As of 2025, some of the top conspiracy theories circulating in public discourse include a blend of persistent myths, new digital-age speculations, and evolving concerns about global events. Here's a brief summary of the top ten:

1. **AI and Global Control** – A theory suggests that a secret group of elites, backed by powerful AI systems, is manipulating global governments and economies to bring about a "technocratic" world order.

2. **The 2024 U.S. Election Rigging** – Some claim that the 2024 U.S. Presidential election was secretly manipulated, using a combination of voting machine interference and mass media control to affect the outcome.

3. **Climate Change as a Global Control Tactic** – There is a growing belief that the climate change crisis is exaggerated or even manufactured as part of a larger plot to control global economies, limit personal freedoms, and increase government power.

4. **5G and Health Risks** – Despite ongoing scientific research showing 5G is safe, a theory persists that 5G technology is being used for surveillance and that it poses serious health risks, including being a potential cause of illnesses.

5. **Aliens and Government Disclosure** – Speculation continues that governments, particularly the U.S. and China, are hiding knowledge about extraterrestrial life, possibly due to the advanced technology that could be gleaned from alien encounters.

6. **The Great Reset** – A theory tied to global economic elites allegedly plotting to reshape the world economy post-COVID, with the ultimate goal of pushing for a single global currency and totalitarian control over the masses.

7. **Vaccine Microchips** – Although debunked, there is a conspiracy that the COVID-19 vaccines (and potentially other vaccines) contain microchips that can track people’s movements and manipulate their behavior.

8. **The Digital Surveillance State** – Claims persist that digital platforms, such as social media and smartphones, are part of a coordinated effort by governments and corporations to monitor, track, and control every aspect of people’s lives.

9. **Global Pedophile Rings** – A longstanding conspiracy alleging that powerful individuals, especially in politics, entertainment, and business, are involved in underground global child trafficking rings.

10. **Synthetic Biology and Bioengineering** – Some believe that the rapid advancements in genetic engineering and synthetic biology are part of a secret plot to enhance certain individuals or groups, create superhumans, or even reduce the global population.

These conspiracy theories continue to evolve, fueled by misinformation, distrust in authorities, and the rise of digital platforms enabling widespread dissemination of ideas.

I don't see any "theories" there, more like wake up calls. as for "aliens", the definition of the term would be relative to the understanding of their origin.. but that's another conversation. a rather long conversation.

Conversations about extra terrestrials are always fun...however we are presently facing more pressing problems here in the U.S.

Jan.20 will be a historic 'moment' in time....hopefully a good moment.
