Alternate TL Conspiracy Theories

I was gonna do a "Alternate Rock and Roll myths", but I might as well just bump this.
  • The Beatles were homosexuals (I think this may have been real, but it's not really popular).

Albert Goldman rather famously claimed that Lennon had an long lasting relationship with Brian Epstein. So, there actually is a rumor to that affect. Don't worry I'm not claiming it actually happened, I'm just saying Goldman said it happened, which are very different things. Anyone, so there were rumors about one of the four anyway.

A TL where the moon landings were actually fake would have a "We actually went to the moon, but they covered it up to hide proof of ET life" theory.

A riff on that:

In a TL, where the Soviets faked the first moon landing, the US made a real landing some years later and there was a mostly conventional WWIII (with a very limited nuclear exchange) there could be a theory saying that the NATO occupying authorities in the former USSR falsified all extant records of the Soviet landing to make it look like it was fake, and that this was done because the Soviets found proof of ET life on the Moon.

There would, of course, be the more extreme version claiming that in addition to this, the Soviets were actively working with the ETs to conquer the world and that the war was really fought to stop this unholy alliance and to eradicate ET presence on Earth.

"A cabal of German generals and the Allied High Command had been conspiring against Hitler, so that his plane would be shot down in May 1943..."
From a timeline where Hitler's plane gets ambushed by British fighters in 1943 and he is killed. I may do a timeline on this...
I'd like to read that. Hitler wants to due something to counter flaging confidence. He orders his plain into the air. British fidhters just happen to be in the area. They shoot down the passanger craft. Then the fiction starts.
 
In a TL where Lyndon B. Johnson during WW2 stays on the plane that he originally was suppose to be that got shot down I could see some crazy conspiracy theory that MacArthur was the cause of the plane being shot down to get back at FDR.
