  • Also during MK Ultra, the CIA put unaware college students under stress test, and had a undercover agent act as their professor. Many of the test broke the students. One student became the Unabomber.

    So whacky conspiracy theories get proven true yet we want to say the current ones are bull. What a time to be alive
  • @joefly6483
    It's a shame the distinction between conspiracy theories and critical thought processes has been blurred.
  • The last one, MK Ultra, was by far the worst. Thousands of innocent lives were destroyed, and the government agents that victimized innocent people were never held accountable, and are out there unpunished to this day.
  • Being a conspiracy theorist is like living in a horror movie where you constantly try to warn the people around you but it's like they're trapped by the script that they're in so that they continually make the worst decisions possible. It's like they're non-player characters who are just.... controlled.

    “Conspiracy Theories” wasn’t a thing until the CIA made it a thing after JFK’s death 🤐 that told me everything I needed to know
  • My late Aunt worked at Wright-Patterson during the Roswell incident and told me that she knew that there were alien bodies and wreckage being examined there at W-P. There was an older lady, a nurse I believe, who saw one of the poor creatures and the story got out a little until Aunty's office was "debriefed" (read: THREATENED.) She was very ill and said she did not care if they did take her out in the desert and shoot her. She was very spiritual and she did not lie. Brutally honest, sometimes.

    “That’s the thing about conspiracy theories: in a comforting sort of way, they give rise to the feeling that someone, somewhere, knows what’s going on.” — Glenn Reynolds

    The syphilis experiments should have at least been an honorable mention.
  • Disappointed to see that the severity of covid and the efficacy of its vaccines didn’t make the list.
  • @tantilist1449
    I hate when people use "conspiracy theorist" as an insult when Nazi Germany, MK ultra, water gate, Thomas Edison and electricity companies, and the trail of tears, all go on under our noses. People think that because this stuff happens in movies that it's unlikely to happen in reality. Which is not the case.
  • @kaas7672
    I find it kind of ironic that there was an almost total disregard for mental health back then, but mind control was somehow a thing
  • @joeyblaze2509
    still weird how nobody talks about how Charles Manson's psychiatrist was one of the top researchers of MK ULTRA, Roger Smith. *Edit: I mistakenly put Sidney Gottlieb since he assisted in the medical dosing of Manson Source: Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties By Tom O'Neill
  • @Redpillpat
    Conspiracy theory is just another phrase for spoiler alert.
  • @bryanbee1604
    Never forget that the people that already seen through these were all called "Crazy" before everybody else realized
  • My mother was thrown into one of those facilities in the early 50's because she witnessed something that was going to trial. For a year before they could get her out, she was given electric shock treatments and drugs to do this same thing. She was released but never given compensation for what she went through
  • I always laugh when people call others “tin foil hatters” and say that there is NO WAY that many people could ever keep a secret that big or get away with something like that. It’s like...are you serious?!?They have done it thousands of times already and they are doing it RIGHT NOW! Can’t believe people are actually falling for it again and saying “Our government would never do that and it would be impossible to hide it”. lmfao
  • @gdawg4ever119
    Just know that any conspiracy theory the MSM takes time to condemn, is always gonna be true.
