Conspiracy theorists

From 1933 to 1948 Newfoundlanders were faced with the possibility of joining the Confederation of Canada. Some historians speculate that Newfoundland was coerced into joining Canada by both Britain and Canada itself because of the financial issues that Newfoundland was facing at the time. Newfoundlanders were concerned about religion, education, and their children. Some Newfoundlanders were debating whether Britain could legally force them to join the Confederation. Newfoundlanders had both…

Dear State Representatives and other supporters of the Common Core Standards, It was not until my junior year of high school that I had recognized the severe impact of your new standards on our education system. Initially, I had only thought a new standardized test was being introduced-- that the school district was simply transitioning into a new form of standardized testing. The reality was, however, that the traditional methods of teaching that have been applied to education systems all over…

president, Andrew Johnson, had teamed up with John Wilkes Booth to create a plan to kill Lincoln. Booth was said to have stopped by Johnson’s hotel, leaving a note asking if he was home, on the afternoon of the planned assassination (A Vice Presidential Conspiracy), which was very suspicious. The odds of a vice president plotting to kill the president, so they (the vice president) could take their place, is very high. Even Mary Todd Lincoln believed that Johnson was involved also. She had…

The world we live in has evolved to believe that everything is not as it seems, believing that the government is against us and is hiding information from the world. Many people believe that the government has designed our media to desensitize us to the horrors of our world. It is believed that through media, such as films and television, the government is using the art of Predictive Programming, though it is all theory and speculation. Alan Watt, the man who developed the theory explains,…

Harper Lee in To Kill a Mockingbird said the profound statement, “A mob 's always made up of people, no matter what (Lee, 1960).” Harper Lee shows the power of a group of people. It is interesting to think that there would never be trends, mobs, or a government. If one person has an idea and others want to follow a group, a mob, a government, a belief, or a trend will be started. Every individual idea formed -benevolent or abominable- has started an entity whether it be a revolution,…

with both ancient wisdom and modern Enlightenment science and reason, and its relatively exclusive membership (applicants must ask to join and are then vetted and voted upon), the Masonic brotherhood has proved almost tailor-made for weavers of conspiracy theories or opportunistic authors eager to make a buck by imaginatively "exposing" the secret ways and even more…

“Carry out a random act of kindness with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” These are the famous words of Princess Diana. People loved and were influenced by Diana. She was a public icon throughout the globe. However, there is one thing that is still strange about this famous figure. Diana’s death is to this day a major point of questioning as the two most common suspicions are a major power murder and an unfortunate car crash. Even…

prove the opposite of Hart. People debating were either curious about the mysterious Shakespeare or loyal Shakespeare supporters and wanted to prove his innocence at all costs. This argument turned into a true conspiracy theory: Shakespeare couldn’t have written his plays. Even though the conspiracy focuses on how Shakespeare didn’t write his plays and let’s look at the fact that there was barely any evidence of his existence: a few signatures, record of his marriage, and his will, among more…

election’s hanging-chad fiasco. President Trump has cried fraud in his obsession with undermining the fact that Hillary Clinton proved more popular in the total vote. He is citing as an authority the ruminations of a discredited right-wing conspiracy theorist. Offering no real evidence, he has called for a sweeping federal inquiry into his suspicions, to be led by Vice President Mike…
