Conspiracy Theories and Hoaxes



The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion is an antisemitic hoax purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination. It was first published in Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. Henry Ford funded printing of 500,000 copies that were distributed throughout the US in the 1920s. The Protocols is a fabricated document purporting to be factual. It was originally produced in Russia between 1897 and 1903, possibly by Pyotr Ivanovich Rachkovsky, head of the Paris office of the Russian Secret Police, and unknown others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocols_of_the_Elders_of_Zion


As a conspiracy theory, the term New World Order or NWO refers to the emergence of a totalitarian one-world government. Prior to the early 1990s, New World Order conspiracism was limited to two American countercultures, primarily the militantly anti-government right, and secondarily fundamentalist Christians concerned with end-time emergence of the Antichrist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_World_Order_%28conspiracy_theory%29

A Racial Program for the Twentieth Century (occasionally A Radical Program for the Twentieth Century) is an antisemitic hoax promoted by Eustace Mullins. It is often cited as "proof" of a Jewish and/or Communist plot against white Americans, in much the same way as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, another forged document, is used as "proof" of a Jewish global domination conspiracy. Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr. ( 1923 –  2010 ) was a populist American political writer, biographer, and antisemite.

I remember seeing a british show years ago with the Spaghetti tree hoax. It also had a segment on Hockey Puck-itis and how the NHL would face a serious shortage of hockey pucks due to a blight or fungus that affected all the Hockey Puck Trees. And then they showed a tree with Hockey puckes dangling from it which looked like someone had taken a blowtorch to them or something because they were all deformed. It was actually quite clever. 
Thank God for the internet.

Lesson: Stick with God.
