Conspiracy Theories- 9/11

Everyone remembers 9/11 and the tragedy that struck New York. This was such a huge event that the whole world was affected in many different ways. People everywhere grieved for the victims and their families. The conspiracy theories of 9/11 have become one of the biggest to take place in this era.

There is overwhelming evidence that proves this terrible tragedy was the direct result of a conspiracy and that it was carefully planned and executed. No one can dispute these facts and they prove it was no accident. However, the conspiracy theories come from the question, who was the ones actually responsible for the attack? This is where different views begin to take shape and confusion sets in.

It’s known that Osama Bin Laden along with a group of Saudi hijackers made played a big role in the conspiracy, but who else was involved? According to these theories fingers are pointing to the former President Bush, Vice-President Cheney and some of the government’s top advisors.

These theories indicate that Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz either allowed these attacks to happen or they collaborated with Bin Laden to make it happen. Either way, this means that it was an inside job that could have been prevented. Having said that you have to ask the question, why would the government allow something this tragic to happen if it could have been prevented?

Conspiracy theorists actually have several answers to this question. For example, they believe that it was allowed to happen so the United States would have an excuse to go to war. This would justify the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, which in turn could help to increase the United States control over the oil resources of the Middle East. It’s also believed that it justifies the increased military spending and that it would restrict the domestic civil liberties.

Conspiracy theorist claim to have a list of inconsistencies that is said to prove their accusations are true. Some of these include the theory that the World Trade Center was not weakened by the fire but by the result of a controlled demolition. Some believe that instead of a plane hitting the pentagon it was a missile.

Many people choose to believe the conspiracy theories of 9/11 because they can’t believe that our nation was that vulnerable or that our government simply didn’t detect the plot in time to prevent it from happening. It’s important to know that for each one of the theories of conspiracy listed there is counter proof that it couldn’t have happened that way. At this point, it comes down to what the individual chooses to believe but one day there may be enough proof to settle it once and for all.

Conspiracy Theories- Roswell Crash Cover-Up

One of the most popular conspiracy theories of all time is the Roswell, New Mexico crash that many believe to be a cover up of an alien landing. One thing that all will agree upon is that something did indeed crash outside a remote ranch in Roswell, New Mexico back in 1947. What isn’t agreed upon is exactly what it was or where it came from.

The government first claimed that it was some type of saucer and then later retracted that statement, calling it a weather balloon. Of the evidence that has been found and released, it was neither a flying saucer nor a weather balloon.

Many people believe that it was a top secret military balloon called Project Mogul and that the alien theory was just a conspiracy to keep the real truth hidden. Eyewitness accounts and early photos of the crash site show evidence that looks to be like that of the Project Mogul balloon.

There was nothing to suggest that if aliens do exist, they had anything to do with the crash in New Mexico. However, the small city of Roswell jumped on the opportunity for fame as it brought a great deal of money into the area. It quickly became a tourist attraction bringing money into the area and feeding alien hunters everywhere, even today.

Many people believe that this is just what the conspirators wanted. If they can put the focus on aliens and flood the area with “crazies” looking for men in flying saucers, it would take all of the attention off the blunder that made their super secret project see the light of day.

Of course the government is not coming forward at all to admit to any of this so there is still no real solid proof that this is true. Other than eyewitness accounts, little proof of what really did happen there that day still exists. Most people who would have been there in person are growing too old now to remember or have already passed away.

There are some photos from the Roswell crash but many believe them to be cover up photos planted by the government in an attempt to hide the real truth about what happened there. When photos of possible alien bodies were released, many believed these were also fakes meant to cover up the real truth of what happened out there that day.

One thing that conspiracy theorists have not really been able to explain is that if the Roswell incident was a cover up, why would the government continue to lie about it today? Couldn’t they go ahead and let the cat out of the bag now that it was done to protect a secret mission? Will we ever know the truth about what happened in New Mexico that night?

