 1962 and 2004. Often evidence for such theories include the reactions by individuals and government agencies following the events, such as the creation of biased commissions to conduct official investigations. The question of "Who benefits?" is also often asked, with conspiracy theorists asserting that insiders had far more powerful motives than those to whom the assassination is attributed by the mainstream.

Earlier examples of assassinations about which there are conspiracy theories include those of Abraham Lincoln (1865) and Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (1914). Abraham Lincoln (February 12 1809 &ndash April 15 1865 the sixteenth President of the United States, successfully led his country through its greatest internal Franz Ferdinand ( December 18, 1863 &ndash June 28, 1914) was an Archduke of Austria-Este, Prince Imperial of The assassinations of historical figures, such as Eric V of Denmark (1286), remain subject to conspiracy theories. Eric V "Klipping" ( 1249 - November 22, 1286) was King of Denmark (1259-1286 and son of Christopher I. More recent examples include those of Carrero Blanco (1973), Benigno Aquino, Jr. (1983), Olof Palme (1986) Yitzhak Rabin (1995), Alexander Litvinenko (2006) and Benazir Bhutto (2007).

Some deaths that are officially recorded as accident or suicide are also the subject of some conspiracy theories. Examples include the car crash that killed Lady Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed in 1997, and the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash in 1999. On 31 August 1997, Diana Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road Emad El-Din Mohamed Abdel Moneim Fayed ( Arabic عماد الدين محمد عبد المنعم الفايد) ( April 15, 1955 &ndash John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr (November 25 1960 – July 16 1999 often referred to as John F Other examples from 1990s include: the suicide of Deputy White House Counsel Vincent Foster (1993); the plane crash that killed United States Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown (1996); the Mayerling Incident (1889); and the deaths of U.

Zachary Taylor (November 24 1784 &ndash July 9 1850 was an American military leader and the twelfth President of the United States. Władysław Eugeniusz Sikorski (May 20 1881 – July 4 1943 pronounced) was a Polish military and political leader James Vincent Forrestal ( February 15, 1892 &ndash May 22, 1949) was a United States Secretary of the Navy and the first United Harold Edward Holt, CH (5 August 1908 17 December 1967 was an Australian politician who became the 17th Prime Minister of Australia in 1966 James Patrick Brady, better known as Jim Brady (1908-disappeared 1967 was a Canadian Métis political leader and activist in Saskatchewan and Norman Eric Kirk ( 6 January 1923 &ndash 31 August 1974) was Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1972 until his sudden death in James Riddle ("Jimmy" Hoffa ( February 14, 1913 - disappeared July 30, 1975, exact David Christopher Kelly CMG ( May 17, 1944 – July 17, 2003) was an employee of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence There are also theories about untimely deaths of celebrities, such as Marilyn Monroe (1962), Jimi Hendrix (1970), Bob Marley (1978), John Lennon (1980), Kurt Cobain (1994) and Tupac Shakur (1996). Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson, June 1 1926 &ndash August 5 1962 baptized Norma James Marshall Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix) (November 27 1942 – September 18 1970 was an American Guitarist, Singer and Songwriter Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley OM (February 6 1945 – May 11 1981 was a Jamaican Musician, Singer-songwriter and Rastafarian John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (born Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20 1967 – c April 5 1994 was an American musician who served as lead singer, Guitarist, and songwriter for the Seattle Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16 1971 &mdash September 13 1996 also known by his Stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rapper

There are also theories that some assassination attempts have been carried out by secret conspiracies, in some cases failures but in other cases entirely staged events. The motive for staging an unsuccessful assassination attempt is often to boost the popularity of the person involved; public opinion polls tend to be boosted by unsuccessful attempts on the life of a prominent politician. There have been numerous unsuccessful attempts to assassinate U.S. Presidents. There have been many multiple assassination attempts on presidents of the United States; there have been 17 attempts to kill sitting and former presidents Some of them, such as the attempted assassinations of Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush have aroused suspicions from conspiracy theorists that the events might have been staged.

Technology and weapons

Suppression of technologies

Development of weapons technology

Weapons testing

Surveillance, espionage and intelligence agencies

Particular technologies of surveillance and control arouse concern that has bordered upon, or crossed over into, conspiracy theory. These are technologies being developed by governments which are intended to intrude into the privacy or harm the persons of citizens, particularly dissenters. Conspiracy theories of this sort cast government agencies as pursuing vast technical powers in order to spy on people, control their minds, or otherwise suppress an alienated populace.

The plausibility of establishing such surveillance capabilities, by technical means or by a widespread network of informants, should perhaps be viewed in the context of events in former Eastern bloc countries, particularly the activities of the East German Stasi before the fall of the Berlin Wall. During the Cold War, the term Communist Bloc (or Soviet Bloc) was used to refer to the Soviet Union and countries it either controlled or that were The German Democratic Republic ( GDR; Deutsche Demokratische Republik DDR; commonly known in English as East Germany) was a Socialist state For the regular police in East Germany see Volkspolizei.

Google Inc is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online

Many governments use intelligence agencies to promote national policies in secretive ways — in several cases including the use of sabotage, propaganda, and assassination. An intelligence agency is a governmental agency that is devoted to the Information gathering (known in the context as " intelligence " Intelligence agencies, such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), KGB, MI6, BND, Inter-Services Intelligence and Mossad, are a common element of political conspiracy theories precisely because they are known to participate in some activities similar to those described in conspiracy theories. near as long as it used to be several months ago It has been actively summarized and split into sub-articles and there is a dynamic talk page discussion of all KGB ( Transliteration of "КГБ" is the Russian abbreviation of Committee for State Security ( Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty The Secret Intelligence Service ( SIS) colloquially known as MI6 is the United Kingdom 's external Intelligence agency.

Medical conspiracies

Drug legalization

Activists and spokespersons for legalization of drugs (especially marijuana) have long espoused a theory that government and private industry conspired during the first half of the 20th century to outlaw hemp, allegedly so that it would no longer provide inexpensive competition to pulp paper and synthetic materials. Cannabis, also known as marijuana or marihuana, or ganja (from Hindi / Sanskrit: गांजा gānjā hemp) is a This article is about the cultivation and uses of industrial hemp not its psychoactive cousin Cannabis (drug.

Medicine

The subject of suppressed-invention conspiracy also touches on the realm of medical quackery: proponents of more unlikely forms of alternative medicine are known to allege conspiracy by mainstream doctors to suppress their cures. The term alternative medicine, as used in the modern western world encompasses any healing practice "that does not fall within the realm of conventional Medicine. Such conspiracies are often said to include government regulators, to the extent that a legal decision may be relevant.

Some medical conspiracy theorists argue that the medical community could actually cure supposedly "incurable" diseases such as cancer (like the noted Luigi di Bella's medicines) and AIDS if it really wanted to, but instead prefers to suppress the cures as a way of extorting more funding from the government and donors, as well as the patients themselves.

Other medical conspiracies charge that the pharmaceutical companies are in league with some medical practitioners to 'invent' new diseases, such as ADD, ADHD.

Diet

This type of theory posits that with the help of the food industry and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the medical industry is generating billions in drug and treatment revenue from unhealthy consumers due to bad or incomplete diet guidelines from the FDA. It is claimed that as long as the medical industry's diet research studies are accepted and enforced as the measure, they will continue to suggest a minimum calorie intake above the actual healthy level and will also continue to suppress any findings of the greater benefits of fasting and other calorie restriction type diets, and as long as the consumer continues to eat at the suggested level of the FDA, obesity will continue to rise and the medical industry will continue to make money. Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all Food, Drink, or both for a period of time Calorie restriction, or caloric restriction (CR aims to improve health and slow the aging process by limiting dietary energy intake Thus, it would be self-defeating for the medical industry to produce a cure for the many services that they depend on to generate revenue from unhealthy diet practices of their customers.

Fluoride is commonly added to drinking water in most developed countries. Water fluoridation is the addition of a chemical to increase the concentration of Fluoride Ions in Drinking water with the purpose of reducing the It is usually justified by drawing attention to the positive benefits to teeth, reducing tooth decay. Dental caries is a disease that damages Tooth structures resulting in what is commonly called tooth decay or cavities which are holes in the teeth There is evidence to suggest that fluoridating the water supply may be harmful for those using it, particularly children. There are conspiracy theories that this information is known and recognised by those responsible for adding the fluoride, but that they continue the practice regardless. Drug companies have been targeted as possible beneficiaries, as they will profit from a population with ill-health. Another motive that has been suggested relates to the evidence suggesting that fluoride lowers mental ability: that fluoridation is, by design, used to "dumb down" the population.

'Peak Oil'

There are theories that the "Peak Oil" concept is a fraud concocted by the oil industries to increase prices amid concerns about future supplies. An oil is a substance that is in a viscous Liquid state ( "oily") at ambient temperatures or slightly warmer and is The oil industry supposedly is aware of vast reserves of untapped oil, but does not utilize them, so that they can maintain the illusion of artificial scarcity. Parallels are drawn between this and the diamond industry, where it is recognized that a monopoly cabal maintain an illusion of artificial scarcity of diamonds, in order to increase their value. In Mineralogy, diamond is the allotrope of carbon where the carbon atoms are arranged in

The supposed presence of large quantities of oil has led to increased interest in the Western world in a theory of the origin of oil that has been accepted since the 1950s in the Soviet Union - the Abiogenic petroleum origin theory.

Armenia Secrets of a "Christian" Terrorist State is a controversial Pseudohistorical, anti-Armenian book written by Samuel Weems He also claimed that the Armenian Church was a "state owned" entity that organises and funds terrorist (including ASALA) attacks and that Armenians had "infiltrated" the United States.

Belief in an "Armenian International Conspiracy," that ethnic Armenians are attempting to change history and hide certain facts for political gain, can also be encountered in Azerbaijan,[27] which has clashed with Armenia over Nagorno Karabakh, a de facto independent republic, officially part of Azerbaijan.

Actual proponents of the "Armenian International Conspiracy" are scarce, and said theories are rarely found outside Turkey and Azerbaijan, countries which have histories of conflict with Armenians. The conspiracy also garners little if any support from scholars, as there exists ample historical evidence that shows the existence of Armenia before the arrival of Turks into Anatolia.

Apocalyptic prophecies

Apocalyptic prophecies, particularly Christian apocalyptic and eschatalogical claims about the end times, the Last Judgment, and the end of the world have inspired a range of conspiracy theories. Eschatology (from the Greek, Eschatos meaning "last" and -logy meaning "the study of" is a part of Theology End time, End times, or End of days are the eschatological writings in the three Abrahamic religions and in doomsday scenarios in various other In Christian eschatology, the Last Judgment or Day of the Lord is the judgment by God of every human who ever lived Eschatology (from the Greek, Eschatos meaning "last" and -logy meaning "the study of" is a part of Theology Many of these deal with the Antichrist.
