  • Obviously reads a lot of Cracked too.

  • Hank, please read "New Deal or Raw Deal" by Burton Folsom Jr. FDR was an economy fail. thanks and DFTBA!

  • why didn't you mention the banking crisis? :P

  • I don't like this guy :/ ehh

  • You stole this from Cracked.

  • All of this reminds me of Muse

  • just think how much better would this country be if george w. bushes grandfather was arrested for treason

  • @MrBestfriend421 We wouldn't have gone into war with Iraq? (sorry If i am wrong, I'm not really a source of knowledge on it) that sounds heck of a lot better! If only he was arrested......

  • @MrBestfriend421 Actually, considering that Bush's grandfather was a fascist, I'd say Bush did great as our president! Maybe not objectively, but still, if you're grandaddy was a fascist, then how good do you expect a guy to be as a pres? I personally think he's ok (FAAAR from perfect, but we've had much worse presidents), but I understand and respect why people dislike him.But he's certianly not a particularly evil person as far as politicians go, in my opinion.

  • holly waaaaaat that is mind blowing 

  • why would i wana lead an army against my man franky dee

  • So... Bush Jr. is just continuing the legacy

  • georgy's granddaddy wanted to overthrow the government

    got away with no charges

    pupic hair became president years later

    this proves that american politicians aren't the best ppl for the job, they're just the richest

  • The tuskeegee experiment started in 1932 under roosevelt...so why are you on his dick so hard?

  • That business plot still boggles my mind. The son AND grandson of a traitor becoming presidents, and considering the job they did, (particularly Dubya) I can't help but think that that was Business Plot: Plan B. (Plan C: GOP 2012?)

  • Why do you look different in every video?

  • This guy sounds like sxephil.

  • @WWERocksfool Combined with Tobuscus

  • 0:37 Transcribe Audio.

    Man the economy went downhill!

  • He wasn't really called Guy Fawkes, that was his fathers name, his real name was Guido Fawkes.

  • why would i lead a coup against my man franky d???

  • remember remember the 5th of november

  • Comment removed

  • FDR? only tied for the worst president in history

  • is that so i think somone is too ideological to interpret history correctly

  • @00ndb What in God's name are you talking about?

  • In the 1940's, the American government was going to pain Mt. Fuji red as part of a plot to ruin Japan's morale, but they soon realized how much paint would be needed, and the plan was abandoned.

  • @taliby13 HETALIA!!!!! I LOVE THAT SHOW!

  • @taliby13 Aw, yeah. I learned that in Hetalia.

  • Guy Fawkes was iimportant to history as he was the one who was caught and who eventually after 10 days of torture spilled the beans on the plot, though the evidence he gave may have been false as he may have made up a convincing story to end the torture. There is another conspiracy theory linked in here, there was a man who was high up in parliament called robert cecil.

  • @Number27IsMe He was almost the detective in this case and was the one who intercepted a letter that was sent to one of the plotters cousns warning him to call in sick on the 5th of november. However many people think that Cecil set up the plot as a popularity booster for the king. This is because Guy Fawkes had already been found with the gunpowder on the 2nd of november and gave his name as 'john johnson' the guards immediately left him in the cellar of the houses of parliament.

  • you are so weird. i love it

  • Actually, although Guy Fawkes was not the most important person, he did know a lot about explosives. He also was not born a Catholic.

  • So....addictive....to watch....cannot stop....

  • We call it Guy Fawkes because Dumbledore said so.

  • @thatonefreckledgirl no, because V thinks so.

  • you have the same collection of Jane Austen books as I do, Hank :)

  • That's so funny. The advertisement on this video is for Obama's campaign.

  • what about Nabiru?

    

  • @zelda0is0so0cool Niburu is a made up planet thought up by crazy people.

  • @MetalBru01 I know that! :)

    I was just saying that its and actual thing that many crazy people believe in.

  • "Oh, yeah. Roosevelt is a Commie. Let's overthrow him and install a Fasicst dictatorship."

