Many conspiracy theories have been presented concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks, many of them claiming that President George W. Bush and/or individuals in his administration knew about the attacks beforehand and purposefully allowed them to occur because the attacks would generate public support for militarization, expansion of the police state, and other intrusive foreign and domestic policies by which they would benefit.

From the 50's to the 70's the CIA ran a variety of experiments testing whether subliminal messages, electrical impulses and psychedelic drugs could be used for mind control. The most famous of them is MK-Ultra, a project that tested the mind control applications of LSD, psilocybin, mescaline and other drugs on prostitutes, prisoners, mental patients and soldiers without their knowledge or consent. Numerous sub-projects were also exposed. MK-Search aimed to concoct a truth serum for interrogating detainees. Project Artichoke aimed to induce amnesia using drugs and hypnosis. The Stargate Project studied “remote viewing.” That’s right. They blew tax dollars trying to see through walls with their mind.

The government paid off major media outlets like Time, The Washington Post, The New York Times, CBS and others to publish government propaganda. Dubbed Operation Mockingbird, from 1948 to 1972 over 400 well-known domestic and foreign journalists, and over 300 newspapers and magazines were paid to report what the CIA told them to report. At least one movie, the animated “Animal Farm,” by George Orwell, was directly funded by the CIA. They also paid editors to keep anti-government reports out of the press. This was exposed in 1975 by the Church Committee.

The Roswell UFO Incident involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in July 1947, which have since become the subject of intense speculation, rumor, questioning and research. There are widely divergent views on what actually happened, and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed. The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the thirty-fifth President of the United States, took place on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, USA at 12:30 p.m. CST (18:30 UTC). Kennedy was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding with his wife Jacqueline in a presidential motorcade through Dealey Plaza. The official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a ten-month period, and its report was published in September 1964. The Commission concluded that the assassination was carried out solely by Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza.

From 1932 to 1972 the US government carried out the Tuskegee Study, a clinical study of syphilis on 400 poor, African-American citizens. The government promised free treatment, but instead the subjects were given false and dangerous treatments, such as aspirin, while adequate treatment was intentionally withheld so the progress of the disease could be observed. 128 subjects died from syphilis or related complications, so their autopsies also became relevant to the study. In addition 40 women contracted syphilis from male subjects who were denied knowledge of their condition, and 19 children were born with congenital disease.

I know right. Nazis. But hear me out. After the Nazi regime fell in May 1945, the Allies felt no compunctions looting the rubble. Useful equipment. Needed supplies. No problem. But soliciting applications from the newly unemployed seems a little fool hardy. The US government rounded up German scientists, pardoned their war crimes, and offered them jobs. President Truman objected, so the military created the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency, which was tasked with creating fake background information for unprosecuted, unapologetic Nazi scientists. So, hundreds of Nazis became high level government employees. For example, Arthur Rudolph, who was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of inmates, joined the US space program. In total, 700 Nzie scientists found employment with the

In 1997, Princess Diana (Princess of Wales) and Dodi Fayed (son of Mohamed Fayed, owner of the Ritz Hotel and Harrods) were killed in a car accident while trying to get away from press photographers in Paris. The scandal surrounding their relationship (Dodi was Muslim whilst Diana was the mother of the future head of the Church of England) has led many people to speculate that they were actually killed in order to prevent further scandal to the throne of England.

Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations are claims that some or all elements of the Apollo Moon landings were faked by NASA and possibly members of other involved organizations. Some groups and individuals have advanced alternate historical narratives which tend, to varying degrees, to state that the Apollo Astronauts did not land on the moon, and that NASA created and continues to perpetuate this hoax.

Calm down. I’m not talking about 9/11. I’m talking about Operation Northwoods. In the 60's US military leaders wanted to drum up public support for a war on Cuba. The defense secretary presented a paper called “Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba” that was full of a wide range of false flag suggestions. The plot included bombings in US cities, hijacking planes, and numerous other ways to scare the American people by murdering a few of them. The plans were approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but rejected by President Kennedy. The plan was never implemented, but the suggestion was kept secret for until documents entitled “Operation Northwoods” were declassified in 1997.

In 1990 a 15-year-old girl named Nayirah testified before Congress that she had seen Iraqi soldiers murder 300 Kuwaiti babies in a hospital. This was used to justify the 1991 Gulf War on humanitarian grounds. Although many people disputed the authenticity of her story at the time, and were maligned as conspiracy theorists. It turns out the girls testimony was orchestrated by the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton, with some money from the Kuwaiti royal family, and some acting lessons provided by the CIA. Nayirah was actually Nayirah al-Sabah, daughter of Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US. The events of her blubbery performance never actually occurred.

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."

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.

It’s called CoIntelPro (an acronym for Counter Intelligence Program). Between 1956 and 1971 the FBI conducted a series of covert, usually illegal, operations to investigate and disrupt political organizations in the US. According to FBI records, 85% of CoIntelPro resources were spent infiltrating, marginalizing, and subverting groups thought to be disruptive to the existing social and political order, such as communists, feminists, civil rights advocates, and anti war groups. The program targeted the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and the American Indian Movement. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover ordered FBI agents to “expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit, or otherwise neutralize” the activities of these movements and their leaders. Agents bugged phones, forged do

In August 1996 the San Jose Mercury News published “Dark Alliance”, a 20,000 word, three-part investigative series exposing that the CIA had bought crack cocaine from Nicaraguan drug smugglers and distributed it in Los Angeles during the 80's. The profits were used to fund the CIA-supported Nicaraguan Contras.

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.

On the surface, Denver International Airport seems like any other modern airport. It's new, it's clean, it's big, and it's modern. But some investigators have found more to it than meets the eye. Much more. Claims abound that Denver International was designed and built by the Illuminati as the headquarters for the global genocide that will trigger the New World Order.

In 1964 two American destroyers engaged three North Vietnamese torpedo boats in the Gulf of Tonkin. The result was sweeping public support for aggressive military action against North Vietnam. Congress then passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, granting authority to give military assistance to any Southeast Asian country threatened by communist aggression. In 2005, an internal NSA historical study was declassified which concluded that there was no North Vietnamese vessel present during the incident. The report stated “It is not simply that there is a different story as to what happened- it is that no attack happened that night…” The Golf of Tonkin incident never happened. The NSA deliberately distorted the intelligence reports that it had passed on to policymakers.
