CONSPIRACY THEORIES 
Quick Hits
SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING 
• Can subliminal advertising make you purchase a product? 
• According to Howstuffworks.com, a subliminal message (meaning, below 
"limen," or our conscious perception threshold) is a "message embedded 
into images or sound meant to penetrate into our subconscious and 
influence our behavior." 
• The term was coined in 1957, by James Vicary, a market researcher who 
inserted messages into a movie that was showcased in a New Jersey theater. 
The carefully hidden message instructed moviegoers to drink Coca-Cola 
and eat popcorn.
SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING 
• The use of subliminal advertising purportedly increased in the following 
years, and in 1973, author Wilson Bryan Key wrote a controversial book 
about the subject. The following year the Federal Communications 
Commission launched an investigation, during which they determined that 
subliminal advertising was "intended to be deceptive." 
• Following a series of hearings, the FCC banned the use of subliminal 
advertising. 
• Today, experts continue to disagree on how effective subliminal messages 
are. Several independent studies have been conducted, perhaps the most 
famous of which was done by a Canadian TV station, which flashed the 
message "Call now" to viewers during a broadcast. According to the 
station, the message had no effect on their viewers.
ELECTRONIC BANKING 
• According to some conspiracy theorists, virtual money – credit and debit 
cards – was created by a "secret group" that plans to dominate the world. 
• The plan, according to theorists, is to completely eliminate paper and coin 
currency so that citizens rely solely on electronic banking. Once that goal is 
achieved, the "secret group" will cause a worldwide electronic blackout, 
which will simultaneously erase everyone's bank account information, thus 
creating chaos and panic. 
• The alleged motivation behind the plot is the reintroduction of slavery 
into the modern world. The benefactors vary – depending on which theory 
you subscribe to. 
• Again, this is another theory that experts refuse to waste their time 
acknowledging or debunking.
CHEMTRAILS 
• Certainly you've noticed the white trail in the sky that is left behind by high-flying 
jets. Odds are you would be hard-pressed not to see one whenever you 
look up on a clear day. So what exactly is that trail? According to conspiracy 
theorists, it is a cocktail of chemicals and biological agents that are being 
deliberately sprayed for – depending on which theory you subscribe to – 
population control, weather control and biowarfare. 
• The trails have resulted in thousands of complaints to both the U.S. and 
Canadian governments. Both countries deny any wrongdoing.
CHEMTRAILS 
• Investigations have been launched by numerous scientific communities, all 
of whom found no factual evidence to support the conspiracy theories. 
Instead, they claim the white trail is actually a condensation trail (contrail) 
that is a result of normal emissions from the aircraft engines' exhaust. 
• Regardless of the explanations, chemtrail conspiracy theories continue to 
persist on the Internet. 
• "If you try to pin these people down and refute things, it's, 'Well, you're just 
part of the conspiracy'," NASA scientist Patrick Minnis said in a recent 
interview with USA Today.

ALIEN REPTILES 
• Chances are you have heard theories regarding the death of Diana, Princess of 
Wales; however you might not have heard the most recent claims – regarding 
the royal family's alleged shape-shifting abilities. 
• According to Christine Fitzgerald, a former confidante of Diana, the princess 
once told her that the royal family was made up reptilian aliens from a faraway 
galaxy. 
• Similarly, BBC reporter David Icke believes that humanity is under the control 
of alien reptiles. In an article titled "The Reptilian Connection," he writes: 
• "These 'gods' could not take over the planet openly because there are not 
enough of them, so they are doing it covertly by appearing human. Movies 
like They Live, The Arrival (the first, not the sequel), and the U.S. television 
series, V, tell the story of what is REALLY going on. I urge you to think about 
watching these movies to get up to speed if you are new to all of this."
ALIEN REPTILES 
• You might find Icke's views a bit skewed; however he has managed to 
garner a large following in recent years and continues to give sold-out 
speaking engagements around the world. 
• Interestingly enough, there are several Web sites devoted to alien reptiles 
and the belief that some of us are extraterrestrial beings. One site in 
particular, abovetopsecret.com, even provides a step-by-step guide for 
determining if you are not of this planet. Indicators include the "feeling 
you don't belong here on this planet" and the possession of supernatural 
abilities, including "telepathy, clairvoyance, clairsentience super empathy." 
