The 10 Most Absurd Conspiracies Of All Time

Kentucky Fried Chicken has a secret ingredient that causes impotence in black men

There was a rumor that Colonel Sanders left a percentage of his fortune to the KKK and they were now running the chicken chain. Since it's a secret recipe, they could put a hidden ingredient that would cause impotence in black men and thus wipe out the race. Since KFC is now owned by an African American, this is highly unlikely.

AIDS was a creation of the government

In addition to several Kanye West lyrics that support this theory, the thought is that the government administered AIDS in order to thin out the lower income population. Those who support this theory point out that, in 1977, the government set aside money for creating a biological weapon and, in 1978, the first case of AIDS was reported in Africa.

Alien Reptile Creatures are Controlling the World

Would you believe that George Bush, Bill Clinton, and the Royal Family are actually relatives to a giant blood-drinking reptile alien from space? BBC reporter David Icke certainly does. He says that most of the Royal Family can also shapeshift and that September 11th was a reptilian conspiracy put in place to enslave humanity since Bush is a servant of the reptiles.

Paul McCartney is dead and what we see now is a lookalike

The post-1966 Beatles album covers, lyrics, and backmasking are supposed to give clues to McCartney's death, which they claim took place in late 1966 as a result of a car accident. The rumor died off in 1970 when McCartney appeared on the cover of Newsweek, but that didn't stop conspiracy theorists. They believe that the lead singer of Wings was actually a lookalike since the real McCartney was dead.

The Nazis had a secret moon base

Of all the Hitler conspiracies, this may be the most insane. According to some, the Nazis had mastered space exploration by 1942 and had a headquarters on the moon. Did I mention the other part of this theory is that they also had contacted and made an allegiance with alien races? I'd say highly unlikely.

Jet trails are actually chemicals to control the weather and population

Although no proof has ever been produced to support this theory, some believe that the trail jets leave behind in the air is actually chemicals used by the government to thin out the population or to change the weather. Again, this has been proven multiple times to be false, but that doesn't stop certain people from believing it to be true.

There are secret messages in the Wingdings font

After September 11th, this gained a lot of attention. If you type "Q33NY" in Wingdings it makes an airplane flying towards two buildings with a skull & crossbones and a Star of David. NY obviously standing for New York City and Q33 was apparently the designation of one of the aircrafts. There are multiple other combinations of Wingdings that spell out "ominous" messages but this is definitely the most popular theory.

Barcodes are the tool of Satan

They're not just a series of lines and numbers, but instead a tool of the devil. Embedded into every barcode is the numbers 666 so that Satan can subconsciously invade the homes and minds of everyone in the world. If it's true, it's not working very well.
