(#9) Billy Joel Wrote the Illuminati National Anthem
Was piano man Billy Joel enlisted to write a defiant anthem proclaiming the Illuminati's orchestration of all of the events of the 20th century? Give "We Didn't Start the Fire" another listen, then check out the conspiracy theory put forth by "usa-prophecies.com."
Their close reading of the lyrics reveals Joel spelling out that the Dark Cabal runs everything, always has, and always will:
"We didn't start the fire [ These events were all planned out before we were born. ]
It was always burning [ Those secret societies have been controlling our events. ]
Since the world's been turning [ It all started in the Garden Eden. ]
We didn't start the fire [ We're not controlling these things. ]
No, we didn't light it [ Those satanists are. ]
But, we tried to fight it [ In fact, we've tried many attempts to stop it. ]"
(#5) Marisa Tomei's Oscar Was a Mistake
Tomei’s shocking victory in the 1993 Best Supporting Actress race gave birth to a conspiracy theory that presenter Jack Palance was so drunk (or stoned) when giving the award that he read the wrong name, and everyone in Hollywood just ran with it.
However, no such mistake can be made. A rep from official Oscar vote counters Price Waterhouse stands in the wings during the ceremony to correct any errors, and only the name of the winner, not the nominees, is shown on the card the presenter opens. The “mistake” never happened and would never just be something that everyone ran with.(#7) The Beatles Never Existed
Anyone can think Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1968. But a real conspiracy theorist takes it one step further - just like the creator of the website "The Beatles (as they were presented to us) Never Existed."
The theory's anonymous mastermind presents us with a wealth of "evidence" showing that the Beatles as we know them were a combination of lookalikes, robots, decoys, synthetic beings, and countless actors playing single members of a band. The supposed proof is in discrepancies in height, facial features, teeth, eyebrows, and demeanor.
(#10) John Travolta Was Replaced by a German Singer
Actor John Travolta and deceased German schlager singer Roy Black share more than a passing semblance. They had the same facial structure, hair, mouth, and nose. According to one conspiracy theory, it means that one replaced the other. While Black is said to have died in 1991 of a heart attack, some believe that the death was faked so he could undergo minor plastic surgery and English lessons, in order to take over the role of John Travolta for unknown but probably nefarious reasons. What happened to the original Travolta is currently unknown, but it's probably not good.
(#2) Katy Perry is Actually JonBenet Ramsey
Was the murder of seven-year-old JonBenet Ramsey in 1996 never solved because she was never actually murdered? This is the crux of a conspiracy theory driven by a YouTube video: that Ramsey's parents are actually Perry's parents, and that they "sacrificed" their made-up daughter in a Masonic ritual hoax killing, only to have her reappear as a pop star a decade later.
The evidence for the theory is that Ramsey and Perry have some similar facial features and eyebrows, and that the two sets of parents do as well. That's about it. In fact, Perry and Ramsey were born about six years apart, meaning that the timeline of the "disappearance" makes no sense.
(#3) Britney Spears Was a Deep Cover Bush Administration Agent
While she might be a full-time mom and part-time Vegas attraction now, Britney Spears was among the biggest celebrities of the Bush years. Hence the conspiracy theory that she was an "off the books" employee of Dubya, paid to engineer distractions and keep the American people's eye off the chicanery going on in Washington.
Surprisingly, the timing of this conspiracy kind of matches up. Spears's 55 hour marriage to a childhood friend coincided with the Valerie Plame scandal breaking. When Bush's approval rating hit its all time low, Spears made news again for having a Child Protective Services visit. Then, when the 2006 midterm rolled around, Britney announced she was splitting with her husband, celebrity doofus Kevin Federline. Finally, her 2007 meltdown diverted attention from Al-Qaeda reforming in Pakistan.
One thing that makes this conspiracy theory less plausible is that it hinges on a rumored romance between Spears and Bush administration mastermind Karl Rove.
