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?

      I miss when conspiracy theories were (mostly) harmless. Black helicopters. Secret UFOs at Groom Lake. Bigfoot. Chemtrails.

      Now they’re out of hand and damaging, even deadly. Vaccines containing microchips. Ineffective medications are used because it’s a conspiracy to not use them. Deadly viruses are a leftist conspiracy. Q helping sabotage the democratic process. Etc.

      They’re not fun anymore. They’re getting scary.

      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.
