Interesting Information About Conspiracy Documentaries

By Nita McKinney


There are many fans of conspiracy documentaries. There is a big demand for videos, books, and websites about conspiracies. The subject holds a deep fascination for some people. Some of the more popular subjects are presidential assassinations, secret cabals, flying saucers, and terrorist acts.

The Illuminati is among the most popular of paranoid myths. The Illuminati is a secret cabal whose members are the true masters of the world. Historians are not totally sure about the origins of the Illuminati story. They do know that it grew out of the Freemasonry movement, but there seems to be competing histories of this mysterious cult. Some say they are behind international communism while others claim they control the world's banking and monetary systems.

The most recent source of schemes and intrigue revolves around the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This movement is known as the 9/11 truth movement. They truly believe that the United States government was in some way complicit in the attacks. They point to physical evidence that shows the airliners could not have caused the collapse of the buildings. There are many strands of the 9/11 theories, most of them seem clearly ridiculous to most people.

President F. Kennedy's assassination has been the subject of many competing theories. The Warren Commission, which studied the assassination for ten months, concluded that the lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, killed Kennedy on his own. Americans have rejected this conclusion. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations found that President Kennedy was murdered as a part of a plot in which several parties colluded. They could not determine the exact details of the plot.

There are certain characteristics that are common in all these theories. A main characteristic is that the public does not know the truth. What people think is the truth is a lie perpetuated by a cabal of evil doers who are responsible for deceiving the masses. Believers of these theories seem to overlook the fact that pulling off these complicated plots would involve too many people to maintain secrecy.

The theories help explain the unexplainable in a violent, chaotic and troubled world. Conspiracy theories give psychological and emotional comfort to those who are agitated by events beyond their control. Even if the theories seem wacky to most people, to some they provide a framework that helps explain the unexplainable.

Sometimes governments will use the paranoid fear of outsiders to maintain and consolidate power. It can be politicians themselves who perpetuate these myths because it deflects people's attention from them and onto others. Sadly, too many politicians use fear and hate mongering to get elected to office.

For fans of these tales of plots and machinations, a website that specializing in conspiracy documentaries is a treasure trove of mysterious stories and entertainment. You do not have to totally believe in everything you read or hear. But it can certainly get you thinking that everything in this world might not be really what it appears to be.
