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.
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.
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.
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.
