Top Five Stupid Things People Believe, Part 1.

Today, I got to be the guest blogger on a popular blog called, “The Kooz Top Five.”  Here is the post I did only I added some pictures.  I’m going to start a periodic series of posts myself on Stupid Things People Believe so I thought this was probably the best place to start.  Please enjoy and check out The Kooz Top Five here.

The Top Five Stupid Things People Actually Believe about the Government

Everyone knows the government has secrets the rest of us can’t ever know, but some people go a little further in their distrust of the government.  There are a large number of people who think the establishment is controlled by all sorts of nefarious leaders (and creatures).  They obviously have more faith in the government than I do because I’m pretty sure our leaders are not nearly as cool or capable as these conspiracy theories assume.  If they were, I’d trust them a whole lot more myself.  Here are the Top-Five stupid things people actually believe about the government.  I follow each one with a link to the theory’s all-sorts of crazy Internet source.  

5 - Fluoride. That fluoride in your drinking water? Well it’s not to make your teeth all nice and pretty for your lover.  It’s really the government’s way to enslave the population.

There is a conspiracy theory that Flouride in the public water systems is used as mind control, or population control, or to make us all slaves to the man. Some believe it makes citizens more likely to be subjugated, develop schizophrenia, or to become ill.  Read more about it here. 

4 - Government mind-control.  Your resistance is futile. Not only are they poisoning our water, but a lot of people believe they control our minds through subliminal messages in the TV. I’m almost certain this is not true because I’ve tried using subliminal messages to get better at life and they DON’T WORK; I totally wasted my $1.99 on iTunes!  This conspiracy theory also assumes the government is a lot cooler than it actually is and that the population is a lot harder to control than it actually is.  In reality, you can pretty much convince the masses to believe anything without subliminal messages or drugging their water. Read more about it here.

3 - Aliens and nukes. The government’s nuclear weapons sites are being visited by UFOs. These UFOs are disarming the weapons by causing the systems to lose contact with control and the UFOs also cut the power to the weapons. I can’t really explain this better than the UK Daily Mail can, so read more of the crazy here.

2 - New World Order.   You thought the New World Order was a professional wrestling group? Wrong. There is a New World Order of super elite people operating as a shadow government. They are the evil masterminds behind every world war, major event, and they control the media and the entertainment industry. Lady Gaga is their minion. They also caused the recession because they control the economy. They hang out at places like, “Bohemian Grove” in California and participate in orgies and occult rituals. After that they go to something called the Bildeberg Hotel in the Netherlands where they plot more ways to take over the world.  They are also behind the aforementioned water fluoridation so they can more easily control the masses… Read more here.

1 - Reptoids.  Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who actually think the following is true.  There is a secret race of reptiles controlling the world.  Yep, that’s right. People really and truly believe some lizards came down from space eons ago and they control the human population.  These lizards take on human form during the day and then shed their skins at night to show their true reptilian form. That New World Order I just told you about, well obviously they’re all lizard people.  You think that nice man in the Oval Office is a human? Nope, at night he shape-shifts into a lizard and so does his wife. You think Prince William and Kate Middleton are sweet newlywed couple? You’re wrong, they are Lizards.

This website even calls the political reptilians out by name here.  Time even has a take on the conspiracy.

In the interest of full-disclosure though, here is a Cracked.com list of seven conspiracy theories that actually did turn out to be true... so you never know really.
