25 Ludicrous Conspiracy Theories People Actually Believe

                                 

Unfortunately, everyone with a keyboard can add to the list of silly unsubstantiated conspiracy claims we see in the Ludicrous List above. But are all conspiracy theories nonsense? How do we evaluate conspiracy claims and Knowledge Questions about events in history or even in the contemporary world? Which qualities in the IB Learner Profile can help us to evaluate these claims?
Which ways of knowing can help us separate the Illuminati Lizard theories from other claims?
One key approach may be to look at the source. Does the speaker or writer have a record of expertise, authority, credibility in this area?
There have been real conspiracies in history.

Nazis expected to win the war but they did not want the truth about the genocide to be part of the narrative for in the post war years. The film 'CONSPIRACY' starring Kenneth Brannagh is based on the minutes of a secret meeting to plan the mass murder of all Jews in Nazi occupied Europe.

                                                                                                                                                                             What about  claims which have serious consequences for the people who believe them?                

How do tv shows influence western audiences and others to accept conspiracy theories?

How do we measure the knowledge claims of Edward Snowden about surveillance of ordinary citiizens? Does the fact he could make these claims, even though it made him a fugitive demonstrate that keeping secrets is very difficult especially in our modern era?

International -mindedness, inclusiveness or creating a world of them and us?

Perhaps poetry can help Mr Trump to stop stoking the fires of intolerance and promote understanding of our common humanity. The Mexican subtitles on this clip remind us that real Mexican people hear and see these speeches which are inspired by the kind of hate that inspired Hitler. It is very shameful to see public discourse reduced to demagoguery.

Mr Trump might start with the this poem:

THEY’LL SAY: ‘SHE MUST BE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY’

When I can’t comprehend

why they’re burning books

or slashing paintings,

when they can’t bear to look

at god’s own nakedness,

when they ban the film

and gut the seats to stop the play

and I ask why

they just smile and say,

‘She must be 

from another country.’

Hiroshima and Nagasaki - History and Ethics and Ways of Knowing - can we 'know' and understand without personal knowledge?

  Young Turks TV show takes a somewhat critical look at American Atomic bombs video above.          




 In recent years, many academics and others have condemned President Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as unnecessary and immoral. Yet this interpretation relies on a poor understanding of history that both lacks perspective and ignores context. Dropping the bomb shortened the war and saved countless lives -- both American and Japanese. In five minutes, Professor of History at Notre Dame, Father Wilson Miscamble, argues for one side of the argument.

(Is it appropriate to ask if Jesus ('blessed are the peacemakers') would have argued for alternatives to war or an end to war itself rather this argument of 'the lesser of two evils'? This is a hypothetical question but  is there something unsettling about a man of God arguing so passionately that the killing of so many people was justified? Nonetheless, this man is both a priest and professor and we should evaluate his articulate and well-researched views as he is a credible academic source. His religious faith is not obvious in this video apart from his appearance. So focus on the history and ethics aspects but some students and teachers might want to look at the theology of a just war in some religions.)


Here is an example of Knowledge Questions in History as an Area of Knowledge.



Watch the video - evaluate the evidence - look online for academic voices of contradiction - weigh claims and counterclaims from different historians - reputable sources (not everyone online is reputable) - now use Reason and Emotion and Sense Perception and Language to unpack the questions around this tragic event.

If we approach this problem as a knowledge question, we begin to see how some issues are complicated by culture, history and partisan politics.

The late James Brady was injured when shot in the head during an assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. He and his wife became powerful advocates for gun control for 33 years.

Although a member of the Republican Party, he and his organisation faced the same frustrations as President Obama on this problem of gun violence in American society.

History Knowledge Questions - when did the concept of total war begin the modern era?

http://krieger.jhu.edu/magazine/fw07/r5.html

More than 8 million soldiers and 20 million civilians perished in World War I. Many say "The War to End All Wars" instituted military conflict on the grandest scale ever before seen.

Or did it? "Total war," as David Bell argues in his latest book, actually began more than a century earlier, during the Age of Napoleon.

In The First Total War: Napoleon's Europe and the Birth of Warfare as We Know It (Houghton Mifflin, 2007), Bell recounts the Age of Enlightenment and its impact on the bloody wars that raged through Europe from 1792 to 1815. The fighting during this period, waged on both land and sea (and with muskets and swords), caused nearly 5 million military and civilian deaths and affected every state on the continent. More to his central premise, this era also introduced such concepts as conscription, unconditional surrender, guerrilla warfare, disregard for the rules of combat, and the peculiar notion of war fought for the sake of total peace.

Bell, dean of faculty for the Krieger School and the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, sat down with the magazine to talk about his book, writing for a general audience, "Napoleon: The teen years," and how the specter of total war lives with us today.

Laughing With Hitler 6 of 6

Debunking the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion - fake document of Jewish World Conspiracy continues to fuel racism

This book originally published by the Russian Secret Police continues to influence conspiracy theories and racism. It's important for students to know where this came from that it was and remains a false claim and a forged document of a non-existent group.

