I love wild conspiracy theories but which of them have a grain of truth in them? The following are some outrageous theories that a lot of people believe are true.
The Moon is a Hologram
I am really happy today because I just discovered a favourite new conspiracy theory. I had no idea until about an hour ago that some nuts actually believe that the Moon we can see doesn’t exist. So what is that big round thing up in the sky? Why it’s a hologram, of course. There’s even a YouTube video out there that might or might not convince you that the Moon is a hologram. The big question now is why anyone would go to such trouble to project this giant hologram. Is it that there is something strange going on in the real Moon that the world’s powers want to hide from us?
Denver Airport is the Centre of All Evil in the Universe (or something)
This is one wild conspiracy theory I’ve never really understood. Are we supposed to believe that below the highly transited Denver International Airport there is some sort of massive complex of evilness and rotten things? Some people believe that it has to do with the New World Order and a FEMA death camp. Hang on though; wouldn’t they have built their secret complex somewhere where it would attract less attention? Also, having giant murals and symbols telling us that this is a centre of evil probably wasn’t a great idea if they wanted to keep it a secret, which I guess they would want to.
Fluoride in Tap Water
Why do the Governments of the world add fluoride to our water? As far as I can tell that there are two possible answers to this simple question. The straightforward one is that it improves dental hygiene. The frankly bonkers conspiracy theory is that it is done to dumb down the population. This means that we will be easier to control and will spend our money on new iPhones, funny clothes and Kanye West CDs instead of buying guns to start a revolution. Incredibly, it has been reported that 1 out of every 10 Americans believe that fluoride is added to their water for something other than their dental health.
Poisonous Snow in Atlanta
You have probably enjoyed watching someone from Atlanta trying to burn snow at some point. I know I have. When a couple of inches of snow fell in the area a while back it sparked an incredible conspiracy theory. Our good friends in and around Georgia set about piles of snow with matches, with lighters and with rather frightening blowtorches. It doesn’t melt, they screamed. They tried to zombify us with fluoridated water and now they are sending us poisonous stuff that looks like snow but doesn’t melt. By the way, that Moon up there probably isn’t even real. Look up chemical snow on Mr Google’s handy service if you want to find out why it looked as though the snow wasn’t burning.
The Missing Centuries
These wild conspiracy theories are great, aren’t they? I’ll try and do a follow up post with some more in a few years time. Maybe in, say, 1720. What? That’s right, didn’t you realise that we currently live in the early 18th century? An utterly mad chap called Heribert Illig came up with the theory that the period from 614 to 911 AD never actually happened. He believed this because of things such as the lack of archaeological evidence from those 3 centuries. His crazy conspiracy theory was that the Pope, The Holy Roman Emperor or maybe someone else made up those centuries, forged documents and invented the likes of Charlemagne. It’s called the Phantom Time Hypothesis and astronomical studies have helped debunk it.
