New World Order? Locking down populations, forcing people to stay at home for extended periods of time, forcing them to take "medications" etc? Next step would be state enforced use of digital currencies, taking the control to next level.

Conspiracy theories, of course.

    Of course, they are among us.
    
    They always were. 
    
    That is why there is no evidence.
    
    If they were not, we would know...

    And if the truth is not out there, it's right in front 
    of you.

    So, who want's to believe too?

No need for special things like "conspiracy theory". Can be just prelude to some soon in cinemas movie :> Like "2012" and Earth doing scary things.

But yea - govs are well known for doing many stupid thinghs.

That is not a new theory, the fake alien invasion has been going around for the last 2 years, and its roots are probably the Watchmen graphic novel, then later cowboy vs aliens.
