I home school my two teens.

Every couple of weeks I give them a conspiracy theory to look up, write a bit about, and give me their opinion on, and reasons for that opinion. It helps them with research and critical thinking (I hope).

I've done a lot of the obvious ones, New world order, 9/11, JFK assassination, some of the denial ones in WW2 etc.

I'm running out of ideas for other ones, preferably that incorporate history, geography etc, or just ones that are a bit out there or interesting.

TIA Flowers

Finland doesn't exist

Ah, that's my favourite!

I think I first came across it on here, actually - maybe during the first lockdown? - and then fell down a good five-hour rabbit hole of YouTube madness.

I bloody love a good CT, the madder the better.

Not a conspiracy theory...
but Nostradamus?

JonBenet Ramsey is actually alive and has grown up to be Katy Perry.

Birds are not real. They are drones, with cameras for eyes.

This is an interesting one. I've just learned the other day, that it was a fake conspiracy theory deliberately started by young Americans to show how silly conspiracy theories are.

KitchiHuritAngeni · 28/09/2022 19:45

Oh thank you all so much, haven't heard of quite a few of these. I'll probably end up awake all night seeing if Finland actually is real or if Jon Bennet Ramsay is Katy Perry 🤣

There's some great ones I never thought of as well.

I wholeheartedly believe the Liz Truss one already, that has to be the only reason for this shitshow of a government.

We did a good topic of women in mythology and history who had been villified, but were actually justified not long ago, if anyone can think of any women who have been wronged in the history books as well 🤣

Loads of Royal ones - Harry's biological father: Queen Mother's real mother,: Wallis Simpson was a man: Diana isn't really dead, or isn't buried on the island at Althorp: Queen Victoria married John Brown.

Kyle Rittenhouse is Noah Pozner

🤣 Love the Rob Kardashian conspiracy!

Adrenocrome and the illuminati! I fell down a huge rabbit hole of this in the first lockdown 😅

ivykaty44 · 28/09/2022 19:59

Diana been killed by Philip. He issued the kill order due to her boyfriends heritage.

this ^

but particularly look at why 15 of the cctv cameras were turned off that night, why the crash was in a tunnel & lastly why the injuries we’re survivable

the princes in the tower - is that historic conspiracy theories?

ivykaty44 · 28/09/2022 20:01

Queen Mother's real mother,

always thought it suspicious she was born in an ambulance crossing London - didn’t realise there were conspiracy theories

HundredYearsOfSolitude · 28/09/2022 20:04

Talking about Diana not buried on that island, my late Aunt lived in the village and apparently it was well known she was put next to her father in the family crypt. Something to do with the island not being deep enough also they wanted to hold off visitors.

No idea if true or not!

JazbayGrapes · 28/09/2022 20:06

Elvis is alive. Would be dead by now surely?

containsnuts · 28/09/2022 20:08

Hilary Clinton glitching. Obviously she has some sort of medical problem they don't want us to know about but the whole cover-up effort is farcical.

Howappropriate · 28/09/2022 20:13

Bigfoot, Dogman.
What they are is second layer of mystery- paranormal? Ancient animal? Government experiment gone wrong?

Just looked at this one. Wow 😮

The Rob Kardashien one is just daft enough it could be true 🤣

I've never heard the Queen mother one, just looked at it quickly, I'm going to do this one along with my daughters and see what I think, looks interesting.

Diana is a good one too, so many theories to do with her.

I heard the 'real' Elvis was a homeless man who died fairly recently, and something about they spelled his middle name wrong on the original death certificate, this proving he wasn't actually dead and was, in fact, homeless for the last few decades.

Thanks everyone, I'm looking at them all, these are amazing.