    Genius T_T

    Just how stupid were Americans in the 1900s? XD

  • @SnowingWolfGirl

    Lol, were

  • @NAnJ4

    I don't appreciate that. We do think differently now than we did then. I'm not saying all of us aren't idiots, but a lot of aren't. Stereotyping like that doesn't say much about the people who do it.

  • @SnowingWolfGirl

    To tell you the truth, I don't really think we think all that differently, if anything 100 years from now future Americans will be saying "Just how stupid were Americans in the 2000s?" Besides, there few Americans who thought that in the 1900s, you're generalizing by saying Americans, as if all. And I do know we're not all idiots, while there are a large number that are, obviously you'll find quite a few in a country with a population of 300 million+.

  • HAHAHAH "FRANKIE D!!"

  • #go america..

  • I'm trying to figure out this buisness plot...what do weird fashion ideas have to do with overthrowing the government?

  • @realrealwarpet Not sure if this is a real question? Anyways Google it, read the 1st entry from Wikipedia.

  • @TheMindUploader it was an actual question.

  • @realrealwarpet

    He said "fascist" not "fashion". As in the extreme right-wing form of government that Italy and Germany had during World War II. You can look it up, I think that'll tell you a lot more. 

  • @SnowingWolfGirl no I mean when hank mentioned face tatoo's

  • I was just watching vlogbrothers...and lo and behold, this video is exactly one year old, and also on my birthday(:

  • how you portray people talking during the 1930s is funny :D

  • @2:30 lol!!!!!!!

  • @mulletjoker Ywt you're the one clicking on John's video and insulting him when you could just ignore it? Right...

  • What about JFK?

  • 0:19 When I first heard Hank talk about Scientology, I thought he just made stuff up on the spot. But then I found out he wasn't. Oh god. WTH?

  • DFTBA

    

  • MK Ultra is also a good song...

  • DUDE..... how could you not add OPERATION NORTHWOODS. google it

  • @DMTuptheass it was a proposed conspiracy and never happened so it can't be on the list.

  • You're both like the real version of The Professor Brothers.

  • @xxZeroZonexx nope, I've spotted a book 'for dummies' on the upper shelf.

  • You should be a fucking teacher...wait, scratch that BE A FUCKING TEACHER !

  • @pvsurfer133 He is a teacher! :)

    By watching their vids your learning, hence they are teaching!

  • My history teacher also impersonates historical figures speaking in modern vernacular.

    It's weirder when she foes it though, she's like, 80.

  • You remind me of a strange combination between Nice Peter and Phillip DeFranco...

    In a good way though :)

  • I'm confused...how can you prove snow white was actually a conspiracy if all record were deleted?

  • Illuminati?

  • What about the welsh? they and their evil druid mind-bending-alien-loving-corn­field-creating powers? ARE YOU WELSH???Why do you protect them? I mean it is obviously the oldest and meanest conspiracy in the world!!!!! Evidence: John Dee an Occultist with a tight bound to the goverment of the british empire in its early stages...

    J.P. Morgan grand-grand-grandson of the witch Morgana who killed king Arthur... What about that eh???

    OBVIOUS!!!!! Kill all welsh-druid-alien-monsters!!!!­!!

  • @TheReaktor5 The welsh are no more than farmers, I should know, I am Welsh. (note the sarcasm) (Though I really am Welsh.)

  • Why would I lead a coup against my man Franky Dee?!?! :D 

  • no one want to see your face....wtf....

  • @constantfix Yet you clicked on it... hm..

  • One of my fave is the Jack The Ripper conspiracy theory where the Royal family had all the women murdered because they were witnesses at the wedding of the air to the throne and a prostitute. Apparently they tried to blackmail good old queen Vic... They had to die.

  • @TheRightToSpeak

    I'd say that that there are tens of thousands of people who are confused why you think they are dead and far more that are glad they were protected by NATO from a brutal death.

  • No wonder Gorge W. Bush was a douche.

  • Conspiracies aren't going to get you anywhere, just tell me what your going to do with this information.

