Man in the Iron Mask

Q: Despite the back-stabbing of French politics, the gains that could be made by revealing who this prisoner was, and the methodical examination of records, there is no indication of who the prisoner was. It was a universally kept secret, by all parties involved.

A: The identity of the Man in the Iron Mask is so well hidden one can surmise it's simply because he didn't exist at all. The vision of such a figure would go far towards quelling any dissidence to the King's rule. The prospect of lifelong imprisonment does that sort of thing...  
 

‘Murder’ of Rudolph Hess

Q: While imprisoned in Britain, Rudolph Hess kept complaining that he felt his food was being poisoned. This was just chalked up to Hess's instability, but if he were being drugged, his food would be the least conspicuous form of administering poison.

A: The world actually managed to jail a high-ranking member of Hitler's Nazi Party?  No wonder no one believes it - all the other Nazis went to work for the CIA.  
 

J.F.K. Assassination

Q: President Kennedy's brain went missing under mysterious circumstances a number of years ago. This is highly suspicious and also very convenient, as modern scientific tests cannot now be carried out to establish the trajectory of the fatal bullets. The tests would have answered once and for all the question of whether there was a second (or even a third) gunman.

A: The legendary grassy knoll from where the second gunman was supposed to have shot Kennedy would have been so busy that surely someone would have spotted the thirty or so gunmen that would have to have been there to account for all the proposed conspiracy theories.  
 

The Pentagon

Q: It takes exactly seven minutes to walk between any two points in the Pentagon. In the mystical study of numbers and their relationship to the physical world, seven is the number of perfection and is symbolic of control over both spiritual and mortal realms.

A: Hardly possible , imagine older people with short legs versus tall walking well trained military personal all seven minutes ? Sometimes a building is just a building. The Pentagon is not the only controversially designed office block in the world. If it were not the home of the US military and countless conspiracies, it would probably not attract any significant speculation.  
 

Bilderberger

Q: Jon Ronson, author of Them, investigating the Bilderberg Group for Channel 4 television in the UK, faced some uncharacteristically extreme swearwords from Bilderherg founder Lord Healey when questioning him about the aims of the Bilderbergers. Ronson also sneaked past security to witness a secret Bilderherg summer retreat at Bohemian Grove, where a human effigy was burned beneath a statue of a 40-foot (12.19 metre) owl.

A: The wealthiest people in the world would want to bother to actually run it ? Well, fancy that...  
 

New World Order Conspiracy

Q: Some surprising people have recently been trying to expose e the NWO. Dr Johannes Koeppl was a special advisor to the e German defence ministry and NATO has recently warned that d the NWO is real and they want a "take-over of world )f governments". Koeppl is certainly in a position to know about d these things, having made presentations to both the Bilderberg o   Group and the Trilateral Commission. Not surprisingly, as  soon as Koeppl went public with his views that a "criminal society" was engaged in this massive conspiracy to "take over the world within five years", his political and media commentator careers were suddenly ended.

A: Given the difficulty that most governments seem to have I. merely organizing their own internal financial flow, it would y be astonishing if such a group of people - all of whom are going y to have their own vested interests - could organize events in the o world at large to such an amazing degree. If the Devil is behind n it all, what does he care if we are one nation or two hundred?  
 

Trilateral Commission

Q: The Commission renews itself every three years. In 2003 it updated its 30-year-old agenda concerning international interdependence to one of globalization. Timely, given the increase in forces opposing this growing trend. Quite what Shirley Temple and Barbara Walters - both members of the Trilateral Commission - have to say about this subject remains a topic of debate among conspiracy buffs.

A: If there were going to be a New World Order, would the Trilateral Commission even have to exist as a public entity?  
 

UFO Abductions:

Q: The commonality of experience among abduction victims, from descriptions of the Greys, procedures and implants, is disquieting. The meteoric rise of books, movies and reports of abductions hints that a greater truth is just lurking beneath the surface, ready to break through at any moment.

A: The same phenomenon occurred at the end of the nineteenth century. Although then, instead of alien abductions it was fairies. Chalk it up to end-of-the-century madness, coupled with pre-millennial paranoia.  
 

Roswell UFO:

Q: After driving out to the airfield hospital, the Roswell mortician Glenn Dennis saw several bits of wreckage carved with strange engravings. Speaking to a nurse there, she explained about the bodies, going so far as to draw him pictures on a prescription pad. A few days later, she was mysteriously assigned to a post in England, and then seemed, apparently. to drop off the face of the Earth.

A: The wild variations in the accounts of several "eyewitnesses" and the pure schlock of such gems as the purported Roswell alien autopsy video give this potentially devastating event all the appeal of a trailer park fun fair. It has become alien conspiracies equivalent of Elvis sightings.  
 

