I’m not a conspiracy theory guy but I seen the post on 9/11 on no stupid questions and it seemed more fleshed out than I expected.

So what are conspiracy theories that turned out to be true?

And what are the most believable conspiracy theories out there?

    Well those are not really conspiracy theories if they are true and proven.

    Mine is that a part of the US government knew 9/11 was going to happen and didn’t try to stop it. It was too great of a casus belli to let it slip, the amount of money some people made because of it is astounding.

      Well they were conspiracy theories long before they were proven to be true.

        In that sense then yes.

        One was MKUltra where the US government experimented on mind control, which then gave us the Unabomber.

          Operation Midnight Climax was an MK-Ultra project in which government-employed prostitutes lured unsuspecting men to CIA “safe houses” where drug experiments took place.

          The CIA dosed the men with LSD and then—while at times drinking cocktails behind a two-way mirror—watched the drug’s effects on the men’s behavior. Recording devices were installed in the prostitutes’ rooms, disguised as electrical outlets.

          Holy Fuck!

            The US government did some crazy shit. And that’s what we know about, I can’t even imagine what we don’t.
