There have always been more than enough lies in the world. As a result, some are skeptical about what governments and the media tell them, while others see some background in a number of events and social phenomena. In our roundup of 10 events from different years that many consider conspiracy theories.

1. Death of Princess Diana

Princess Diana of Wales was allegedly killed by the royal family to avoid further scandal (Diana was the mother of the future head of the Church of England and Dodi Fayed was a Muslim). Although no evidence has been found of a conspiracy to murder Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed in 1997, speculation continues. The main theory is that the royal family did not want to tarnish their name, and that Diana's relationship with Fayed was a threat to the monarchy.

2. Landing on the moon

Conspiracy theorists claim that the Apollo moon landing was rigged. Everyone knows the phrase "One small step for a man, but a giant leap for all mankind", which was said by Neil Armstrong, who became the first man to set foot on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969. However, not everyone believes this, believing that the moon landing was a NASA hoax. This is proved by the fact that the technologies of that time were insufficient for landing on the moon, as well as various inconsistencies in photographs taken on the lunar surface.

3. Pearl Harbor

Some people argue that President Franklin Roosevelt knew in advance of the Japanese attack on the US Navy base in Hawaii in December 1941 and decided not to alert the base commanders. Allegedly, Roosevelt wanted to provoke Hitler to declare war on the United States, since the American public and Congress were opposed to entering the war in Europe.

4. MK-ULTRA project

Conspiracy supporters believe the CIA was conducting mind control experiments. MK-ULTRA was the code name for the Science Intelligence Agency's Mind Control and Chemical Drugs Research Program. The project began in the early 1950s and lasted until the late 1960s. MK-ULTRA experimented with American citizens using a variety of drugs, electrodes, hypnosis, verbal and sexual abuse, and torture.

5. The assassination of John F. Kennedy

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy took place on Friday 22 November 1963. He was mortally wounded by a gunshot while driving a motorcade through Dallas, Texas. A yearlong investigation concluded that the president was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald. However, conspiracy theorists argue that there were more than one hitmen, which is why Lee Harvey Oswald is not the only one responsible for the assassination of the president. Some believe that Oswald was either a scapegoat or worked for the FBI, KGB, or the Mafia.

6. Roswell, New Mexico

The first rumors that an unidentified flying object had fallen near Roswell, New Mexico appeared on July 7, 1947. In 1947, a press release from the Roswell Air Force Base was issued stating that "a flying disc had been removed from a ranch in New Mexico." It was also claimed that unidentified bodies were found at the crash site. After that, rumors began to spread that the US government was keeping information about aliens and UFOs a secret from the public.

7. New world order

It is believed that the secret community entered into a conspiracy to rule over humanity. Allegedly secret powerful groups (the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Club and others) intend to create a single world government and stand at its head. To achieve their goal, these people use finance, social engineering, mind control, and fear-based propaganda. Presumably, these powerful groups control global health, finance, education, food, politics, media, finance, and the military-industrial complex. Organizations such as the World Bank, European Union, IMF, United Nations and NATO were founded by members of the New World Order organization.

8. AIDS

Some argue that the AIDS virus was artificially engineered through genetic engineering. According to Dr. William Campbell Douglas, the deadly HIV virus was genetically engineered and was developed in 1974 by the World Health Organization. Dr. Douglas claims that this was a cold-blooded attempt to create a killer virus, which was then successfully experimented with in Africa.

9. Shakespeare's conspiracy

Conspiracy theorists believe that the greatest English-speaking writer William Shakespeare did not actually write his plays, but was used as a screen for the true personality of the genius poet. Since there is very little historical information about Shakespeare, theorists argue that the actor could not have had sufficient education to write works with such deep meaning. It is speculated that the authors could have been Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, William Stanley (6th Earl of Derby) and Edward de Vere (17th Earl of Oxford).

10. Holocaust

Some scholars and researchers believe that the Holocaust is a complete hoax. Allegedly, the Nazis never killed more than 6 million Jews during World War II, but, on the contrary, colluded with Jews to advance their own interests, as well as to create Israel. Theorists argue that most of the Jews died in the concentration camp from hunger, and not because of the Nazi policy of exterminating Jews.
