16 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out to Be True
Conspiracy theories are mostly random and incorrect, so people generally do not believe them. However, many times, theorists had guessed the right thing way before it was confirmed to be true. Here's a list of 25 such interesting theories gathered by Ask Reddit later revealed to be factual information.
1.
“Marylin Monroe was being spied on by...everyone. Seriously. When another owner of her former residence decided to renovate, the number of wires and bugging they found was astounding.”
3.
“There were, in fact, incidents where "undesirables" (certain races, disabled people, etc) were sterilized without their consent, going back as far as the 1800s. And there are still allegations of this happening, today.”
5.
“The FBI did want Martin Luther King Jr dead and even went as far as sending him letters trying to bully him into dying by suicide. They may not have put a gun in James Earl Ray's hands, but they were happy with the outcome.”
6.
“Ms. Spears posted weird videos on instagram, seemingly normal at first glance but extremely creepy and weird the more you watch them. Some people said she was calling for help.”
7.
“Pretty much everything in the Panama Papers was part of one conspiracy theory or another and they were all proved pretty much right.”
9.
“Not officially confirmed as far as I know, but I think Gary Webb was likely correct about the CIA flooding black neighborhoods with crack in the 1980s to fund thier ops in Nicaragua. This was covered in his book series "Dark Alliance". He was later found with two gunshots to his head and his death was ruled a suicide.”
10.
“Remember: it isn't a left vs right issue. It is a top vs bottom issue.Edit: What I mean is it is those in power (top) vs those not in power (bottom). It is completely off balance with the majority of us being on the bottom and subject to those up top. "Rules for three, but not for me."Divided we fall. Whatever division we choose to quarrel about doesn't help the top vs bottom problem.”
12.
“MKUltra like someone above said, the FBI seeking out mentally disturbed people to help them plan attacks so they can arrest them right before they carry it out, COINTELPRO, Operation Northwoods and literally everything the CIA dabbles in. I also believe most people don't realize the government has worked directly with media companies since at least WW2 in an effort to sway public opinion in their favor. Add on the theater of left/right politics, 24hr talk shows posing as news and a executive order allowing the US people to openly be bombarded with harmful propaganda.”
14.
“There were no WMDs. The US government used that lie as an excuse to invade Iraq in the early 2000s.”
16.
“There was a post in another AskReddit thread about NDAs from a guy who worked at GSachs. His big secret was that there were supposedly a ton of anonymous, unregulated/illegal trading accounts within their system doing a ton of trading volume that all employees were told to ignore and not ask about. Apparently you have to go through a lot of certifications and identity stuff to open a fund of that type, yet these had none of that and were clearly black box slush funds of some kind, maybe worse. There's absolutely some crazy BS going on there.”
