Top 10 Wackiest Conspiracy Theories


Dinosauroid-like Alien Reptiles are dominating the World
Christine Fitzgerald, a confidante of Diana, Princess of Wales, claims that Diana told her that the Royal Family were Reptilian aliens, and that they could shapeshift.

David Icke's --BBC reporter-- claims that humanity is actually under the control of dinosauroid-like alien reptiles who must consume human blood to maintain their human appearance.

"Evidence" goes from Sumerian tablets describing the "Anunnaki" (which he translates as "those who from heaven to earth came"), to the serpent in the Biblical Garden of Eden, to child abuse, fluoridation, and the genealogical connections between the Bush family and the House of Windsor.

Icke theorizes that the reptilians came here from the constellation Draco. Like most conspiracy theories, falsification of Icke's hypotheses is nearly impossible, but Icke continues to sell books and give speaking engagements based on concepts ranging from the New Age to his political opinions.

Apollo 11 Moon Landings were faked by NASA
Proponents of the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations allege that the Apollo Moon Landings never took place, and were faked by NASA with possible CIA support. Enthusiasts of this theory claim that:


The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation
The photos were altered: the Crosshairs on some photos appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be
The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.
There are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows.
Identical backgrounds in photos that are listed as taken miles apart.
The moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.
No blast crater appeared from the landing
The launch rocket produced no visible flame.
The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.
September 11 was orchestrated by the U. S. government
A number of urban myths, alternative hypotheses and conspiracy theories have been formulated to explain the events of September 11th:

The U.S., Israel or Iraq government orchestrated the attacks themselves.
The Twin Towers fell straight down, at close to free-fall speed. This is a similar characteristic of a controlled demolition. The dust cloud and its make up are considered un-characteristic of a gravity-driven collapse.
It is often pointed out that no steel building before or since the 9-11 attack has collapsed as the result of fire.
The rubble of the Twin Towers smoldered for weeks after the collapse. This claim is meant to point out that steel could only have smoldered as a result of pre-placed explosives.
Some consider photographic evidence of the plane lying on the grounds of the Pentagon to be ambiguous and unconvincing, citing a visual lack of burnt metal, human remains, passenger's luggage or seats.
The Pentagon was struck in a newly renovated, reinforced section. Some speculate this location, the west side of the complex, to be indicative of government involvement, noting it as an attempt to reduce casualties.
Flight 77 was able to fly in the direction of the DC and Pentagon area for approximately 40 minutes without interception. This is thought to be unusual given the Pentagon's close proximity to Andrews Air Force Base.
There are claims that anti-missile batteries at the Pentagon should have intercepted Flight 77.
The FBI confiscated a video, which may have captured the impact, from a nearby gas station attended by Jose Velasquez. This video has not yet been released.
Barcodes are really intended to Control people
Some conspiracy theorists have proposed that barcodes are really intended to serve as means of control by a putative world government, or that they are Satanic in intent.

Mary Stewart Relfe claims in "The New Money System 666" that barcodes secretly encode the number 666 - the Biblical "Number of the Beast".

This theory has been adopted by other fringe figures such as the "oracle" Sollog, who refuses to label any of his books with barcodes on the grounds that "any type of computer numbering systems MANDATED by any government or business is part of the PROPHECY of the BEAST controlling you."

Charlemagne never existed, is a fictional character
Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig which suggests that the Early Middle Ages (614–911 CE) never occurred, meaning that all artifacts attributed to this time period were from other times, and all historical figures were outright fabrications.

One consequence of Illig's hypothesis is that Charlemagne never existed but is a fictional character. The vast majority of historians believe this theory to be complete fiction, as all cited evidence can be considered circumstantial.

