When the Malaysian MH370 plane disappeared, speculations emerged that the aircraft had been abducted by aliens because no one could explain how such a huge plane could just go missing.

When a video surfaced of Stevie Wonder grabbing a microphone stand that had just toppled, music fans started to claim that Stevie isn’t blind. They also began questioning why he gets front seats at basketball games.

Then there have been rumors that North Korea is a utopia and is an example of how a society can be run efficiently when the population is under control. But propaganda claims that the place is a hell hole.

These are just three examples of conspiracy theories, but plenty others have been conceived; either to answer certain questions, to misinform, or to instill fear. A country like the United States has been consistently accused of perpetuating scandals that have given birth to several conspiracy theories. 911, the moon landing, and the capture of Osama Bin Laden, for example, have given birth to numerous theories that it is hard to believe what really happened.

One of the recent ones is that Seth Rich’s death was not a robbery gone wrong, but the work of either the DNC or the Clinton campaign. Rich was killed because he leaked emails to WikiLeaks and his murder was likely a message to other leakers. Let’s look at some of these theories, and others, in detail:

15. THE D.B COOPER HIJACKING WAS WELL PLANNED

Many claim D.B Cooper never jumped out; he probably hid somewhere and strolled out with the money.

Others argue that no such person existed and the story was made up by the crew who split the money among themselves. But if he existed, he was a member of the crew in disguise.

The argument is that the whole thing was a plot by the team to extort the money. They made D. B Cooper look like a suave and polite James Bond character who carried out his crime without hurting people. But plenty of evidence suggests that the crime had been planned prior.

The money that was found later in 1980, nine years later, was likely planted to reaffirm the story.

Some guys are confident D.B Cooper is still alive, and he is Tommy Wiseau: the eccentric and questionable writer.

14. GOOGLE IS BIG BROTHER

There is a strong belief that Google is owned by the American military but disguised as a private firm, and its intention is to control data in the future.

The way it suggests ads is just too suspicious, and its algorithm method remains a mystery. Google has a good number of apps that probably access your photos and spy on you. That is why your ad recommendations mostly feature things that you have talked about or used.

With high tech tracking features and advanced tech, it is possible that a company like Google is listening or tracking your phone to monitor what you are up to. But remember, this is a government monitoring your internet activity and phone conversations and can tap in anytime.

In fact, Snowden already confirmed this, but people are just too blind to see. This is probably the same way the U.S government manipulates Google, or other search engines, to hide leaked information that paints a bad picture on the U.S.

Facebook and apps also seem to be on the same mission.

13. MARILYN MONROE’S DEATH WAS ORCHESTRATED

It was either the secret service or the Kennedys. Her death was certainly not suicide. In fact, there are theories that she was murdered by the government because she knew too much (because of her friendship with JFK).

Her ex-husband, Arthur Miller, had been blacklisted though Monroe was still in contact with him. Probably, the government got nervous that she was sharing secrets between the White House and a prominent communist.

Some people claim that it is the Kennedys who finished her because they wanted to preserve JFK’s presidency. JFK had apparently refused to play to the rules of crime rings, and he was blackmailed with Monroe’s affair.

Others claim her death was as a result of a mistake between her doctor and her psychiatrist. Both had unknowingly given her a combined dosage that proved lethal, and after realizing their mistake, they made it appear as if she had committed suicide.

12. THE ASSASSINATION OF J.F.K WAS PERPETRATED BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only player in JFK’S assassination. But the plan was to put the blame on him.

There was no way Lee Harvey would have fired so many shots within seconds. He likely missed the first shot, but there was another shooter to complete the job. Oswald’s assassination was then carried out by the CIA to ensure he would not leak any information.

There’s another claim that one of Kennedy’s security guards may have killed him accidentally. Apparently, the secret service killed Kennedy while trying to return fire. However, Oswald was already guilty, and so they let him take the blame.

There is also a possibility that he was taken out by the Mafia. He had apparently refused to play to the game of the mafias.

11. THE UFO CONSPIRACY IS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY

Project Bluebook was a US government program where the military intentionally made ‘UFO sightings’ to appear as government cover ups. In reality, the sightings were of experimental aircraft like the SR-71 and F-117, and the military wanted to cover up their development.

The U.S government loves the idea of UFO and alien conspiracy because it is a way of showing the government’s might, while also misleading the public.

