David Icke and the Reptiles

One of the most influential conspiracy theorists in the modern day is David Icke, an English writer  and public speaker who has acted as a professional conspiracy theorist since the 1990s. Theories including the New Age conspiracism and predictions of the end of the world originated from David Icke, the potentially most notable being that of the Archons. According to David Icke, the Archons, also known as the Babylonian Bortherhood, the Illuminati, or simply the elite,  occupy all significant positions of power, at least in the western world. He believes that the reptilian race have infiltrated and ‘hijacked’ the earth in order to feed on the negative energy created by keeping humans in fear. Of course, in order to do this the reptilians have created a genetically modified hybrid race of shapeshifters, in order to look like us. How true could his claims be? Unless, we are all just in denial, as David proclaims.

The ice bucket challenge was really a Satanic ritual

It is believed that the pouring of ice water over the human body is a ritual of purification cleansing for what is considered to be the largest human sacrifice in human history.

There are many cases of fatal events occuring after ALS ice bucket donations. For example, Corey Griffin died when he left a very successful ALS fundraiser and "dove off a building at Straight Wharf in Nantucket on August 16th and drowned. People relate the pouring of ice water over the body to the Christian ritual of baptism, stating it is 'a cultic ritual stemming from the dark'.

This challenge was originally initiated to raise funds towards a foundation of health but has created this conspiracy theory referring it to a satanic ritual.

Aliens, welcome.

Many conspiracists believe that the Government are suppressing information and evidence of extra-terrestrial unidentified flying objects and alien visits. What if the Government of the United States are in communication, cooperation and maybe even in control of extra terrestrial objects. There are some conspiracists that believe that Area 51 which is a highly classified United States Air Force facility has remains of UFOs and the US government is using them to their own advantage. It is conspired that there is proof of alien life covered up by the US FBI agents, The Sunspot Solar Observatory is a designated area to spend time looking at the sun and outer space. This area has been banned from doing so, since federal agents secretly arrived and shut down the area with no explanation whatsoever. What has the government been up to and why so secretive?

Big Pharma or Big Government Lie?

Big Pharma creates the idea that pharmaceutical companies, government health agencies, cancer charities and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) figured out the cure for cancer, but are restraining the information and not making the medicine available to cancer patients because they make so much more money for treating the disease or fundraising for it. What if scientific researchers and government agencies are responsible and allowing for more than 8 million people worldwide to die each year, just for the profit. If this conspiracy was true, this would be nothing short of medical genocide. A comment from Zuvrick writes “So we find a cure, it had probably happened multiple times, but nobody wants to cure cancer. Too many researchers earn a living seeking a cure by remaining inside a narrow, restricted channel of dogma. Their institutions get grant money and survive from the funding.” A survey was conducted by Ted Gansler in 2002 about the conspiracies of cancer, asking 1,000 Americans if they believed the government had a hidden cure, it was reported that 27.3% believed the myth and 14.3% were uncertain.  Could this selfish worldwide act really be true but then again, how evil could this world really be?

The Concave Earth Theory

Building on the Hollow-Earth theory, the 'concave' Hollow-Earth hypothesis (or "skycentrism") employs the same ideas but includes the notion that humans live on the inside of the globe rather than the outside. By this theory, the universe is at the very centre on the planet with what we know as our planet towards the outer sphere.

According to Rodney Cluff (www.ourhollowearth.com), there have been a number of eyewitness accounts proving the existence of the hollow earth. Additonally, Cluff describes ‘Our Hollow Earth’ as a terrestrial paradise, where notably the original Garden of Eden and Heaven are both located. Germans, flying saucers, impossibly old people and lost Viking colonies are all included too. However, as with the original Hollow-Earth theory, no conclusive evidence currently exists to support this conspiracy theory.

The Missing Files of Nikola Tesla

Serbian genius Nikola Tesla invented the AC induction motor used in all electrical devices and held 700 patents in such pioneering technology as radio communications, x-rays and wireless energy transmission.

On July 11^th, 1934, Tesla announces his invention of a teleforce weapon or death ray. He says it can melt plane engines 250 miles away and destroy entire infantry battalions. He also says he’s invented a high frequency transmitter which can alter the ionosphere and control weather.
Come January the 7^th, 1943, Tesla dies alone in the New Yorker Hotel. All his personal papers and belongings are seized and microfilmed by men calling themselves federal agents.

For 37 years, whenever public requests for Teslas files are made the FBI denies it has any knowledge of their whereabouts. Military intelligence and The Library of Congress also deny ever holding Telsa’s files.

In 1989, the FBI declassifies the last pages of its Tesla file. It reveals that Nikola Tesla contacted the U.S. Department of War a day before his death. It also reveals that the FBI asked the Office of Alien Property to seize all of Tesla’s belongings despite the fact that it had no authority to do so.

Tesla’s belongings were given to his Yugoslavian nephew and shipped to Belgrade in 1952.

