Has a conspiracy ever been proven?

    Like.........ever? When was the last a widespread conspiracy theory turned out to be true and blew people's socks off?

    I'm not doubting the existence of cover-ups, but I am doubting that the orchestrators would leave a trail of breadcrumbs or easter eggs for nerds to follow in the future in the hope of uncovering some sort of plot.

    Maybe that billionaire sex trafficker was murdered, or maybe he offed himself because he was facing 45 years in prison. Maybe he didn't fancy dying in jail and decided to go out on his terms.

    Why were there no guards watching? Because humans are stupid who makes massive mistakes all the time. We know better than most just how truly negligent people can be after the smear test scandal.

    Nothing to see here lads. It's just a horrible human being who capitalised on human negligence and chose suicide over 45 years confinement.

    Big corporates break the law to corner the market and are happy to pay billions of dollars in fines because, it's worth it.

    What was the classic false flag people quote, the gulf of tolken I think?

    To justify the American war on Vietnam?

    Wasn't that true?
    I'm not too much a history buff to know.

    Which corporations have paid billions in fines?

    MK Ultra, the CIA's secret mind control programme, sounds like a whacky conspiracy but was 100% a real thing.

    Governments spying on citizens.

    USA stole dead baby body parts from Nagasaki and Hiroshima to do radioactive testing.

    The USA has already had its first female president - Edith Wilson.

    USA infected people in Guatemala with numerous STDs.

    They infected black people in the US with syphilis which lasted for decades. Never treated them even though penicillin had been proven effective against it.

    Dalai Lama worked for the CIA.

    1973 Chilean coup d’etat? I wasn’t alive at the time so am not sure if it was considered a conspiracy theory that the CIA had a huge involvement in it?

    I think it's well known that the USA and the West were behind many coups in that region.

    Remember when Thatchers son got meddling in Africa?

    It’s hard to think of a US war that didn’t involve a false flag.

    Here’s one they didn’t do but only because President Kennedy didn’t agree.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

    If they had done gone ahead with the false flag most people would now think the people accusing the US government of doing it as crackpots.


    Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government that originated within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962. The proposals called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or other U.S. government operatives to commit acts of terrorism against American civilians and military targets, blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba. The possibilities detailed in the document included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.[2] The proposals were rejected by John F. Kennedy.[3][4][5]

    British state collusion with Loyalist paramilitaries was dubbed a conspiracy and Republican propaganda up until the Good Friday Agreement nearly. At times serving members of the police and military were actively murdering people covertly and intelligence units directly answerable to the government were setting up assassinations; an angle which was never reported on to any real degree north or south.

    Now it's common knowledge that it was widespread.

    Every one of them is "proven" if you listen to the nutballs. Whether you believe their "proof " is another thing. Generally if it involves everything the "mainstream media" tells you is a lie but this lad on YouTube has it all figured out then you knows its 100% true.

    They infected black people in the US with syphilis which lasted for decades. Never treated them even though penicillin had been proven effective against it.

    I thought they took, already, infected men but treated them with “placebos” to study the effects? Either way, it was a shítty thing to do.

    The Chris Watts case, I followed it closely and there was a conspiracy that the kids could be seen in the cctv while Chris was loading the body of his poor murdered wife Shannan.
    I'm probably not explaining it very well(worth looking up) but conspiracy theory was rife,was all over youtube and eventually he admitted all ie. Conspiracy was true. It was a really eerie heartbreaking case.

    Area 51 absolutely never existed at all. Until they admitted it did.

    Remote Viewing/Psi Ops programs were a real thing too.

    One of the things that works is convincing simpler minded people that because some conspiracies are nonsense, all are. Whether this itself is a conspiracy is open to debate.

    The aliens stuff is nonsense though. That’s just a secret base for future technology.

    Psi programs were tried but didn’t work.

    The suez war.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suez_Crisis

    Israel attacked Egypt first and France and Britain demanded a cease fire, and that the belligerents move 10 miles from the canal. In fact the whole thing was a joint Israeli/French/British operation from the start. In fact Britain was reluctant to include Israel, fearful of the Arab response so the hoax was formulated.

    I had a quick skim on wiki. That's not a conspiracy. That's just some guy lying about murdering his family.
