Well I mean there are tons. Pretty much everything that has to do with Jews ("Jews are running the world", "Jews want to end the X race", The Protocols of Zion, et al) and also everything that has to do with Jews but under a thin veil of sci-fi (Lizardmen anyone?). Anti-vaccination theories (in particular the type that suggests a generally genetic spectrum of mental states have to do with vaccination), generally anything that originates from taking a Holy Book literally. And a lot more.

Well, do wizards exist? Because if they don't, then any subset of them also do not exist.

See, the beliefs about black magic is strong in my country and the dukuns are also said to be exist.....some people still go to those to solve some problems. Personally I don't know what to believe about those, so I don't know.

Well, an interesting article. But I happen to know that Suharto was quite a right wing leader and not a communist at all. Surely, he would have hunted down any communist wizards during his time. Of course, since his departure 21 years ago, new ones can have sprung up :unsure:

(and yes, this can be construed as an argument that Suharto committed genocide against communist wizards :p, so I might not be entirely serious here)

Well, the novels of Sergej Lukanienko definitely say, they do (as some of his protagonists are ).
And then, why shouldn´t a wizard (saying, they do exist in RL is also a very dumb "conspiracy theory", imo; but I´m also no expert in quantum mechanics) be ideologically a "communist" ?

Has anyone ever heard about the "conpiracy theory" that Bielefeld (a town of about 330.000 inhabitants in Germany https://www.google.com/search?client=fi ... P0Q4dUDCAo) doesn´t exist, and if you go there (as I´ve been doing several times on my job) the people there are all hired actors, the buildings are fake, aso.
Originated from an experiment of some university about "conspiracy theories" and how they come in existence and expand a few decades in the past, and has since grown and attracted a big community which believes in it.

it can't be construed, because communist wizards aren't an ethnic group or race, just a profession and ideology.

I was told a novel conspiracy theory that provides a natural explanation for the disappearance of Christ's body from the tomb, and it involves the skeletons of a man and
woman that were discovered during excavations by monks in 1191 at Glastonbury Abbey, which Christian legends claim Joseph of Arimathea, the uncle of Jesus,
founded in the first century A.D.
Giraldus Cambrensis, a contemporary historian gave the official account which describes the discovery of the bones of a man and woman buried together inside a tree trunk
with a leaden cross bearing the inscription 'Here Lies the famous King Arthur on the Isle of Avalon.' Later historians suspected that the find was really propoganda to encourage
more pilgrimages to enrich the impoverished abbey, which did subsequently become one of the wealthiest and most visited of England's abbeys.
The theory of the burial site of Jesus and his secret wife Mary Magdalene is an extension of the legendary tale that Joseph of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail,
which contained Christ's shed blood, back to Glastonbury and buried it there within the grounds of the abbey; the theory states he also brought the remains of his nephew from
Jerusalem and buried them, too, later to be joined by the body of the woman whom history has always denied lived with him as a wife, Mary Magdalene.
Circumstantial evidence which supports the theory is the fact that the tomb was not seen by anybody outside of the abbey's order, that the tomb was reburied quickly on the
order of the Abbot, and the otherwise strange command of Edward I in 1278 that the tomb be disinterred in his presence and reburied properly with grand ceremony.
The revelation of the discovery of the tomb of Jesus and his secret wife, had it been disclosed to the rest of Christendom, would have brought severe ramifications upon a faith
which had Christ's supernatural nature of birth and death as one of its foundations, and would have devestated the status quo upon which the power of the lords spiritual rested.
Therefore, it is said, a conspiracy was formed amongst the ecclesiastical ruling classes to claim the tomb was of King Arthur, the legendary figure whose burial place of Avalon
was traditionally held to be at Glastonbury. The conspiracy aimed at both containing the Abbey's secret and elevating its reputation to ensure the Abbey a permanent lucrative
popularity. Did Glastonbury Abbey's claim as the holiest of religious sites of England really rest on it's secret status as the final resting place of the man whose teachings
became the basis of the greatest religion in the world?

By becoming a communist and ritually sacrificing one of the bourgeoisie.

Trotsky was a wizard who used his powers to thwart Stalin's assassins, but he ran out of mana.

Seriously guys.

There are no Nazis on the moon.

There was no secret Nazi space program.

The Nazis did not launch an ailing Hitler into space to transplant his brain into an immortal robot in their secret cybernetic labs on the dark side of the moon.

Adolf Hitler is not postponing the invasion of earth by wasting time dismissing silly conspiracy theories on the internet.

The government faked the plane crash and demolished the WTC north tower with explosives. The south tower, in a simultaneous but unrelated plot, was brought down by actual terrorists.

So I take it that ice picks are the traditional anti-wizardry weapon, and all that was needed to stop Voldemort was a visit to a sporting goods store?

That's a pretty good one because it's just plain ludicrous enough to call out. Joseph of Arimathea, who was a wealthy man but by no means a Crassus, spent a substantial amount of his time and money traveling to Britain to found a Christian abbey, but then, despite the Resurrection of Christ being the most important and critical part of Christianity turning out to be a total lie, he spent another fortune transplanting the bodies of his dead nephew and his wife to be buried in a truly backwater province of the Roman Empire rather than in Judea, where Jesus was from.

In regards to the OP, a personal favorite of mine is the Protocols of the Elders of Zion; the mastermind Jews who control the world are so devious in their plans that they coerced upstanding Christian Europeans to document their nefarious schemes via plagiarism from mediocre French and German writers of the mid-19th century. Bastards!

The conspiracy theory that the Illuminati doesn't exist in some form and that we aren't heading towards an NWO/1984 scenario (assuming you take the pessimistic approach and think we're already there). That's probably the most smoothbrained one I've ever encountered, and sadly it's popular.

The problem with your theory is that we already know there's a clique essentially running the world... and we know nearly most of them by name too. There's nothing "secret" about them, or the fact we're going towards 1984.

I remember back in the day there was this NWO nut that believed the Governments were trying to mind control the populous.

This doesn't sound like anything unique, but here is where it gets interesting. He believes that the US gov was trying to undermine his faith in God and control his mind by using meat. Yeah, he was some insane vegan who thought that physically eating meat brainwashed you into undyingly supporting the US government and, by extension, the Jewish (because no conspiracy is complete without the Jews) World Order.

I wonder what happened to him tbh. Maybe he came to his senses and realized that the US government isn't drugging our meat. Or maybe he's still a crazy nutjob.
