That's why fake news and conspiracy theories are not just not funny, but outright dangerous. Arm yourself with facts to debunk conspiracy theories - so that whenever you hear anyone claim that: - the coronavirus was engineered in a Chinese lab, or - is a biological weapon created either by China, the USA or anyone else, or - 5G networks spread the virus, or -

A widely-believed conspiracy theory is that there's a secret government plot to spray chem-trails into the atmosphere. In reality, there is no good reason to believe that what we see in the sky are anything more than ordinary contrails. The arguments made by chem-trailers are deeply flawed and illogical, and their position is fundamentally unsupported by evidence.

Columbus is a controversial historical figure who is widely viewed as terrible. Every year we question whether we should continue to have a day to celebrate his discovery. But as with most stories, his bad deeds have been exaggerated to make him fit the role of a villain.
Steven C. Bullock: It's supposed to represent America being watched over by God, America being created under God's watchful eye. So how did the symbol get so tarnished? Why is it tangled in so many conspiracy theories? Check out this great video
Why can we find geometric shapes in the night sky? How can we know that at least two people in London have exactly the same number of hairs on their head?

Did the United States win or lose the Vietnam War? We are taught that it was a resounding loss for America, one that proves that intervening in the affairs of other nations is usually misguided. The truth is that our military won the war, but our politicians lost it.
The Communists in North Vietnam actually signed a peace treaty, effectively surrendering. But the U.S. Congress didn't hold up its end of the bargain. In just five minutes, learn the truth about who really lost the Vietnam War. Donate today to PragerU! http://l.prageru.com/2ylo1Yt

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan
The common assumption is that conspiracy theories are nothing more than the delusions of paranoid minds trying to make sense of an ever more complicated world. However, the evidence tells a different story. Conspiracy theories must conform to this logic, or they will not be successful. In this way, conspiracy theories are for losers.
Channel 4 News We speak to four conspiracy theory experts about the psychology of the people who believe them, their dangerous potential - and leaders like Donald Trump appear to use them for political ends.
