The intense secrecy surrounding the base has made it the frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central component of unidentified flying object (UFO) folklore.[5][6] It has never been declared a secret base, but all research and occurrences in Area 51 are Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI).[7] The CIA publicly acknowledged the base's existence on June 25, 2013, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in 2005 and declassified documents detailing its history and purpose.[8]
True Conspiracy Theories Cracked Feet
Bill Gates was "very surprised" when he and Dr. Anthony Fauci became the targets of "crazy" and "evil" conspiracy theories related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Gates told Reuters on Wednesday.
The billionaire Microsoft co-founder and White House advisor Fauci, the nation's top infectious diseases expert, have been frequent targets for baseless coronavirus conspiracy theories, including claims that falsely link the pair to the coronavirus' origins in some way or another. Others have falsely claimed that Gates planned to use Covid-19 vaccines to implant monitoring microchips in billions of people.
Various conspiracy theories targeting Gates, Fauci and others have frequently circulated online, especially on social media, where some platforms took steps to remove posts that spread misinformation.
In October, Gates told CNBC that he was concerned that baseless conspiracy theories about himself and Fauci could be harmful to the U.S. coronavirus response if they chipped away at people's trust in public health strategies, such as the rollout of Covid vaccines.
Though Curran was nervous about taking on someone whose political achievements he admired (especially since there continue to be numerous conspiracy theories about the accident, including that a third person was in the car), he felt the task to be a necessary one.
Many believers of this theory come from groups of conspiracy theorists who believe in many other conspiracy theories. When people believe one crazy conspiracy theory it becomes easier and easier for them to believe in more theories, because once someone has accepted the possibility of one irrational belief then it is easier to rationalize other ones. Social influences that could help them sustain this belief come from the abundance of science fiction novels, movies, and TV shows which open people up to the possibility of other worldly creatures that they may not have had before.
This theory is probably one of the most extreme and far out conspiracy theories that exist and it seems impossible for people to actually believe in something like this, but such an incredibly large amount of people do. This can be explained by some cognitive contributions such as cognitive dissonance and confirmation bias, but it seems that these people since they many of them also believe in many other conspiracy theories it seems like they have an extreme sense of paranoia about the world and the government that could be caused by some underlying psychological problem.
Seventy-five miles north of Las Vegas sits a land parcel in the middle of the desert. Called Area 51, the parcel is just outside of the abandoned Nevada Test and Training Range, where more than 100 atmospheric bomb tests were conducted in the 1950s. Officially, the U.S. government has never acknowledged the existence of Area 51. Unofficially, it has become a place associated with conspiracy theories, alien landings and tiny spaceships.
The secrecy surrounding Area 51 has made it fertile ground for conspiracy theories, including one about a UFO cover-up and another about the moon landing having never happened. Jacobsen addresses these conspiracy theories in the book and speculates about what led to them. She says her book is based on interviews with 74 individuals with rare firsthand knowledge of the secret base. Thirty-two of the people she interviewed lived and worked at Area 51.
Some conspiracy theorists believe that the company's silence was a sign of a coverup, and that the post-disaster retrofitting of Titanic's sister ships proves Harland & Wolff knew its ship was flawed. But most historians come to a different conclusion. "The fact that the ship broke up on the surface does not mean she was weak," says Long. When 38,000 tons of water filled its bow, pushing the stern up even 11 degrees out of the water, the ship was loaded beyond its capacity and cracked in two.
Gertrude really doesn't want to talk to Ophelia, but it looks like she has to. Seems like Ophelia's gone totally nuts. She's been wandering around the palace singing old songs and blathering on about conspiracy theories. She's not making a lot of sense, but listeners who want to think naughty things are able to weave the nonsense together into some gossipy messages. Someone should definitely put an end to this. And that someone is apparently Gertrude, who feels so guilty about her own crimes that she's kind of nervous about talking to Ophelia.
Over the years, this alleged account made it to the internet where charlatans, shysters and hucksters have teamed with conspiracy theorists and other curious folks who formed wild theories about feral humans in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park regarding what really happened to Dennis Lloyd Martin.
Research also suggests that the following factors are associated with increased adherence to COVID-19 PHMs: older age, female gender, higher trust in government and science, higher perceived risk of COVID-19, greater use of traditional news media, higher COVID-19 knowledge, increased anxiety, and perceived self-efficacy to adopt public health measures.Reference 153Reference 154 In contrast, non-adherence to PHMs has been shown to be associated with living in a rural area, suffering from depression, belief in conspiracy theories, psychological reactance (i.e., response to the perceived or real threat or loss of a behavioural freedom), narcissism, strong support for personal freedom, and smoking.Reference 154Reference 155Reference 156Reference 157Reference 158Reference 159 2ff7e9595c
