The second is a great list of all sorts of weird and creepy wikipedia links.
To be fair, population control is frequently used by authoritarian govts engaged in civil wars around the world, if you work from the premise that the US govt is a raging military autocracy about to confiscate guns from citizens and send them to internment camps, that makes some sense. Also, while the Federal Reserve isn't controlled by the Illuminati, it does act very secretly and has vast amounts of power.
Still, for the most part, the rightwingers conspiracy theories are teh yawn. David Icke comes up with better shit than this in his sleep.

I don't know I enjoy them. I get an even bigger kick out of the imminent arrival of the Antichrist spin on the whole thing. And the thing is is that more people believe the NWO stuff if it doesn't involve reptilian overlords, which, while pretty entertaining in itself, doesn't lessen the average Patriot nonsense.
Maybe I was just exposed to this stuff at an early age (my misspent youth, again, learning how to get free drinks out of vending machines and why BLACK HELICOPTORS ARE WATCHING ME TAKE A SHIT ON MY TOILET RIGHT NOW by reading articles on Totse.com) and I've become jaded about it.
Also at least half of it was directly lifted from the Turner Diaries, which makes Mein Kampf looks like War and Peace.
Chemtrails is a funny one, I've actually talked to a guy that worked on the project. He claims its an experiment hoping to lower the ammount of sunlight. By putting metal like flakes they hope the rays bounce back out into space. Due to liability, its never been admitted in public
