4. Pearl Harbor Was Propaganda
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese air force carried out a surprise attack on American soil. The attack was carried out at Pearl Harbor naval base in Hawaii. Conspiracy theorists believe that President Roosevelt knew about the impending attack but did nothing to warn the base or prevent it. At the time, he wanted to go to war with Germany but did not have the public support. Allowing the attack to take place would change public opinion on the war. This theory rests on the false assumption that Germany and Japan had signed a pact stating that if one country went into war, they all would. The two countries did sign a pact, but it was only a defensive alliance. While Hitler did declare war on the United States after Pearl Harbor, it had nothing to do with the Japanese attacking first. In reality, allowing the attack would have no true influence on the war with Germany. If anything, dealing with Japan created a distraction from the main war.
3. Kurt Cobain Was Taken Out
Kurt Cobain’s untimely death came as a shock to many music lovers around the world. Some believe that he did not commit suic*de but was actually murdered. They argue that his suic*de note looks like a forgery given that the writing at the beginning of the note and that at the end of it look completely different. They also point to the fact that Cobain had three times the fatal dose of heroin in his body when he ended his life. It would be really hard for someone in that state to pull the trigger. Theorists believe that Courtney Love shot Cobain and put the gun in his hands to stage a suicide. These claims are a bit skewed, given that Cobain was an active drug user; he could have built up a tolerance over the lethal limit. Also, given that he was in a deteriorating state, it is plausible that his handwriting could have changed towards the end of his note.
