Report on US Conspiracy Theories (20th century/1900s)?

I am writing a report for social studies on US conspiracies or conspiracy theories starting from the 1900s and onwards/20th and 21st century.

Any RELIABLE websites that I can use? I am having trouble finding any. Can you please give me a website I can use. NO WIKIPEDIA!!! We are not allowed to use Wikipedia.

I will pick an best answer.

No time to find your links, but here's some 20th Century things to search for:

1913 Federal Reserve Bank being part of the Rothschild Group. You can include the IRS as the way we guarantied payment to the bankers (watch "The Money Masters" on YouTube)

1941 Roosevelt knew about the bombing of Pearl Harbor and let it happen anyway. Why? To get us to rally around the efforts against Germany. Here's an interesting link: http://www.independent.org/newsroom/article.asp?id=408

1963 Kennedy's murder. Loads of sources! Rent the DVD.

2001 Bush knew about the World Trade Center attacks. PBS's Frontline, if you can find it, "The Man Who Knew"

Oh, almost forgot about David Eike! He warns us that lizardmen have taken over all the powerful positions in the world and rule us. And here's the best part: He's dead serious! http://www.jbs.org/node/163

Edit:

Nice job copying and pasting Lucky. Shouldn't you have named your source and provided a link for the young lady?

The list of “conspiracy theories” is long. Do you know why all of these are still on the books as conspiracy theories? That’s right; no truth has ever been established to any of them?

Do you know how many conspiracy theories that have been on this list have been proven as “true”? Right again, NONE!
Do you know that all of these conspiracies are linked by a common element (common denominator)? Correct, they are all unproven!

Do you know what the odds are that any of these will ever be proven? Now this is just a guess but based on past experience, NONE!

•Bilderberg Group—A well-known informal, international, annual meeting of influential people that some critics allege have a sinister purpose. Its name is that of the hotel in the Netherlands where the group first met in 1954.
•Council on Foreign Relations—Conspiracy theories surrounding the membership of this foreign policy think tank.
•Elders of Zion—A supposed conspiratorial group bent on Jewish global domination, as portrayed by the forged document, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
•Eurabia—The idea that Europe is becoming a satellite of the Islamic world at French "instigation" due to the activities of the Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation.
•Freemasons.
•The Gemstone File—Details a wide ranging conspiracy involving Aristotle Onassis, the CIA, FBI, and the Mafia in addition to John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Ted Kennedy, Richard Nixon, the Washington Post, San Francisco Mayor Joseph Alioto, Howard Hughes, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Watergate conspirators.
•The Illuminati—Thought of as a secret group attempting to control the world.
•Korean Air Flight KAL-007.
•Priory of Sion—Various different theories.
•Reptilian humanoids—According to David Icke, a group of reptilian humanoids called the Babylonian Brotherhood control a secret world government. Icke has accused many prominent politicians and celebrities of being such creatures, including George W. Bush, Queen Elizabeth II, and Kris Kristofferson.
•SARS conspiracy theory—Suggests that the SARS virus could be developed artificially.
•Trilateral Commission—Theories concerning the motives of this group.
•United Nations—Theories regarding the UN and its various Secretaries General.
•Vril Society Conspiracy which suggests that a secret form of energy, called Vril is used and controlled by a secret, subteranean society of matriarchal, socialist utopian superior beings.[1] AIDS conspiracy theories—Some people believe that the CIA created the AIDS epidemic and deliberately administered it to blacks, and gays through tainted hepatitis vaccinations in the 1970s. Another theory posits that HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, was invented by either white scientists in the World Health Organization (WHO), or by "The Jews", as a way to kill African Americans and destroy the black race. This latter view is heard most often among groups such as the New Black Panther Party and Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. Still more theorists claim that HIV does not exist, does not cause AIDS, or that persons who test HIV positive can take certain nutritional suppliments (or other forms of alternative medicine) and eventually test HIV negative. See AIDS Reconsideration for more information on the topic.
•Apollo moon landing hoax accusations-Proponents of this theory claim that all of the Apollo moon landings never happened and were "staged" in a Hollywood movie studio.
•Area 51—Various theories surround the activity of this secretive military base, including the theory that it contains hidden alien spacecraft and/or bodies.
•Assassination—Conspiracy theories of varying popularity surround the deaths, murders, attempts and attacks on, several prominent figures including:
oZachary Taylor, 1850
oAbraham Lincoln, 1865
oHuey Long, 1935
oAdolf Hitler, 1945

