CONSPIRACIES: History's Greatest Plots, Collusions

Why did flight MH370 fall from the sky, lost without a trace? Was Donald Trump elected President of the United States with the help of Russians? What are the theories surrounding the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center? Unpack some of the most complex conspiracy theories in this book, whether that is exploring the Illuminati, questioning who shot John F. Kennedy or asking if Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, ran the company as a 'non-state hostile intelligence service'? One chapter will dive into the existence of secret societies, from the Catholic Church and its Knights Templar (an underground order of warrior monks based in Jerusalem during the time of the Crusades), to the Bilderberg Group, an organisation whose members are some of the most powerful men and women in the world including Henry Kissinger and Paul Wolfowitz, as well as Rockefellers, Fords and Agnellis. Transport yourself to Rendlesham Forest in Suffolk during the early hours of Boxing Day morning in 1980 where an American Air Force Base tracked an unidentified aircraft on its radar and, after a patrol was sent out, men saw the bright beams of red and blue light shining from a metallic craft. Uncover whether the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler escaped the allies at the end of the Second World War as only a few bones were found after he shot himself in the Führerbunker. This guide will walk readers through one of the most bizarre conspiracies: Project MKULTRA, a CIA experiment between the 1950s and 1970s which explored the possibility of mind control through the use of drugs such as LSD and mescaline. This is the book for anyone who asks whether crop circles are the result of alien visitor or local hoaxers, whether the Oklahoma City Bombing in 1995 was a cover up, or if Edward Snowden was right to say that there is a global conspiracy to spy on friends and foes.
