Are there any conspiracy theories that turned out to be true? (health care, Kennedy)

[MPowering1]

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study wasn't real.

Priest do NOT do bad things to boys.

The Catholic church would never cover up a scandal.

The FBI doesn't keep files on anyone they deem subversive, like any black person raising an arm to display a closed fist, musicians who admit to smoking pot, and entertainers who move in an inappropriate manner.

The news fed to us about the Vietnam War is all true.

There's no such thing as a virus you can get from having sex, that there's no cure for, and you can die from.

Private meetings among global elites at Bohemian Grove is nonsense.

The Franklin Scandal never happened.

We engage in wars in other countries to keep us safe and maintain our freedom.

Here are a few more :


The Greenbrier Resort (secret bunker)
Project MK Ultra
Operation Northwood (CIA false flag terrorist attacks)
Pretty much any stealth aircraft program we've had (SR-71, F-117, B-2)
The Gulf of Tonkin incident
Tuskegee syphilis experiment
CIA drug trafficking
Operation Mockingbird (kind of relevant now)

Great list!!!

Another finding (in a civil case involving the King family) blames the Memphis Police Department in correspondence with the FBI, for assassinating Dr. Martin Luther King.

9/11 is almost guaranteed proof of Op. Northwood. Also, sad to say; but the recent development of the burning apartment building in London (RIP to the lives lost), blows another hole in their assessment of the collapse of WTC Building 7.

Denver International Airport is also said to be home to a massive bunker/arc/underground city that is the heart of a doomsday/post-apocalyptic civilization fail-safe.

Fun-fact: There are indeed 5 buried buildings on the site. They were said to have been misplaced/ill-constructed, and were buried instead of destroyed. With an 85 Sq mi perimeter, Denver International is the largest airport in the US.

The Martin Luther King murder had a bunch of question marks. One was, where did James Earl Ray get his money? He was a small-time crook who had no money. He escaped from jail and suddenly had a lot of money. They could find no place that he stole it.

CIA actually sold, delivered and allowed drugs to come into USA toduring Regan presidency thus "the war on drugs" was made once they were caught

Friendly reminder: some conspiracy theories being proven true does not mean all conspiracy theories hold water. The number that were proven untrue or simply unproven remains significantly higher.

To be clear, there are no chemtrails, GMOs are safe, 9/11 was only a terrorist attack, and there is no secret network of tunnels to transport child sex slaves from a pizzashop in DC (the last one is especially stupid).

So many of the conspiracy theories a la "we never landed on the moon" "Elvis lives!" and the like just seem so...out there. Can you think of anything like this that ended up being true?

Dozens of conspiracy theories denied by the government have proven to be true.

You can add the Cincinnati Radiation Experiments, where unsuspecting patients were exposed to fatal doses of radiation without their knowledge, consent or compensation.

Imo, the Warren Report on the Kennedy Assassination is a work of fiction, and the "2nd gunman" conspiracy theory is probably closer to what actually happened on 11/22/63

Hopefully, Trump doesn't block the release of the remaining secret documents concerning Oswald or the Kennedy Assassination/

So true.

Don't forget the passport. And his fleeing to Britain. Ray was too stupid to know how to apply for a passport or to flee to Britain. Someone helped him and coached him.
