The Iron Mountain Report is a controversial government conspiracy theory that claims war is essential to economic stability, political control, and social order. First appearing in 1967, the report was presented as a suppressed U.S. government study analyzing what would happen if permanent world peace were achieved—and its conclusions shocked the public.

According to the report, peace would destabilize governments, collapse key economic systems, and remove one of society’s primary tools for maintaining order. The document spread rapidly through political circles, universities, and media, becoming one of the most influential conspiracy texts of the 20th century.

In this episode of the TTT Podcast, we explore the real history behind the Iron Mountain Report, why so many people believed it was authentic, how respected intellectuals helped legitimize it, and how it unintentionally became a blueprint for modern conspiracy culture. Even after the report was revealed to be fictional, belief in its ideas never disappeared.

This is not just a story about war or government secrecy, it’s a deep dive into the psychology of belief, authority, and why some ideas feel true simply because they sound official.
