There are several Kennedys holding elective office. One in particular would like to become the U.S. President in the not so far off future.

Alien autopsy​

The alien autopsy is a 17-minute black-and-white film supposedly depicting a secret medical examination or autopsy of an alien by the United States military.[1] It was released in 1995 by London-based entrepreneur Ray Santilli. He presented it as an authentic autopsy on the body of an alien recovered from the 1947 crash of a "flying disc" near Roswell, New Mexico. The film footage was allegedly supplied to him by a retired military cameraman who wished to remain anonymous.[1]

In 2006, Santilli admitted the film was not authentic but rather a staged reconstruction of footage he claimed to have viewed in 1992, but which had deteriorated and become unusable by the time he made his film. He claimed that a few frames from the original were embedded in his film, but he never specified which ones. The existence of an original filmstrip of the alleged autopsy has never been independently verified.

I know now it was fake...but back then I wanted to believe in UFO's and advanced beings from far away.

I'm not sure the "fake moon landing" theory is a conspiracy. I couldn't figure out why NASA "conspired" to fake the moon landing. But you gotta admit if they 'faked it', they did a good job .

That's probably a conspiracy that came about because of the speculation that Yuri Gagarin wasn't the first Russian to orbit the earth. Proponents of the Lost Cosmonauts theory argue that the Soviet Union attempted to launch human spaceflights before Yuri Gagarin's first spaceflight, and that cosmonauts onboard died in those attempts.

That was a hot potato in the 60's following Gagarin's historic flight. The secrecy of the then Soviet Union didn't help either.

One conspiracy in the UK that surfaces every now and again is that Shakespeare wasn't the author of the plays and sonnets accredited to him. That all started about 250 years ago when one, James Wilmot a reverend and a literary scholar, set out to write a comprehensive biography of Shakespeare, back in 1781. Wilmot could find no paper trail, no notes, scribblings or papers, so he concluded that Shakespeare's work was that of Francis Bacon. "Where are the books? You can't be a scholar of that depth and not have any books in your home," Wilmot argues. "He never had any correspondence with his contemporaries, he never was shown to be present at any major event, the coronation of James or any of that stuff. I think the evidence that he was not the author is beyond a reasonable doubt."

The conspiracy has rolled on ever since. Over time, more and more celebrities have flocked to the anti-Stratfordian theory: Freud, Whitman, Malcolm X, Helen Keller, Orson Welles, Sir Derek Jacobi. And it’s not hard to understand why: It’s a romantic, glamorous, exciting theory filled with secret conspiracies.

What academics argue is that Shakespeare was no scholar, but if you run an analogy, for example, Sean Connery. Connery was working as a delivery boy at the age of nine, left school at thirteen, had no higher education and became one of the greatest actors in Hollywood. Will people be saying, in centuries from now, "Yeah right?"
 
The details of the Warren Commission are sealed because it was believed that Jackie had JFK murdered because she was fed up with his philandering. Don't ask me how I know.

If you're going to have someone murdered, I wouldn't recommend having it done by a sniper while you're riding together in a car -- too much chance of him missing JFK and hitting you. As it was she got his blood and brains all over herself.
 
You can string together facts to come up with any conspiracy theory. Here is an example from my life. I traveled to many places in the world:
Shortly after I visited the Minster in York, England it was hit by lightning
I flew on TWA flight 800 a week before it blew up
I was in Yemen before the USS Cole was blown up
I was in Luxor, Egypt before the terrorists shot up the temple
There is no rhyme or reason to tie these events together

Don't be surprised when you get a visit soon. I think you have revealed yourself, the mastermind behind so much!
 
One of the absolutely craziest conspiracy theories contends that the USA played a major role in the collapse of the 9/11 twin towers. The conspiracy theorists say that bombs brought down the twin towers NOT the two passenger jets.
If you stop for a moment to think about this, you will see how wacky it is.
You would have to have foreknowledge of the hijackings AND their targets so you could plant bombs.

The crux of that conspiracy theory states that the jet fuel could not have melted the steel beams. True enough, BUT it is not necessary to melt steel. All that is necessary is that those steel trusses are heated to a weakening point. Once weakened, collapse is inevitable.

Notice how thin those steel trusses are. normally quite strong BUT the architect never imagined that they would be subjected to burning jet fuel.

Ah, but that was, in fact, a part of the brilliant plan to shield her from blame. And it worked!

Or so I'm told.