The Truth is out there, on Area 51
The secretive nature of Area 51 and undoubted connection to classified aircraft research, together with reports of unusual phenomena, have led Area 51 to become a centerpiece of modern UFO and conspiracy theory folklore. Some of the unconventional activities claimed to be underway at Area 51 include:
The storage, examination, and reverse engineering of crashed alien spacecraft (including material supposedly recovered at Roswell), the study of their occupants (living and dead), and the manufacture of aircraft based on alien technology.
Meetings or joint undertakings with extraterrestrials.
The development of exotic energy weapons (for SDI applications or otherwise) or means of weather control.
Activities related to a supposed shadowy world government.
Microsoft sends messages on Wingdings Font
The Wingdings Font included with Windows has a history of controversy. In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that the character sequence "NYC" in Wingdings was rendered as Skull and crossbones symbol, Star of David, and thumbs up gesture. This could be interpreted as a message of approval of killing Jews, especially those from New York City.

Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. Various other combinations of Wingings characters are alleged to have special significance by conspiracy theorists, but these results are likely purely coincidental.

U.S. military caused the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
Popular Arab news services claim the U.S. and Indian militaries deliberately caused the Indian Ocean tsunamis with electromagnetic pulse technology.

Another type of theory bases its claims on oil and gas interests. Others also reason that the technology is at least feasible if not highly probable since research into such technology has been conducted by the military as far back as World War II.

The Nazis had a Moon Base
Esoteric Hitlerists and conspiracy theorists interested in Nazi mysticism and World War II have speculated that the Germans landed on the Moon as early as 1942.

According to other theories it is believed that the Nazis had made contact with 'half a dozen' alien races, including the malevolent Reptilians.

Kentucky Fried Chicken makes black men impotent
It is sometimes claimed that the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise is owned by the Ku Klux Klan, and the chicken is laced with a drug that makes only black men impotent.

Ironically, the KFC franchise is actually owned by an African-American.

The flag was provided with a horizontal bar at the top, to allow it to at least hang open rather than folded against the flagpole. In low gravity, zero air-friction conditions, it'd hang and swing back and forth for very long periods of time after it was planted, or the last time someone touched it or disturbed it in any way. Possibly that explains it?

If the Americans were building spacecraft/aircraft that were supremely superior to anything else out there, maybe this could be believed, but they aren't.

My favourite conspiracy theory is the one about Lee Harvey Oswald killing Kennedy with one bullet, further wounding Kennedy and wounding Connolly, with one other bullet that was found in pristine condition on a stretcher.

Actually, the "magic bullet" supposedly hit Kennedy in the back of the head, exited his throat, entered Connolly's back, exited under his left nipple, shattered his left wrist and entered his leg..........and the bullet supposedly suffered practically no deformation, despite smashing several bones.......

Now there is a "conspiracy theory" with legs......

Any fringe leftist will gobble that up in short order.........and actually believe it.

Actually, since you mentioned it, an Australian ballistics expert team, recreated the events of that day, to the very last detail, including the weather, wind direction, sun angle, firing distance....etc.

They used a model constructed of "flesh" and "bones" that that mimic the human body almost exactly.

They used a box of the same bullets manufactured 40 years ago. Same rifle.

Low and behold their finding were exactly as the Warren commision reported.

But why on earth would you believe that?

On another note, your military has gassed people in the Atlantic Provinces with Agent Orange, any news about that? :-|

ROFLMAO! I cannot believe someone still believes that single bullet theory. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Zapruder film tells the whole story.

Bull! Or as someone else said,"Heiferdust"

I own a 6.5 Manlikker rifle exactly like that of Oswald. I hunted with that rifle for a number of years. I once accidently gut shot a deer from a hundred yards and the bullet was almost unrecognisable. Nobody, including you, can tell me that bullet that was found on the stretcher hit any bone.

BTW ITN, , I didn't shoot Kennedy.:p

What's more hilarious is that it appears you know squat about the whole event other than the usual conspiracy theory bull****.

The fake moon landing was started because the tape that was recieved at NASA was immediately taken to a movie studio to enhance the images that were sent. AS for 9/11,sigh, the israelis did it to bring the US into the middle east and I suppose no one thought that attacking your best friend in the whole world,the very nation that has had your back for years,that has kept you from being pushed into the sea, might not be a good idea. Of course I believe the rest,you damn reptiles.
