Just for fun, I'll post a "CT's that turned out to be true" link.

BTW, I'm not defending any particular CT; but I do think that truth is stranger than fiction!

I remember being A-1 in the draft and arguing with my (Major) father about the CT that the US was lying about being in Cambodia and lying about casualty figures.

When we watched the Watergate investigations around a TV in the college student center lounge, tv commentators said it was a CT with no basis in fact.

Some things are nonsense, some turn out to be the truth, and many remain a mystery forever!

1. The claim that...

the Federal Reserve Act was a conspiracy is just bullshit from Griffin and Mullins and renders the rest of the list suspect. Although there are a number of recognizable and verifiable conspiracies listed, I'd take this with a grain of salt.

4. I don't doubt that some items on this list have questions..

but I've lived though some weird history that seemed unbelievable at the time, so I try to be open-minded but also look for evidence. Sometimes there simply isn't any way to know what the truth really is...

5. "Sometimes there simply isn't any way to know what the truth really is..."

In this case, dude, there actually is.

2. This again?

A conspiracy is not the same thing as a conspiracy theory.
This is a list of conspiracies, which certainly do exist.

3. And, of course...

if we compiled a list of conspiracy theories that were not actual conspiracies, it would dwarf this list.
