    Reading 1:

    Conspiracy Theories and HoaxesBy Alicia Arriz

    November, 2007

    Can you be easily deceived? Currently, the whole world seems rife with conspiracy theories. The idea

    that the world population is manipulated by a powerful group of elitists may not be farfetched. The terms

    Conspiracy theory and hoaxseem to refer to big lies, to diversions of the truth. A conspiracy is a secret

    plot to carry out some deed against a rival by a few insiders. Unless someone from the inside leaks the plans

    or the plot is somehow discovered, by definition, conspiracies are not known until after the fact. Hence, they

    are vulnerable as soon as they are exposed.

    A conspiracy theory is a perception of a possible conspiracy. It may be either true or false. A conspirac

    theory remains a theory until it is exposed and proven factual. A hoax, on the other hand, is just an attempt to

    trick an audience into believing that something false is real. It has been claimed that major events in history

    have been orchestrated by conspirators who manipulate political happenings from behind the scenes. Some

    examples of these beliefs are: that AIDS was created to rid the world of the Black race; the recent tsunami in

    Vocabulary before the reading.

    To deceive: implies imposing a false idea or belief that causes

    ignorance, bewilderment, or helplessness

    Mainstream media: a prevailing current or direction of activity

    or influence as the Media

    Far-fetched: unlikely to be true, highly improbable, very

    difficult to believe.

    Bizarre: strikingly out of the ordinary, odd, extravagant, or

    eccentric, involving sensational contrasts or incongruities.

    To be biased: prejudiced, favoring one person or side over

    another.

    Asia was caused by Israel and the U.S. setting off a nuclear bomb on the ocean floor; the Iraq War was

    concocted at the presidents Crawford Ranch to help his oil buddies; the U.S. government is tampering the

    weather by shifting the jet streams in Alaska with secret giant jet fans. These theories are not just being

    fostered by the unwashed masses, but often by well-placed, highly-educated men and women.

    A common example of a popular conspiracy theory is the Moon Landing. 40 years after the first moon

    landing, we still hear that putting a man on the moon in 1969 has been the greatest hoax everorchestrated by

    the American Government in order to win the space war against the Soviet Union. In other words, the entire

    human landing program was carefully faked from start to finish. Although NASA has debunked each one of the

    arguments that support this bizarre allegation, there are still web pages and documentaries loaded with

    interesting pieces of evidence that uphold the moon hoax theory.

    We have also heard Thierry Meyssan, author of the The Big Lie, who challenges the official version o

    the September 11th terrorist attacks to the United States. Meyssans claims are developed in the TV program

    The FifthEstate: Conspiracy Theories broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 2004

    According to Meyssan, the American Airlines Flight 77 did not hit the U.S. Pentagon in Washington proved by

    the fact that the size of the hole left in the Pentagon was too small for that plane. Instead, he concludes tha

    the impact was caused by something much smaller that was fired by the American government itselfFurthermore, the attacks on the World Trade Center are thought to have been controlled by radio beacons

    from the ground. Behind this September 11th hoax, would be George W. Bush who is blamed to have been

    moved by the desire to find a reason to put a hand on the Middle East oil

    (http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/conspiracytheories/index.html).

    More recently, it is said that the swine flu was created in the laboratory by the same producers of the

    antiviral medication to treat it, Tamiflu. American politicians as Ronald Rumfield have been linked to the

    pharmaceutical company that owns the patent of the medication and have been accused of capitalizing on a

    virus that just isn't that much of a threat.

    According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), conspiracy theories involve wild allegationsdepend on questionable characters and seem like a waste of time. But the CBC also admits that many o

    these theories are based, at least in part, on legitimate questions. Moreover, forThe New York Times

    columnist Paul Krugman, bizarre conspiracy theories have played a disturbingly large role in the curren

    American political discourse. Why the increase in conspiracy theories? One writer remarked that conspiracies

    are the new opiate of the masses (Mary Jacobs, writer for the Dallas Morning News). There are many reasons

    why multitudes resort to conspiracy theory:

    1. The Internet. There are literally hundreds of sites given wholly to explaining world events by a powerfu

    conspiracy (or conspiracies).

    2. End times Speculation. Some Christians from the Protestant Millennial tradition see history windingdown and the emergence of a one-world government combined with a one-world religion ultimately

    ruled by The Antichrist, and thus make predicting events based on their conspiracy theories the foca

    point of their ministries.

