We have discussed conspiracy theories as a specific type of misinformation/disin

We have discussed conspiracy theories as a specific type of misinformation/disinformation in class. This assignment will require you to research a conspiracy and create your own propaganda to try to discredit it.
At the bottom of the page is a list of popular conspiracy theories with links to general information explaining each. Choose ONE to research–internet resources are fine but you should still cite where the information came from. Then answer the following questions:
What is the conspiracy theory? What beliefs about the world does it include?
Where does the conspiracy theory come from? Who started it? How did it first spread? Who has benefited from its spread?
What counter-evidence exists? Which claims seem most unlikely to be true?
Create a piece of white propaganda to discredit or dispel the conspiracy. The propaganda needs to have a visual component–it can be a webpage, pamphlet, poster or billboard, infographic, or series of memes. Make sure that your propaganda uses at least one of the special techniques to maximize effects (division 7 in propaganda analysis).
Explain the logic behind your visual and why you believe it would be persuasive.
