- The theory that the lunar landing was fake.
- Various 9/11 conspiracy theories.
- The JFK assassination conpsiracy theory.
- The Vast right-wing conspiracy theory of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
- The theory that a neocon cabal controls the Bush Administration and is responsible for the War in Iraq.
- The theory that the Iraq War was started by Big Oil in order to gain access to cheap petroleum.