• Experts have refused to recognize or attempt to debunk the reptilian 
claims.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE 
• Is there a mysterious force that causes ships and planes to disappear in the 
Bermuda Triangle, or is this just another far-fetched theory? 
• Located in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda 
Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, covers roughly 500,000 square 
miles of the ocean, with apexes in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. 
• There is no mistaking that a large number of vessels have gone missing in 
the area; however the explanation for those disappearances is where the 
conspiracies come into play. According to theorists, supernatural elements 
are responsible for the disappearances. Some say extraterrestrial beings are 
to blame, while others point to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. 
• Adding more mystique to the incidents are reported compass variations, in 
which a compass will point to true north rather than magnetic north.
BERMUDA TRIANGLE 
• The U.S. Coast Guard and other experts familiar with the triangle discount 
supernatural elements as being responsible. Instead, they point to the fact that 
the triangle is situated in a heavily traveled area of the ocean. They say that the 
number of incidents that occur there are no greater than those that occur in 
other parts of the ocean. They feel that any number of natural occurrences - 
including tropical storms and rogue waves – could be responsible. They also 
point to the possibility of pirates and mechanical failures. 
• In regard to the compass problems, experts say that there are no unusual 
magnetic anomalies in the area and cite the fact that all compasses have natural 
magnetic variations. 
• Regardless of whom you believe, one thing remains certain: The Bermuda 
Triangle will undoubtedly continue to remain a source of mystery and intrigue.

ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY 
SYNDROME 
• There are multiple conspiracy theories floating around about the origin of AIDS. For 
the sake of space, we'll take a look at two of the more popular versions that have 
gained steam in recent years. 
• In the first version, conspiracy theorists claim that AIDS is a biological weapon that was 
created for the Pentagon. The theory goes on to claim that the Pentagon used it 
deliberately to control the population of lower-class citizens in the United States. 
• To back up their claim, theorists point to a paper trail that shows taxpayer money was 
set aside in 1977, for the creation of a biological weapon. The first reported cases of 
AIDS emerged in Africa in 1978. 
• In the second version, conspiracy theorists claim that AIDS was accidentally created by 
a scientist who was working on a polio vaccine using chimpanzee kidney cultures that 
were infected with SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus). Theorists say that as a result, a 
mutant variant of the disease – AIDS – was created. 
• Scientific consensus has rejected these and other conspiracy theories. The common 
belief among them is that AIDS originated in Africa during the 1930s.

Conspiracy Theory Quick Hit

  • 2. SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING • Can subliminal advertising make you purchase a product? • According to Howstuffworks.com, a subliminal message (meaning, below "limen," or our conscious perception threshold) is a "message embedded into images or sound meant to penetrate into our subconscious and influence our behavior." • The term was coined in 1957, by James Vicary, a market researcher who inserted messages into a movie that was showcased in a New Jersey theater. The carefully hidden message instructed moviegoers to drink Coca-Cola and eat popcorn.
  • 3. SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING • The use of subliminal advertising purportedly increased in the following years, and in 1973, author Wilson Bryan Key wrote a controversial book about the subject. The following year the Federal Communications Commission launched an investigation, during which they determined that subliminal advertising was "intended to be deceptive." • Following a series of hearings, the FCC banned the use of subliminal advertising. • Today, experts continue to disagree on how effective subliminal messages are. Several independent studies have been conducted, perhaps the most famous of which was done by a Canadian TV station, which flashed the message "Call now" to viewers during a broadcast. According to the station, the message had no effect on their viewers.
  • 4. ELECTRONIC BANKING • According to some conspiracy theorists, virtual money – credit and debit cards – was created by a "secret group" that plans to dominate the world. • The plan, according to theorists, is to completely eliminate paper and coin currency so that citizens rely solely on electronic banking. Once that goal is achieved, the "secret group" will cause a worldwide electronic blackout, which will simultaneously erase everyone's bank account information, thus creating chaos and panic. • The alleged motivation behind the plot is the reintroduction of slavery into the modern world. The benefactors vary – depending on which theory you subscribe to. • Again, this is another theory that experts refuse to waste their time acknowledging or debunking.
  • 5. CHEMTRAILS • Certainly you've noticed the white trail in the sky that is left behind by high-flying jets. Odds are you would be hard-pressed not to see one whenever you look up on a clear day. So what exactly is that trail? According to conspiracy theorists, it is a cocktail of chemicals and biological agents that are being deliberately sprayed for – depending on which theory you subscribe to – population control, weather control and biowarfare. • The trails have resulted in thousands of complaints to both the U.S. and Canadian governments. Both countries deny any wrongdoing.
