Alternate Conspiracy Theories

Putting this here because I mainly mean conspiracy theories in the modern sense, after 1900.

Basically, suggest some conspiracy theories that might be believed by some in alternate timelines. Extra points if these theories are actually true in OTL.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on the orders of the Serbian secret service.
 
AREA 51 CONSPIRACY THEORY

First detailed in the 1960s as the Puerto Rican independence movement shot to the forefront with the controversial "Puerto Rican Workers' Party", "Area 51" was an alleged measure to quarantine Puerto Rico in order to subdue Communist rebels. The entire island would effectively become a prison for these terrorists, until such time as the individual known to the Conspiracy Fanatics only as JFK gave the word for decontamination. The island would be reopened for American settlement four months after decontamination.
 
Revisionist "historians" produce new lies

Despite it having been repeatedly refuted and crushed by the historical evidence, the conspiracy theory of a National Socialist genocide on the Jews of Europe continues to remain fairly prominent in reactionary circles around the world. Most recently, published in Doreen Schmitz's highly speculative Missing Millions. Never mind that the Schutzsstaffel archives were opened fifteen years ago and showed no evidence of any such, or the photographic documentation available for all to see that they died in Stalin's extermination machinery (the GULag).

Fräulein Schmitz is as much aware of this as the rest of us; indeed, she confesses such. According to her and her ilk, all these records are falsified, part of a vast conspiracy... and when asked to present evidence, they claim that, too, is part of the conspiracy! These people call themselves scientists, when really we should use their proper name: propagandists.

In her book, she uses no new evidence of value, other than speculation and hearsay from sources even the most casual reader would realise are hardly valid and objective, to say the least. She goes on to accuse great Party leaders of the past, such as Obergruppenführer Heydrich, my own grandfather, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, and even the Führer himself(!), of having been complicit in this vast crime, which was supposedly magically kept hidden from the rest of the nation.

I feel it in my heart every time such vile slander is published; my grandfather, ever a gentle man, would more than likely be in tears if he could hear what ignorant descendants of Jews and Slavs write about him. These preposterous stories are actually presented in school as facts in the more deluded American provinces. The ones in the former USA we cannot reach, of course, but it is a shame such lies are allowed to be printed on European soil.

Some people shirk from nothing in trying to paint the Fatherland's great achievements in a bad light. Too bad they do not realise such sheer intellectual dishonesty only serves to damage their own credibility. Still, it does become tiresome, and in every generation the Eugenics Department misses some morons who suck up the lunacies. Now that the EU Parliament is discussing a law against denying Stalin's Holocaust, could they not also outlaw these stupidities?

It would be interesting if a chemist on a large Brittish univsity was blamed for anything.:D It gave me an idea, scientists blamed for everything and that there is a great scientific conspiracy.

Me, I blame the Danish:D

Fake Canadian change with listening stations find out the truth of 9/11: American involvement and financing of the attacks.
 
The Zimmerman Conspiracist believe that the Germans were trying to talk the Mexicans into attacking America during WWI. And "if only" the US had somehow gotten wind of this, Americans would have become involved in the war. According to the theory, the Kaiser still has agents whose job it is to suppress the truth of the matter in the interest of keeping US-German relations on good footing.
 
The Soviets never landed on the Moon. Instead, they faked the entire thing in a TV studio. In return for shipments of grain, the US both helped with the construction of a giant vacuum chamber, and agreed to hush the whole thing up.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy may have shot President Lee Harvey Oswald from the book depository in Dallas, but many people think that on the grassy knoll, John Connally shot Governor Howard Brennan...
 
The Anglo-German peace treaty of 1941 was the result of a conspiracy involving members of 'the establishment' including the Royal Family and the head of the secret intelligence service.

After illicit correspondence through neutral Portugal and Spain, the terms of the treaty were actually agreed at a secret meeting that took place at the Duke of Hamilton's castle in Scotland. The meeting was attended by Nazi deputy-Führer Rudolf Hess, who flew to Scotland in a Luftwaffe fighter, negotiated the treaty with representatives of the Peace Party, refueled and returned to Germany the next night.

Winston Churchill did not really die in a bombing raid but was assassinated by SIS who blew his car up after he left a meeting with the King, who had presented him with the terms of the Peace Treaty. When Churchill refused to consider the document and threatened to call a general election, the King ordered his death.

The Duke of Hamilton was killed in a plane crash but his aircraft did not suffer engine failure, it was sabotaged to protect the conspirators. Rudolf Hess was not killed by Russian partisans, but is actually still alive and kept locked in solitary confinement at Heinrich Himmler's castle Wewelsburg, ideological headquarters of the SS. He is rumoured to have become insane.

The release of Tyler Kent by the British government and his subsequent supply to Senator Kennedy of documents showing that Churchill was conspiring with FDR to draw the USA into the war, were all part of a joint Abwehr/SIS disinformation campaign, agreed in a secret protocol to the Anglo-German peace treaty. The documents themselves are fakes.
 
"9/11 was perpertrated by Islamic terrorists led by Osama Bin Laden, not the Bush administration? What an idiotic conspiracy theory. As the Revolutionary Government has explained time and again, the World Trade Towers were destroyed by controlled explosions. Now, if you look at this issue of Popular Mechanics...
 
"Vast Left-wing conspiracy" was a phrase used by First Lady Peggy Goldwater in 1971 in defense of her husband President Barry Goldwater and his administration during the 1st Arab oil embargo, characterizing the charges made by several Democratic officials and liberal organizations against the administration's policies in the Middle East as the latest in a long, organized, collaborative series of charges by Goldwater's political enemies.

Somebody claim that Cassius Madison didn't shoot the real Featherston, but a double. Apparently the real Featherston was able to reach Pensacola, Florida, where he boarded a ship destined to Veracruz. Here, the Emperor Francisco José II hided him till the Mexican monarchy was overthrown during the 1956 Revolution. At this point theories became rather confuse, but most of them agree that Featherston escaped to Argentina, where he was still alive in the early 60s.
 
Any earthquake in Gurkani Alam since the late 1970s is the result of a secret super-weapon owned by the side that benefits the most from it.
