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.
The best conspiracy theory is probably going to be the one about who killed JFK. It's so validated even the government entertains the thought all the time without really being official on anything.
In that sense then yes.
One was MKUltra where the US government experimented on mind control, which then gave us the Unabomber.
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.
That one was horrific.
