I'm probably asking for trouble, but curious. Inspired by tonight's iZombie and some posts in this forum....

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? I'm not even sure what qualifies as true...widely accepted? Shown by later science/forensics/etc to actually be plausible/real? Aliens wrote it up in their version of the National Enquirer?

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

* Watergate - revealed the Gulf of Tonkin incident used as a pretext by the Johnson administration to invade Vietnam and start the Vietnam War was based on a complete fabrication.

* Bush administration lied about WMDs, sent thousands of young Americans to their deaths based on yet another fabrication (history has a habit of repeating itself don't it?). If Bush and Company are capable of that, I don't doubt they are capable of murdering thousands of American citizens who worked at the World Trade Center as a pretext to start more never ending wars.

* Wikileaks has proved our elections are rigged.

The government would still be lying to us and calling the idea that they are spying on us a conspiracy if not for Snowden.

How many Americans are even aware of this~Eugenics in the United States - Wikipedia
Eugenics was practiced in the United States many years before eugenics programs in Nazi Germany,[5] which were largely inspired by the previous American work.

It really was the chemical plant that polluted the ground water.

It was just a conspiracy theory that Erin Brockovich
investigated and proved.

Great list. The Area 51 one is huge. I remember a 20/20 episode where families of contract workers that had worked there were getting sick and dying. All the family members wanted to know was what they were exposed to, and the Govt denied even having anything there. I think they eventually caved though.


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)
