32 Of The Wildest Conspiracy Theories That People Have Ever Heard
Article created by: Kotryna Br
Conspiracy theories are still alive and well in the year of our lord 2024. 54% Americans, for example, believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not definitely or probably did not act alone in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
But there are some conspiracy theories so silly that it's hard to believe anyone would think they're true. One person recently asked online, "What’s the most absurd conspiracy theory you’ve ever heard?" And people had all sorts of answers, from the moon being a hologram to JFK's head just bursting open on its own. So don't hesitate and scroll away for some conspiracy entertainment!

Back in the 1920s Al Smith ran for president. It was notable because he was the first candidate to run who was Catholic. During that time a picture of him during the opening of the Holland Tunnel in New York made the rounds in newspapers around the country.
So what did anti-Catholic nutjobs believe? They believed that he was going to build a tunnel from New York to the Vatican in order to take direct orders from the Pope. Not a metaphorical tunnel where the pope would have his ears, but a *literal* tunnel that one could walk or presumably take a train or something to have direct communication with the pope. An actual tunnel from New York, under the Atlantic, to mainland Europe, all the way to Rome.
Dumbass, absurd conspiracy theories are nothing new.

Last year when the Chinese lunar rover saw that strange square rock out in the distance, I heard some people claim that it was the stage they used to fake the moon landings. On the moon…

Finland Isn’t Real.
A high school kid made it up as a joke, and a whole lot of people took him seriously.

Nearly all celebrities are transgender. "Transvestigators" pore over pictures and videos of famous people, pointing out how "she has a strong jawline" or "he has feminine body language". Apparently, the whole world is controlled by a secret trans cult, and if you want to become famous, you need to transition.

I'm swinging between two.
CT-A: Western dairy manufacturers put pigs milk in cheese to prevent Muslims from going to heaven after they die. This is absurd because pigs are super hard to milk; their milk isn't a whole lot per pig; it lasts hours, not days; and their milk tastes like hot tar smells.
Edit: Yes, the taste is first hand. I asked once as a kid (Farmer relatives.) and I was fed a teaspoon of fresh pigs milk. Milk of magnesia tastes better. Yuck.
CT-B: Nuclear weapons doesn't exist. Self-explanatory.

The moon is a hologram because the real moon was blown up by nukes (possibly by Nazis?) and we would apparently just all go insane if we looked up at the sky and didn’t see a moon so they had to make a fake one.

There were no gunmen in Dallas. JFK's head just did that. It's called the "no bullet theory".

My grandma told me recently that I shouldn’t be giving my daughter M&Ms after posting a cute video of her enjoying them.
See my grandma turned into a q anoner and shes convinced that the democrats are actually demons and that they are going to activate nano bots in ( M&M )to stop everyones hearts using the 5g network.
She even puts her stuff in a special bag to block signals when she is meeting with her nutjub friends.
So ya, thats all I got for now. I love my grandma and trying to help her see reason.

Skittles and M&Ms were secretly created by Big Pharma to condition kids to the idea of associating pill-shaped candies as delicious, so they are subconsciously predisposed to being addicted to pills as an adult.

Reptiles. A local newspaper went as far as pointing out features you can use to recognize them and according to said features, I am a lizard too.
EDIT: Reptilians! I meant reptilians. Still am a lizard apparently, though.

That people whose blood group has a minus after it, like mine does, aren't descended from the same ape creatures the rest of the world is. That the minus proves our lineage was "introduced" to the gene-pool, instead of evolved.

Avril Lavigne died in 2003 and was replaced by an exact double called Melissa. People in the YouTube comments of her videos analysing her face and movements to determine if it's really her or Melissa, absolutely wild.
Apparently there's a similar one for Paul McCartney.

I don't know where it came from or how wide-spread it was, but when Obama's grandmother died, my batshit aunt and uncle were positive he had her murdered because she was about to spill the beans that he was really born in Kenya.

Lindsey Lohan actually had a twin sister who played the twin in The Parent Trap, but between filming and release, the twin died in a car accident, so they marketed the film to make you think Lindsey played both roles.
