Conspiracy theorists

Where No Man Has Gone Before “Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying” (A.C. Clarke, n.d.) Since the discovery of the greater universe, mankind has looked to the stars and wondered whether or not other forms of intelligent life were among them. Some say that humanity is alone in the cold void of outer space, claiming that other civilizations would have found Earth by now had they existed in the first place. Others believe that…

controversy that was completely fabricated. Yet, it grew exponentially due to the enabling habits of the American people. Pizzagate began in the midst of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. In 2016, attorney David Goldberg began to spread an outlandish conspiracy. Goldberg claimed that emails between Hillary Clinton and her aide, Huma Abedin, confirmed that Hillary was running a child sex slavery ring. The theory did not end there,…

In the year of fifteen-eighty-seven, a group of British settlers crossed the ocean in order to get to America and make it their new home. The leader of the colony, John White, returned to England to gather supplies. Whenever he returned, the colony had disappeared with nothing left except the word “croatoan” carved into a tree. What happened to the people of Roanoke Island? How could an entire colony of people just vanish? Experts are still trying to solve this unexplained mystery today. In the…

In one episode, My Struggle, I saw tension. I didn’t find it entertaining (arguments I found cute when the characters were thirty are not so cute when they’re pushing sixty), but it was there. The canon here needs clarification. As has been repeated ad nauseam, their breakup and reconciliation (especially reconciliation) do not make sense. Their reason for returning to the FBI and staying there does not make sense. The timeline in which all this takes place does not make sense. Trading in nine…

The conflict between the United States and the Middle East has been waging for more than a decade. America has found a new types of criminal activity throughout this time; specifically combatting terrorism. This situation is not as simple as it has been in the past, where people would single out a specific demographic of individuals and categorize them as the “enemy”. However, we can currently see U.S. citizens stereotyping Muslim-Americans throughout our daily lives, ignorantly muttering broken…

Kautilya argued that national sovereignty was essential to prosperity since a foreign ruler would be interested only in enriching himself. Then, he reasoned that prosperity was essential to guarding sovereignty since a poor nation would not have adequate resources to provide for strong national security. He understood that if a country focused either only on prosperity or only on national security, could lose both, that is, he understood the inter-dependence of prosperity and security. Also,…

Void There are 365 days in a year. There are only 365 days in a year. There will only ever be 365 days in a year. Every time I try to rephrase a sentence it gets progressively more severe; how do I sound less eccentric, how do I tell people what I mean without rambling? I believe that if I get my point across it doesn’t matter in what time frame, if it takes me a year and a half to tell you about the time my dog ran across the road and almost got hit by a car, then it does. No matter how I…

According to ushistory.org, America’s 1776 Declaration of Independence stated that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights” (2014). For many seeking to gain freedom, overcome oppression, and achieve the American dream, this country has been a place of refuge. It is currently the year 2015, however, and it seems that many Americans have begun to question the American dream. Most question…

Ring Around the Rosie and The Black Plague In the 14th century, a terrible plague also known as the Bubonic plague struck Europe in 1347, killing over a million people. There is a strange conspiracy theory about the relations between the nursery rhyme “Ring Around the Rosie” and the Black Death. These theories have been reported related to each other because of the lyrics of the song, and the symptoms in the disease. With that being said, I believe that the nursery rhyme has very little to do…

Some have argued in favor of it being legal, and some have argued against it being legal. Over the past five years, we have seen numerous state and local debates about whether or not it should be legal, and few heated debates over it. Presently, it is one of top issues and hot topic on United States national policy. Now, I am sure that you have already figured out what I am talking about. Yes, you are correct! Marijuana it is! Marijuana is and will continue to be a hot topic for many. I chose to…
