3 documented theories filed under this subject.
- The Tsunami Weapon (2004)A disaster-conspiracy theory claiming that the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 was not solely the result of a massive undersea earthquake, but was triggered, intensified, or deliberately caused by an underwater nuclear test or other exotic weapons activity by the United States, India, or another state. The theory grew from the sheer scale of the catastrophe, the existence of past “tsunami bomb” research, and widespread mistrust of military geophysics.
- The Project for the New American Century (PNAC)A post-9/11 theory claiming that the neoconservative think tank Project for the New American Century had already outlined the strategic shape of a more aggressive U.S. military century and that its language about a “catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor” reflected not only strategic wishfulness but foreknowledge, intent, or readiness to exploit a major attack in order to justify wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
- The Teapot Dome Oil Prince PlotThe Teapot Dome Oil Prince Plot was the theory that the famous corruption scandal surrounding the secret leasing of federal naval oil reserves in the Harding administration was only the visible surface of a much larger hidden agenda. In this expanded interpretation, the bribery scandal around Albert B. Fall and oil magnates such as Edward L. Doheny and Harry F. Sinclair functioned as a deliberate distraction from a deeper geopolitical scheme—most dramatically, a plan to reverse the 1867 Alaska Purchase and transfer Alaska back into Russian hands through a concealed resource bargain. The historical Teapot Dome scandal involved secret leases, bribery, and Senate investigation, but the Alaska sale-back layer belonged to the rumor tradition that attached itself to the scandal’s exceptional corruption and secrecy.