    3. The Complexity of the Times. Epidemics, weather events, wars, catastrophes, politica

    assassinations, and terrorism are seen nightly on TV. When people live in constant fear, conspiracy

    theories seem to make the complex and seemingly unexplainable world events more manageable.

    4. The Distrust of Modern Government. As the government grows larger and intrudes into every area o

    our lives, its easy to attribute this growth and increase in power to conspiracy.

    5. Hollywood Movies and Contemporary Fiction. Some recent movies that contribute to endless

    speculations about conspiracies are: JFK, Conspiracy, Fahrenheit 911, The Skulls, and The Firm, and

    The Matrix. The recent best-selling novel, The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, and his forth-coming book

    on Masonry are according to his claim, based on the truth.

    But, why are we so sceptical about them? We may be trained to believe only what mainstream media

    says and fanatically close our eyes to other alternatives. That we call them conspiracy theories, however

    points to the fact that we are probably biased.

    Greatest Conspiracy Theories in History

    Why do people believe in conspiracy theories? That, of course is a loaded question. We could havasked why some people refuse to believe any conspiracy theories.

    Recent research suggests that whether you believe in conspiracy theories or not has much more to dwith who you are more than the objective facts. For instance, the richer you are and the whiter you are in thUSA the less likely you are to believe in a conspiracy theory. Conversely, poor people especially if they arHispanic Americans and African Americans tend to believe. In other words those who are empowered (ricand white folk) like to believe that the powerful act openly and fairly, those who are powerless believe thapower is used covertly and unfairly. Of course, the figures vary from conspiracy to conspiracy. 20% of AfricaAmericans believe that the US Administration created AIDS to limit the population growth of the black minorit

    Virtually, no white people believe this. On the other hand, in one poll 90% of US citizens - i.e. the majority owhites, blacks and Hispanics believed that JFK had been killed in a conspiracy.

    Conspiracy theories are also generational. Americans aged over 36 believe most strongly in the JFconspiracy, while the 20 -35 age bracket contains most of those Americans who believe in a 9/11 conspiracPresumably most of the ten million downloads ofLoose Change, an Internet expos documentary about 9/1were made by these young Americans.

    Below you will find some of the most believed conspiracy theories in the US and worldwide:

    Global warming is a hoax

    Some climate change doubters believe that man-made global warming is a conspiracy designed to soften uthe worlds population into allowing highertaxation, controls on lifestyle and a more authoritarian governmenThese skeptics cite a fall in global temperatures since last year and a leveling off in the rise in temperatusince 1998 as evidence.

    The Aids virus was created in a laboratory

    Based on the theories of Dr. William Campbell Douglass, many believe that HIV was genetically engineered 1974 by the World Health Organization. Dr. Douglass believed that it was a cold-blooded attempt to create killer virus which was then used in a successful experiment in Africa. Others have claimed that it was createb th CIA th KGB t d ld l ti

    Pan Am Flight 103

    Pan Am Flight 103 was Pan Americans third daily scheduled transatlantic flight from Heathrow to New YorJohn F. Kennedy International Airport. On December 21, 1988, the aircraft flying this route a Boeing 747was destroyed by a bomb, killing all 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground. The remains landearound Lockerbie in southern Scotland. A popular theory for which no evidence has been produced suggestthat the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had set up a protected drug route from Europe to the UniteStates allegedly called Operation Korea which allowed Syrian drug dealers to ship heroin to the US usinPan Am flights. The CIA allegedly protected the suitcases containing the drugs and made sure they were no

    searched. On the day of the bombing, terrorists exchanged suitcases: one with drugs for one with a bombAnother version of this theory is that the CIA knew in advance this exchange would take place, but let happen anyway, because the protected drug route was a rogue operation, and the American intelligencofficers on the flight had found out about it, and were on their way to Washington to tell their superiors.

    Pearl Harbor was allowed to happen

    Theorists believe that President Franklin Roosevelt provoked the Japanese attack on the US naval base Hawaii in December 1942, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn his fleet commanderHe apparently needed the attack to provoke Hitler into declaring war on the US because the American publand Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe. Theorists believe that the US wawarned by the governments of Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, Korea and the Soviet Union thatsurprise attack on Pearl Harbor was coming and that; furthermore, the Americans had intercepted and brokeall the important Japanese codes in the run up to the attack.

