Unbelievable Conspiracy Theories That Will Leave You Stunned

Chapter 1: The Absurdity of Conspiracy Theories
In my ongoing journey of hosting a comedy and conspiracy podcast, I’ve delved into the realm of conspiracy theories for a month. I initially feared that I might stumble upon ideas so persuasive that I would start to believe them. What if I found evidence that began to resonate? Would I fall into the trap of believing in a flat Earth simply because I haven't witnessed it from space?
Fortunately, the opposite occurred. My exploration into these theories has only fueled my skepticism. Some of the notions I encountered were so outrageous that I felt compelled to discuss their absurdity.
Section 1.1: Reptilian Control and the Hollow Earth Theory
One particularly bizarre theory I've known about for years is the idea that reptilian aliens govern the Earth from within its hollow core. This concept first came to my attention through an old website, Truthism, which claimed that our understanding of religion and science is merely a form of elite control.
According to Truthism, the elite are not the Illuminati or the New World Order, but rather a race of reptilian aliens known as the Anunnaki, who supposedly created humans as part of an experiment they continue to oversee. The theory also posits that many humans are “organic portals,” devoid of souls, and unknowingly serve to keep actual humans in check.
A quote from Truthism illustrates its bizarre logic: “Imagine having to buy an entire pizza restaurant just to order a pizza — an absurdity indeed.”
The theory expands into the notion of a Hollow Earth, filled with an advanced civilization that remains unaware of our existence. Among the more peculiar claims are that the universe was birthed by Darkness, the sun is a spinning cube, and that the Anunnaki restarted time in 2008 to combat Darkness.
This theory, while ridiculous, is just the beginning.
Chapter 2: The Ice Bucket Challenge: A Dark Ritual?
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, a viral campaign meant to raise awareness, was scrutinized by some who labeled it a Satanic ritual. Critics argue that sensationalized fads do little to educate participants about the cause they support.
One writer, Selena Owens, expressed skepticism about the challenge, citing the untimely death of one of its founders as a troubling sign. Her arguments took a bizarre turn when she suggested that the act of dousing oneself in ice water was akin to a ritualistic baptism, linking it to celebrities like Oprah Winfrey.
Section 2.1: The Queen and Human Flesh
Among the most shocking theories is the claim that Queen Elizabeth II consumes human flesh to maintain her vigor. This notion stems from a mix of historical practices of "corpse medicine" and sensationalist interpretations of her lifestyle.
In 1973, philosopher Hubert Humdinger claimed that the Queen's vitality could only be explained by her consumption of human flesh. Furthermore, reports of a serviceman discovering flayed meat in her freezer only added to the bizarre narrative.
Theories suggest that research into young blood's rejuvenating properties might also explain this claim. However, it’s far more likely that the Queen's longevity is a result of her privileged lifestyle.
As I reflect on these theories, it becomes clear that people will concoct conspiracies around nearly anything. The more ludicrous the theory, the more entertaining it tends to be.
