Email: azizrefai2014@gmail.com Abstract: Conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that evokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actor, often political in motivation. The term has a pejoratory connotation that refers to or based on prejudice or insufficient evidence. The theory of conspiracy combats falsification and reinforced circular logic; both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it are reinterpreted as evidence of its truth, where by conspiracy has become a matter of faith rather than something that can be prove or disproved. The history of a cultural conspiracy theory has been dated in the middle of 1990s, in which Karl Popper called it “Conspiracy Theory of Society”. According to which the history is a product of conspiring intended by some individuals or groups. Popper argues that this view must be wrong because not everything is intended. On the other hand Brain Keenley (1999) prompted a new phrase in the debate in which he focuses on subset of conspiracy theory called it “Unwarranted Conspiracy Theory”. Novel corona virus as a political conspiracy does not imply that it is irrational to believe it and hence does not imply that it would be irrational to investigate it. As a political and or biological weapon conspiracy, the argument is obviously a dud, but deductive arguments are a dime dozen so why should we worry about this one; The answer is that the argument of this form and everyday bit as bad as this are insinuated and suggested day in and day out by politicians and pundits, often with an intolerable smug air of intellectual sophistications. The influence of the internet has been magnified and played a significant role in recent conspiracy linked violence in the world including the so called bi-weapons war, novel corona virus (covid-19), and political economic conflict among the superpower countries to dominate the world. This article will shed the light on the novel corona virus as a pandemic, catastrophe in relation to conspiracy theory. The article will investigate whether it is a man made catastrophe or coincidence ones as any epidemic happened during the previous two centuries.

Key Words: Cultural conspiracy theory, covid-19, catastrophe, biological war, superpower countries conflict.