    Elvis Presley faked his own death

    A persistent belief is that the King did not die in 1977. Many fans persist in claiming he is still alive, that hwent into hiding for various reasons. This claim is allegedly backed up by thousands of so-called sightingThe main reason given in support of the belief that Presley faked his death is that, on his grave, his middname Aron is spelt as Aaron But Aaron is actually the genuine middle name for Presley Apparently eith

    Jesse Garon Presley. Two tabloid newspapers ran articles covering the continuing life of Presley after hdeath, in great detail, including a broken leg from a motorcycle accident, all the way up to his purportedredeath in the mid 1990s.

    Diana, Princess of Wales, was murdered

    Despite an official inquiry that found no evidence of a plot by MI6 or any other entity to murder the princesand Dodi Fayed in 1997, feveredspeculation continues. The theory is that rogue elements in the British secrservice decided that Dianas relationship with Fayed was a threat to the monarchy and, therefore, to thBritish state. A plot was hatched in which a white Fiat Uno carrying agents was sent to blind and disorientatdriver Henri Paul as he sped through the Paris underpass pursued by photographers. Later, Pauls blood wa

    switched with a sample of somebody who had drunk a lot of alcohol. The trouble with the theory? Not a shreof evidence exists to support it.

    The Jesus conspiracy

    This theory launched a blockbusting novel (The Da Vinci Code), a film of the same name and a plagiarisbattle in the courts. Those who believe in this and they seem to number in their millions think that Jesumarried Mary Magdalene, had one or more children, and that those children or their descendants emigrated southern France. Once there, they intermarried with the noble families that would eventually become thMerovingian dynasty, whose special claim to the throne of France is championed today by a secret sociecalled the Priory of Sion.

    Nasa faked the moon landings

    People who think that the Apollo moon landings were not all that they seemed at the time believe that Nasfaked some or all of the landings. Some of the theories surrounding this subject are that the Apollo astronaudid not land on the Moon; Nasa and possibly others intentionally deceived the public into believing th

    landings did occur by manufacturing, destroying, or tampering with evidence, including photos, telemettapes, transmissions, and rock samples; and that Nasa and possibly others continue to actively participate the conspiracy to this day. Those who think that Nasa faked some or all of the landings base their theories o

    planted by Buzz Aldrin moving in a strange way, the lack of stars over the lunar landscape and shadows fallinin different direction. These theories have been generally discounted but belief in them particularly on thweb persists.

    A flying saucer crashed at Roswell in 1947

    The event that kick-started more than a half century of conspiracy theories surrounding unidentified flyinobjects (UFOs). Something did crash at Roswell, New Mexico, sometime before July 7, 1947 and at first the US authorities stated explicitly that this was a flying saucer or disk as shown by the splash story on thadays Roswell Daily Record, pictured. Numerous witnesses reported seeing metallic debris scattered over wide area and at least one reported seeing a blazing craft crossing the sky shortly before it crashed. In recen

    years, witnesses have added significant new details, including claims of a large military operation dedicated recovering alien craft and aliens themselves, at as many as 11 crash sites, and alleged witness intimidation. 1989, former mortician Glenn Dennis claimed that he was involved in alien autopsies which were carried out the Roswell air force base.

    The conspiracy theory has been fanned by the US military repeatedly changing its story. Within hours of tharmy telling reporters that it had recovered a crashed saucer, senior officers insisted that the only thing thahad fallen from the sky had been a weather balloon. A report by the Office of the Secretary of the Air Forcreleased in 1995, concluded that the reported recovered material in 1947 was likely debris from a secregovernment program called Project Mogul, which involved high altitude balloons meant to detect sound wavegenerated by Soviet atom bomb tests and ballistic missiles. A second report, released in 1997, concluded threports of alien bodies were likely a combination of innocently transformed memories of military acciden

    involving injured or killed personnel, and the recovery of anthropomorphic dummies in military programs likProject High Dive conducted in the 1950s.

    Since the late 1990s the debate about Roswell has polarized with several former pro-UFO researcheconcluding that the craft was, indeed, part of a US military project and that it was, most likely, some sort oweather balloon. But further evidence has emerged notably a signed affidavit by Walter Haut, the RosweArmy Air Field public affairs officer who had drafted the initial press release on July 8, 1947. Haut says in thaffidavit -signed in 2002 that he saw alien corpses and a craft and that he had been involved in a militarcover up. Haut died in 2005.

    The assassination of John F Kennedy

    The 35th President of the United States was shot on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas at 12.30pmHe was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding with his wife Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in motorcade. The ten-month investigation of the Warren Commission of 1963 to 1964, the United States Hous

    that the President had been assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald who was himself shot dead by Jack Rubwhile in police custody.

