If you enjoy this article, please check out my documentary film series, Core of Corruption.

If you haven't seen my documentary, "Core of Corruption: In the Shadows," you can watch it here.  If you want to help support my work and my website so that I may continue to provide my research and entertainment, you can purchase a DVD here: CoreOfCorruption.com  In the 1st installment of the film, I cover the grounds that the attacks of 9/11 had complicit parties that have not yet been charged with the crime and the United States is largely unaware of the fact that the attacks on 9/11 were the result of a much larger network of terrorists that go unnamed and are not being pursued.  These terrorists include complicit figures from with powerful establishments and governments.  Evidence has mounted that Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Israel and even the United States have a small rogue element from within its intelligence community, namely the counter-intelligence community, that may have had some involvement in the financing, training or carrying out of the attacks.  I know it sounds crazy at first, but watch my documentary on 9/11 and I think you will see the overwhelming evidence for this case.

After reading the article released by Cracked.com, I decided to update and revise their work. The article gave me a chuckle because it lacked many famous and much larger conspiracy theories that became known.  Their article had only listed seven. I can name 33 and I am about to release a revised list soon with 75.  The article I read at cracked can be viewed here, but don't waste your time, all of that is in this article and more.

Most people can't resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem.  At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue ... and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous.  Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy.  USA Today reports that over 75% of personal ads in the paper and on craigslist are married couples posing as single for a one night affair.  When someone knocks on your door to sell you a set of knives or phone cards, anything for that matter, do they have a profit motive?  What is conspiracy other than just a scary way of saying “alternative agenda”?  When 2 friends go to a bar and begin to plan their wingman approach on 2 girls they see at the bar, how often are they planning on lying to those girls?“  I own a small business and am in town for a short while.Oh yeah, you look beautiful.”

Conspiracy theory is a term that originally was a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy.  However, it has come almost exclusively to refer to any fringe theory which explains a historical or current event as the result of a secret plot by conspirators of almost superhuman power and cunning.  To conspire means "to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.  "The term "conspiracy theory" is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from "the people".

To many, conspiracy theories are just human nature.  Not all people in this world are honest, hard working and forthcoming about their intentions.Certainly we can all agree on this.So how did the term “conspiracy theory” get grouped in with fiction, fantasy and folklore?  Maybe that’s a conspiracy, just kidding.  Or am I?

Skeptics are important in achieving an objective view of reality, however, skeptism is not the same as reinforcing the official storyline.  In fact, a conspiracy theory can be argued as an alternative to the official or “mainstream” story of events.  Therefore, when skeptics attempt to ridicule a conspiracy theory by using the official story as a means of proving the conspiracy wrong, in effect, they are just reinforcing the original “mainstream” view of history, and actually not being skeptical.  This is not skeptism, it is just a convenient way for the establishment view of things to be seen as the correct version, all the time, every time.  In fact, it is common for "hit pieces" or "debunking articles" to pick extremely fringe and not very populated conspiracy theories.  This in turn makes all conspiracies on a subject matter look crazy.  Skeptics magazine and Popular Mechanics, among many others, did this with 9/11.  They referred to less than 10% of the many different conspiracy theories about 9/11 and picked the less popular ones, in fact, they picked the fringe, highly improbable points that only a few people make.  This was used as the "final investigation" for looking into the conspiracy theories. Convenient, huh?

In fact, if one were to look into conspiracy theories, they will largely find that thinking about a conspiracy is associated with lunacy and paranoia. Some websites suggest it as an illness. It is also not surprising to see so many people on the internet writing about conspiracy theories in a condescending tone, usually with the words "kool-aid," "crack pot," or "nut job" in their articulation. This must be obvious to anyone that emotionally writing about such serious matter insults the reader more than the conspiracy theorist because there is no need to resort to this kind of behavior. It is employed often with an "expert" who will say something along the lines of, "for these conspiracies to be true, you would need hundreds if not thousands of people to be involved. It's just not conceivable."

