Conspiracy Theories

I have friends who believe in one or more of the following:

Which ones do you agree with and which ones would you add to the list?

1) Kennedy wasn't assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald.
2) Tupac is still alive.
3) The US moon landing never happened.
4) 9/11 reported facts are different than the actual events that transpired.
5) Elvis is still alive
6) A select secret organization runs the country. (Trilateral Commission, Illuminati, etc.)
7) Our country's founding methodology (currency, city planning, etc) was formed by the Masons.
8) Fidel Casto betrayed Che....leading to Che's death in Bolivia by the CIA.
9) Drugs were purposefully sent by the US gov't to the inner cities to erode the fabric of those communities.
10) There is a cheap energy source out there, that the US oil companies don't want you to find, in order to monopolize profits.
11) Bush deliberately tanked the economy as one more 'screw-you' to John McCain (For his history of animosity, go back to the 2000 Republican primaries where Bush's team suggested McCain was mentally unfit to lead the country because he had been a POW).
12) That there are aliens.
13) That there are aliens among us.
14) That KFC's secret recipe is actually only trans-fats.
15) That much of our historical technological innovations have come from the bad trifecta of porn, the military, and casinos.
16) Found it ironic that Bush would criticize Saddam Hussein for hiding in a hole when he himself hid in a 'hole' the day of 9/11. What is the difference between an underground bunker and a hole?
17) Think T.V. is sending people subliminal messages.
18) That Russia is still poisoning people, assassinating people and generally still acting like a bully around the world. Cold War revived?
19) Believe we are living in the Matrix.
20) Believe it is only a matter of time before the Machines take over.

I agree with numbers 1, 10, 16, 17, & 18. I've often wondered about #12. If there are aliens out there, then Jesus would've had to die for them, too.

I would add: A cure for cancer (and/or other diseases) has been discovered, but has been kept secret because of the money making pharmeceutical companies who would suffer as a result.

I've heard:
That the US, Canada and Mexico are currently developing the Amero, the North American currency. One step closer to the one-world government.

Hm.
I don't believe (9) but it sort of also wouldn't surprise me. Also
(12) [can't really rule it out, as a scientist :)] but not (13)
(17) but not in the way that most people think.
(18) but the same prolly goes for the US.

Also, (20) is probably true in some sense.

What is this about you guys passing through Amsterdam!?

I agree with the comment Melanie made - about a cure for cancer...I would add there is also a cure for deep vein thrombosis and a myriad of other blood related illnesses and that open heart surgery, unless under extreme situations, is overused. Chelation Therapy and it's inexpensive. There is also a known cure for aids known as Oxygen therapy (but only for 1st stages.) I would further that by saying that Pharmeceutical companies partner with medical systems to promote the use of drugs that the FDA has approved (without knowing long and even sometimes short term affects) in order to sustain the billion+ dollar a year industry.
