Pizzagate: The Lie That Walked Through the Door (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How a fabricated internet rumor sent an armed man into a Washington, D.C. pizza restaurant — and why the story never actually ended. Summary: In this entry of The Tin Foil Diaries, we trace Pizzagate from its start in a misread batch of leaked campaign emails, through its explosive spread across 4chan, Reddit, and social media, to the December 2016 shooting at Comet Ping Pong that turned an online rumor into an armed incident. We walk through what police, journalists, and fact-checkers actually
The 9/11 Inside Job: What Really Brought Down the Towers? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years later, one theory still won't stay buried. Here's what the evidence actually shows. Summary: In this entry of The Tin Foil Diaries, we take on the most consequential conspiracy theory this show has ever covered: the claim that the U.S. government planned, assisted, or covered up the September 11th attacks.

Read excerpt
Inside the theory that turned shape-shifting bloodlines into a global phenomenon — and the darker history it's been dragging behind it. They're supposedly in the boardrooms, the palaces, the summits — wearing human skin and running the world from underneath it. In this entry, we trace the Reptilian Elite theory from ancient Sumerian myth through David Icke's decades-long career, through the viral "glitch" videos that keep the theory alive online, and into the well-documented, uncomfortable histo
Conspiracy 101: How to Actually Investigate a Theory (Without Losing Your Mind) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Tin Foil Diaries breaks format to hand over the actual toolkit — the method, the mistakes, and a real walkthrough of a declassified case, start to finish. No single case this time — instead, a full breakdown of the actual mechanics behind separating real cover-ups from convincing noise, including a personal story about the time the host got it badly wrong. From MKUltra, COINTELPRO, and Operation Northwoods to FOIA requests and the fact/theory/rumor/speculation framework, this entry is the to
