About This Episode
What is this episode about?
The episode "The 50 States of Conspiracy: Maryland" from Conspiracy! The Show covers a wide-ranging batch of conspiracy theories tied to the state of Maryland. Topics include the Baltimore Plot, described as the first attempt to kill Abraham Lincoln, and theories surrounding the suspicious death of Edgar Allen Poe, which some link to an election fraud scheme. The episode also explores Fort Detrick's alleged connection to the CIA's MK-Ultra mind control program, claims that RSV originated at Walter Reed, and ongoing conspiracy chatter surrounding the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Beyond those threads, the episode digs into unresolved Maryland deaths, including the death of Detective Sean Suiter and the death of Rey Rivera, the latter often tied to Freemason speculation. Sports-world oddities round things out, with discussion of the Orioles' alleged staged blackout to protect Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak, additional Ripken-related strangeness, and a theory involving Ray Lewis.
