As finals approach, I think we can all use a good laugh. I've been distracting myself from stress by looking up ridiculous conspiracy theories. Here are a few that are truly absurd -- I mean totally scientific and possibly true!
1. Robert Kardashian Isn't Dead
AND, he's Ted Cruz. Yes, people believe that Robert Kardashian wanted to escape the crazy women in his family so he faked his death and became politician Ted Cruz. The theory is that he wanted a political career but didn't feel he could do it with the attachment of the Kardashian women. There's really no evidence here except that the two men look alike? And does this mean Robert Kardashian is also the Zodiac Killer?
2. The Clintons
Are they Satan worshipers? Are they serial killers? Are they running an underground pedophile sex ring #pizzagate? Honestly I could write an entire article just about all the conspiracy theories around the Clinton family.
There was a theory that Bill & Hillary were responsible for more than 50 deaths of their associates. This was ridiculous as many of the deaths were clearly closed and not suspicious at all. The unsolved murder of Seth Rich in 2016 only helped to promote this theory. There was also a conspiracy theory circulating that they were members of the Church of Satan. Chelsea Clinton mocked this theory on twitter, actually tweeting the Church of Satan saying "It's been so long! Happy New Year".
The biggest conspiracy about the Clintons was #pizzagate. There was a conspiracy that the Clinton family and many other Democratic Party figures were connected to a pizza restaurant that was running an illegal child-sex ring for pedophiles. This theory was so ridiculous, even Fox News debunked it.
3. Reptiles Rule Us
Put on your tinfoil hat because this one is ridiculous. Apparently, there are extraterrestrial reptilian humanoids among us, and they are our leaders. What is the evidence? People have picked apart clips and photos of politicians and CEOs where they look funny or make a weird face, claiming that this is evidence that they're really reptilian aliens. Most people recognize this theory as a joke but there are some who genuinely think it's society's dark truth.
4. JFK Assassination
Everyone agrees that JFK was assassinated on November 22, 1963, but not everyone believes the case has been solved. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the murder and it was decided that he acted alone. This answer didn't satisfy most Americans. Some of the popular theories say that the CIA or VP Lyndon Johnson or the KGB or mobsters were involved. Only 32% of Americans believe Oswald did it and acted alone.
5. Adam Sandler Can Predict The Future
Apparently the comedian predicted 5 different tragedies way before they happened, so naturally he is psychic. He said that something dark was coming to Waco in his stand-up act BEFORE the 1993 tragedy. Sandler also said a cryptic poetic line in a movie about a year before the infamous deadly car crash that killed Princess Diana that seems to indicate he predicted it. Sandler also supposedly predicted the BP oil spill 5 years in advance, guessed the casualty count in Haiti's Earthquake, and predicted the disappearing Malaysia flight 21 years before it happened. That's pretty solid evidence to me. If I ever meet him, I'm definitely asking about the following day's lottery numbers.