•Black helicopters.
•Cattle mutilation.
•Denver International Airport—Believed by many conspiracy theorists to be the Western headquarters of the New World Order, and a massive underground base and city is believed to exist underneath the airport. Reasons for this include: the airport is unusually large (larger than some major cities), is somewhat distant from the Denver, Colorado city center, there were in the airport a set of bizarre murals (some of which have been painted over) depicting burning cities, gas-mask wearing soldiers, girls in coffins, Masonic symbols and strange writing.
•Elvis sightings.
•High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program
•Hurricane Katrina-several theories[2] are advanced.
•Kentucky Fried Chicken—It is sometimes claimed that the franchise is owned by the Ku Klux Klan, and the chicken is laced with a drug that makes only black men impotent. In actuality KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, Inc., a publicly traded Fortune 500 company. Sometimes, Church's Fried Chicken is named instead of KFC.
•Majestic 12.
•Men in Black.
•Montauk Project-A continuation of the Philadelphia Experiment, this time with the intent to create a weapon that would cause enemies to turn insane.
•Oklahoma City bombing—Various conspiracy theories surround this event, asserting that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols received assistance from other parties, such as neo-Nazi groups, an Iraqi intelligence agent, or the U.S. government. Much of this speculation surrounds the identity of "John Doe 2", sometimes referred to as the "Third Man" or " Third Terrorist".[3]
•Philadelphia Experiment- An attempt to turn a ship invisible, that allegedly caused severe harm to onboard crewmembers.
•Roswell UFO incident.
•Satanic ritual abuse.
•Skull & Bones—This Yale University fraternity is often thought of as being a secret society producing many financial and political leaders who have control or seek to gain control.
•TWA Flight 800— Some theorists allege that the explosion of this plane, officially ruled an accident for a short circuit in the fuel-tank wiring, was actually due to a missile attack. The most widely-repeated theory suggests that the plane was accidentally shot down during a Navy training exercise. Writer Peter Lance alleges that TWA 800 was blown up by a bomb intended to disrupt the trial of terrorist Ramzi Yousef.[4]
•Vast right-wing conspiracy theory.

Lucky, I think she was looking for websites..not examples.

(Of course, I respond to her post with an answer that is completely irrelevant to her question).

FYI...I am glad to see someone NOT using Wikipedia as a source...but if you notice at the bottom of each page there will be a list of websites that are used as sources for that particular subject. Ironically---those websites (especially for your topic) are going to be biased as well---but you will ACTUALLY find more information there than if you were simply to look at the topic of "Conspiracy Theories in the United States" on Wikipedia alone. Catch my drift?

Recommendation? Look up the topic of Conspiracy Theories on Google or Yahoo--these search engines are great for listing websites for you to visit!

Good luck.

So today I went in for an interview and I was going in for the 2nd interview by the head chief executive. now this is where it got weird, so she asked me about my previous jobs and said how much she liked that product over that product. then she started talking about her daughter? an her divorce ...then how she didn't finish college because she was making more money doing what she did for this company ... then she talked about how her teenage daughter is a handful... I just played it cool thinking she was using some sort of psychology thing to trick me into saying something stupid. the interview ended and she seemed happy an I was escorted to the door... now I'm freaking confused? is this normal behavior for an executive? like it felt like she was going to burst into tears at one point and tell me her life problems... is this normal? was she trying to see how I react or something?

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

Recently I have overlooked for a project at work and I am unable to accept it why? I am hard working, dedicated, maintain a very professional decorum, very cordial with my colleagues and bosses, give respect to one and all. Still people who take the p***, argue with managers, gossip mongers have been selected for some very responsible positions at work. I seriously can't get my head around it why, why unprofessional people who have no work ethics being selected over me, whereas I have a track record of excellent performance and never shy away from any work my manager ask me to do? I am at my lowest point and not getting hold of my manager to ask the question why not me, why them who can't even bother? I am feeling like a complete loser, giving years to this place, building my performance, trust and this is how I get rewarded. Why my life is so shit, anything I wish for turns to dust?

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
