Humanity is driven by a desire to find purpose in the chaos and randomness of existence. We construct meaningful narratives to decipher the intricacies of life, crafting modern myths that rival the epic tales of Greek deities battling titans or Norse gods clashing with frost giants.
10. The Antarctic Conflict

Conspiracy theories about the United States using weather manipulation and seismic activities as weapons have persisted for decades. Recent claims suggest that HAARP technology, once exclusive to the U.S., is now allegedly utilized by global powers like China, Russia, and even Norway. These theories propose that secretive installations in remote areas, particularly in Antarctica, are linked to this advanced technology, marking the continent as a new battleground in this clandestine war.
The Chinese base, reportedly located at the Zhong Shan Antarctic Polar Station, is said to be connected to a facility in Svalbard, developed in collaboration with a Finnish university. Conspiracy theorists warn that dominance over Antarctica could enable the deployment of advanced ionosphere-manipulating technology, capable of triggering earthquakes and altering weather patterns with catastrophic consequences.
Beyond HAARP-related conflicts, conspiracy platforms claim that Julian Assange possesses evidence of a covert UFO battle involving the US Air Force in Antarctica. Allegedly, in 2004, a fleet of UFOs surfaced from Antarctic waters and headed toward Guadalajara, Mexico. US fighter jets were dispatched, and the UFOs reportedly vanished beneath the ocean. Similar incidents have been reported near Argentina and Chile.
These enigmatic vessels, described as reptoid in origin, allegedly targeted Chinese submarines using a tsunami-based weapon, resulting in injuries but no deaths. Humanity is said to have retaliated, with US space-based disintegration weapons reportedly annihilating three UFOs near the coasts of South Africa, Chile, and Peru.
9. Economic Warfare Against Russia

A widespread conspiracy theory in Russia suggests that the United States and Saudi Arabia are deliberately working to undermine and destabilize the Russian economy. In late 2014, oil prices plummeted from $114 to approximately $60 per barrel. Since the Russian ruble closely follows oil prices, this led to a historic decline in the currency's value, prompting Russians to hoard imported goods and foreign currency as the economy shrank by 5 percent. Western sanctions related to the Ukraine crisis further restricted Russian businesses from refinancing debts in international markets.
Many Russians view this economic turmoil as a Western plot. By maintaining high oil production levels, Saudi Arabia drives down oil prices, benefiting the West while crippling Russia's economy. New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman has suggested that the US aims to “pump [the Russians] to death.” This theory is also supported by figures like Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and Iranian president Hassan Rouhani.
On the other hand, some argue that the situation is not a conspiracy but rather a result of Saudi Arabia's efforts to protect its market share, coupled with economic slowdowns in China, Japan, and Europe, as well as increased oil production in the US. Dr. Gorana Grgic from the University of Sydney’s US Studies Center explains that the scenario is “more nuanced than a simple US-Saudi plot to target Russia and Iran. [ . . . ] While weakening Russia and Iran, which have high oil production costs, is a favorable outcome, it is not the main objective.
8. Conflict on Mars

Previously, we discussed the claims of alleged whistle-blower Captain Kaye, also known as Randy Cramer, who asserted that he spent 17 years defending human colonies on Mars as part of the Earth Defense Force. This force reportedly includes military personnel from the United States, China, and Russia. Cramer stated that he participated in super-soldier initiatives like Projects Mannequin and Moonshadow before being deployed to Mars following a covert US landing in 1996. He also served aboard the interstellar ship EDF SS Nautilus and had a brief assignment at the Lunar Operations Command on the Moon's far side.
According to Cramer, his primary base was Forward Station Zebra, the northernmost Earth outpost on Mars. He claimed that the Martian atmosphere is largely breathable, requiring an environment suit only for surface excursions. Initial conflicts were primarily against the planet's indigenous reptilian and insectoid species, with the southern tribes being notably more hostile than their northern counterparts.
The conflict escalated into a four-way war when the interstellar Draconian reptilians intervened. Although these invaders were largely defeated by the native reptoids, the war persisted until a devastating incident nearly obliterated Cramer’s station and its counterpart, resulting in approximately 520 casualties. Following this event, Cramer was regressed 17 years and transferred into a younger clone body. Before his memory was erased, he was honored with a retirement celebration on the Moon, attended by Donald Rumsfeld.
7. Contemporary Psychological Warfare