The government knows there is a portion of the population that will continuously hunt conspiracy theories, and the government actively engages such people with various stories about aliens, space, and wars. This keeps such people out of their hair for real and major secret programs.

The government doesn’t want people knowing what it is doing. This is why it has Area 51. It needs to test supersonic aircraft, and those weapons need to be as secretive as possible. The UFO sightings that people claim are probably the prototype of these advanced aircraft.

10. 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB

9/11 was a US sanctioned attack. It is either the government allowed radicals to carry out the attack, hired agents to fly the planes into the buildings, or demolished the buildings and used the planes to cover up.

The attacks on the Pentagon and Tower 7 were especially suspicious.

There was no way a plane could fly through steel beam buildings and melt the beams. The only way a building like tower 7 would collapse is if there was a systematic weakening of the steel grid.

And by the way, the day before, Donald Rumsfeld had gone live to report that 2.3 trillion dollars could not be accounted for. Then the next day, 9/11 happened, and the accounting department in the Pentagon was ruined.

There were claims that weeks before the attack, there had been suspicious movements in and out of the buildings of the World Trade Center. In addition, there had been multiple reports that small explosions could be heard on the morning of the attack. Building 7, for example, had been emptied in the morning of the assault.

9. UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHT 93 WAS SHOT DOWN

But if the government had no involvement in 9/11, then flight 93 was shot down by the U.S military to prevent it from crashing in a populated area. Or maybe it was part of the plan.

Flight 93 was headed to Washington D.C, but it crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers attempted to take over the plane from hijackers.

It is likely that the aircraft was destroyed by a missile from an F-16. The probable reason may have been because it was headed for Washington DC and was unresponsive to radio contact.

Three airplanes had already hit major U.S buildings, and the fourth plane was headed for the nation’s capital. The circumstances had created a short period of decision making, and the immediate solution was to shoot it down and make up a story about the heroism of those on board. Family members would then be comforted by the fact that their loved ones did not go down without a fight.

8. PERSONAL FINANCE IS NOT TAUGHT DELIBERATELY

This is because big business and governments depend on excessive consumer spending.

The government intentionally fails to provide financial training to youngsters so they can make poor decisions in the future. Governments and corporations want these people to live beyond their means and to borrow too much because it is great for the economy.

Sadly, the financial education that people get from schools come from companies and banks that benefit from their customer’s lack of understanding.

Corporations are happier when they can sustain the lower class with low wages. They have somehow managed to inflate the cost of higher education, and they have maintained a high turn-over to ensure no employee feels secure. This translates to employees doing more work for less pay.

Maybe this is why there is usually a lot of politicking on matters education. The elite are aware that they can control people who are poorly educated because the economic systems are not viable if everyone has the right education.

7. MICHAEL JORDAN WAS SUSPENDED FROM THE NBA, AND HIS MOVE TO BASEBALL WAS A COVER UP

Jordan had a gambling problem, and when he was busted, the NBA did not want to tarnish their image or his image; so they guised his suspension as a retirement.

Jordan was caught betting on games, which was in violation of NBA laws. The basketball league then figured that making the suspension public would smear the image of the game and one of its greatest participants. The NBA also knew that it was going to be a massive scandal.

Jordan was so competitive, and there was no way he would have retired when he was at the peak of his athleticism. He brought in money for the NBA and plenty of other institutions, and it was important that they keep his image intact so he could continue to make more money. Some people believe his dad was shot because of his gambling debts.

6. SOMETHING IS UP AT THE DENVER AIRPORT

The Denver airport is different from other airports in many ways.

First, an insane amount of money was used in building it, and it is not clear how the money was spent. This 35,000-acre airport was finished 16 months behind schedule and used up $4.8 billion.

Its runway looks like a swastika and is not typical of airport’s runways. In addition to its horrific paintings and disturbing artwork, the airport also has a dedication stone that has an imagery from a secret society.

Some people claim the Denver airport is connected to either freemason, Illuminati, or The New World Order. Others claim the airport has a mysterious network of underground bunkers to house the wealthy in case of an apocalypse.

The blue horse statue outside Denver airport, nicknamed “Blucifer” by conspiracy theorists, is believed to have killed its artist, Luis Jiménez after a piece of it fell on his leg and severed an artery.

There is another belief that there is a capstone beneath the airport that should be opened in 2094, so stay tuned.

