Conspiracy Theory

Conspiracy Theories refer to explanations of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation and usually by the government, organised crime groups or large corporations. Although the term 'conspiracy theory' is usually used as an insult, many conspiracies actually make more sense than the official explanations.

List of Conspiracies

Very Likely Conspiracies

• That the War on Drugs is more about increasing the power of the police, profits for well-connected organised crime groups and repressing left-wing social movements across the world.
• That Olof Palme was assassinated by the CIA and South African police working together.

Debunked Conspiracies

• Holocaust Denial - the belief that the Holocaust either didn't happen or has been significantly exaggerated to discredit Hitler's wonderful ideas (sarcasm) or to benefit the 'Jewish Elite'.