I find it extremely odd that the assumption is on thousands of participants in a conspiracy. I, for one, find it hard to believe any conspiracy involving more than a handful of people but the fact remains that there have been conspiracies in our world, proven and not made up, that involved many hundreds of people. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

One more thing to consider, have you noticed that if the conspiracy is involving powerful interests with the ability to bribe, threaten or manipulate major institutions (like the mafia, big corporations or government) then don't you find it odd when people use one of those as the "credible" counter-argument? What I mean is, if you are discussing a conspiracy about the mafia, and someone hands you a debunking article that was written by the Mafia, it doesn't seem like it would take rocket science to look at that with serious criticism and credibility. This is the case with many conspiracies. In fact, I am handed debunking pieces all the time written in many cases by the conspirators in question. Doesn't this seem odd to anybody else but me?
While intelligent cynicism certainly can be healthy, though, some of the greatest discoveries of all time were initially received (often with great vitriol) as blasphemous conspiracy theories -- think of the revelation that the earth was not the center of the universe, or that the world was not flat but actually round.
What follow are some of the most shocking modern conspiracy theories that turned out true after thorough investigation by our society.  Some of them were proven through congressional hearings; others, through investigative journalism.  Many, however, were just admitted to by those involved.  There is a long list, of which just 33 appear below.  Many of these are listed with references to original and credible news clips on the matter, as well as to documentaries.

Pepper Spray Incident in Slow Motion #OccupyWallSt

Source: MSNBC
Date: 9/27/2011


Although the corporate media is late to the punch I am glad to see them covering the pepper spray incident and other NYPD police brutality in great detail. The officer who did the pepper spray is identified as Anthony P. Bologna by anonymous who I think went too far to also disclose who the officer's family members were in addition to past civil rights complaints against the officer.  Kudos to Larry O'Donnell for this good piece.

Editor's Note: There are a large number of NYPD officers who are opposed to the violence and 99 refused to show up for work in solidarity with the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters.  Quoting the article Report: 100 New York Police Officers Boycott In Solidarity with Wall Street Protesters from Washington's Blog:

Are New York Police Boycotting to Protest Violence?

After New York’s finest brutalized peaceful Wall Street protesters, rumor has it that police officers are boycotting.
Occupy Wall Street notes:
Today we received unconfirmed reports that over one hundred blue collar police refused to come into work in solidarity with our movement. These numbers will grow. We are the 99 percent. You will not silence us.
But the 1% will certainly try to silence the 99%.

@JerryBrownGov please approve AB 750 a California state-owned bank could help solve your budget woes

Californians, please call up governor Jerry Brown for him to approve the study of a state-owned bank  in California (AB 750). It could cut your budget deficit in half, by allowing for the state to self-finance its own infrastructure projects at 0% interest. Loans to local banks or individuals could also be at low rates, plus it would be more stable than a private bank because all of California's money and tax receipts would be deposited in the state-owned bank to back loans. Think of it as a mini-Fed for your state, except that the shareholder essentially is the taxpayer. Every year the Fed must pay its private shareholders a 6 percent dividend, with the rest of the earnings being refunded to the U.S. Treasury. Currently North Dakota is the only state with its own state-owned bank (whose charter started back in 1918), and they consistently have budget surpluses and an extremely low rate of unemployment.  The financial success of N. Dakota is not just due to oil natural resources!  Rather than competing with local banks, the BND has actually worked together with local banks to create greater financial stability within the state.



Following are Governor Brown's contact details:

Identities of people involved in the alleged JP Morgan conspiracy to manipulate the price of silver have been exposed, along with the mechanisms of the manipulation of silver.  King World News was contacted two days ago by key people familiar with this situation.  This was described by an individual out of London who is very familiar with the lawsuit as, “The biggest news in a long time because these are actual people who are coming out and naming names of individuals who were involved in this alleged conspiracy with JP Morgan to actively manipulate the price of silver.  People may go to jail over this.  JP Morgan has all barrels pointing at them as traders are named in this suit, including senior traders at JP Morgan.”

You've been robbed by a bank and you haven't the slightest clue!

Don't you love when you flip on FOX or CNBC and they have two charlatans, each with their own little screen explaining how stupid you are and how they alone understand what is presently going on in the economy. Charlatan A insists we need to cut all spending to curb the deficit and national debt or we will have "Hyperinflation" followed by charlatan B refuting that by insisting we need more economic "stimulus" packages or we will slip into a deflationary depression.

