Conspiracies are not created just like that. Behind the mystery of a conspiracy, there must be a goal to be achieved. According to liputan6.com, generally conspiracy theories aim to blame or harm one party or to create a reason.

Events accompanied by conspiracies can occur at various levels, ranging from small environments such as villages or settlements, to national, regional, and even international levels. It is not surprising that in various conspiracies, big names often appear as figures suspected of being the masterminds.

Conspiracies are beliefs that are considered true by some people, although they are actually difficult to prove. Conspiracies have tightly closed mysteries, so many people are curious and try to uncover them. In this way, a conspiracy can spread and develop among the community.

Conspiracy or conspiracy theories are not new. For years, people have been consumed by various conspiracy theories. In fact, there are some conspiracy theories that have caused a stir and influenced people's minds. According to merdeka.com, here are some examples of conspiracy theories that have circulated and developed in society.

1. Weather Manipulation

In 1993, the US Defense Research and Projects Agency collaborated with the US military and the University of Alaska to launch a program called the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, abbreviated as HAARP.

HAARP is a project that has not been disclosed to the public. Because of this, many assumptions have emerged about this project, leading to a conspiracy theory.

Some conspiracy theories suggest that this satellite project can cause earthquakes. And that it is a large transmitter project that can create tornadoes and tsunamis. However, it turns out that this project is a continuation of an old US government project where cloud seeding techniques are used to increase rainfall.

Although it does not cause tornadoes, at least this project has been proven to be able to manipulate the weather, especially causing heavy rain. Thus, the conspiracy theory regarding weather manipulation is considered quite true.

2. The Moon is Not Real

Someone named David Icke, a former football player, author, and public speaker, stated that the moon is actually not real.

Icke's argument was inspired by an American writer who said that the size of the moon that appears is quite strange. Icke believes this, and theorizes that the moon is not real.

Icke believes that the moon is a control system that can manipulate our feelings towards reality. This can make humans become slaves. What Icke conveys is that everything in this world is a lie built to make humans believe in it.

Interestingly, this conspiracy is believed by quite a lot of people. There is even an official forum discussing this on the internet.

Those are some reviews about conspiracy, which are assumptions or secrets behind an event. How about you, are you interested in conspiracy theories?