    But doubts about the official explanation and the conclusion that Oswald was the lone gunman firing from thTexas Book Depository overlooking Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was hit surfaced soon after the commissioreport. Footage of the motorcade taken by Abraham Zapruder on 8mm film supported the growing belief that least four shots were fired not the three that the Warren Commission claimed. The moments of impa

    recorded on the film also suggested that at least one of the shots came from a completely different direction those supposedly fired by Oswald evidence backed up by testimony of several eye witnesses. Manbelieved that several shots were fired by gunmen hiding behind a picket fence on a grassy knoll overlookinthe plaza.

    The assassination is still the subject of widespread speculation and has spawned numerous conspiractheories, though none of these has been proven. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassination(HSCA) found both the original FBI investigation and the Warren Commission Report to be seriously flaweThe HSCA also concluded that there were at least four shots fired and that it was probable that a conspiracexisted. However, later studies, including one by the National Academy of Sciences, have called into questiothe accuracy of the evidence used by the HSCA to support its finding of four shots.

    September 11, 2001

    Thanks to the power of the web and live broadcasts on television, the conspiracy theories surrounding thevents of 9/11 when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon Washington have surpassed those of Roswell and JFK in traction. Despite repeated claims by al-Qaeda thit planned, organized and orchestrated the attacks, several official and unofficial investigations into thcollapse of the Twin Towers which concluded that structural failure was responsible and footage of the eventhemselves, the conspiracy theories continue to grow in strength.

    At the milder end of the spectrum are the theorists who believe that the US government had prior warning othe attacks but did not do enough to stop them. Others believe that the Bush administration deliberateturned a blind eye to those warnings because it wanted a pretext to launch wars in the Middle East to ushein another century of American hegemony. A large group of people collectively called the 9/11 Tru

    Movement cite evidence that an airliner did not hit the Pentagon and that the World Trade Centre could nohave been brought down by airliner impacts and burning aviation fuel alone. This final group points to videevidence which they claim shows puffs of smoke so-called demolition squibs emerging from the TwTowers at levels far below the aircraft impact zones and prior to the collapses. They also believe that, on thday itself, the US air force was deliberately stood down or sent on exercises to prevent intervention that coulhave saved the lives of nearly 3,000 people.

    Many witnesses including firemen, policemen and people who were inside the towers at the time claim have heard explosions below the aircraft impacts (including in basement levels) and before both the collapseand the attacks themselves. As with the assassination of JFK, the official inquiry into the events the 9/1Commission Report is widely derided by the conspiracy community and held up as further evidence tha9/11 was an inside job. Scientific journals have consistently rejected these hypotheses.

    Statements of Agreement

    The adverbs so, too, neither and either are frequently used when agreeing with a statementhat has been made by another person. So and too are always used when agreeing with a positivstatement. Neither and either are always used when agreeing with a negative statement.

    The main verb used with these adverbs is determined by the verb used in the initial statement. If form of the to beverb is used in the initial statement then to be must be used in the statement oagreement. Likewise, if a modal verb such as can is used then a modal verb must be used in thagreeing statement. All other verbs require the use of do in the agreeing statement. See the followin

    chart.

    Verbs -to be- Modal verbs all other verbs

    initial statement I'm not very hungry. I can't drink soju. I don't like chicken.

    agreement using neither Neither am I. Neither can I. Neither do I.

    agreement using either I'm not either. I can't either. I don't either.

    Also, notice the position of the adverbs so, too, neither and either. So and neither are both at thebeginning of the phrase. Too and either are both at the end of the phrase.

    NOTE:

    The words "so" and "too" are often used in expressions of positive agreement.

    "Too" usually comes at the end of the sentence, and "so" at the beginning.

    Remember to use "question order" with so.

    For example,

    A: I'm in a hurry.B: So am I. / I am, too. / Me too.

    A: I need to go to the bathroom.B: So do I. / I do, too. / Me too.

    A. I recommend giving the murderer a life sentence.B. So do I. / I do, too. / Me too.

    Negative Agreement

    For negative agreement, use neither in place of "so," and either in place of "too."

    For example,

    A: I'm not hungry.B: Neither am I. / I'm not either. / Me neither.*

    A: I don't have enough money anyway.

    B: Neither do I. / I don't either. / Me neither.*

    A. I dont agree with death penalty.B. Neither do I. / I dont either. / Me neither.

    These expressions can also be used in the second or third person:

    They're from Luxembourg.So are we. / We are too.

    Todd doesn't like spaghetti.Neither does Louise. / Louise doesn't either.*
