Culture Commentary



New World Order? The Illuminati? Anthrax? Conspiracy Theories are at the forefront of American Culture. They are inspiration for screenplays, novels, and YouTube content. Like anyone else, I have a keen yet genuine interest in Conspiracy Theories because they reveal what people do and don’t believe. These theories expose human nature and interests. I’m always fascinated to discover what people perceive as truth. Some devotees have sacrificed their livelihood just to prove that what they believe is real. They want you to be woke to what they know. Some theories though aren’t just theories. I say take everything with a grain of salt and take everything to prayer. But without further or do, I want to share some of the Conspiracy Theories that have blown my mind and left me baffled. Some of them may be familiar to you while some of them may be obscure, but either way I hope you will be intrigued to do your own investigative research to know the truth for yourself.

 

9/11

Was it Al-Qaeda? Or was it our own government? Were the passengers and crew abroad the airplanes in on it or were they manipulated to go along with a charade? Personally I don’t buy the 9/11 Commission Report. There are a lot of questions that weren’t answered. I do believe that innocent people died and that this was a tragically horrific event. Were the planes real or were they holograms? I’ve heard from a 9/11 Truther that the planes that supposedly crashed into the Twin Towers are still in use to this day! I don’t believe that a plane crashed into the Pentagon and I certainly don’t believe that a plane crashed in Shanksville, PA. Also there is the finding of the supposed “terrorists” passports that were found in the debris at Ground Zero. They were found completely intact; not even torn up as if someone conveniently dropped it there while passing by. This has to be thee number Conspiracy that exists because there are so many questions and discoveries. At first we all believed the media because we were so shocked. It seemed like the beginning of the end. Something so devastating couldn’t possibly happen in America, right? But after the dust settles (literally in this case) you begin to connect the dots and do your own research. Then you start to see that things aren’t as they seem. Will we ever know the truth about what happened that day?

Moon Landing



This is the Conspiracy Theory that baffles me the most! I’m caught in the middle. I have no idea whether this actually happened or if it was filmed in a studio by Stanley Kubrick (Director of “2001: Space Odyssey”). I have heard that the reason Neil Armstrong never did an interview after returning from the Moon was because he was shook by what he saw (i.e aliens). I’ve also heard that there is a radioactive belt (Van Allen Radiation Belt) around the Earth and that if it were to be penetrated, you would essentially die instantly. Yet, I recently came across a video on how astronauts are able to safely navigate through this same radioactive belt. Directors have tried to prove that the landing was real because we didn’t have the cameras back then to manipulate such an event in a film studio. Others argue that the lack of visible stars, the way shadows are cast, and etc. reveal that the whole mission was a hoax because America was so desperate to be #1 in the “Race to Space”. There’s also the thought, that if this were a hoax, those who manipulated the situation decades ago had no idea that technology in the 21-Century would be able to expose their lies! Either way, each side provides a convincing argument; leaving me to be a hung jury.

MK Ultra


Are the world’s governments testing innocent civilians in order to cultivate a super soldier army? This may sound way out there but in the 90s Bill Clinton publicly apologized for such tests that took place decades prior. Nazi scientists were paid by America to come to our country to further study their tests on our own. This happened not only in the States, but also in Canada and in other countries. People have come forward revealing that they have been drugged, abused, and just overall manipulated by top secret government scientists using them as guinea pigs. For a long time the majority of society thought it wasn’t true until Clinton’s apology. It is said that the top secret tests have been stopped but the truth is that they are just under another name that no one knows. Thus, the plot thickens...

Mandela Effect


The Hadron Collider at CERN...looks like it could do some damage.

Are mad scientists plotting against humanity by changing seemingly mundane things through a Large Hadron Collider? Or are people too prideful to admit that they just forgot a fact? Given its name from the late Nelson Mandela who was thought to have died in the 80s but was reported dead (again?) just a few years ago! This sparked the conspiracy that some people are woke to the changes that are being made through technology while others are blind to the truth. I think something is up and it’s amazing how many people are on board (to the hilt) with this. Psychologists label this phenomena as “False Memory” where people remember events wrong. I believe it to an extent and leave it at that. Checkout this YouTube video and decide for yourself!

Big Brother


Does your iPhone have its eye on you? Is your TV watching you? To be “off-grid” is somewhat of a joke with Social Media, Face Recognition, Cell Towers. We all have in some way, shape, or form a technological fingerprint. It only takes a matter of time to find where someone is at or has been. Even if you think you’re protecting yourself, our government may have the upper hand. Our laptops, phones, and other devices store up information on us. If hackers can easily steal your information what makes you think that your own government isn’t keeping tabs on you? Don’t forget MK Ultra. You may think that your just a normal person, but you have no idea how your opinions can be a threat especially if they don’t line up with what they want you to believe (i.e. news media).
