[10] CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT TURNED OUT TO BE TRUE:
G'day viewer.
In recent years, the mere notion of the conspiracy theory has increasingly been stigmatised and ridiculed by mainstream news outlets, internet trolls, and 'rational-thinkers'... Yet, with powerful revelations by Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, WikiLeaks, and generations of intrepid journalists, we now know that many outlandish geopolitical and domestic 'conspiracy-theories' were and are 'cold-blooded-truths' of the modern world.

HERE ARE 10 THAT ARE 'WELL-DOCUMENTED' AND PROFOUNDLY DISTURBING:
[1] THE GULF OF TONKIN INCIDENT:
The Gulf of Tonkin incident, a major escalator of US involvement in the Vietnam War, never actually occurred, it’s true.
The original incident, also sometimes referred to as the 'USS-Maddox-Incident', involved the destroyer USS Maddox supposedly engaging three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats as part of an intelligence patrol... The Maddox fired almost 300 shells.
President Lyndon B. Johnson promptly drafted the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which became his administration’s legal justification for military involvement in Vietnam... The problem is, the event never happened.
In 2005, a declassified internal National Security Agency study revealed that there were no North Vietnamese naval vessels present during the incident... So, what was the Maddox firing at?
In 1965, President Johnson commented... "For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there".
Worth pointing out, the NSA’s own historian, Robert J. Hanyok, wrote a report stating that the agency had deliberately distorted intelligence reports in 1964... He concluded.. The parallels between the faulty intelligence on Tonkin Gulf and the manipulated intelligence used to justify the Iraq War make it all the more worthwhile to re-examine the events of August 1964.
[2] TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS EXPERIMENT:
Between 1932 and 1972, the US Public Health Service conducted a clinical study on rural African American men who had contracted syphilis... The Public Health Service never informed these men they had a sexually transmitted disease, nor did they offer treatment, even after penicillin became available as a cure in the 1940's.
Tragically, it’s true... Rather than receiving treatment, the subjects of these studies were told they had 'bad-blood'.
When World War II began, 250 of the men registered for the draft and were only then, for the first time, informed they had syphilis... Even then, the PHS denied them treatment.
By the early 1970's, 128 of the original 399 men had died of syphilis and 'syphilis-related-complications', 40 of their wives had the disease and 19 of their children were born with 'congenital-syphilis'.
Worth pointing out... A similar experiment conducted on 'prisoners', 'soldiers', and 'patients' of a 'mental-hospital' in 'Guatemala' actually involved the 'PHS' deliberately infecting the patients and then treating them with antibiotics.
[3] PROJECT MK-ULTRA:
The CIA ran secret mind control experiments on US citizens from the 1950's until 1973.
It’s so true that in 1995 President Clinton actually issued a formal apology on behalf of the US government.
Essentially, the CIA used 'drugs', 'electronics', 'hypnosis', 'sensory-deprivation', 'verbal-and-sexual-abuse', and 'torture' to conduct experimental behavioural engineering experiments on the subjects... The program subcontracted hundreds of these projects to over 80 different institutions, including 'universities', 'hospitals', 'prisons', and 'pharmaceutical-companies'.
Most of this was uncovered in 1977 when a Freedom of Information Act exposed 20,000 previously classified documents and triggered a series of Senate hearings.
Because CIA Director Richard Helms had most of the more damning MKULTRA files destroyed in 1973, much of what actually occurred during these experiments is still unknown and, of course, not a single person was brought to justice.
Richard Helms
Worth pointing out... There is growing evidence that 'Theodore-Kaczynski', otherwise known as the 'Unabomber', was a subject of 'Project-MK-Ultra' while he was at Harvard in the late 1950's.
[4] OPERATION NORTHWOODS:
The Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US military drew up and approved plans to create acts of terrorism on US soil in order to sway the American public into supporting a war against Cuba.
It’s true and the documents are out there.
Fortunately, President Kennedy rejected the plan, which included innocent Americans being shot dead on the streets, boats carrying refugees fleeing Cuba, to be sunk on the high seas, a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere, people being framed for bombings they did not commit, and planes being hijacked.
Additionally, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer, planned to fabricate evidence that would implicate Fidel Castro and Cuban refugees as the perpetrators of the attacks.
Perhaps most horrifyingly, Lemnitzer planned for an elaborately staged incident whereby a Cuban aircraft would attack and shoot down a plane full of college students.
[5] CIA DRUG TRAFFICKING:
During the 1980's, the CIA facilitated the sale of cocaine to the 'Crips' and 'Bloods' street gangs of 'Los-Angeles' and funnelled millions in drug profits to a Latin American 'guerrilla-army'.
It’s convoluted and complex, but it’s true.
Gary Webb’s book Dark Alliance... The 'CIA', the 'Contras', and the 'Crack-Cocaine-Explosion' outlines how 'CIA-backed-Contras' smuggled cocaine into the U.S. and then distributed crack to Los Angeles gangs, pocketing the profits... The CIA directly aided the drug dealers to raise money for the Contras.