Stories about the US military-industrial complex and the Soviet Union competing to harness the human mind's potential, including remote viewing and psychic abilities, are well-known. However, eccentric former KGB psychic Boris Ratnikov claims these efforts persist. After the Soviet Union's collapse, he utilized his psychic skills within the FSB, safeguarding Boris Yeltsin from mental espionage, blocking the transfer of the Kurile Islands to Japan, and averting a border conflict with China.
Ratnikov reportedly understood the gravity of the situation when his superior, Georgy Rogozin, allegedly read the thoughts of US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright during NATO's bombing of Serbia:
We detected a deep-seated animosity toward Slavs. [Albright] harbored resentment over Russia's vast mineral reserves, believing they should benefit all humanity under US oversight rather than remain under a single nation's control.
Ratnikov also asserted that his team psychically probed former US Ambassador to Russia Robert Strauss, uncovering that the US embassy possessed devices for psychotronic manipulation targeting Moscow's residents.
While Ratnikov's outlandish theories are easily dismissed, his assertions about insights gained from psychic investigations of US officials in the 1990s are often cited in Russia as factual. In 2015, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev referenced these claims, stating, “You undoubtedly recall ex-US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's remark that neither Siberia nor the Far East rightfully belong to Russia.” Some worry that the ideas of this former KGB psychic continue to shape the beliefs of Russian nationalists today.
6. The Illuminati and ISIS Connection

The sinister Illuminati are allegedly orchestrating a dual assault on both Islam and the Western world by manipulating ISIS as a proxy. This explains the group's peculiarly Westernized name. While it appears as the “Islamic State of Syria and Iraq,” the true inspiration is the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis, revered by the Illuminati in various forms throughout history, including Ishtar, Mother Mary, and Lady Justice.
The name of alleged ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is cited as further evidence of this scheme. Abu Bakr was a companion of Muhammad who played a key role in the Sunni-Shia divide, while al-Baghdadi symbolizes the ambition to dominate all of Iraq.
A theorist, who claims to have received his insights from demons (making even him skeptical about the details), asserts that Islamic prophecy predicts a clash between Islam and the Illuminati. This prophecy mentions a “one-eyed” Antichrist figure called Dajjal, linked to the Illuminati through their one-eyed pyramid emblem. Dajjal represents Western nations under Illuminati control, destined to be vanquished by the Mahdi and Islamic Jesus, interpreted here as the Antichrist and Satan. According to this theory, the Illuminati are pawns in Satan's plan to globalize Islam, with ISIS being a tool supported by Mossad and the CIA to facilitate this agenda.
5. US-China Conflict

The potential for war between the United States and China is a major 21st-century geopolitical concern, but some argue it has already begun. The August 2015 Tianjin explosion, which claimed 114 lives, is believed by some to have been caused by a US kinetic energy weapon, often referred to as a “Rod of God.” This weapon involves tungsten projectiles orbiting Earth, capable of striking any surface target with the force of a large conventional bomb, offering a non-nuclear, precision-based global strike capability.
Beijing responded by swiftly censoring all details about the explosion, while reports emerged of black helicopters flying over the capital. Subsequent explosions at a Zhejiang chemical plant in September were also attributed by conspiracy theorists to US attacks. These strikes were allegedly retaliation for China's plans to introduce a gold-backed currency and sell off US debt, perceived as efforts to undermine the US economy.
China is rumored to have retaliated with a sabotage device that triggered explosions at the Sagami General Depot, a US ammunition storage facility near Tokyo. Additionally, this covert conflict is said to explain sightings of Chinese naval vessels in the Bering Sea off Alaska and Russian spy ships near Florida and Georgia.
4. The Khazarian Mafia Conspiracy

A peculiar modern twist on anti-Semitic ideology is the Khazarian mafia theory, which frames Judaism as a global criminal network wielding ancient Babylonian magic to dominate the world. The Khazars, a steppe-dwelling people in Ukraine who adopted Judaism, are depicted as a society governed by occult leaders, steeped in practices of murder, theft, and identity fraud. Their adoption of Judaism is portrayed as a facade for a child-sacrificing cult dedicated to Baal (or Moloch or Lucifer), symbolized by the worship of an owl.
As neighboring states prepared to attack Khazaria, its population allegedly used an extensive spy network to flee to the West. They purportedly manipulated Oliver Cromwell to invade England and seize control of London's banking system through Babylonian financial sorcery, or the creation of wealth via usury. The theory also claims the Khazarian mafia orchestrated the rise of the Rothschilds, originally known as the Bauers of the Red Shield. Throughout history, this group is said to have waged war against Abrahamic religions, monarchies, global nations, and specifically Russia and the US.
The Khazarian mafia is alleged to have orchestrated the Holocaust as a means to establish their own state, posing as descendants of ancient Judeans and leveraging their influence within the US government to strengthen their power. They are also accused of being the hidden force behind the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Their ultimate aim is believed to be global domination, governed by their religious and organizational authority.
As reported by Veterans Today, one of their agents was allegedly heard in a bar outlining their plans for America:
If we’re exposed, they’ll simply replace us with others like us. It doesn’t matter what you do—America is a Golden Calf, and we’ll drain it, dismantle it, and sell it off piece by piece until only the world’s largest welfare state remains, which we will control. Why? Because it’s god’s will, and America is large enough to endure the damage, allowing us to repeat the process endlessly. This is how we punish nations that defy us. We destroy them gradually, ensuring they suffer for refusing to submit.
The Khazarian mafia conspiracy claims that the Israeli government is a facade for a group responsible for every major catastrophe in history, as well as modern issues like economic crises and the rise of extremist Islam. Despite the lack of credible evidence and the implausibility of such a secretive organization existing, some individuals genuinely believe that Babylonian Khazar Nazi Communist Banker Jews are behind all global atrocities.
3. Alien Proxy Conflict