5. APPLE DELIBERATELY SLOWS ITS OLD MODELS BEFORE NEW RELEASES

Apart from being suspected of being behind the jailbreak community, Apple also makes its devices slower and glitchier so customers can replace them with new ones. This happens each time they release a new OS update accompanied by new hardware.

This is apparently Apple’s strategy to ensure millions of people buy their iPhones. But the company had declined to comment on the issue.

This explains why iPhone consumers in the U.S spend so much money on new iPhones every two years (coincidentally, this is also the time most wireless contracts expire). In the days before new releases, the search term ‘iPhone slow’ spikes because millions consult Google to find out why their phones are slow.

This is probably the only way Apple can continue making money, and they cannot do so if consumers only buy an Apple product after three or five years. They will work on ways to make your phone slower then they will produce a new phone that promises better performance.

4. PRINCESS DIANA’S DEATH WAS PLANNED

Conspiracy theorists claim it was likely coordinated by the Royal Family.

There were suspicions that the former Princess of Wales may have been pregnant a few weeks before her death. Most probably, she was pregnant for Dodi Fayed, and the Royal family was not ready for a Muslim child.

As a matter of fact, there is an interview where she reveals that the Royals would never allow her to be queen, mostly because she used to do things differently.

Other things that raise eyebrows include the disappearance of the CCTV in the tunnel, moments before her ‘accident.’ Then how the wreckage was removed and the tunnel was swept and reopened for public use within two hours. Oh! And this is the time the CCTV started working again.

There are also claims that the Royal Family did not order for an autopsy. In fact, Princess Diana had apparently sent a letter to her butler letting him know that there was a plot to kill her so Prince Charles would marry his mistress.

The ‘operation’ was likely executed by MI5.

3. MAKERS OF ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE ARE ALSO THE MAKERS OF VIRUSES

Antivirus companies design the viruses for which you need their software to eliminate. They either make the malware themselves or hire people to do it for them. But antivirus companies have denied such allegations in the past.

Look at it; how can they protect you against a virus they don’t know about?

Sometime in 2010, a Chinese security official found himself in trouble after he was found guilty of involving himself in an antivirus software scheme. The man, referred to as Yu Bing, was a former director of a security department in Beijing and had been involved in sending out a virus warning that warned the public to download a particular software from a specific company.

It later emerged that this said company was responsible for writing the virus they were warning people about. The company had bribed Yu to do the ‘dirty’ work because it wanted to make profits.

This was just one example that came to light. What about the other cases that we never get to hear about?

2. THE DEATH OF DR. DAVID KELLY WAS FOUL PLAY

It was made to look like Dr. David Kelly committed suicide after exposing Tony Blair’s lies concerning Saddam’s weapons. Mr. Blair wanted to justify entering Iraq, and Dr. Kelly was a stumbling block.

Dr. Kelly had enough evidence to discredit Blair’s story about an imminent Iraqi WMD threat. Apparently, Kelly was aware that Saddam did not have WMD and he had shared this information with a reporter (from BBC). He later faced a parliamentary committee of the British government before was found dead two days later.

Then the public was made to believe that he had committed suicide. However, the photos of his body, the autopsy reports, and other critical investigative reports are secured by the Official Secrets Act.

A story was then conceived that he took away his life because he was facing pressure at work. The people around him doubted the story because it looked shady. Reports emerged that his body had been moved before the ambulance came and that there had been no traces of blood. Some witnesses also claimed a helicopter landed at the site just a few minutes after his body was discovered then left.

1. DONALD TRUMP NEVER WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT

Documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore, made this revelation in August of 2016 but no one took him seriously.

Apparently, his presidential bid was a publicity stunt that got out of hand. Trump began his campaign to gain leverage while discussing a deal with NBC. Moore claims that Trump was unhappy with what he was making from The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice, and he thought that running for president would give him all the attention he needed to prove to NBC that he was worth more.

However, his plan backfired.

But before that, he had launched his campaign with an infamous press conference that caused NBC to fire him. He then decided to stick with his plan to look more appealing to other television networks. Those in his circle, including him, knew he would not go beyond the primaries, let alone the nomination.

But his campaign blew up, and he became a media sensation. It seems some people were impressed with his inappropriate words. He then ended up being President of the United States of America.

There are also speculations that the Russians wanted him in that position because they are blackmailing him.
