"Who Did What" Conspiracy Theories

A conspiracy theory by definition is a theory that explains an event as being the result of a plot by a covert group or organization; a belief that a particular unexplained event was caused by such a group. To conspire means “to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.” The term “conspiracy theory” is frequently used in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from “the people”. So how did the term “conspiracy theory” get grouped in with fiction, fantasy and folklore? Maybe that’s a conspiracy, just kidding. Or am I?

Things like Men in Black, Mind control, and The 1969 Moon Landing; are they real or fiction? I am going to share a little bit of information that might make you think twice about this topics and more, a lot more.
Technology has always been used to generate, spread, and sustain conspiracy theories. Look back at the 1969 moon landing. That was a historical day. Not just landing on the moon but walking on another planet. Well, conspiracy theorists believe the moon landing was used to make the Russians believe that we were smarter and more technology advanced than they are. The website www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html asks a lot of good questions, questions even today that have not been answered. It is said the government used modern technology to make it look like an actual landing. Was it a HOAX or Memorex, you decide.

Other modern technologies like the internet are used in the spread news, rumors, and conspiracy theories fast as lightning. When the Russian subways were bombed during morning commute I saw it on the internet three hours before I saw it on the news. If our banks, leaders, or the President wanted to cover up or miss lead us, for their gain the easiest way to get information out fast is threw the internet.

Another for instance, E Howard Hunt (CIA Agent) confessed to being involved in the conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy on his deathbed. Who heard of this, Why is in not in the history books. This is the government using technology to sustain a conspiracy theory the other way. By allowing people to think what may be the truth, information given to us by a person who talks about conspiracy theories a lot, and the government not saying a word. They have figured out in some cases if the truth is bad and they want to look good let the other guy spill the beans and you stand back and say “are you going to believe them or your government”. Some people believe what you tell them and others believe what they see, even if it isn’t real.