Let me be clear, charlatan A is absolutely full of shit and charlatan B is only giving you a fraction of the truth. Most likely because they themselves (Despite their Ivy League Degrees) have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

California May Launch Public Bank, Which Could Help Take the Power To Manipulate the System Away From the Insolvent Giant Banks

California Passes Bill to Study Public Bank

The California legislature has passed a bill to study public banking. If you don’t know what public banking is (North Dakota already has a public bank, which is helping to keep that state in the green) and why this issue is so important – read this and this for background.
This could take away the power of the giant, insolvent banks to manipulate the money system. See this and this.

Governor Brown Is On the Fence On Vetoing Or Signing … But He’s On the Fence

Ellen Brown – whose Public Banking Institute helped pass the bill – says that California governor Jerry Brown is considering vetoing the bill. Brown suggests that Californians call Governor Brown to urge him to sign the bill (AB750) into law:

Gerald Celente: “Things Are Going to Get Much Worse…Society Is Breaking Down”

Source: Yahoo Daily Ticker
Date: 9/15/2011
by: Aaron Task


The government this week reported the U.S. poverty rate has risen to 15.1%, the highest since 1993, while 22% of children are living below the poverty line. Meanwhile, average median U.S. income fell 2.3% to $49,445, roughly 7% below the 1999 peak and a level not seen since 1996 on an inflation-adjusted basis. (See: As America's Middle Class Shrinks, P&G Adopts "Hourglass" Strategy)
If you think that's bad, just listen to what trend watcher Gerald Celente has to say in the accompanying video.
"Things are going to get much worse," Celente says. "Society is breaking down on every level: socially, economically, politically and it's not just the U.S. It's worldwide."
Celente believes the globe is following a similar path to what occurred after the 1929 crash: Severe economic contraction, followed by currency wars, trade wars and, ultimately, armed conflict.
Currency wars have already started he said, citing the recent decision by the Swiss National Bank to peg the Swiss franc to the euro.

Who was really behind #911?

One of my favorite trading movies of all time is "Trading Places" which stars Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.    The movie was produced by Aaron Russo, who also produced "Aaron Russo's Mad As Hell" and "America: Freedom to Fascism". Aaron Russo was also well known for his activism within the 9/11 truth movement, founding the Constitution Party and running for the governorship of Nevada in 1998 (which he lost), as well as having been one of the Libertarian Party presidential nominees in 2004.

If you still think that Osama bin Laden was the "mastermind" of the 9/11 attacks as is the common myth, it is especially important that you watch the following seminal interview of Aaron Russo by Infowars radio talk show host Alex Jones titled Aaron Russo: Reflections and Warnings. In this interview Aaron Russo discloses confidential information told to him by Nicholas Rockefeller, whom he had formed a close friendship with (before he knew he was essentially dancing with the devil). The charming Darth Rockefeller luckily was not able to turn Mr. Russo over to the dark side of the banking cartel. Aaron Russo's conscience and lack of psychopathic tendencies prevented him from selling out the human race for tempting business deals.
Hint: If you are short on time scroll to 25 minutes 50 seconds in to the interview, which is the spot where the bombshell is dropped.

Aaron Russo, who has since passed away from bladder cancer (RIP August 24, 2007), founded "Restore the Republic" which is now headed by his good friend Gary Franchi. Membership to the RTR.org social network is free and you get a good dose of truth and real news.

My best wishes and prayers go out to the friends and family members of 9/11 victims, the first responders (who have been excluded from the 10th anniversary ceremony this year and denied proper healthcare for a decade, as well as being subject to being screened against an FBI terrorist watch list before being eligible to receive healthcare under the 9/11 health bill), 9/11 whistle-blowers like Aaron Russo (many of whom have died mysterious deaths), 9/11 truth activists (including of course Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth) and all of the soldiers who volunteered to serve their country after the 9/11 attack. Unfortunately, our soldiers were lied to and told that they would be going overseas to prevent a WMD attack, fight terrorism and spread democracy [by toppling Saddam]. In reality war profiteering, stealing/controlling natural resources and imperialism have almost always been the true historical motivations for waging war. Pat Tillman realized what was really going on and sent letters home stating his intent to go public [with the fact that our troops have been ordered to guard, and even help produce and store the opium of Afghan warlords]. Many believe Mr. Tillman was murdered for this reason, although officially his death has been classified as a fratricide (friendly fire).