Earth's political conflicts are allegedly part of a broader cosmic struggle, with alien factions using humans as proxies in their battle for planetary control. One faction is the Galactic Federation of Light, established 4.5 million years ago to counter interdimensional dark forces. This Federation includes over 200,000 star nations or alliances, most of which are fully conscious and approximately 40 percent humanoid. Their mission is to oversee humanity's evolution and ensure its proper ascension.
Opposing them is the oppressive Draco-Orion Imperium, consisting of reptilian beings from Alpha Draconis and the cloned grey aliens of Zeta Reticuli (or Orion), who are controlled via mind implants. The Imperium has reportedly conquered numerous worlds in our galactic region and has been attempting to dominate Earth since at least 1933, when the greys allegedly struck a deal with the Nazis to provide advanced weaponry. Today, they are said to collaborate with Earth's military-industrial complex in their quest for global control, while a Galactic Federation blockade near Neptune thwarts Draconian fleet advancements.
A vast array of online resources detail this extraterrestrial proxy war, often presenting conflicting accounts and involving numerous alien races reportedly active on Earth. Malevolent or questionable groups include the Draconians, Orions, Earth's indigenous reptilians (who manipulate financial and religious systems), the Annunaki (who aim to control human evolution), and the Sirians (who trade advanced weapons but also exploit humans in time travel experiments). Additionally, there are supposedly benign races like the Lyrans, Vegans, Pleiadians, Ummites, Andromedans, and others.
These theories appear to be an evolution of conspiracy thinking, offering a universal framework that encompasses the diverse alien species reported by abductees and fringe theorists worldwide. If true, Earth would be at the heart of an intricate, multi-faceted cosmic conflict. However, it seems unlikely that our small planet holds such extraordinary significance.
2. US-Inner Earth Alliance

Alarming claims of a covert plan for global control have been made by Sorcha Faal, a figure many believe to be an internet hoaxer named David Booth, allegedly a CIA disinformation operative. Others suggest Sorcha Faal represents a centuries-old Ashkenazi Jewish witch cabal dating back to the 13th century. In 2012, Sorcha Faal reportedly obtained information from a German spy captured by the Russian FSB, who allegedly revealed evidence of a secret alliance between the United States and inner Earth forces aimed at achieving worldwide dominance.
The spy, identified as Manfred K., allegedly worked at the US-NATO Ramstein Air Base in Rheinland-Pfalz, where he accessed classified documents. These included Nazi records from the 1930s and 1940s detailing secret Antarctic underground bases. Speculation suggests the US acquired advanced atomic and jet engine technology from the Nazis in exchange for allowing their leaders to escape to Antarctica. Operation Highjump, a 1946 US mission to seize these bases, was reportedly thwarted by the Nazis. Now, the US is said to have struck a sinister deal for global power, with Russia positioned as humanity's potential savior.
1. Satan’s War

Some Christian groups consider Satanism to be the world's oldest religion. (They likely view their own faith not as a religion but as absolute truth.) This conflict is primarily spiritual, invisible to those not aligned with the divine. Satan, a fallen cherub, commands an army of free demons, while another group remains bound in darkness until judgment day.
The belief is that Satan, aware of his inevitable defeat, aims to hinder human salvation and drag as many souls as possible into damnation, driven by sheer malice. He wages a battle for the mind, exploiting human weaknesses like carnal desires, intellectual arrogance, and worldly pride to blind humanity to the truth of Christ.
Conspiracy theorist Henry Makow claims that Satanists have infiltrated most religious institutions and secret societies, including the Golden Dawn, Freemasonry, and the Jesuits. Churches with 501(c)3 tax-exempt status are allegedly Satanic fronts influenced by the federal government, with larger churches being more corrupt. Makow regards the King James Bible as the authentic word of God, while modern translations like the New International Version are seen as instruments of Satan.
Christians aren’t alone in their belief in Satan’s war against humanity. Some Muslim sources describe Satan and his Jinn tribe’s efforts to control humans through intoxicants like alcohol and drugs, which weaken spiritual defenses, and through gambling, which contradicts divine purpose. Falling under Satan’s influence leads to emotional pain, illness, and financial ruin. Only through repentance and unwavering faith in Allah can Satan’s influence be overcome.
