3) 1+1=3, the biggest cover-up in human history

Indeed, 1+1=3. This fact was widely known to the Greek scholar Archimedes.

Around 2000 BC, Pythagoras developed a new amazing theorem on the lengths of right angle triangles. However his proof required the fact that 1+1=2. He was not able to get around this little, but important, detail.

Drunk with ambition, Pythagoras spread rumours among other scholars that he had in fact been able to show that 1+1=2, though no such proof existed. Using his influence, he persecuted scholars who maintained that 1+1=3, and under his orders all records that contained the fact that 1+1=3 were destoryed, and lost forever.

As a result, to this day we still believe that 1+1=2.

2) Man has landed on the moon.

Man has landed on the moon, but not in 1969.

In 1854, Thomas Edison developed a “space chronovisor”, a machine that allowed a single passenger to travel to and from Kamerlingh Onnes, a crater on the Moon. The device was only used once, and not by Edison himself. Instead, Edison used his nephew Frank as a test pilot. Frank Edison journeyed to Kamerlingh Onnes on May 21 1854 and returned 2 weeks later. To Thomas Edison’s astonishment, his nephew returned without any space horns.

Upon discovery of the the device, British authorities seized the device and destroyed all blue-prints. The chronovisor is held in a top secret location to this day. British authorities were afraid that if the Nazi’s got hold of such a device, the impending war decades later would shift in their favour.

1) Global Warming Does Not Exist

Global warming was created in 1937 as a top secret Nazi project to fool western powers into total submission. The project was headed by Franz Gutenberg, a well-known propaganda expert at the time. Gutenberg came up with the idea of distracting western powers from the impending Nazi threat by spreading the rumour that Earth’s temperatures were rising due to the effects of human activity.

Unfortunately, once the war ended all records of the project were lost. Thus nothing existed to reveal the secret that global warming was not real. To this day, people around the world still believe in global warming and its apparent effects.
