Currently the best hoax / conspiracy is the claim that the US is a functional
constitution-based federal republic with democratic tendencies. It's used to give people the false impression that they have an actual say into how their own place is run. lol

Worst cover up? When the U.S. government covered up the murder of Captain John Birch, who was killed by the Chinese communists just ten days after WWII ended.

:D How true.
Sacramento California September 1945

The steady rhythm of a drum is heard as a lone drummer solemnly plays Taps. Outside of the state capital building two enemies had come together to end the war once and for all. The last of the American armed forces stand in full dress stand tall and with pride even in the darkest of hours. Opposed to them, the German Wehrmacht stood at attention. Their weathered faces subdued, though their eyes brimmed with anticipation. But it was not over the demise of a worthy enemy, it was the fact that with the surrender of the last of the Allies, they would finally be going home. At long last six years of continuous war spanning across the globe had come to an end and against the odds the German Reich was victorious.

Rommel, Guderian and von Kluge waited quietly at the accords table where the surrender documents and annexation papers would be signed by the two sides. Guderian stood stoic as usual while Rommel pulled at his collar uncomfortably.

Rommel: I hate these things. It’s like going to the funeral of the man whom you ran your car over with.

Von Kluge: (reminiscing) Yeah, those are really awkward.

Guderian: Did you find any weapons of mass destruction, Kluge?

Von Kluge: No. You?

Guderian: Nope. Rommel?

Rommel: Not even an envelope filled with anthrax.

The three look up as the American representatives approach. The group of sober looking men were led by a quiet man in a wheelchair. One of the honor guard approaches the table and salutes.

Sergeant at Arms: Sirs, I present to you the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Von Kluge: (whispers in alarm) Good lord! We just beat up a cripple.

Rommel: We are so going to hell.

As American entourage approaches the three field marshals respectfully salute which is returned by the president and his staff.

FDR: On behalf of the American people, I am here to formally accept your terms of surrender to end anymore needless death or suffering. Which one of you will accept my surrender?

Guderian: I Field marshal Heinz Guderian will accept.

FDR: So be it. But before I sign the articles of surrender let me say this. The Third Reich has brought nothing but war and destruction with it destabilizing the whole world by its actions. Intimidating weaker countries through economic and military might. Imposing your ideals where they’re not wanted. Fabricating stories of weapons of mass destruction being developed as an excuse to invade and overthrow governments. I can only imagine what kind of warmongering oil grubbing Fuhrer you have running your country, but here, in America, we would never stoop to something so low!

Von Kluge: Well he’s got us there.

Guderian: No comment.

And with that FDR signs the surrender papers followed by Guderian.

FDR: And so with this signature World Conflict 2 is over.

Rommel: Don’t you mean World War 2?

FDR: No, since the United States lost it’s only a conflict. If we had won we would have called it a war.

Rommel/Guderian/Kluge: Ohhhhh…

FDR: Well, since Democracy is dead, I won’t be needing this anymore.

He pats the armrest of his wheelchair and braces himself on them. To everyone’s amazement he stands up from his wheel chair and stretches his legs. Then bends over and touches his toes a few times.

FDR: Ah…. That feels much better. That thing was uncomfortable as hell. The things you go through to get better poll numbers.

Von Kluge: My god he can walk! It’s a miracle! Praise Buddha!

Guderian: No, it was all a scam.

FDR: I like to think of it more as a public relations strategy.

Rommel: (blinks in disbelief) You mean you’ve been faking the entire time, lying to millions of people who believed in you?

FDR: A great man once said, "You can only please some of the people some of the time, the rest you just have to lie to."

Rommel: You and your vaunted Democracy and individual freedoms. You’re no better than Fascism! And you call us evil.

FDR: (shakes his head sadly) You people still don’t get it yet do you?

Guderian: Get what?

FDR: The fallacy which is the embodiment of Fascism.

Von Kluge: Eh?

FDR: The one thing that the masses want above all things is choice. Be it deciding between Democrat or Republican, drinking Pepsi or Coke. In the end it’s all the same thing but with Democracy we give the people the illusion of choice. The lie of freedom the facade of self-governing with the mandate of the people. Freedom itself isn’t important it’s the belief of freedom that is. Look at cable televisions, every thing on it sucks but people are happy with it because they’ll never get tired of flipping through the channels.

FDR: As long as people believe that they are free you can do anything you want. And if the people don’t like it then you just blame Congress or your Secretary of State or Iraq. See, you have to give something to the people to give them security and make them feel important and once you do that you can take them for everything they got. It’s the American tradition.

Rommel: You know, this is really starting to make sense in a creepy way.

FDR: And now do you realize why your Fascism will never work?

Guderian: Because people realize that they aren’t free they live only to serve the state, the Fuhrer. While in a Democracy people believe they are free while they are really not.

FDR: Exactly! It’s the illusion that’s important. When people realize they haven’t got squat it makes them unhappy less productive. Oh sure ordering people with the end of a gun will work but it leaves resentment, not at all good for moral. But put it on MTV and it’s the latest hip craze that everyone should be a part of.

Rommel: I think I’m beginning to understand now.

FDR: Well there is that at least. Think about what I said. You should have plenty of free time now that hostilities have ended. And as for me I’m going to live the good life on my pension. Ah, tax payer money, got to love it.

The field marshals salute the former president and FDR walks on full of dignity with his head held high.

Guderian: Now there goes a great man.

:D :p

I Think that their are meany things that the goverment has covered up. Many well known ones and then not so well known. In this day and age it is getting harder and harder to know what is real and what is fiction. I guess that this might be a game on were you pick and chose what you want to belive and we might never know who is right and who is wrong. :confused:

Best conspiracy theory? Alternative 3.

The most horrible conspiracy involves air freshners. These diabolical devices were created by the government to control the populace. You see these air freshners be they the spray kind or the car pine tree type, they release tiny nano-machines which enter the nasal passages and go into the bloodstrem to be carried to the brain. There they enter the brain tissues and create tiny electrical impulses which are calculated to prevent thoughts of rebellion and create thoughts of normalacy.

However, several brave individuals got wised up to this nefarious plot and realized that there was a way to disable said nano-machines. The method was simple and natural... flatulance... good old fashioned farting. You see the gas that exits our bowels has an unpublished chemical that interrupts the micro-processers of the air freshner nanomachine and shuts it down rendering it harmless. However, the vile government controlled general culture got word of this and made it indecent to fart in public and around other people. And that was the end of it.
