The 9-11 Conspiracy

For hundreds of years, conspiracy theories have stemmed and evolved about various events, raising major controversies, but before we examine the different types, let's ask ourselves: what even is a conspiracy theory? A conspiracy theory is a belief that explains an event or situation as being a result of a scheme by an organization, group or the government.
