Theories that were initially laughed at by political left.

Why limit it to the left? It takes the left and the right wing to fly the government.

The Maine was blown up by he Spanish in Havana Harbour, Leading to the Spanish American war.

The Lusitania was a neutral passenger ship that was torpedoed by the Germans.

The Vietnamese attacked us in Tonkin gulf.

These 3 events have been proven false.

There are so many more theories speculated but as yet "unproven".

Frankly, who gives a shit about this one? The Germans were conducting sabotage and paying Mexican gangs to attack Americans on US Soil, and not only put bombs on neutral US Ships but sank other US ships.

We fought a War over the SEARCHING, much less Torpedo'ing, of US Ships. In fact it was the first War we fought as a Independent Nation.

We had multiple major causus belli before the Lusitania was sunk.

This very well may be true. What was the motivation for the Germans to be doing this?

Was it because the United States was arming the nations that Germany was fighting? It's never as simple as "country X bad US good"

Saddam Hussein was a tyrant that ruthlessly controlled his political opposition. He was also the ally of the United States in the 1980s. The Sa'ud Family is nothing but a criminal family they are obviously a mafia, they are a current ally of the United States.

Hi all,

I’d like to assemble a list of “conspiracy theories” that ended up coming true.

...Theories that were initially laughed at by political left.

If you can help me assemble this list, that would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Project MKUltra was once considered a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Operation Ajax and PBSuccess were both called conspiracy theories.

I don't know if this qualifies, but the FBI worked alongside the people who set off a bomb in the WTC in 1993. Emad Salem was one of the informants, he didn't trust the FBI (and was correct to do so) and recorded his dealings with the FBI.

Those are proven. There's of course a lot that aren't proven, but have a hell of a lot of evidence to suggest they are true. For example, the Bush administration never believed Hussein had a weapons of mass destruction program and just lied about it and that Nayirah testimony was known to be false when she gave it at congress:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony

Also, Bana al-Abed was never in Aleppo when it was being bombed. Remember her? She was the little girl that was supposedly sending tweets from Aleppo when it was being bombed, every single day. I can't imagine the Internet infrastructure of Aleppo is superior to Silicon Valley's - we lose internet frequently on windy days.

Oh yeah, also the Douma Chemical attacks never happened, two whistleblowers came forward from the OPCW to indicate that was a lie, and probably Ghouta didn't happen but we don't know - it may have happened but was a false flag, unlikely the Assad would do it.

Also, Qaddafi wasn't "about to cause a humanitarian crisis" in Libya. The US doesn't bomb nations over humanitarian rights.

“There won’t be vaccine passports”

Are there though? At least domestically. I've never been asked for one yet. I know there's a card, but what industry/place is asking for them? Negative tests are usually all you need in most places. Pain for sure. But I haven't been restricted from anything yet.

Still a conspiracy theory. It was many decades before it was general knowledge that the Lusitania was carrying munitions and not just a passenger ship torpedoed by the evil huns.

nYC, San Francisco, LA, and others have mandated vaccines for public areas including restaurants and stores. Maybe the “passport” is just your stupid CDC card right now but that’s evolving fast. With the FDA APPROVAL, mandates are going to sprout up in cities and corporations like weeds after a Spring rain.

In SF it's a picture of a CDC card on a phone. For now.