  • @TheBeatlesRUL3 I will tell you what we will do with the information... share and name. Naming your reality is a very, very powerful force.

  • complete sandman series in the backround, me like!

  • I saw the title of this video and just knew MK ULTRA would be included.

  • I've never seen anyone actually listen to it and not believe, and trust me I'm skeptical of nearly everything. Just sayin.

    /watch?v=OQgVCj7q49o

  • you try to copy pogobat.. so fuck you

  • The video says that an error occurred and to try again later.... a conspiracy perhaps?!

  • Its houses not bridge of parliament

  • again. I am also a man

  • i think they call it guy fawkes day cuz he supposedly 'cheated the gallows' which makes him most memorable or something... :)

  • hahaha I love this guy! (no homo) He makes this stuff more fun to learn about!!!!!! :D

  • Scientology is weird as fuck

  • @theodore1234ish

  • @MrCantstandliberals BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULSHHIT­

  • my man Franky D. !!!!!!

  • "Say what!" LOL, this guy is funny.

  • As if the Iran-Contra scandal didn't make the list!

  • subscribed

  • The assassination of Abraham Lincoln was proven to be a conspiracy. I wonder when the John F. Kennedy assassination will be referred to as a conspiracy in history books.

  • commie commie commie

  • The fact you didnt include the Weathermen Underground shows your lack of research!

    And you think 9/11 was a theory?? OMG!

  • You are a conspiricy!

    Operation snow white, what a crock man!

    You are a dreamer! Lol!

  • why are you over-acting so much?

  • Hey, is that an Obi Wan action figure in the background?

  • Michael jackson death "conspiracy" & he's Alive there you go

  • They Might Be Giants poster! Rock on!

  • LOL The way Hank explained the one about George Bushes Grandfather.... I could not stope laughing! XD Hank must have been kinda hyper on the inside. ^^;

  • what about watergate? :O

  • and remember remember the fifth of november ... the king actually set it up so he could catch someone, make a big deal of it and use it as an excuse to ban puritans SO IT IS A MUCH BIGGER CONSPIRACY THAN YOU THINK.

  • those scientologists know very little science if they believe that, MATH is what rules the universe NOT science(as science obeys math)

  • Fascism still works in Italy...

  • MK Ultra is also a song by Muse

  • BOOBIES !! lol

  • how bout us working with the nazi's after ww2...

  • @brandonpaez69 yeah, but it helped embarrass kremlin Joe in space, so it was justified

  • @brandonpaez69 hah and where is the conspiracy here? It's all known fact

  • Comment removed

  • He should have included Enron.

  • @TribeJudah01Boadie The Gulf of Tonkin would have been a good one to throw in there too.

  • Did you get this from cracked.com?

  • Talk regurlary idiot.

    LOL I SPELT RONG

  • Global warming should be #1. Remember like years ago acid rain was all the rage, now where are all those jerks?

  • Latest FLULAVAL vax insert here in hand. Under #11 DESCRIPTION it says- “Thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is added as a preservative. Each dose contains 25 mcg of mercury.” Each dose MAY also contain 25 or less mcg of Formaldehyde.. Don't let any doctor/nurse tell U this vax does not contain both- as well as more absolute poisons that should not be placed on skin or drank much less injected into brain & blood.. Keep the blood pure- it is sanctified- life is in the blood.- Vaccine 911.com

  • Hey what about operation paperclip?

  • officialfucklilwayne: you can't prove you're theory as the truth. 9/11 was a false flag attack.. al qaeda was created by CIA who do you thinkg the rebels really are in Libya?? just like hamas was created by the mosaad. USS liberty was attacked by israel not egypt and those aren't conspiracy "theories". you may also want to start with reading the declassified document: Operation Northwoods. You Only Believe the Official 9/11 Story Because You Don’t Know the Official 9/11 Story

  • Pt. 2

    The experimenters went so far as to prevent the participants from being drafted into the military! It's notorious now as an example of a horribly unethical experiment.

