conspiracies regarding end times

End times conspiracies often involve beliefs that governments, secret societies, or powerful elites orchestrate events—such as wars, economic collapses, or technological advances—to control or deceive the population, aiming for a new world order or authoritarian rule. Some think these groups manipulate future disasters, like environmental collapses or pandemics, to consolidate power. Others interpret religious prophecies as warnings of imminent apocalyptic events. While these theories vary, they generally revolve around fears of widespread chaos used as a tool for control, often blending conspiracy with religious or ideological beliefs about the end of civilization as we know it.
