Area 51

Hello! Welcome back to “You’d have to be Crazy to believe this”! This week’s conspiracy theory is out of this world! (It’s funny because it’s about space).  It’s area 51 and extraterrestrial visitors. Let’s look at the facts of this government conspiracy.

About 100 miles outside Las Vegas, Area 51 is a confirmed government-testing site. Many world war two area planes were built and tested there, so by all means it is a historic place. Area 51 was pretty mysterious to the public until 2013, when the Freedom of Information Act gave the public access to the record about what went on there, so while some of its illusive activates have been made public, there are still many mysterious thing happening there. But what made area 51 most famous was the Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash of 1947. It has been rumored that alien bodies were recovered from the crash and hidden away from the public. Is there any truth to these alien rumors? Let’s look at some evidence.

The searches

After the illusive Roswell crash, the government chalked it up to an air balloon that had come crashing down. Just an air balloon really warranted no need for concern from the public of the

government right? Well, after the crash the government launched massive searches with the military of the area in which the balloon had crashed. The searches went on for months and involved hundreds of military and government personnel covering hundreds of miles in two different states. Why such a large scale search for a simple air balloon?

Testimonies

There are several testimonies from people who worked in or with area 51 in or around the time of the crash. One example is Bill Uhouse. Bill was a mechanical engineer who worked at Area 51 between the years of 1966 – 1979. Bill claimed to have worked with a greyish alien like creature named “J Rod” Allegedly, J Rod was the captain of an alien ship that was being kept and studied at Area 51. But that’s not even the weirdest part. Bill claimed to have communicated with J Rod via telepathic technology that was being studied in the Area 51 labs.

Another testimony is that of Lieutenant Walter Haut. Lt. Haut wrote an affidavit that was released after his death stating that when he and his team were investigating and cleaning up the crashed Roswell UFO they recovered two alien bodies.  The he stated they were told to deny any claims of alien life coming from the press or public.

Glenn Dennis also claimed to have seen things following the Roswell crash. A nurse at the Roswell army airfield, Glenn claimed to have seen several doctors hunched over what appeared to be two deceased Alien bodies.

Perhaps the most compelling and frightening testimony is that of Boyd Bushmen. Boyd was a former Area 51 scientist and he gave a groundbreaking confession on his deathbed. He said he worked on reverse engineering alien technology for the government inside the Area 51 compound. He also claimed there were aliens secretly living at the base, helping the scientists. Some were friendly, some not so much. He even provided photos.

While a lot of this evidence may seem pretty convincing, a lot of the people who gave testimonies were never confirmed to have world at area 51. As for Boyd’s confession, a lot of people say his picture of the “aliens” looks a lot like a toy alien they sell for kids.

One of Hillary Clinton’s lesser-known campaign promises was to de-classify the Area 51 files. But since her election loss, we may never know what actually goes on there.

SO what do you guys think? Is Area 51 really an alien-testing center? Let me know in the comments! Until Next time!

ILLUMINATI: CONFIRMED

Hello! Welcome back to “You’d Have to be Crazy to Believe This”. I gave my blog little make over because, to be honest, it was ugly. But now I think it looks better but let me know! This Week I want to talk about one of the most Internet famous conspiracy theories. The Illuminati *cue dramatic music*! While #IlluminatiConfirmed is often used as a joke on twitter, what is the Illuminati? Is there any truth to it? Let’s look at the evidence.

The Illuminati is not entirely made up, at all. In fact, they have a long, rich history spanning back decades. In Germany, 1776, Adam Weishaupt,

wanted to join a group to promote what he considered to be the ideals of society: Secularism and Rational thought. He thought maybe he would join the free masons but one thing deterred him; the entry fee. Being a professor, Weishaupt could not afford the fee to enter the free masons, so he started his own group; The Order of the Illuminati.

As any 18^th century group, they had trouble with the church and eventually were banned from recruiting new members. But nonetheless, they prevailed, spreading across Europe and then disappearing underground. But are they still around today? Here is some evidence.

