May 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There are many people who are addicted to conspiracy theories but how do these theories get started? Basically, it all begins with some type of event that occurs and they normally revolve around someone famous or some well-known place or thing. When these events occur, someone will comment on it and insinuate that there is some type of conspiracy going on.

Perhaps the event made such an impact on then that they simply can’t believe it actually happened. They begin thinking of other reasons that could have caused the event to take place instead of looking at the obvious or believing what they are told. Before you know it, rumors spread and people everywhere are referring to the event as a conspiracy.

Some people seem to seek out conspiracies. In a way, they seem to live for them always searching for another major event they can add to the already long list of conspiracy. This is why some people are said to be addicted to Conspiracy theories.

What Makes a Conspiracy Theory?

In order for an event to be classified as conspiracy theories it needs to be something that captures the attention of lots of people. It has to be a subject that stirs up the emotions of the people and something they have a passion for. It can be something that stirs up feelings of love, hate, sadness or happiness.
A conspiracy theory can evolve from any type of event. For example, many theories evolved from the 911 tragedy. This was something that touched the hearts of millions all over the globe not just in the United States. It was such a traumatic event that it was difficult for many people to believe it actually happened. Someone accused the government (mainly the president) of being behind the whole thing and causing it happen. Some speculated there were bombs planted and before you knew it, there were several conspiracy theories making their way across the globe.

Anything can become a conspiracy theory as long as it’s something that gets the attention of lots of people. It can be a new virus that strikes without warning. People automatically wonder if it occurred because someone or some secret group released it into the air in hopes of reducing the population on earth.
Even global warming is not immune to becoming a conspiracy because many people believe that it’s not really true and that scientist simply manipulated the results of the studies to make it appear as if the earth is warming up.

Conclusion
People who are addicted to conspiracy theories don’t need a logical reason for these acts. In other words, they don’t ask the question why would someone release deadly viruses and manipulate studies. They believe there are people who would do these things in an attempt to change the world to suit them personally, no matter how dramatic the event may be. As long as there are people on this planet and big events occur, you can rest assured there will always be conspiracy theories around.

Conspiracy theories normally surround some huge event that gets the attention of people all over the globe. The event has to be something of importance that touches the heart of the people and stirs up some type of emotions. These events normally revolve around some kind of historical, social or political event. The perpetrator who caused the event is usually someone with lots of power or some secret organization.

When something traumatic happens, many people find it difficult to deal with it or they just can’t believe it happened randomly. For this reason, many people come up with theories about the event that helps them to understand it better. Many times the conspiracy theory is dismissed and associated with paranoia and in some cases they are said to be urban legends. In other cases, the theories tend to generate lots of attention and continue to spread all over the globe and throughout generations. Some of the top conspiracy theories are listed below:

1.     The Assassination of JFK – There are many people who still have a lot of questions about the death of our 35th president John F. Kennedy. They want to know if Lee Harvey Oswald is truly the one who killed JFK and if so, was he acting on his own or did he work for someone else like the CIA or FBI?

2.     The 9/11 Disaster – There are many who believe the events that took place on 9/11 are the results of one big conspiracy. When a close look is taken at the event it’s obvious that someone did conspire to make the attacks happen. Someone carefully planned out the tragedy and executed their plan but the question is who was behind the event? The conspiracy theory surrounding the tragedy points to government officials, even President Bush and Vice-President Cheney are believed to have a part in the event. It seems that it’s easier for many people to believe that our government was involved than it is for them to believe they didn’t know ahead of time and couldn’t stop the tragedy from happening.

3.     Apollo Moon Landing: Man Walks on Moon – There are many questions revolving around the Apollo mission to the moon. The conspiracy theories surrounding this event are based off of discrepancies found between the official version of the event and photographs of the moon landing that were released.

4.     Global Warming – The theories surrounding global warming claim that the results of the studies provided for the public are false. It’s believed it’s all a big hoax to trick the public into making changes for other reasons they don’t want to make known.

5.     The AIDS/HIV Virus – The original theory is that AIDS was transferred to humans from monkeys in the 1930’s. However, the conspiracy theory states that the virus was man-made and that the CIA or some other form of government created it. The reasons for creating it vary. Some believe it was a bio-weapon that simply got out of control while others believe it was made to target both African-Americans and homosexuals.

As you can see, nothing is above being part of a conspiracy. These are the 5 top conspiracy theories that are well-known.

Conspiracy Theories- Health and Nutrition

May 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

More and more people are thinking about their health and nutrition these days. When it comes to conspiracy theories, you hear about them with the government, UFOs and even the credit crisis but did you know that some people are also calling the health and nutrition fad another conspiracy theory?

Just think about it for a minute. How many commercials for prescription medications do you see on a regular basis? How often do we see big pharmaceutical companies trying to peddle us meds that we don’t need?

Even worse is that every medication has a side-effect that then requires additional medications to help you with those side effects. It’s a never ending cycle that means more money in their pockets.

Every time you turn around there is another condition or another problem that needs to be resolved with medications. This all happens while the government sites back and watches and sees nothing wrong with this.

The average person can spend thousands by the time they reach their retirement years on prescription bills alone. This is amazing when you think about it. We are taking pills and then taking pills for our pills.

Another aspect of this that can be added to the conspiracy theory list is in relation to nutrition and agriculture. Our bodies are just not getting the nutrients they need anymore because we eat so much chemically processed foods. Even our agricultural goods are treated these days so we’re not getting fresh foods anymore.

Because we are not eating as healthy as we once did, we have to take supplements and vitamins to help us replenish these nutrients that were are not getting. While you may need to supplement your own diet with vitamins, you may not know that most people get the idea to take vitamins and which vitamins to take from the television. Commercials tell us to ask our doctors about prescriptions and also tell us we need all sorts of over the counter medications and supplements. Some might call it an epidemic as more and more people become addicted to these things.

It’s no wonder some believe this might be another conspiracy theory. As this epidemic spreads the nation and even the world, all we see is more and more companies using it to make a buck. Now it seems that everyone has something to help you be healthier, smarter, stronger or thinner.

If you can dream it up, there is a product for it. Many people believe this is why the health and nutrition industry is just another conspiracy theory.