In 1990, The U.S. government starts research project HAARP. It Is based on Tesla’s weather control designs.

The Moon Landing Conspiracy

On May 25^th, 1961 JFK pledges to put an American on the moon by 1970. By July 20^th, 1969, Apollos 11’s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Alorin had set foot on the moon. By 1972 five more landings followed with NASA releasing photos and footage from each mission.

Technical writer Bill Kaysing, with access to Apollo program documents claims the moon landings were faked. His claim posits that NASA fell shy of the technical expertise required to complete such a mission.

He points out that photos retrieved from the mission lack stars and states that there had to be blast craters from the Apollo lunar module. He also draws attention to the billowed flags as there is no wind on the moon.

Milton Cooper maintains that the landings were studio hoaxes and identifies lettered props.

Journalist Marcus Allen argues that the first landings were staged in order to meet JFKs deadline and win the Cold War’s space race.

Amongst the science community there are claims that the Van Allen belt would not make it possible to travel to space due to lethal radiation levels.  However, Van Allen himself says the crafts hulls protect crews from radiation.

NASA says the figured props are just flaws in reproduction photos and flags did not move but had folds from storage. They also say the moon’s surface is solid rock and cannot be dented by thrusters.

Armstrong and Alorin have always affirmed the landings.

On another note, Soviet Russia never denied NASA’s landing and acknowledge America’s victory in the space race.

Original Apollo 11 films have been wiped. No one has officially been to the moon since 1972. Officially…

The Hollow-Earth Theory

Building upon Nadia’s previous post regarding the flat earth conspiracy theory, we will now look at the Hollow-Earth Theory. This pertains to the idea that there is another world residing just underneath the surface of the Earth’s crust, with entrances at both the North and South poles.

Modern science maintains that the earth is comprised of various layers, while of different viscosity, as a solid object. This would make sense in theory, right? Not everyone is convinced. Though its roots date back to Ancient Greece, the ‘modern’ Hollow-Earth conspiracy theory originated in the 17th century from some prominent scientists of the time. This theory has persevered through much scrutiny over the course of its history and still exists in the modern day. We will visit the Hollow-Earth conspiracy, and the subsequent Concave Hollow-Earth theory, in the next blog post.

Melania trump has a doppelganger who follows the president around on official business

-        
     There have been numerous claims that Melania Trump lives in another household other than the Whitehouse and that another lady disguised as her is the one who accompanies Donald Trump on his official business meetings, conferences and flights. This conspiracy theory has been whirling around society since images were posted of the first lady where she looked different as she wore big sunglasses and had long hair, indicating a theory that it is a wig and it isn’t the Melania Trump. Her nose also looked altered and therefore this theory further grew and got people wondering who this mystery woman is.
     
      Her height was also commented on being different as it changes in the images in comparison to the videos produced.

9/11: Conspiracy or not?

Imagine the world being so peaceful that no one could think that the American government would be capable of masterminding the most horrific day in American history, 9/11. On the 11^th of September 2001, the government claims 19 hijackers united to takeover four aeroplanes, two were driven into the World Trade Centers otherwise known as the Twin Towers in New York City, third plane drove into the Pentagon which was the headquarters for the US Department of Defense. Nearly 3,000 people died from the attacks, it is believed that the fourth plane was targeted to hit the White House, but was diverted. It is known as one of the deadliest attacks on the US, New York Times called it “worst and most audacious terror attack in American history”. Many conspiracists believe the several attacks were government related, a reporter who was inside the North tower publicly reported saying, “I heard a second explosion and then a fire marshal came in and said we had to leave, because if there was a third explosion this building might not last”. This tell us as conspiracists that there could have possibly been an explosion internally inside the building, along with the plane attack, limited access to the building tells us that the government would have been needed to make this happen. Some witnesses told a reliable source, saying they heard explosions inside the building as they attempted to escape. Scientists and architects showed that jet fuel cannot produce enough heat to melt steel frame from two buildings, it is physically impossible. Maybe president at the time, George Bush administration had advanced knowledge of the attacks and allowed it to happen to advance their agenda. Think about it.

Princess Diana's death

There are numerous claims that the death of Princess Diana's death which was felt around the whole world was an inside job by the Royal Family. Princess Diana's death was a shock to the world as it was sudden and highly unexpected. Some people believe that something more secretive and intentional happened that night, the Royals helped orchestrate the night of fatal car crash.  The theory states that Diana was pregnant with Mohamed al-Fayed, her new boyfriend after marrying and divorcing Prince Charles and that news was not acceptable in accordance to the Royal family so they plotted this fatal accident to kill her and her boyfriend off. This theory is supported with many different points of evidence. The main point is the fact that she actually survived the crush and was responsive but the ambulance took 4 hours to arrive at the hospital where she died upon arrival. The hospital is claimed to only be 10 minutes. This claim has created this major speculation that the Royal family planned this and it was intentional.


