Creating a fictional conspiracy

[Vladd67]

If you want conspiracies, all be it of the tin foil hat brigade type check out David Icke's forum good for a laugh if nothing else.

After spending ten years and on going researching conspiracies, I present the following;

The following are documented conspiracies and events:
-JFK Assassination
-A Plan for a New World Order
-Man Made UFOs and Patents
-The Threat of Nuclear War Hoax
-Free Energy Patents
-The Yugoslavian Space Program and NASA

The following are conspiracy theories which still require validation or are Flase:
-Aliens
-9/11 False Flag event
-Freemasons Rule the World
-The Apollo Moon Landing Hoax
-The Bunge Corporation
-The Gaalt Corporation
-Alternative 3
-The Report from Iron Mountain
-The Black Knight Satellite
-The James Bond Code
-The Vril Society
-Hollow Earth
-The Illuminati
-The Holy Bloodline of David (Holy Grail)
-Albert Einstein did not write his physics papers
-The Gemstone File
-The Denver International Airport Conspiracy

Notice the ratio. Ofcourse, these are just a few out of hundreds that are out there, but is enough to spark some inspiration.

A successful conspiracy, as Dave once observed, must be tight? There are a lot of disturbing 'coincidences' around 9/11 for instance (there really are) but too many people would have had to know about it ...

The main problem, which could also feature as a tool in literature works, is distinguishing between emotion and spin, which you get from depending on another medium to attain a sense of truth and your own investigation of documents and science. Self conviction of truth is all you can be sure of. With regard to 9/11 I can only regard it as a list entry until the facts are brought out, yes there are many uncomfortable coincidences and I can understand that it is hard not be emotional about it. Impartiality is key.

What can be said about conspiracies in general though is, if you dig deep enough, you can find things which transform your life and after that, as much as it sounds cliche', there truly is no going back from your old life.
