Description
This book details 20 top conspiracy theories, going briefly into their history, the beliefs surrounding them, and the reasons for them. You will learn that some believe that the government is releasing toxic chemicals into the air to control the weather, that the fluoride the government puts into our water is making us easier to control. You'll read about the belief that there is a secret shadow government that is actually controlling the world, and that wants more control. You'll be introduced to the idea that there are lizard people walking among us, controlling us from the inside out, and the idea that aliens have landed on our soil and are being hidden by the government. While these theories may seem out there at first glance, there are many who believe them and feel they have good reason to. Knowledge is power, and you may find that you resonate with a theory in this book, and may find that your eyes have been open and the world has been expanded to you in ways you thought impossible.
