*The influence of [[secret societies]], [[fraternal organizations]], and various [[religion|religious groups]]. [[Freemasons]], the [[Illuminati]], the [[United Nations]], the [[Catholic Church]], [[Judaism]], and the Catholic "Society of Jesus" ([[Jesuits]]) are popular targets. Often these groups are accused of being behind so-called "[[shadow government]]s." [[FEMA]] has been accused of being a "shadow government" as well.  These conspiracy theories have been around since the 1700s.  At present, the phrase "[[New World Order]]" is often associated with them.

*Denial that the Holocaust happened, and/or claims of exaggeration.  In a number of European countries, Holocaust denial is a criminal offense. [[Iran]]ian president [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]] is among this theory's supporters.
