Conspiracy theories are of extreme interest to me, this is due to a late-night syndicated radio show called Coast To Coast AM, a show about mainly the paranormal, aliens and of course: conspiracy theories. Personally, I think the show was best hosted by Art Bell (who has retired multiple times), but at least it stays on task.

I’m not alone with Coast To Coast Am being a personal favorite. For instance, if you happened to have a Facebook account, take a look at the official Coast To Coast Am page and see how many likes it has. You also might see my face under the likes as well if you wished to dig in there. Some people may like the radio show because of the paranormal topics or stories about aliens. And some people just listen for the Conspiracy Theories.

I’ve only seen the first ten minutes of the movie Conspiracy Theory, but I know that Mel Gibson’s character (and himself as of late) can alarm some people out there who are just citizens to secret services employees. Depending on how our society thinks is how we can take on an opinion that sounds awfully dangerous.

Popular conspiracy theories go from the John F. Kennedy assasination to the most popular 9/11 opinions. Another radio show worth mentioning is The Alex Jones Show. Mr. Jones himself talks a lot about 9/11 and how he believes it’s an inside job. Besides the influence of Mr. Jones, people are out there who agree with him. They are also known as the 9/11 truth people. They are usually at ground zero, they have made a unpleasant appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, in which Bill Maher himself had kicked one of the members out who interrupted him a few times. Along with the theories and evidence on YouTube, they also have responded to him in a form of a video in a parody of his ‘New Rules’ segment he does at the end of each show.

And for those who believe that 9/11 was in the hands of Osama Bin Laden and not of George W Bush, that theory is threatening. The 9/11 truth people from