 

Conspiracy Theories- Man on the Moon

When it comes to conspiracy theories, man on the moon is one of the biggest to hit the nation. There is no doubt that going to the moon is one of the biggest events in history so, why did it end up as a conspiracy theory? Conspiracy theories usually start due to some type of mistrust.

In the 70’s a movie came out in which NASA and American astronauts faked a landing on Mars. It was one of the things that started people asking questions and many began to wonder and even imply that maybe the moon landing was actually a fake as well. This movie was released in the post-Vietnam War and post-Watergate era when the public already had reasons to distrust the government. This made it easy for many of them to believe that the moon walk was all one big hoax.

By 2001 a program aired on Fox television called “Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?” and this got a lot of people stirred up all over again. This show, along with some books, offered the public proof that the landing was a fake in the form of discrepancies between photographs and the official version of the moon landing. There are even websites devoted to proving these accusations are true.

For this reason, conspiracy theories about the man on the moon landing of 1969 have surfaced stating it was all a hoax. The fact that there may be some evidence to support this theory has made it even more believable. A few of these are listed below.

  • There are some images that show the night sky without any stars.
  • Videos show the American Flag waving but there is not suppose to be air on the moon.
  • When viewing the footage the shadows of the astronauts appeared to be cast in several different directions even though the sun was the only light source.
  • Many of the images were unclear even thought the technology during that time could have provided clear images.
  • There were thousands of photographs taken without flaws even though the cameras were fitted to the chest of the astronauts so there was no viewfinder for them to look through. The pictures were taken by the body movement of the astronauts so there should have been some mistakes.

However, it’s important to note that there is a lot of evidence that points to this event being true as well. For example, the moon rocks that were studied by scientist all across the globe came from somewhere.

Dozens of astronauts have followed in the footsteps of those first ones to walk on the moon all those years ago. Plus, you simply have ask, why would NASA, the astronauts and the government fake something that would have such an impact on the world? What would they have to gain?

Eventually, technology will find a way to prove that man truly did walk on the moon in the sixties or it will prove that the conspiracy theories, man on the moon is a hoax, is actually the truth. Until that day, there will be a lot of speculation and the public will continue to keep their theories alive.

Conspiracy Theories- Jesse Ventura

Conspiracy theories have been around for ages and they will surely be a part of our future as well. These theories are interesting to say the least. They make you stop and think about the event in question. They have a way of making you re-examine the things you thought you already knew to determine if what you believed to be true, really is. Still, it’s hard to determine what is true and what’s false with all the accusations going around along with all the incomplete information.

That’s why Jesse Ventura along with a team of experts has set out on a mission to investigate some of the most intriguing conspiracies that exist today. They share their findings with the public on TruTV. Some of the most recent theories that’s went under investigation include the 9/11 tragedy, global warming and the belief that weapons are secretly being created by the government.

Perhaps one of the biggest conspiracies of today is taking place for an event that hasn’t even occurred yet. This would be the 2012 apocalyptic prophecies. It’s believed the world will face a major event that could be the end of life as we now know it and that the government knows that it’s coming. According to the theory, they’re preparing bunkers and places where an elite group of individuals can be saved while the rest of the nation will have to face the tragedy on their own and without any warning.

It would be difficult for the average person to gather the information needed to determine if conspiracy theories are real or not. It would take lots of time, research and funds to accomplish such a feat especially when it comes to some of the major events. Most people are so busy simply trying to survive from one day to the next they don’t have time to even think about it. These are the people who need someone like Ventura and his experts to discover the truth.

TruTV’s Conspiracy Theories with Jesse Ventura is based on real scientific proof. The information they gather will either prove or disprove these theories. Venture and his team of expert investigators examine these theories first hand. They look at all of the evidence and talk to eyewitnesses to learn as much about the different events as possible.

They follow leads and ask questions that no one else will ask. They face their challenges with open minds. Their goal is to find the truth regardless of what it might be so they can share this information with anyone who is interested in hearing the truth.