Black Africans Genocided by Al-Qaeda Led Rebels in Libya

Governments historically have used war propaganda (often in the form of atrocities ascribed to the targeted enemy) on their own people in order to make a case for and gain public support for going to war.  A litany of lies once again was fed to us via the corporate news media in order to justify the NATO invasion of Libya.  Have we forgotten that fabricated stories involving WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction), post-9/11 anger and the good old cliche of bringing democracy to Iraq were used to manipulate us in to going to war with another sovereign country who had not attacked us?

One of the big lies told to the public via the corporate media was that black African mercenaries were being used by Gaddafi to commit genocide against the Libyan people.  According to the CounterPunch article titled "The Top Ten Myths in the War Against Libya":
[...]

Patrick Cockburn summarized the functional utility of the myth of the “African mercenary” and the context in which it arose: “Since February, the insurgents, often supported by foreign powers, claimed that the battle was between Gaddafi and his family on the one side and the Libyan people on the other. Their explanation for the large pro-Gaddafi forces was that they were all mercenaries, mostly from black Africa, whose only motive was money”. As he notes, black prisoners were put on display for the media (which is a violation of the Geneva Convention), but Amnesty International later found that all the prisoners had supposedly been released since none of them were fighters, but rather were undocumented workers from Mali, Chad, and west Africa. The myth was useful for the opposition to insist that this was a war between “Gaddafi and the Libyan people,” as if he had no domestic support at all—an absolute and colossal fabrication such that one would think only little children could believe a story so fantastic. The myth is also useful for cementing the intended rupture between “the new Libya” and Pan-Africanism, realigning Libya with Europe and the “modern world” which some of the opposition so explicitly crave.

[...] 
In reality, real genocide has occurred against the black Africans living in Libya by the admittedly Al-Qaeda controlled rebels.  Black Libyans have been rounded up en-mass with no proof they have done anything wrong and in many cases they have been dragged from their homes and summarily executed, with the excuse being that they must be mercenaries who supposedly were used by Gaddafi to attack his own people.

Croatia and Iceland in Danger of Being Assimilated by EU Borg

Croatia won its independence from communism in 1995, but for the last six years has been in negotiation for inclusion in to the European Union, a superstate run by the Soviet style politburo known as the European Commission. The European Commission is actually comprised of a small number of unelected, and unaccountable, cabinet members who decide on all legislation, with the EU Parliament being reduced to only an advisory rubber-stamping role (and for public spectacle). This does not exactly sound like a democracy to me and, unfortunately, the United States is moving in this direction as well with the approval of the Super Congress (also known as the Joint Special Committee on Deficit Reduction, Supercommittee or Council of 13). Although the stated intent of the Super Congress is to fast track budget cuts (and tax hikes) to deal with America's debt crisis, it sets a bad precedence and creates the potential for overreach in to other areas. The regular Congress can not propose their own legislation or amendments to the legislation decided upon by the Super Congress. They can only vote yea or nay. Does this sound familiar (hint: EU politburo)? It seems obvious to me that this is just another step forwards by the globalism fanatics who want to take us closer to their dream of a socialist one world totalitarian government (controlled by them of course). Iceland has rejected the banker bailout, and thus maintained their independence from debt bondage to the international bankers for now, but they are also in danger of being assimilated by the European Union superstate. Here is why Croatia and Iceland should not join the European Union: Sovereign nations going in to debt to the international bankers and ceding their money power over to these private interests has resulted in their downfall throughout history. If Croatia and Iceland are assimilated by the EU, allowing the ECB (European Central Bank) to control their monetary policy and money supply, then woe as them. Ireland and Greece both collapsed soon after joining the EU and the same is likely to happen to both Croatia and Iceland if they join.