  • 6. CHEMTRAILS • Investigations have been launched by numerous scientific communities, all of whom found no factual evidence to support the conspiracy theories. Instead, they claim the white trail is actually a condensation trail (contrail) that is a result of normal emissions from the aircraft engines' exhaust. • Regardless of the explanations, chemtrail conspiracy theories continue to persist on the Internet. • "If you try to pin these people down and refute things, it's, 'Well, you're just part of the conspiracy'," NASA scientist Patrick Minnis said in a recent interview with USA Today.
  • 8. ALIEN REPTILES • Chances are you have heard theories regarding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales; however you might not have heard the most recent claims – regarding the royal family's alleged shape-shifting abilities. • According to Christine Fitzgerald, a former confidante of Diana, the princess once told her that the royal family was made up reptilian aliens from a faraway galaxy. • Similarly, BBC reporter David Icke believes that humanity is under the control of alien reptiles. In an article titled "The Reptilian Connection," he writes: • "These 'gods' could not take over the planet openly because there are not enough of them, so they are doing it covertly by appearing human. Movies like They Live, The Arrival (the first, not the sequel), and the U.S. television series, V, tell the story of what is REALLY going on. I urge you to think about watching these movies to get up to speed if you are new to all of this."
  • 9. ALIEN REPTILES • You might find Icke's views a bit skewed; however he has managed to garner a large following in recent years and continues to give sold-out speaking engagements around the world. • Interestingly enough, there are several Web sites devoted to alien reptiles and the belief that some of us are extraterrestrial beings. One site in particular, abovetopsecret.com, even provides a step-by-step guide for determining if you are not of this planet. Indicators include the "feeling you don't belong here on this planet" and the possession of supernatural abilities, including "telepathy, clairvoyance, clairsentience super empathy." • Experts have refused to recognize or attempt to debunk the reptilian claims. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LT7sfDRJ 1w
  • 10. BERMUDA TRIANGLE • Is there a mysterious force that causes ships and planes to disappear in the Bermuda Triangle, or is this just another far-fetched theory? • Located in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, covers roughly 500,000 square miles of the ocean, with apexes in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. • There is no mistaking that a large number of vessels have gone missing in the area; however the explanation for those disappearances is where the conspiracies come into play. According to theorists, supernatural elements are responsible for the disappearances. Some say extraterrestrial beings are to blame, while others point to the mythical lost continent of Atlantis. • Adding more mystique to the incidents are reported compass variations, in which a compass will point to true north rather than magnetic north.
  • 11. BERMUDA TRIANGLE • The U.S. Coast Guard and other experts familiar with the triangle discount supernatural elements as being responsible. Instead, they point to the fact that the triangle is situated in a heavily traveled area of the ocean. They say that the number of incidents that occur there are no greater than those that occur in other parts of the ocean. They feel that any number of natural occurrences - including tropical storms and rogue waves – could be responsible. They also point to the possibility of pirates and mechanical failures. • In regard to the compass problems, experts say that there are no unusual magnetic anomalies in the area and cite the fact that all compasses have natural magnetic variations. • Regardless of whom you believe, one thing remains certain: The Bermuda Triangle will undoubtedly continue to remain a source of mystery and intrigue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xggkk95I4Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYajkHqqqak
  • 12. ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME • There are multiple conspiracy theories floating around about the origin of AIDS. For the sake of space, we'll take a look at two of the more popular versions that have gained steam in recent years. • In the first version, conspiracy theorists claim that AIDS is a biological weapon that was created for the Pentagon. The theory goes on to claim that the Pentagon used it deliberately to control the population of lower-class citizens in the United States. • To back up their claim, theorists point to a paper trail that shows taxpayer money was set aside in 1977, for the creation of a biological weapon. The first reported cases of AIDS emerged in Africa in 1978. • In the second version, conspiracy theorists claim that AIDS was accidentally created by a scientist who was working on a polio vaccine using chimpanzee kidney cultures that were infected with SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus). Theorists say that as a result, a mutant variant of the disease – AIDS – was created. • Scientific consensus has rejected these and other conspiracy theories. The common belief among them is that AIDS originated in Africa during the 1930s.
