Since the country's founding, conspiracies have been part of American culture, but with the rise of social media, we're witnessing an increase in people believing in non-traditional explanations for events and occurrences. This reading will highlight a subset of conspiratorial beliefs that grew in popularity in the early twenty-first century. This mindset, combined with the growing cynicism of the media, has left conspiracy theorists with deep distrust of those in positions of authority as they seek to understand the inexplicable. Readers will understand how conspiracy theories have become a vital part of society. This book explores a number of theories that have arisen over the years. From QAnon conspiracies regarding the United States government to UFO reports and other hidden agendas, it is clear that we continue to challenge old ways of thinking.
