Conspiracy theories are the belief that a covert operation is responsible for a certain circumstance or event. These stories can be entertaining but for many they are very real. USDirect decided to scan through Reddit to search for the most talked about conspiracy theories divided by state. They ended up finding out that there are nine (9) major talked about topics in the United States.
Twenty-seven (27) states believe that there is a "New World Order." Organizations like the Freemasons make people think that the Illuminati is real and they are set on world domination. In New Mexico they are insistent that Tupac is still alive and in Washington they believe that Lizard People are shapeshifting alien reptiles that live among us.
Five (5) states are still convinced that the Earth is flat and that NASA has doctored photos to make it look round. While five (5) other states believe that chemtrails are a form of chemical or biological warfare. Those thin cloudlike streams that airplanes leave behind are actually called Contrails. Which is a conjunction of two words, "condensation" and "trail." Meaning it leaves behind streams of water. Many fear that this is a form of weather control, psychological manipulation or a way to reduce our life expectancy.
"New Coke" caused quite a stir in 1985 by replacing the original recipe with a new one. After just 79 days they removed it from the shelves. Five (5) states feel that Coca Cola was trying to replace real sugar with high fructose corn syrup because it is cheaper alternative or that they were trying to please the DEA by removing the word Coca from its label. Some even think it was just to boost their sales since Pepsi was becoming a big competitor.
Probably one of the most known conspiracy theories around is that the Moon Landing, in 1969, was a hoax. Ohio is actually the state that searches the Moon Landing the most which is hilarious since it is the home of Neil Armstrong. Much of the details of this theory come from the photos themselves. They claim that the astronauts could not survive the vacuum of space because of the exposure to radiation. They also claim that the U.S. flag looks like it is waving in the breeze but there is no wind in space.
Then there are four (4) states worried about Black Helicopters watching us and in North Dakota they are researching Deepwater Horizon.
Deepwater Horizon, is the theory that the offshore oil rig that failed in 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, was a political action centering on President Barack Obama directing a special operations team to destroy the rig. People also think that North Korean leader Kim Jong-II sent a torpedo to demolish it and some believe that the Eco Warriors are responsible for the spill causing a blow to the oil industry. Some even believe the underground drilling has caused an buried UFO to wake up and cause this destruction.
