Conspiracy theories



In our film we have decided to include popular conspiracy theories to help with the mystery/ thriller aspect of the film and to play on peoples real life fears. To do this I looked at multiple different websites listing conspiracy theories. 














One conspiracy theory I liked was that of MK-ULTRA. MK-ULTRA was the code name for an American Government research program that focused on mind control and chemical interrogation. They tried to achieve mind control through cruel acts such as electronics, hypnosis, sensory deprivation and verbal and sexual abuse. This programme turned out to be actually true and started in the 1950’s. It was finally brought to public attention in 1975 and all of the files were destroyed in 1973. Even though the CIA has claimed that MK-ULTRA and any other similar programme had been abandoned, many people believe this to be untrue. Conspiracy theorists also believe that many so called “black-ops” were committed under the influence of MK-ULTRA mind control such as the assassination of Robert Kennedy. Also it is believed that Jonestown, the location of the mass suicide committed by the members of the Jim Jones cult and peoples temple, was a test site for MK-ULTRA medical experiment.















Another popular conspiracy theory is that the AIDs virus was created in a lab, more specifically by the World Health Organisation in 1974. This theory was started by DR William Campbell Douglass. He believed that it was a “cold-blooded attempt to create a killer virus” and that it was used in a successful experiment in Africa. Other people think it might have been created by the CIA or the KGB instead of WHO as a means to reduce the world’s population.















Some Americans believe that FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) own 500,000 plastic coffins that are stacked in a field just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Because of this some believe that they have also set up multiple concentration camps across the US in preparation for the imposition of martial law which could lead to the killing of millions of Americans. People suggest that they’ll use the financial crisis to justify the imposition of the police state.















Located in Alaska, over two hundred miles from Anchorage, is the Pentagons High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (also known as HAARP). This is an enormous experiment designed to heat the ionosphere with radio waves. However conspiracy theorists believe that it is actually a weapon that takes down aircraft and missiles by lifting parts of the atmosphere. Other theories of its true purpose include that it is for causing earthquakes, or a huge weather modification machine. On the weather modification front HAARP has been blamed for the 2008 Chinese, 2010 Haitian, March 2011 Japanese earthquakes and the 2014 southeast Europe floods. Richard Hoagland, an American author and well known conspiracy theorist, believes that HAARP is being used to prevent the planet from tipping over. 

















Chemtrails is the theory that governments put chemicals in the contrails left behind by planes. Contrails are left behind planes because aircraft fuel is primarily made of hydrocarbons, which gives off carbon dioxide and water vapour as its main combustion products. Contrails are formed when the hot exhaust gasses hit low pressure cool air and the water quickly freezes forming a white haze of microscopic ice crystals. This process is very similar to that of cloud formation and contrails are essentially elongated clouds. However many believe that the government is spraying chemicals and biological agents from the back of planes causing contrails, or chemtrails, to form. There are many reasons that the government theoretically does this such as; genocide, population control, administration of drugs for mind control or pacification, suppression of human evolution, to combat and control climate change, or to mask the appearance of Planet X/Nibiru .













David Icke may be known for his past football career but has more recently been popular for his conspiracy theory where he claims that almost everyone that has ever been in power ever is actually a secret evil lizard person from the fourth dimension.
