Claim Families

Conspiracy theories often change names while keeping the same evidence habit. These families help readers compare a claim with nearby cases instead of treating every rumor as an isolated mystery.

Confirmed State Misconduct

5 examples

Cases where documents, hearings, court records, admissions, or official investigations show covert programs or institutional wrongdoing.

Evidence question

Is there a primary record trail: documents, budgets, named officials, hearings, admissions, or court-tested evidence?

Coverage gaps
  • CIA crack cocaine / Dark Alliance
  • October Surprise 1980
  • USS Liberty cover-up

Crisis-Event Rumors

4 examples

False-flag, staged-event, crisis-actor, synthetic-media, and harmful attribution claims that appear before records settle.

Evidence question

Does the claim identify a verifiable actor and mechanism, or does it connect early confusion, artifacts, and motive speculation?

Coverage gaps
  • White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting staged claims
  • Trump/Butler assassination-attempt theories
  • AI-generated crisis survivor hoaxes

Elite-Control Narratives

4 examples

Claims that real elite networks, finance systems, policy forums, or philanthropists prove a hidden command structure.

Evidence question

Does the evidence show influence and access, or authenticated operational control over the alleged outcome?

Coverage gaps
  • George Soros claims
  • FedNow mark-of-beast claims
  • BRICS dollar-collapse date claims

Medical Scare Cycles

4 examples

Recurring health narratives that move from anecdote to hidden-cause claim, then to suppressed-cure or monetized solution.

Evidence question

Does the causal claim survive systematic reviews, trial data, surveillance data, and confounding checks?

Coverage gaps
  • Turbo cancer claims
  • mRNA vaccine shedding claims
  • Parasite cleanse cure networks

UFO Document Provenance

4 examples

Claims where the decisive question is whether a document, image, artifact, witness account, or leak has a reliable chain of custody.

Evidence question

Can the source be authenticated independently, and does it establish extraterrestrial claims rather than secrecy or ambiguity?

Coverage gaps
  • Artemis II staged / AI-image claims
  • Alien autopsy media provenance
  • AARO report tracker

Weather and Disaster Attribution

4 examples

Claims that attach real weather modification, infrastructure failure, land politics, or disaster response to a hidden intentional cause.

Evidence question

Does the claim prove scale, mechanism, timing, and actor, or only point to real technology and a tragic outcome?

Coverage gaps
  • Cloud-seeding disaster attribution
  • Maui wildfire land-grab claims
  • FEMA disaster-aid confiscation claims

Synthetic Media and Platform Claims

4 examples

Internet-era claims built from bots, AI images, screenshots, engagement manipulation, surveillance fears, or algorithmic amplification.

Evidence question

Is there technical provenance, platform data, or forensic analysis, or is the claim based on a screenshot and suspicion?

Coverage gaps
  • AI war-footage provenance claims
  • Synthetic screenshot attribution claims
  • Data broker location-tracking claims
