It is important to note that conspiracy theories are not always false. Liberals often ridicule conspiracy theories, except when they resort to them to excuse their own failure as when Hillary lost an election that she was heavily favored to win by the [[mainstream media]].  Indeed, many of the most extreme theories are pushed hard by liberals.<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2014/08/21/conspiracy-theories-arent-just-for-conservatives/</ref> In addition to liberals' false conspiracy theory that collusion with Russia enabled [[Donald Trump]] to defeat [[Hillary Clinton]] for president, additional notable conspiracy theories are set forth below.

A considerable anount of 'conspiracy theories' are anti Jewish fantasies, explicit or indirect, often using euphemism. Studies show that [[antisemitic]] conspiracy theories are often linked, not just to one political spectrum, but are most strongly associated with a general predisposition towards conspiratorial thinking and a belief in malevolent, global, elite control.<ref>Google search, Apr 28, 2026 [https://archive.is/dXkNn]</ref> There are no known wide held "conspiracy theories" which cast Jews in a positive light. Even when stereotypes seem positive, such as claiming Jewish people are "all-powerful," they are designed to invoke fear, resentment, and a belief that they are working against the interests of others.<ref>[https://www.ajc.org/news/10-tough-questions-on-antisemitism-explained ACJ]</ref>

A significant number of “conspiracy theories” rely on antisemitic tropes—sometimes overt, sometimes disguised through coded language or euphemism. Research indicates that these narratives are not confined to a single political ideology but instead correlate most strongly with a broader tendency toward conspiratorial thinking and a belief in shadowy, all-powerful elites controlling world events. In many cases, Jewish people are unfairly cast into these roles, reflecting long-standing prejudices rather than evidence-based claims.<ref>Google search, Apr 28, 2026 [https://archive.is/dXkNn]</ref>

Notably, there are virtually no widely circulated conspiracy theories that portray Jewish people in a genuinely positive or constructive light. Even claims that might appear superficially flattering—such as assertions that Jewish individuals are “all-powerful” or uniquely influential—are rooted in harmful stereotypes. These ideas are often used to provoke suspicion, fear, and resentment, perpetuating the false notion that Jewish communities act in opposition to the broader public good rather than being diverse, contributing members of society.<ref>[https://www.ajc.org/news/10-tough-questions-on-antisemitism-explained ACJ]</ref>
