Conspiracy Theories – II

Some of the following conspiracy theories are still alive and kicking but some are very funny, specially ‘Paul is Dead’.

Paul Is Dead

conspiracy-minded Beatlemaniacs say, Paul McCartney secretly died in 1966. Theorists claim the other Beatles covered up his death — hiring someone who looked like him, sang like him, and had the same jovial personality.

Holocaust Revisionism

Despite overwhelming evidence and an admission and apology from Germany decades ago, revisionists continue to claim that nearly 6 million Jews were not killed by Nazis during the Holocaust. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, for one, has called the Holocaust a "myth" and suggested that Germany and other European countries, rather than Palestine, provide land for a Jewish state.

Adolf Hitler Fakes Death

The official history of Adolf Hitler is that he committed suicide on April 30, 1945, however, there are a number of people who don't believe this and think that he faked his death. It is believed that Hitler had a stand-in and that this stand-in was the one that was found death in the bunker in Germany.

Area 51

Area 51 is a base located in southern Nevada that is tied to many UFO sightings. The base is believed to be a location that was formerly used by the United States Government to research and reverse engineer extraterrestrial spacecraft technology. It is also believed that there may have also been aliens from another planet there as well. The base is monitored 24/7 by vehicles and signs are posted miles away from the facility saying it is a restricted area and that photography is prohibited.

CIA Drug Trafficking

The CIA has a long history of drug trafficking. Case after case show that the CIA it not so much interested in stopping the illegal drug trade, but actually finding a way to use this drug trade to their advantage, both financially and otherwise. In exchange for information on rival drug cartels the CIA has been known to grant immunity to import large quantities of drugs across borders into the United States.

Abraham Lincoln Assassination

The assassination of Abraham Lincoln has many different conspiracy theories revolving around it. The main assassination by John Wilkes Booth is generally agreed upon by most camps, however, whether Booth operated alone or whether he was used by a group of individuals is up for debate.

Jesus Married To Mary Magdeline

There is a growing conspiracy, greatly heightened by the book, "Holy Blood Holy Grail", and then brought into mainstream attention with the movie the Da Vinci Code. Many believe that Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdeline and then his bloodline was brought over to France where the descendents went on to become the Merovingians.

Princess Diana Murdered by British Royal Family

The official story is that Princess Diana was killed in an auto accident on August 31, 1997. However, many people, including her partner's father, Mohammed Al-Fayed, believed that her death was actually a planned murder carried out by Prince Philip, Prince Charles and MI6.

Conspiracy Theories – I

While scanning through some websites got some of the world most fascination conspiracy made by the government or by the secret agencies. 

9/11 was Planned by the US Government

Many conspiracy theories have been presented concerning the September 11, 2001 attacks, many of them claiming that President George W. Bush and/or individuals in his administration knew about the attacks beforehand and purposefully allowed them to occur because the attacks would generate public support for militarization, expansion of the police state, and other intrusive foreign and domestic policies by which they would benefit.

A flying saucer crashed at Roswell in 1947

The Roswell UFO Incident involved the recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, USA, in July 1947, which have since become the subject of intense speculation, rumor, questioning and research. There are widely divergent views on what actually happened, and passionate debate about what evidence can be believed. The United States military maintains that what was recovered was a top-secret research balloon that had crashed.

John F. Kennedy’s Assassination

The 35th President of the United States was shot on Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas at 12.30pm . He was fatally wounded by gunshots while riding with his wife - Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy - in a motorcade. The ten-month investigation of the Warren Commission of 1963 to 1964, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) of 1976 to 1979, and other government investigations concluded that the President had been assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald - who was himself shot dead by Jack Ruby while in police custody

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax

Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations are claims that some or all elements of the Apollo Moon landings were faked by NASA and possibly members of other involved organizations. Some groups and individuals have advanced alternate historical narratives which tend, to varying degrees, to state that the Apollo Astronauts did not land on the moon, and that NASA created and continues to perpetuate this hoax.

HIV Was Invented to Get Rid of Black People

The idea that HIV was invented by humans deliberately, to get rid of black people and homosexuals, is widely regarded as a conspiracy theory. While there are a number of theories which claim to explain the genesis of HIV there is only one theory which is scientifically credible.

HIV disproportionately affects black people and one of the first groups to present with HIV in the United States was gay men. This is where the theory that HIV was engineered to rid society of black people and gay people probably came from. However the reasons why black people are more likely to be infected with HIV and why gay men were the first to present with HIV are largely due to biomedical, social, political and material factors, not because they were purposely targeted for elimination.

Estimated 30 million people are enslaved worldwide or trafficked into brothels. They forced into labour or pushed to the flesh trade.

