APRIL 29, 2014 SECONDARY STUDENT MAGAZINE Conspiracy Theories By Austin H ! Conspiracy  theories  have  always  been  around,  and  always  will  be  here  to  ques7on  every   decision  that  you  make.  But  the  problem  with  society  is  that  we  can’t  all  agree  on  one  conclusion.   People  have  different  views  on  certain  things,  and  always  will.     One  of  the  most  famous  conspiracies  in  human  history  was  arguably  the  greatest  event  in   th  century.  The  moon  landing  in  1969  by  Neil  Armstrong  has  been  known  to  be  staged  in   the  20 the  top  secret  Area  51  in  Nevada.  Some  events  in  history  that  have  been  known  to  be  fact  are   more  than  just  what  it  seems  to  be.     The  government  keeps  a  lot  of  secrets  that  are  only  open  to  a  chosen  few.  For  example,   people  believe  that  the  US  made  a  war  in  Iraq  because  they  wanted  to  take  all  of  the  oil.  Some   call  this  war  the  “Blood  for  Oil”.  Also,  people  believe  that  the  aSack  on  Pearl  Harbour  in  1941  was   what   the   US   wan7ng   to   give   a   reason   to   enter   World   War   2.   Conspirators   believe   that   the   Japanese  never  aSacked  Hawaii,  and  that  the  US  staged  the  aSack.     ! Although  the  government   is   a   goldmine   of   conspiracies,   some   secrets   are   even   further   than   their   reach.   There   is   a   conspiracy   theory   that   a   secre7ve   elite   group,   named   the   New   World   Order   (NWO)  are  conspiring  to  in  the  future  rule  the  world.  This  secret  government  is  only  known  by  2   White   House   candidates,   and   this   government   already   controls   the   world,   but   not   to   its   100%   ability.     Some  conspiracy  theories  can  be  absolutely  bonkers!  For  example,  every  single  pop  singer   in   the   world   is   a   member   of   the   New   World   Order.   They   gain   influence   of   millions   of   people   around   the   world,   so   that   they   can   eventually   control   everybody.   Also   in   the   US,   the   trails   le]   behind  by  aircra]s  contain  toxic  chemicals  that  eventually  will  mutate  humans.   !
