Western Conspiracy Theoretical Analysis

What if what you had been told your whole life was a lie? How would you feel if everything reported about a terrorist attack or a shooting was actually a conspiracy by the United States? What is a conspiracy? According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a conspiracy is “a secret plan made by two or more people that is harmful or illegal”. There are so many conspiracy theories out there in the world starting as early as the 1800s. These theories range from scientific, terrorist, criminal, political, economic and business, and even religious conspiracies. The two conspiracy theories that I am talking about is the attack that changed the United States, as we knew it, the one that we believed was a terrorist attack, also known as 9/11, and the Sandy Hook shooting. There are multiple reasons that lead me to consider these two attacks to be something more than a terrorist and criminal attack. The reasons are because the timelines do not add up, there are too many inconsistencies, and the benefits are too great.

Brian Keeley’s short essay, “Of Conspiracy Theories” discusses conspiracy theories and their value in an epistemological context. Keeley defines a conspiracy theory as “a proposed explanation of some historical event (or events) in terms of the significant causal agency of a relatively small group of persons-the conspirators-acting in secret (Keeley 1999, pg. 116).” Keeley seeks to answer the question of why conspiracy theories are unwarranted. His interest in the warrant of conspiracy theories focuses on ¬the unfalsifiability of conspiracy theories and how conspiracy theories are founded upon an extraordinarily large amount of skepticism. In section III, Keely discusses what a conspiracy theory is, and contends that there is no grounds for

Throughout history, people have attempted to come up with explanations to make sense of events which could not be comprehend, such explanations are commonly known as conspiracy theories. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the official definition of conspiracy theory  is “a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators.” These theories can range from minor events, to large scale terrorist attacks. A few well known theories include, Bill Clinton caused 9/11, the Earth is flat, and a reptilian race is planning to take over the Earth. Conspiracy theories can inflict various amount of damage, but it dependent on the conspiracy theory context. (Mckay).  In an

In May of 2011 a video by the National Inflation Association (N.I.A) surfaced on YouTube gathering over two million views and opening the eyes of people to the American college system.  According to the producers of this video, "College is the largest scam in US history!" Is college a worth-while investment? Is it just a way for the government to stimulate the economy? Are college degrees really a necessity in performing on the job? All of these questions have been asked and answered with both yes and no. Four writers with different views on this matter have written up articles concerning this issue. While

People come up with crazy ideas all the time, many of which are torn apart by scientific evidence. However, some ideas are crafted so precisely and detailed; they are accepted as fact by millions of people. These alternatives to accepted history are known as Conspiracy Theories, and the people who create them are of a special breed. It is difficult to imagine having the time and passion to craft an alternative reason behind many of the world’s events and tragedies, but these people are born to do so. There is a specific recipe for such a person, a carefully crafted powerful concoction that breeds the hatred for government and the quest for the “truth”. Such people have been around for thousands of years,

Over the years there have been many occurrences that have led to many suspicious citizens that do not believe the answers that they receive which has led to the creation of conspiracy theories, and many of them. Some of them make sense and provide factual information and support yet others are more abstract and do not contain much proof and if they do contain proof it is quickly deemed as false. In some cases some conspiracy theories turn out to be the truth. The definition of a conspiracy theory is an explanatory hypothesis that accuses a person or group of people of planning and or covering up major events that have occurred throughout history.

Have you ever wondered how things would turn out in the United States if certain situations did or didn’t happen? Imagine what the United States economy would be like if 9/11 didn’t happen the day it did, John F. Kennedy were never assassinated, and AIDS were actually created by the CIA. All of these conspiracy topics and more contain a mass amount of information. If they are indeed true, would we have more freedom as citizens or would our economy come crashing down? Some conspiracies of the United States have shaped citizen behavior and affected our economical and future with complete freedom forever.

“Have you heard of the conspiracy of 9/11, Mom? We’re learning about the religion of Islam in World History and today we discussed one time terrorists were planning on attacking the Twin towers on September 9, 2011. Apparently, some guy and no one know who it was but the FBI are looking into it. This guy exposed some dude by the name of Osama bin Laden and his group of followers before they could have attacked. Is it true?” 12-year-old Lucy Banker asked her mother.

With the evidence stated before, the researcher believes, 9/11 was a cover up planned from the start that the United States Government made up as an excuse to join the war in the Middle East. Along with government involvement they also blamed the attacks on a terrorist group. The researcher also believes that when an official government agency blames their doing on a terrorist are they any better than this person? The evidence that has been gathered for this topic shows, there is more to 9/11 than what is being told. The incriminating evidence showed the researcher and many other researchers that a controlled substance was used for the demolition of the towers.

ii. (9/11): Many people believe the illuminati was behind 9/11. They believe Islam is where the pure religion is. They believe Muslims are the best religion and want people to turn on them, so they framed the muslims on 9/11, so Americans would not like them.

The central idea of my concentration is conspiracies in America. While exploring my concentration I have worked with various combinations like newspaper and colored pencil, ink and acrylic, and colored pencil and soft pastel. I enjoyed seeing how I could coney my message while also keeping the message pleasing to the eye. Throughout the year I got to see my work change from crude conspiracies to political posters and work clearly changed as time went on.

To most a fairy tale, to some an interesting topic of discussion, however, to a small population, 5 % to be exact, Government conspiracy does exist. How, you might ask, do I intend to prove that indeed government conspiracy is real? I do not intend to prove it. In fact I only intend to inform you of its ever growing ploy of world domination, capitalism and control and open your mind to the idea that government conspiracy is out there. Throughout history as it is known to repeat itself, I will show facts that support this “theory” and dismiss the legendary lies we have been taught to believe through a system known as memetics.

Misconceptions are the base of any generalization, ignorant impressions and externalized opinions. In the essay “To Any Would Be Terrorist”, Shihab Nye expresses her preoccupation and “rational anger” towards the repercussions of the 9/11 attack, assuming that the authors of those events will read and be touched by the facts and arguments she explains throughout the text. Nye writes: “I beg you, as your distant Arab cousin, as your American neighbor, listen to me. Our hearts are broken, as yours may also feel broken in some ways we can’t understand, unless you tell us in words” (173). Lamentably, Nye fails to recognize the context in which the terrorists committed the attack, since she can only try to understand the “Arab tragedy” experience

Literature published through time have shaped the societies. It decided how a certain society should feel, think and act. Clandestinely, literature sneaked into the lives of people, influencing the subconscious and framing the society. This research aims to discuss Muslim Americans’ struggle in the aftermath of 9\11, focusing on the social and political aspects. Thus, forming a better understanding of the Muslim Americans’ image in literature to be able to debunk any misunderstandings. In the presented research, the novel The Submission will be analyzed. The summary and background of the novel will form the first chapter. The second chapter will analyze the social struggle. The third and final chapter will analyze the political struggle.

It can be said that the definition of a conspiracy theory is common knowledge; however, for this essay, this is the definition in layman’s terms: “conspiracy theory refers to a narrative