It is shame that India is standing at fourth spot and almost half of the world modern slaves are in India. All 162 countries, be it developed, developing or under developed the modern slavery still exists. The above pieced of information surveyed by Walk Free, an Australian-based rights group.

 In the western part of India’s capital city, New Delhi, more than 5,000 domestic worker placement agencies operate out of a nondescript neighborhood called Shakurpur Basti. For years, the agencies have flourished by indulging in the business of trafficking minor girls and selling them as domestic slaves in the cities. To expose this racket of trafficking and to uncover their modus operandi, we waited for days with a hidden camera, posing as a family interested in employing a girl.

The agencies liaise with natives of remote villages, mostly from the eastern part of India, who, as “local agents” carry out the first step in the trafficking process. The agents identify underage girls from extremely poor families and lure them to the city with the promise of a good job. Once the girls are in the city, the agents sell them for about Rs. 10000 each to a domestic worker placement agency. The agency then re-sells her to a family as domestic labor.

Mumbai : A Mumbai trader has been arrested for allegedly torturing an 11-year-old who was forced to eat chillies which were also rubbed on her body.

LAHORE: Erum Ramazan, a 10-year-old domestic help, and Azra, 16, were allegedly killed by their employers.

"The victim was working at Jain's house for over four months. She was employed through a  placement agency," a police officer said. The 24-year-old domestic help, who is from West Bengal, told the police that she was burnt by her employer with a hot iron whenever she demanded her salary. The woman has alleged that she was kept confined in the house, and had managed to get out of the house on Wednesday and call out to a neighbour for help.

New Delhi: MP Dhananjay Singh's wife Jagriti Singh, 10 months ago. On Monday, she died after a  particularly savage beating through the Diwali weekend, all because she hadn't woken her employer on time.

Mr Singh has also been arrested for destruction of evidence and abetment to murder.

New Delhi:  A 13-year-old domestic help, who was allegedly assaulted and locked up by her employer, was rescued from Sarojini Nagar in south Delhi last evening. The girl claimed that she was frequently beaten up and kept locked in her room for days by her employer who works as an airhostess.

? Years of a Slaves – I

No, this is neither a pick from the Oscar wining movie ‘12 Years of Slave’ nor from the reel but real. In 21^st century the slavery still exits. Twenty-one million human still treated as slaves on record and as reveled by Steve McQueen in his Oscar acceptance speech. However, of the record you peep at your neighbourhood and you can find it everywhere. A dream for better life ends up with lots of pain and humiliation. Torture, hunger, exploitation and sexual abuse are the part of parcel in the disguise.

In Arabian countries, maids and unskilled labours are treated as slaves. Almost all these people have to work for day and night to fulfill optimism. Their little dream forced them to travel the distance.

Incredibly increasing rate of maid abuse in the Arab countries has raised trepidations over the lack of strict laws. According to a survey conducted by the Saudi magazine, more than three million maids in the Gulf countries are living in awful conditions and more incidents of verbal and physical abuse are reported.

Migrant workers, however, are also important to the global economy, particularly in the developing world. Last year, migrant workers sent $316 billion home to developing countries is more than three times the amount the countries received in formal foreign aid.

1.	Nelfa Baltar, a Filipina maid, secured the conviction of her Egyptian employers in Abu Dhabi after she had been burned with cigarettes on her hands and face and with a lighted match below her eyes.
2.	A Sri Lankan housemaid fled to her embassy in Abu Dhabi after a local housewife had heated a knife on a gas cooker and burned her on the neck, body and arms for breaking a plate. She had been whipped by the husband of the family when she demanded to leave, punched in the chest by the wife for lapses in her work and fed scraps from the kitchen.
3.	An employer tortured her maid to death in an attempt to force her to become better at housework.
4.	An Emirati woman abused the Ethiopian maid daily after she moved in during Ramadan in Abu Dhabi. She poured boiling water over the maid and tied her up with electrical wire,. The maid was found dead in her employer's bathroom.
5.	Sumiati BT Salan Mustapa used to work for a family in Medina. Mustapa was admitted to a private hospital in Medina injured from head to toe in an unconscious state. The private hospital was unable to treat her serious injuries and she was transferred to the King Fahd hospital. Mustapa’s body “was burned on many places, both legs were almost motionless, some parts of her skin on her head were removed and strong marks of old wounds were on her body including skin loss on lips and head, a fractured middle finger and a cut near an eye.” Mustapa also showed signs of malnutrition or excessive blood loss.

The people from the countries like in the gulf and other Arab world with their enormous easily access wealth and little respect of fellow human are always famous for ill treating their unskilled employs but they are not the only one. In my next blog I will carry out some more chilling incidents.