The Nazis combined this nonsense with a twisted version of Darwin's theories to create their 'master race' theories. They also used their version of Darwin to justify 'the struggle' for race and space.

Is Hitler's racial ideology one key to understanding his strategic mistakes in World War 2?

How important are Hitler's racial views in understanding his decisions in World War 2?

Here is an extract from Hitler's speech to the Reichstag declaring war on the USA in 1941. 
It's racism is equally vile and preposterous. 

While an unprecedented revival of economic life, culture and art took place in Germany under National Socialist leadership within the space of a few years, President Roosevelt did not succeed in bringing about even the slightest improvements in his own country. And yet this work must have been much easier in the U.S.A. where there live scarcely 15 persons on a square kilometer, as against 140 in Germany. If such a country does not succeed in assuring economic prosperity, this must be a result either of the bad faith of its leaders in power, or of a total inefficiency on the part of the leading men. In scarcely five years, economic problems had been solved in Germany and unemployment had been overcome. During the same period, President Roosevelt had increased the State Debt of his country to an enormous extent, had decreased the value of the dollar, had brought about a further disintegration of economic life, without diminishing the unemployment figures. All this is not surprising if one bears in mind that the men he had called to support him, or rather, the men who had called him, belonged to the Jewish element, whose interests are all for disintegration and never for order. While speculation was being fought in National Socialist Germany, it thrived astoundingly under the Roosevelt regime.

Roosevelt's New Deal legislation was all wrong: it was actually the biggest failure ever experienced by one man. There can be no doubt that a continuation of this economic policy would have done this President in peace time, in spite of all his dialectical skill. In a European State he would surely have come eventually before a State Court on a charge of deliberate waste of the national wealth; and he would have scarcely escaped at the hands of a Civil Court, on a charge of criminal business methods.

This fact was realized and fully appreciated also by many Americans including some of high standing. A threatening opposition was gathering over the head of this man. He guessed that the only salvation for him lay in diverting public attention from home to foreign policy. It is interesting to study in this connection the reports of the Polish Envoy in Washington, Potocki. He repeatedly points out that Roosevelt was fully aware of the danger threatening the card castle of his economic system with collapse, and that he was therefore urgently in need of a diversion in foreign policy. He was strengthened in this resolve by the Jews around him. Their Old Testament thirst for revenge thought to see in the U.S.A. an instrument for preparing a second "Purim" for the European nations which were becoming increasingly anti-Semetic. The full diabolical meanness of Jewry rallied round this man, and he stretched out his hands.

How important is the Nazi Policy of Fatal Injections of mentally ill persons without their families' knowledge or consent? If Hitler and his government officials were willing to murder their own German citizens who were 'useless eaters' in Hitler's words, then is it logical to assume that the murder of the Jews, as a systematic policy is a logical extension of this mentality?

In "Mein Kampf", Hitler preached the need for LEBENSRAUM. He clearly states that the lands of Russia and the border states to the East were needed for Germany.

THE NAZIS - A WARNING FROM HISTORY - THE WRONG WAR - PART 1

If Hitler was worried about overpopulation why did he institute the award known as the Mother's Cross of Honour?

On this day in 1938, Adolf Hitler institutes the Mother’s Cross, to encourage German women to have more children, to be awarded each year on August 12, Hitler’s mother’s birthday.

The German Reich needed a robust and growing population and encouraged couples to have large families. It started such encouragement early. Once members of the distaff wing of the Hitler Youth movement, the League of German Girls, turned 18, they became eligible for a branch called Faith and Beauty, which trained these girls in the art of becoming ideal mothers. One component of that ideal was fecundity. And so each year, in honor of his beloved mother, Klara, and in memory of her birthday, a gold medal was awarded to women with seven children, a silver to women with six, and a bronze to women with five.

Indonesia's untold history - "The Act of Killing" - disturbing subject/ images for IB Students and older only

                                   Werner Herzog, Errol Morris talk about the film which has swept awards around the world.

What Indonesians really think about The Act of Killing

To understand how Oppenheimer's film challenges the Indonesian national narrative and the public discourse, it is essential to explore how the film is received and understood by an Indonesian audience. I screened The Act of Killing at a university in Yogyakarta. The audience – a mixed group of students, history professors, and friends of the university – included a former political prisoner who had spent 14 years of his life in captivity, where he experienced horrendous torture. He was never a communist; he wasn't even politically active. He still wonders why he was imprisoned under Suharto's regime. After the screening, he was profoundly touched, and he argued that the younger generations had to see this film so they could build a society with values far different from the ones Suharto established.

Indonesia's official history is plastered with anti-communist bias and fabrications that are presented as facts. The Indonesian school system is still, to a great extent, characterised by an authoritarian tradition – one of the reasons why many students have not been critical of the country's past. It's not surprising that the film provoked anger and frustration among the audience. Many felt betrayed by the political elite.
