33 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True, What Every Person Should Know…

"Most people can’t resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue … and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous."

that web site is full of malware - and woo - the web site exists to make money

A web site full of nonsense; oh yes, we are in Creative Speculation... got it

Watergate, was not far-fetched, it was a conspiracy, not a theory, a conspiracy. ... articles like this have confused authors who want their fantasy conspiracies to be real.

Too bad Bigfoot and 911 Truth are bogus claims, and not one of the 33. Finding real conspiracies will not save 911 truth from the bit-bucket of failed fantasies.

"33 real conspiracies that conspiracy theorists completely missed while obsessing over imaginary conspiracies." The actual track record of "conspiracy theorists" uncovering conspiracies before journalists and investigative reporters did is pretty dismal: it's non-existent.

The 33 real conspiracies did not turn out to be true because some mindless conspiracy theorist said they were true. 33 real conspiracies were true it because of evidence, and it really happened. The 911 truth movement has no evidence, and never will. 911 truth paranoid conspiracy theorists have lies and fantasy they believe are evidence for their delusion.

These real conspiracies were not theories. Is the article a hope from some failed conspiracy theorist his theories will come truth if he keeps spreading lies, or what.

Why can't paranoid conspiracy theorists find the real conspiracies? They are too busy making up lies to support their fantasy, with shallow research and no critical thinking skills, they are lost in fantasy.

Is that what you subscribe to? Is that what you believe? Honestly? No wonder you have no idea whatsoever about anything if you fall for that sort of hogwash.

You'd buy a bridge made of spaghetti noodles if someone tried to sell one to you.

they seem to have left out one of the biggest

...the Bush administration conspiracy to manufacture a pretext (WMDs) for invading Iraq

as we all know, there were no WMDs in Iraq.

Gee and I wonder if they could have manufactured a pretext for invading Afghanistan as well?
9/11 perhaps? Nah....the government would never lie to us.