The New World Order

For the most part, it is rumored that the illuminati’s number one goal is to create a “New World Order”. There is a lot of debate about what this entails. Some say the elite 1% wants to put the remaining 99% into concentration camps. (Not sure how that would work because 1% vs. 99% doesn’t seem like great odds.) Others say that the illuminati aim to create one giant all encompassing unifying government for every country in the world. No word on what kind of government this would be though. The one piece of evidence the illuminati conspiracy theorist have as “proof” of the new world order is this clip of president George W. Bush, which I have to admit is pretty creepy.

Because you probably can’t play it he says, “We have the opportunity before us to forge, for ourselves and for suture generations, a new world order. A world the rule of law, not the rule of the jungle governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order”

He goes on to say more about how the united nations will govern all countries of the world and so on.

The Symbols

The illuminati have some pretty recognizable symbols. Most people know them from the pyramid on the back of dollar and their famous all Seeing Eye. But they have a few other symbols as well that can be found through out pop culture. One is simply covering one eye with the palm of your hand; another is touching your pointer finger to your thumb and extending your middle, ring and pinky fingers, and lastly the forming the famous triangle by touching your two thumbs and pointer fingers together. As you can see several celebrities have publicly made these symbols, causing illuminati rumors to swirl around them.

Clones

Ok this is a little wild so bare with me. Many illuminati theorist believe that the illuminati is slowly replacing Hollywood elites with clones who will do their bidding. While this may seem completely baseless, there is some evidence.  Many videos have surfaced of these alleged clones malfunctioning. Heres on of those videos of Beyoncé:

And another of Al Roker and Eminem:

So that’s the illuminati! What do you guys think? I personally do not find this one very convincing. But there are a lot of hardcore believers hour there. Well, Until Next time!

JFK vs CIA

Hello! Welcome back to “You’d Have to be Crazy to Believe This” This week’s conspiracy theory goes deep into the government’s darkest secrets. One of the biggest scandals in American history; the Kennedy assassination.  It has long been theorized that the government assassinated president John F. Kennedy, but is there any truth to that? Lets look at their argument.

On November 22^nd 1963, in Dallas, Texas, John F Kennedy, the 35^th president of the United States, was assassinated by a sniper while riding in a convertible through the city. The shooting was eventually attributed to Lee Harvey Oswald, who was arrested not long after. Americans were distraught. JFK was one of the most beloved presidents of all time. Who would want to harm him? Well many would say the Central Intelligence Agency or CIA assassinated the president over a difference in opinions on the Cold War. Kennedy wanted to take more of a diplomatic approach to the situation while the CIA had more of a take no prisoner’s attitude. Apparently their differences could not be solved as the CIA allegedly had him killed on that fateful November day. Here so some evidence to further that claim.

The Bullet.

The investigation into Lee Harvey Oswald, the shooter, concluded that he was a lone gunman. He was positioned on the 6^th floor of a near by skyscraper where he fired 3 shots, two of which hit the president, the third fatally hitting him in the head. Governor Connelly who was accompanying the president on his ride through the city was also hit in his chest and thigh. These 2 bullets struck through several layers of clothing and flesh. Plus the second bullet would have had to take an almost impossible course to have hit all the things it did. 

This has created the theory that there were two shooters, Lee Harvey Oswald and an additional CIA operative working from a separate angle.

Lee Harvey Oswald Assassination.

The man the public had to blame for the death of the beloved president was assassinated himself just two days after his heinous crime. The assailant was Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. Although, he claims that he acted out of anger for the unjust murder of the president, Jack Ruby has been linked to the CIA. He was a former gunrunner and had many ties to the CIA and its operatives. Was Ruby sent to hush Lee Harvey Oswald and cover the CIA’s tracks?

The Paper Trail.

The CIA was allegedly the first people to start a JFK conspiracy theory. A Miami based magazine published a theory that Lee Harvey Oswald was working with Fidel Castro and the Cubans. However, a higher up exec of the CIA paid that same Miami based magazine 4.8 million dollars a year. Also there are still thousands of private files regarding the Kennedy assassination. But after years of waiting this year the CIA will have to address the increasing pressure from the public to release the files. So hopefully by the end of the year we will have more information!

So what do you think? Did the government kill JFK? Let me know! Personally I think it was definitely not a simple assassination. I think there is more to the story. For more info check out this youth video that gave me a lot of facts! Until next time!
