2016 Conspiracy Theories That People Really Fell For!
Donald Trump Is a Democratic Plant
Many from both sides of the political spectrum couldn’t believe that Donald Trump was running for office. Some even suggested that he was a democratic plant sent to sabotage the Republican party. Many pointed to such things as his criticism of John McCain, stating that he was a hero because he was a prisoner of war.
Trump said, “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” Others point to his former friendship with Hillary and Bill Clinton, although Bill has said they weren’t that close, they were definitely photographed together. Trump even complimented Hillary in the past.
Global Depopulation?
Another conspiracy circulating the web is something called “Agenda 21.” Allegedly, Agenda 21 is a program run by the United Nations which aims to bring the entire world population under the control of an elite few. People claim one of the ways to maintain control is through killing a large amount of the human population.
Yes, people seriously believe this. Some claim it will be through tainted vaccines, death camps, and even that ISIS plans to kill 90% of Americans through an EMP (electromagnetic pulse weapon) attack. As this isn’t the first year that such rumors have circulated, it’s more than likely more fear-mongering which does nothing more than scare people!