A few days before her death, Diana made mysterious comments about "a big surprise" which was believed to be her pregnancy. It is also believed that Diana being pregnant wasn't the only reasoning to kill her, it was also so that if she dies, Prince Charles can re marry. This was actually claimed through a note that was found written by Diana where she clearly states that "They're planning an accident in my car so Charles can re marry". It is for this reason that the conspiracy theory was widely spread and has been a major topic of discussion amongst people around the world.

Did The Titanic Really Sink?

April 15^th, 1912, for what was known then as the largest vessel in the world, the RMS Titanic, descended into the depths of the North Atlantic. Of the 2,224 boarding the Titanic, 1,514 share the same fate of that of the Titanic. 
The idea of Titanic was initially conceived by J.P. Morgan in 1907. Under his authority, the Titanic was set for construction through the supervision of White Star Line. At the time, Olympic, a near replica of the Titanic had been built first.

On September 20^th, 1911, under Captain Smith, the Olympic collided with a warship taking large blows resulting in holes and significant structural damage below the waterline.

 After an inquiry, it had been ascertained that Olympic was to be held accountable for the collision, and insurers refused to cover the reparation fees. It was a commercial calamity for White Star Line.

 On the February of 1912, Olympic undergoes repair in dry dock next to the Titanic after suffering propeller damages.  2 months later the Titanic sets for her first and final voyage.

However, according to writer Robin Gardiner he claims it had not been the Titanic that had sunk.

His claim has it that passenger accounts and photographic evidence indicate a design that is not consistent with the Titanic. He believes they had been switched in dry dock and the Olympic was in fact the ship that scuttled to the bottom of the Atlantic, making this the biggest insurance scandal in history. He says the tragedy that had occurred was not intended, and was merely a poor attempt in salvaging a troubled investment. However, historians argue that the damage that had been inflicted on the Olympic was insufficient for it to be classified commercially unviable as a passenger ship. Robin Gardiner argues that the official records were easily doctored by a man as powerful as J.P. Morgan.

Simulation Theory: Is Reality And Life As We Know It Merely A Simulation?

First of all, before we get into this theory we must first define and clarify what a simulation is. A computer creates a simulation and its main objective is to be as real as possible, break the barrier between reality and virtual reality for the purpose of study. So the theory is that way, way, way into the future, people were curious and wanted to see what life in the past was like. Since their technology is so much more advanced than ours they were able to replicate or ‘simulate’ a life that imitates ours completely. One of the smartest and most successful men in the world Elon Musk believes that this theory is real; he wholeheartedly believes that there is a 1 in a billion chance that we as civilisation are NOT in a simulation.

46 years ago, we made the first video game PONG ever made; this game consisted of just 2 simple rectangles and a dot. Skip 50 years into the future and here we have photo realistic 3D games, millions of people playing at a time and only gets better and better every year. With this advance in technology in the gaming world it wouldn’t be inconceivable to think that 50 years into the future that technology like this would be available for us. Furthermore, things that we can’t explain in life like; ghosts, astral projection, psychics and déjà vu are all just glitches in the simulation. Scientists have tried to figure out déjà vu for years and have still gotten nowhere near to figuring it out, again it can not be inconceivable to think that maybe it is a glitch. If you think about it, almost every video game glitches, like in The Sims the sims may get stuck in walls or in Call Of Duty the players keep running into walls or freezing, it’s almost impossible for you to create a game and not have a glitch somewhere within the game.

Flat-Earth Conspiracy Theory

The foundation of this theory begins with NASA, the moon landing in particular, as some believe it to be simulated or fabricated by the government. All the images we get from space all come from NASA so if the moon landing were fake, would it really be that preposterous to think that the rest of the things NASA has provided for us is fake? The next thing you must take into consideration in relation to the Flat-Earth Theory is religion, in the bible it states that in the world we live in there is the sea, the sky and the firmament. The firmament is a dome above the earth; the heavens lay above the firmament, furthermore the bible also mentions that the earth expands to its ‘four corners’. Simply, the flat-earth conspiracy is that we are not on a sphere we are simply on a plane (also where the word “planet” seems to have a hidden message, just “plane” but with a ‘t’­) and Antarctica surrounds us in an ice wall.  The main reason why Flat-Earth advocates believe that Antarctica surrounds the earth so whole heartedly is because in the late 1950’s there was a treaty signed by almost all the major countries of power to not let anyone go into Antarctica. So if you wanted to explore deep into Antarctica you are not permitted to, you may however go on small monitored explorations in Antarctica but never without a whole bunch of people watching you. Another reason to believe that Antarctica surrounds us with its ice wall is that airplanes never fly over Antarctica; they always make a strange detour around it.  The Flat-Earth conspiracy theory no matter how hard to believe and ridiculous it sounds, after reading into it with an open mind it is quite interesting to think about. It all really makes sense if you believe in the Simulation Theory as well, which will be discussed in the next blog post.
