What Is a Conspiracy Theory Iceberg?

[[1.1 Conspiracy Iceberg -Conspiracy Theory Compendium]]

This meme trends as a playful (and sometimes chilling) way to rank conspiracy theories or fringe beliefs:

• Top (Tip) – Familiar, widely circulated theories (e.g., Moon landing hoax, JFK assassination).

• Middle layers – Less mainstream or more speculative ones.

• Deepest layers (“the depths”) – Obscure, fringe, or often nonsensical theories known only to niche or bizarre corners of the internet .

The format gained fame through communities like r/IcebergCharts on Reddit and later exploded via YouTube with “Iceberg Explained” videos, notably by creators like Wendigoon .

Example Structure of a Conspiracy Iceberg

Below is a conceptual breakdown into four tiers:

1. Surface (Most Familiar)

• Moon landing was fake

• JFK assassination cover-up

• Illuminati controlling global events

• 9/11 was an inside job

2. Subsurface (Somewhat Known but More Speculative)

• Chemtrails controlling the weather

• 5G causes COVID-19

• Reptilian humanoids among us

• Pharmaceutical elites actively suppressing cures

3. Deep Waters (Obscure and Fringe)

• Michael Obama conspiracies

• Time travelers influencing current events

• God creating a wife but failing (“Her”) (Reddit)

• Immortality-induced amnesia (dying and re-awakening in another timeline) (Reddit)

4. Abyss / Depths (Ultra-Obscure and Esoteric)

• “God’s Ego Death” – belief God underwent an ego shift between Old and New Testament (Reddit)

• “God’s Last Wish” – myth that humans are God’s creation in his final spiritual act (Reddit)

• “The Final Understanding” – existential or metaphysical conspiracy within theological lore (Reddit)

• rap.mp3 – a rumored audio sample allegedly hidden in 90s music with subconscious effects (Reddit)

Why This Matters & What to Watch Out For

• Iceberg charts are not evidence—they’re internet lore. Rippled with satirical, hypothetical, or debunked theories.

• They do reveal how people gravitate toward deeper, stranger ideas and how obscure beliefs find life in niche communities.

• Some entries are creative fiction, others are harmful misinformation—it’s important to approach these memes with awareness.
