Line 140:
* [[wikipedia:Karen Silkwood|Karen Silkwood]], a labor activist who claimed that workers at nuclear fuel production facilities were being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, and was herself contaminated at the Cimarron Fuel Fabrication Site. Some claim that the car accident that killed her had been orchestrated by the Kerr-McGee Corporation, owners of the site and other nuclear facilities.
* [[John Lennon]]. Some argue that Mark David Chapman was "programmed" to kill Lennon by Them, who feared the possible consequences of him reactivating both his music career and, more importantly, his political activism after five years of seclusion. ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]'' usually figures in these theories as some kind of "trigger".
** [http://www.lennonmurdertruth.com/ This man] believes that [[Stephen King]] (yes, ''that'' Stephen King) was Lennon's gunman, hired to do so by [[Richard Nixon]] and [[Ronald Reagan]], and that clues as to his involvement can be found in his books. Of course, there's no actual motive given or any reason why the government would hire an A-list author as an assassin, so the claim makes about as much sense as the plot of ''[[Maximum Overdrive]]''.
* [[Osama Bin Laden]] was allegedly killed years ago and kept on ice, and his swift sea burial after Seal Team Six got him was to prevent "independent" examination of the body. Given that facial recognition and DNA confirmed his identity, one wonders why the theorists' extraordinary level of proof wasn't called for with, say, Saddam, or any other bad guy.
* There is a quite popular theory of the accidental death (murder by his own government?) of [[King Ludwig II|Ludwig II of Bavaria]], who mysteriously drowned in Lake Starnberg, after being removed from power. The circumstances of his death were highly suspicious, and many have alleged that he was murdered by his political enemies.