"This drug network, Webb wrote in a 1996 San Jose Mercury News article, opened the first pipeline between Colombia’s cocaine cartels and the black neighbourhoods of Los Angeles, a city now known as the 'crack-capital-of-the-world'... The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America and provided the cash and connections needed for L.A.'s gangs to buy automatic weapons".
Worth pointing out... On December 10, 2004, Webb committed suicide under suspicious circumstances, namely the fact that he used 'two-bullets' to shoot himself in the head.
[6] OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD:
In the late 1940's, as the Cold War was just getting under way, the CIA launched a top secret project called 'Operation-Mockingbird'... Their goal was to buy influence and control among the major media outlets... They also planned to put journalists and reporters directly on the CIA payroll, which some claim is ongoing to this day.
The architects of this plan were 'Frank-Wisner', 'Allen-Dulles', 'Richard-Helms', and 'Philip-Graham', publisher of The Washington Post, who planned to enlist American news organizations and journalists to basically become 'spies' and 'propagandists'.
Their list of entrenched agents eventually included journalists from #ABC, #NBC, #CBS, #Time, #Newsweek, #AssociatedPress, #UnitedPressInternational (#UPI), #Reuters, #HearstNewspapers, #Scripps_Howard, and #CopleyNewsService... By the 1950's, the CIA had infiltrated the nation’s 'businesses', 'media', and 'universities' with tens of thousands of 'on-call-operatives'.
Fortunately, our media is no longer lured in by corporations and governments to disseminate propaganda and disinformation... Right?
[7] COINTELPRO:
COINTELPRO was a series of clandestine, illegal FBI projects that infiltrated domestic political organizations to discredit and smear them... This included critics of the Vietnam War, civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King and a wide variety of activists and journalists.
The acts committed against them included 'psychological-warfare', 'slander' using 'forged-documents' and 'false-reports-in-the-media', 'harassment', 'wrongful-imprisonment' and, according to some, 'intimidation' and possibly 'violence' and 'assassination'.
Similar and possibly more sophisticated tactics are still used today, including NSA monitoring... (see #10).
[8] OPERATION SNOW WHITE:
Operation Snow White is the name given to an unprecedented infiltration of the US government by the 'Church-of-Scientology' during the 1970's... They stole classified government files regarding Scientology from dozens of government agencies.
In 1977, the FBI finally cracked Snow White open which led to the arrest and imprisonment of a senior Church official.
The core mission of the program was to expose and legally expunge all false and secret files of the nations of operating areas and to enable Church seniors and L. Ron Hubbard himself to frequent all Western nations without threat.
By the end, of course, there was nothing legal about their endeavours.
[9] SECRET GLOBAL ECONOMIC POLICIES:
For years, activists who feared a sinister globalist corporatocracy were told they were being paranoid.
Whether you want to call it the New World Order or not, they were right.
In 2013, WikiLeaks released the secretly negotiated draft text for the entire #TransPacificPartnership Intellectual Property Rights Chapter... It revealed a 'closed-door' regional free trade agreement being negotiated by countries in the 'Asia-Pacific-region', including #Australia, #Brunei #Darussalam, #Canada, #Chile, #Japan, #Malaysia, #Mexico, #NewZealand, #Peru, #Singapore, the #UnitedStates, and #Vietnam.
The #ElectronicFrontierFoundation says the #TPP has 'extensive-negative-ramifications' for users’ freedom of speech, right to privacy and due process, and will hinder peoples’ abilities to innovate.
Worth pointing out... In June 2014, WikiLeaks revealed the even more 'far-reaching' 'Trade-in-Services-Agreement' (#TiSA), a '50-country-agreement' that will promote unprecedented levels of privatisation across the world.
The agreement will essentially prevent governments from returning public services into public hands... This could dramatically affect our ability to enact environmental regulations and keep workers safe.
[10] THE US GOVERNMENT ILLEGALLY SPIES ON ITS OWN CITIZENS:
This used to be laughed at as a 'dystopian-fantasy' derived from an 'overactive-imagination', Orwell’s 1984, and a juvenile distrust of the government... When you claimed 'they' were spying on you, people labelled you a 'paranoid-conspiracy-theorist', a 'tinfoil-hat-wearing-loon'.
Even after it was revealed that the NSA has been illegally eavesdropping on us and collecting our cell phone metadata for over a decade, people still hedged on the meaning of it... Yes, they are analysing our transmissions, but it’s under the auspices of national security... In a post 9/11 world certain liberties must be sacrificed for the sake of security... Right?
It turns out that is patently untrue... Not only is there no evidence that the NSA has protected us from terrorism, there is growing evidence that it makes us more vulnerable... Thanks to revelations about the NSA and their 'Prism-project', we know that the scope of the NSA’s eavesdropping is even beyond what we originally believed.
In early June of 2014, the Washington Post reported that almost 90% of the data being collected by NSA surveillance programs is from Internet users with no connection to terrorist activities... According to the 'American-Civil-Liberties-Union', this is in clear violation of the constitution.
The #ACLU is pursuing a lawsuit against the NSA, claiming that the 'dragnet-style' mass collection of data violates the Fourth Amendment right of privacy as well as the First Amendment rights of free speech and association. <source>