Oklahoma Bombing:

Q: In 2002 it emerged that certain Pentagon officials believed that Timothy McVeigh was working in conjunction with Iraqis due to the fact that he was in possession of Iraqi telephone numbers. However, this revelation may have been However, this revelation may have been a smokescreen to throw investigators off the track since it emerged that Chandra Levy's disappearance may have been related to McVeigh's execution.

A: To believe that there is more to the Oklahoma bombing than we have officially been told implies some degree of authority collusion in the deaths of scores of innocent government workers. At the very least it means the authorities were not interested in getting the real culprits - surely too big a leap into the darkness on the basis of the facts currently available.  
 

9/11

Q: The passport of the alleged hijacker Mohamed seems to have reality-defying properties. While DNA techniques had to he used to try to identify victims, his passport was thrown intact and without a scratch from the devastating explosion that destroyed Flight 11 and astonishingly found in a matter of hours among 1.6 million tons of debris. However, the indestructible passport was a stroke of luck for the FBI investigators trying to work out who was on the flight.

A: September 11 has given birth to more conspiracy theories than any other event in US history, aside from the assassination of JFK. Given the hurt and anger that the attacks generated, no one should be surprised by this. You can believe the theories, see them as symptoms of a traumatized country or deride them. Luckily, you still, have the freedom to choose.  
 

Chandra Levy Case

Q: The lead FBI investigator in the Chandra Levy case was Special Agent Bradley J Garrett, someone who had already come to the attention of some conspiracy researchers. Garrett had played a key role in the prosecution of Pakistan national Aimal Kasi, who was accused of murdering CIA agents in a car parked outside the Agency's HQ in Langley, Virginia. He had also investigated the suspicious death of another young female intern - Mary Caitrin Mahoney - shot in what seemed like a professional hit in a Washington DC Starbucks. Being an FBI agent involved in two conspiracies with unresolved questions makes you either incredibly unlucky or highly suspicious in the eyes of conspiracy research, but three? Not even Fox Mulder from The X-Files was that unlucky.

A: An unknown random attacker murders a young woman; a married politician has a career-wrecking affair with an intern - sadly, these are hardly uncommon occurrences. Were it not for the coincidence that both headlines could be related to Chandra Levy, conspiracy theorists would have their work cut out finding anything to worry about. Give it up, boys! Washington DC is convoluted and murky enough without having to invent new twists and turns through the cesspool.  
 

SARS

Q: Some heavyweight scientists, including Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe of Cardiff University, believe that the only explanation for some of the odd characteristics of SARS is that it has an extraterrestrial origin via cosmic dust. Given that scientists only go in for extraterrestrial theories when their hacks are really up against the wall to come up with a simpler explanation, it is fairly obvious that the truth behind SARS has the global scientific community stumped.

A: If there is one thing that travels faster than a new virus across the globe, it is a conspiracy theory about the virus. Stupid and risible stories about super-bugs almost certainly pose a danger to those who take them seriously and to the pocket-linings of anyone making surgical masks or creating quack cures. Of course, they do not harm certain governments who are all too happy to see the conspiracy theories run amuck, helping deflect some of the anger that should rightly be aimed at their national leadership.  
 

Hutton Inquiry

Q: Some conspiracy researchers feel that Kelly's death had little to do with Iraq and is actually part of a much larger conspiracy involving the deaths of at least twenty of the world's top microbiologists within a year of each other. Many of the scientists - such as Russian defector Vladimir Pasechnik, whom Kelly had debriefed for M16 - had worked with Kelly. Among the strange deaths recorded are Benito Que (beaten in Miami); Robert M Schwartz (stabbed in a "ritualistic slaying"); Nguyen Van Set (died in a lab freezer); and Tanya Holzmayer, killed by a microbiologist colleague, Guyang Huang, who shot her before apparently turning the gun on himself.

A: The Hutton Inquiry failed - some might say deliberately - to answer many outstanding questions surrounding the suspicious elements of Dr Kelly's demise. Ultimately, however, blame for the tragic death of this decent man has been laid at the door of the scientist himself. Lord Hutton found that the Ministry of Defence had not failed in its care of duty to its employee and, certainly for the foreseeable future, the case is now closed.  
 

Plus, No Comment..

Illuminati

There is, when you get down to it, no real evidence whatsoever to suggest that the Illuminati were anything other than a short ­lived Bavarian would be secret society - just a lot of hearsay. If it hadn't been for the Nazis who used it in their propaganda, and especially, The Illuminatus! Trilogy the Bavarian Illuminati would still be an obscure sect lost in the footnotes of history.  
 

George Bush

Did Dr Evil take over the world and has everything we have been experiencing for the last few years just been a part of his cunning plan - including Mini-Me sitting in the Oval Office? It makes as much sense as some other George W theories and at least explains why Dubya seems to have problems speaking English properly.
