On April 14, 1865, America’s triumph in the Civil War turned to tragedy when President Abraham Lincoln was shot in the head by actor John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theatre. But this was no random act by a lone madman — it was part of a sweeping conspiracy to overthrow the federal government in one night of terror. In this gripping episode, we uncover the untold story of how Booth’s plot evolved from a desperate scheme to kidnap Lincoln into a coordinated plan to kill the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State simultaneously.Sean, Eric and Jorge explore how John Wilkes Booth, a charismatic and bitter Confederate sympathizer, gathered a band of conspirators who were fiercely loyal to him personally and driven by rage at the Union’s victory. You’ll meet Lewis Powell, the brutal ex-soldier assigned to assassinate Secretary of State Seward; George Atzerodt, the nervous boatman who was supposed to kill Vice President Johnson but lost his nerve; and Mary Surratt, the boardinghouse owner whose tavern hid Booth’s weapons. walk through the conspirators’ failed kidnapping plans, their meetings at Surratt’s boardinghouse, and the moment Lincoln’s speech on Black suffrage convinced Booth that murder was the only option.On the night of April 14, Booth executed his plan with chilling precision: he slipped into Lincoln’s box during Our American Cousin and fired a single shot that would forever change the nation. Meanwhile, Powell’s savage attack on Seward nearly succeeded, and Atzerodt’s cowardice spared Johnson’s life. In the chaos that followed, Booth leapt to the stage, shouting “Sic semper tyrannis!” as he fled into the night.Join us as we unravel the dark conspiracy that sought to decapitate America’s leadership at its most vulnerable moment, and discover how Booth’s twisted vision of heroism ended with the first presidential assassination in U.S. history — and the beginning of a manhunt that would grip the nation.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Flat Earth Theory Compilation
Take a wild ride to the edge of the map and beyond as they explore one of the most enduring and bizarre conspiracy theories of all time: the Flat Earth Theory.Despite centuries of scientific discovery and overwhelming proof that the Earth is a sphere, millions of people across the globe still believe the planet is flat. And not all Flat Earthers agree—some claim Earth is a flat disc surrounded by a wall of ice, while others argue it's covered by a dome, or even shaped like a cube. Many believe the sun, moon, and stars are just lights stuck on that dome, and that space travel is nothing but a Hollywood-style illusion.The boys dig into the early roots of the belief—from ancient Mesopotamian myths and early Greek maps to the moment Greek philosophers like Pythagoras and Aristotle flipped the model and proposed a spherical Earth based on lunar eclipses and star movements. But the Flat Earth idea didn’t vanish—it kept creeping through history, even making its way into early Christian interpretations of the Bible.Fast forward to the 1800s, when British inventor Samuel Rowbotham gave the theory new life with his book Zetetic Astronomy, which proposed that Earth was a flat, unmoving plane. His work sparked the creation of the Flat Earth Society—an organization still active today and even growing thanks to online communities and social media platforms.The episode also explores the modern Flat Earth movement, which has exploded on YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok. Figures like Mark Sargent have turned Flat Earth evangelism into a full-time gig—attending conventions and claiming NASA is faking everything from moon landings to satellite photos. Many of these beliefs are part of a larger web of conspiracy thinking, where distrust in science, institutions, and government converge.The boys also highlight the celebrities who’ve fueled Flat Earth buzz—NBA stars Kyrie Irving and Draymond Green, NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and even Tila Tequila—who’ve all publicly expressed support or curiosity toward the theory. Whether they’re serious or just trolling, their influence has helped keep the movement in the public eye.So what exactly do Flat Earthers believe? Why do these ideas persist despite centuries of contrary evidence? And how do their beliefs intersect with other conspiracies like moon landing denial or secret global elites?Strap in as the boys dissect the science, the history, the madness—and the oddly compelling reasons why this centuries-old theory refuses to fall off the edge of the Earth.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast
