It’s New Year’s Eve again, and time for our annual ritual, looking back over our shoulder at the most impactful conspiratorial events of the past year.
Without a doubt, 2025 has been an apocalyptic year on many levels which, once again, this has left the planet with even more chaos and instability than we inherited only 12 months ago.
Tomorrow, we’ll attempt to look ahead when we release the addendum to this annual opus, with our Trends and Predictions for 2026.
Before we delve into this year’s top ten conspiracies, here are some of the honourable mentions from this past year—standout stories and essential context which didn’t quite make the top tier, but are hugely significant nonetheless. Let’s set the stage…

As far as the global economy is concerned, all the signs indicate a major financial crisis is coming down the pipeline. 2025 saw two big indicators that the fiat US dollar is officially on life support: gold hit a record high at $4,794 per ounce, and Bitcoin hit $126,000. Silver also reached record highs at $83.62 per ounce. The dollar is toast, and everyone knows it. According to the CRFB, America’s runaway $38 trillion national debt is now to blame for over $1 trillion in annual interest payments from here on out—money the Trump administration doesn’t have. Trump’s tariffs war did nothing but cause market uncertainty and global economic stagnation. This means the USA is now official bankrupt. The only country who can possibly bailout the Washington swamp is China, but it seems highly unlikely Trump will get on his hands and knees to beg Beijing for a rescue package. Still, both the Chinese and Russian economies continue to outperform the US and EU in relative terms.
In order to distracted the public and score a few cheap points at home, Trump has been busy deploying US troops on the streets of American cities, supposedly to ‘fight crime’—in violation of the US Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, a US federal law limiting the use of the Army (and now other federal forces) for so-called ‘domestic law enforcement’, reinforcing an important American tradition against military involvement in civilian affairs. This is yet another extremely negative indicator going into 2026.
On the false flag front, we saw a classic Daily Shooter event take place in Bondi Beach Australia in December, when two gunmen opened fired from a footbridge overlooking Archer Park at Bondi beach, near Sydney, in what would become Australia’s worst mass shooting since the fabled Port Arthur massacre. Immediately, it was billed as an “antisemitic attack” targeting Jews during a Chanukah BBQ. However, earlier this year, Australia’s federal police have said they were investigating whether “overseas actors or individuals” are paying local criminals to carry out antisemitic crimes in the country. Where the money was coming from remains unclear, but police confirmed that the crimes were “being perpetrated by people who don’t have a particular issue, aren’t motivated by an ideology, but are paid actors”. Add to this the fact that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said Australia had it coming to them after recently daring to recognise a Palestinian state, and Netanyahu went on to accuse Australian leader Anthony Albanese for doing ‘nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism’. One might ask: qui bono, or who benefits from events like this? Suffice to say, there’s more to this story than the mainstream media are letting on.
Meanwhile over in America, it seems that Donald Trump’s MAGA honeymoon has already crashed and burned. 2025 was year that the MAGA movement died. When Trump campaigned for President in 2024, he made a number of ambitious promises, including this show-stopper: “If elected, I will end the Ukraine War in 24 hours—with one phone call”. Of course, that never happened. A year later and the situation on the ground is even worse than under Sleepy Joe Biden. In fact, Trump has launched more war in the first year of his term than any other President in US history. Remember the commonly repeated line that there were “No New Wars” during Trump’s first term—a common trope often repeated by MAGA supporters? In reality, that didn’t happen—during Trump 1.0 his administration helped to sabotage the Minsk Peace Process while he armed Ukraine and accelerated the road to war, followed by the illegal invasion and occupation of northeastern Syria in 2017, his intervention do protect Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Idlib Syria led by terrorist Al-Jolani aka Ahmed al-Sharaa (US, NATO and Israel’s installed current president in Syria), as well as bombing Syria twice in 2017 and 2018 in response to dubious (and evidence-free) claims that Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad launched ‘chemical weapons attacks against his own people’. Embarrassingly, Trump was recently promoting the al-Qaeda terrorist leader Al-Jolani, with Trump spraying perfume on him in the White House—which can only be viewed as a ritual humiliation of America and it’s pointless 25 year-long ‘War on Terror’. As for the numerous wars during his first term, a clueless Trump also continued carrying on with Saudi Arabia and UAE in prosecuting Obama’s brutal war and siege against Yemen. Also, on the orders of Netanyahu, Trump also assassinated Iranian military general Qasem Soleimani (who was leading the fight against ISIS in Iraq), which led to a series of exchanges that could’ve easily cascaded into a wider war. Still, Trump and his supporters somehow believe he now deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, erroneously claiming he’s already stopped 8 wars in 2025 (a completely bonkers claim, but clearly designed to cloud fact he has launched multiple new wars in just 12 months). Below we detail Trump’s many new wars including an unprovoked bombing of Iran, Yemen, and now in Venezuela. If only it ended there. Aside from threatened to expropriate Gaza to allow his son-in-law to build beach-front resort hotels there, Trump has also found time to bomb Somalia and Nigeria, not to mention threatening to attack, invade and annex numerous other countries, including Panama, Greenland, Canada, Nicaragua, and even Cuba. They’re now calling it the “The Donroe Doctrine”, a fumbling attempted to fetishize the famous 1823 Monroe Doctrine policy penned by then US President James Monroe, who once proclaimed the entire western hemisphere to be exclusive US sphere of influence (even though the British Empire had scores of military bases all over the western hemisphere throughout the 19th and 20th centuries).
