With at least one of them courtesy of Lyndon LaRouche! Just some of the best ones:

• The Beatles were designed and sent to the U.S. by the British Psychological Warfare Division, to undermine the morals of American teenagers. (Lyndon LaRouche)

• WWII was staged. It never really happened. The Illuminati employed elaborate special effects, stage magic, and phony journalism to scare the world into pacifism. (Donald Holmes)

• George H.W. Bush was really George Scherff Sr., a Nazi sent to destroy America as a teenager and adopted by Prescott Bush (Scherff was also an assistant to Nikola Tesla, and stole all Tesla's inventions after he was murdered by Otto Skorzeny and Reinhard Gehlen). Hitler was still alive in Montana in 1997, and Josef Mengele is keeping himself alive and youthful with a regimen of hormones and cannibalism. Oh, and Curious George was inspired by a young George Scherff Jr.; that's probably why Alan J. Shalleck was murdered by two men he met through a gay sex network one day before the movie premiered. (this information comes from a man named Eric Berman, who claims he heard it straight from his girlfriend's dad, Otto Skorzeny, in Florida during the late '90s. Skorzeny died in Madrid in 1975.)

• Stephen King killed John Lennon. (Steve Lightfoot)

4. My step-sister believes that JFK wasn't killed, but injured and taken to a Greek island

for safety's sake. There, he lived out his life with Jackie, whose marriage to Greek tycoon Onassis was just a ruse.

nonetheless.

18. Mine Too

Gee, that would only involve like 5,000 people working for middle class wages to have never said a word. Not to mention the completely wrong "science" they use to prove their point. (Best example: The lack of dust on the landing pads. In a place with no atmosphere, there would be NOTHING to prevent the landing rockets from pushing the dust in that area dozens of meters out of the way. Simple physics. But, nooooo!)
