Conspiracy Theories

Many people believe the government plays a role in many different tragic events that have happened in the United States. Some of the events include the Boston Bombing, 9/11, The John F. Kennedy shooting and many, many more. Many people say that there is a secret society that the government controls called illuminati. Those behind conspiracies, who are the most evil people on earth, are incredibly powerful and intelligent, but occasionally very, very stupid (Elinoff).

Conspiracy Theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy. People like to go overboard with fact and fiction. People make things up that they think makes since because they don't know what else to believe and skepticism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline(Elinoff), meaning that telling something you heard from someone that knows nothing about what actually happened.

The only way to the official storyline is if someone actually experienced the events that occurred. The biggest part of conspiracy theory is the fiction, fantasy or folklore(Dianna). That's how so many ideas pop up and people start to get scared and bring it upon our government because thats the people who are supposed to protect us, but people believe the government is actually trying to destroy us so we don't act out.

This is how people come up with the illuminati and they control everything from money to what happens daily. They some how tend to stay a secret but at the same time they are everywhere from our heros to our celebrities to our government, making them a secret society. Some even believe that these people are associated with the antichrist and worship him.

The Illuminati was found in 1776 (238 years old) and the constitution was written the same year and there have been many people that tried exposing them in the past such as Michael Jackson, 2Pac,

    I believe the government plotted the JFK assassination. Why would they do this? I do not know. I do know that the evidence proves the government did it. The special ops being shipped to the South Pole, the shot from the grassy knoll, and the change in the parade route is some of the evidence presented to the public, causing the reasons for conspiracy theories. The government used Lee Harvey Oswald as a scapegoat and for the United States public to blame it on.…

    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 role of the American government has always been to protect its people at all costs. Does that include lying to its people or covering up an event? And if they are doing such a thing, are they protecting their people or themselves? Conspiracy theorists constantly create alternative theories to what we are told to believe; some are completely outrageous, but for some theories, it is difficult to deny that there is possibly some amount of truth to them. As crazy as it might sound at first, many believe the government has covered up events ranging from the attack on 9/11 and the assassination of JFK, to the creation of LSD and HIV. Some theories are ridiculous and can be disproved in a heartbeat. Some theories are plausible and could possibly…

    Many of the Warren Commission supporters claim they can find no motive for why a conspiracy would have taken place, but in disagreement, the Warren Commission has never presented an actual motive for either killer. In fact, there are many reasons why powerful groups would have wanted to kill President Kennedy as mentioned throughout this report. More information that pertains to the assassination of JFK, which has been secured by the government and unavailable to the public, will someday be available for one to possibly research thoroughly. In fact that time will be in 2030 and the United States government is required to release all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination (Murphy, 2001.). If the entire government, spearheaded by the CIA killed Kennedy, then they would not ever acknowledge it. Many other popular theories present good logical reasoning for why a good government cover-up would be in order.…

    Recently I viewed the documentary "loose change" written and directed by Dylan Avery. This documentary claims that the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 tragedy where many lives were lost.

    September 11, 2001 is a time in U.S. history that everyone will remember, it holds a special place in almost every American’s heart, as well as the families in other countries who lost a loved one that day.

Different conspiracy theories have developed on the internet, and several websites claim to have legitimate cases regarding the validity of the “true” story. The true story, however, is one of pain and suffering that the citizens of America were put through.…

Not only is Sept. 11th the bloodiest terrorist attack in the history of the nation, several groups of people within our own country and abroad believe that knowledge of this attack was held prior to the actual event.
