30 Conspiracy Theories That Sound Crazy But Are 100% True

A horrible thing to do.

I read about this, JFK fired his Chief of Staff and many think his refusal to have innocent civilians killed in this evil plot was a factor in his assassination the following year.

21. Jeffrey Epstein was killed and if you think the cameras broke both guards fell asleep and he hung himself you’re an idiot.  ~

22. Playing football causes brain damage. They knew since the 80s but it was becoming such a juggernaut that they  denied it.  ~

23. My grandfather was afraid of moving into a nursing home or living alone.   He was convinced people working in elderly medical care were out to get him.   A few years later, a local nurse is in the news as a serial killer who believed she was doing the right thing ending lives early.   Around the same time a home visiting nurse, who was supposed to help him, got frustrated and hit him, so I removed her from the house which was something he wouldn’t have been able to do.    After reporting that nurse everywhere, she was still doing home visits for an acquaintance (until I told him, too).  ~

24. Ernest Hemingway believed he was being followed by the FBI. It was passed off as paranoid delusions by the medical community and the world at large. But the freedom of information act revealed that Hemingway was an amateur agent in Cuba during the war, but also seen as a potential communist sympathizer by the FBI, who did later follow him. It played a major role in his suicide, though obviously there were many other factors.   ~

25. Political decisions (and frankly, any big decision) are not made by YOU and only you. As it has been proven again and again and again and again, the moment you log into any social media, open a newspaper, look outside or watch tv, your view begins to be manipulated by others. Even if you think you’re above that, you’re not. We’ve all speculated this, but now we know for a fact, our decisions are manipulated and there is no way to stop that.  ~

26. Operation Condor. The USA financed with money and weapons military groups in all South America, to prevent the communism or socialism to impose in any country on the continent. It turns out that they began to establish dictatorships that in some cases lasted for decades, disappearing tens of thousands of people against the regime. One of the most widely known case is Pinochet in Chile and Videla in Argentina.  ~

27. The CIA kick stared the crack epidemic that devastated many US black urban areas in the ’80s in order to pay for death squads in Central America.

There was an investigative series in the mid-90s written by a journalist named Gary Webb in the San Jose Mercury News where he chronicled the CIA’s trafficking of cocaine on behalf of the anti-Communist Contras in Nicaragua. This got picked up by several other larger newspapers and prompted several official government investigations.

The paper got pushback which eventually led to them retracting parts of the investigative series and the official government reports whitewashed the entire thing and Gary Webb resigned in disgrace. He would later ‘kill himself’ in 2004.  ~

28. The Business Plot: the 1930s robber barons attempted a violent overthrow of FDR’s government, with the intention of installing fascism. Smedley Butler, the man they had hoped would lead their coup, exposed them, making them look ridiculous and leading to a coverup (but nonetheless rendering the plot a failure). They destroyed his career, which never recovered, and he died in obscurity in West Chester, Pennsylvania.



There’s a good chance that we would have seen a fascist/Nazi takeover of the country had one man not sacrificed his career to prevent it. Despite his heroism, few people today know his name.  ~

Rick, I shudder to think it could happen today.