  • Pt. 1

    The Tuskegee experiment was actually worse than what you mentioned. The people were coerced into participation by being offered "burial insurance" (i.e., if they died, they were buried, this was actually a very big deal for the people). Also penicillin was discovered 10 years into the experiment and effectively cured syphilis, but the participants were not told about it, not given it, and heck, weren't even told that they had syphilis.

  • what was 4everlyfe's comment?

  • I ACTUALLY ALREADY KNEW ABOUT A LOT OF THESE =D

  • this is the biggest problem for mankind to deal with in every way and reason....it is the reason for the motives we deal with everyday....and the limits that are set upon us....but it is for a good reason of security for ones that are not ready. just knowing there is another life form is limitless possibilities...and better stories and more to look forward to in life...only contracts can entertain the truth you fail to believe...real stars belong in the sky am i right!

  • just to let you know crazy is not knowing the only secret mankind wants to know......now my point is that this isnt a hoax.....or a conspiracy its a truth that is ready to break loose! i know it wont be me you believe but i already know and have been haunted about this for more than 15 years....im only 24..i havent seen it since i did..but i have found out proof im not crazy by seeing the elongated skulls that have been found....they could be cover ups though. the one i saw looked like a spirit.

  • the alien race is nothing but the truth.but you wouldnt belive me though if i told you i saw one in front of my face! rest your mind please its here and it has a cone head and wears a white suite and glows in the dark by the way! you think im kidding? the government made the kkk to offset and banish people wearing the hats for it or not,or wear for fun or anything.....the closest thing to the cone hat is the popes and thats becuase he knows already. slapping the truth in the faces of mankind.

  • Well.. Matt Bellamy is definately obsessed with conspiracies..

  • Wait, George W Bush's grandfather is fascist? A fascist party is against communism? Communism and Fascism is not the same? Eh, I knew the last part all along but tell that to Tea Party and chances are you'll get shot.

  • People stop say 9/11 it obviously isn't In the top five so who cares

  • @PiwowarX3 Well, i'd say the hundred of thousands of innocent men, women and children who have died in Afghanistan due to the invasion by the U.S Military, and whoever is supporting the war there, cares? But hey, they must all be terrorists, so who gives a fuck, right?

  • @TheRightToSpeak hundreds of thousands is a pretty big exageration.

  • the entire General Butler impression had me in stitches... "these guys are totally trying to overthrow the American governement!" ..... "My buddy Frankie D!"

  • Comment removed

  • The US federal reserve is a private bank that charges interest on every dollar the government gets, hence the $14+ TRILLION's worth of debt.

  • I wanna learn more about MK Ultra or I will never sleep again

  • this guy makes nerds hot :)

  • Franky D. just. Awesome

  • TOBUSCUS

  • 9/11!!!!!!

  • They didn't get in any shit? Not even, like fired?

  • @BrcCmplfan What? xDD

  • @officialfucklilwayne

    Obviously you're stupid.

  • @dudejohnny obviously , you are brainwashed. Things aren't all peace and love in your fairytale dreamland.

  • @CrackinCrew

    Yeah I'm obviously brain washed. It's so obvious that you can see it dripping off of me. Even though we don't have a fucking clue what is going on right next to us, we know EXACTLY what happens between governments and terrorist organizations. We know this stuff as FACTS, right? I'm so brainwashed, ugh, look at me be... brainwashed. I wish I could take claims at face value like you.

  • @officialfucklilwayne what is your problem would you actually think George W. Bush would actually make a deal with those sick terrorists he would've been impeached by 2005

  • @officialfucklilwayne Hehehe... Ha ho ho, ha ha ha ha, AHHH HAAA HA HA HAHA!!!!!!!! AAHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHA *snort* AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

    No.

  • Scientology thing: Biggest infiltration by an organisation other than a foreign government. KGB did bigger.

  • @OktoberSunset you said it yourself "other than a foreign government" the KGB was an official part of the government of the USSR, so it doesn't beat scientology.
