Yeah see, magic and conspiracy theories aren't secrets, they're sad nonsense
There's been a few conspiracies that have come to light to be factual.
List of conspiracies that ended up being true:
Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment MKUltra: the CIA Mind-Control Project The 1990 Testimony of Nayirah Operation Snow White: The Church of Scientology Versus The U.S. Government CIA Assassinations The Business Plot: Fascism in America Operation Mockingbird: The CIA Propaganda Machine COINTELPRO: The FBI vs. 1960s Activists Operation Paperclip: Nazi Scientists Find Employment in America Operation Northwoods: How to Wage War on Cuba Bohemian Grove: The Rich, the Powerful, and the Giant Stone Owl
By the way, the terms “conspiracy theory” and “conspiracy theorist” were popularized by the CIA to delegitimize concerns regarding the actions of government.
You do understand that none of the actual conspiracies have anything to do with the ones conspiracy theorists talk about? All of them were assholes behaving like assholes, and it always came.tomlight because they were dumb as fuck about it. Mk ultra was an embarrassment more than anything.
All these "jetfuel doesn't melt metal beams" types just really need to get outside more.
