Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy Theories

DISCLAIMER: A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy without warrant, generally one involving an illegal or harmful act carried out by government or other powerful actors. Conspiracy theories often produce hypotheses that contradict the prevailing understanding of history or simple facts. 

The Aids Virus was created in a Laboratory

The theory of government involvement of the Aids Virus came about when it first became an epidemic in the 1980’s. According to the pamphlet, scientists at a Fort Detrick, Md., military lab manufactured the disease by synthesizing HTLV-1 (a retrovirus that causes T-cell leukemia) with Visna (a sheep virus). The scientists are said to have administered their lethal concoction to prison inmates. One of the more famous arguments, however, is that Aids is a “punishment from god”; a plague for homosexuals.

Chemtrails

Chemtrails are a theory thought to be the government or other parties adding chemicals to the air via planes. Harvard has conducted studies to prove or debunk this theory, and researched Albedo Modification (AM) to start. AM is a technology that could enable people to modify what is being put into the atmosphere, like materials to reflect more light back to space. However, this hasn’t been studied a great deal because of the physical risk, along with ethical issues. Harvard is confident that there is no way to test or implement AM outdoors.  There is very weak and little proof on Chemtrails, mainly that the controls or flying of the planes look different, almost like saying because someone acts different there must be aliens among us.

Poisonous Government Snow 

In 2014, a snowstorm hit Atlanta, Georgia. After the snow, people were suspicious about the way the snow “melted”, in the fact that it didn’t. Countless videos and twitter posts showing the snowballs charring black when lit on fire, and instead of melting just shrinking some. However, others have debunked this using other methods of melting the snow like how they held it or the heat they used on it, and discovered the snow did melt normally when held differently. Although a lot of the snow was still questionable.
