theories

that were actually conspiracy facts. Is there some theory that you once believed and now realize? it was a load of nonsense tell us in the comments the 10th Roswell cover-up in the summer of 1947 an object crashed to earth in Roswell, New Mexico, theories that it was an alien spacecraft have permeated pop culture for more half a century since everyone thinks that Roswell was the first UFO sighting in the United States in that roar the US Air Force claimed that the object was simply a weather balloon only added fuel to the fire and theorists of the conspiracy they were right, it wasn't a weather balloon and it wasn't a cover-up but it wasn't an extraterrestrial spacecraft either probably the object was a high altitude balloon launched as part of the tycoon project these balloons were intended to detect sound waves from Soviet atomic bomb testing during the Cold War the US military couldn't Don't exactly be honest about that in the papers now, whether you think it's another cover, well, it better not be another damn Russian spy job number nine.

The big lie of big tobacco. There is extensive use of this technology called ammonia chemistry, which enables nicotine. It is absorbed more quickly in the lungs and therefore affects the brain and central nervous system. Smoking causes lung cancer and many other adverse health effects. Scientists definitively demonstrated this in the 1950s. However, public opinion wavered for decades and sources emerged that generated controversy and debate. Some suspected that the tobacco industry was suppressing and distorting facts through a coordinated campaign and it was eventually revealed that they were together. The largest tobacco companies in the world started Operation Berkshire to generate false controversies and debates.

Big Tobacco knew that smoking caused cancer and that nicotine was addictive they decided not to make cigarettes less harmful because addiction made them a lot of money now the work we did here is confidential not for public scrutiny other than the affairs of our family you are threatening my family now it also just goes to show where there is smoke, there is often fire, look how the camels agree with your throat, look how smooth and good tasting a cigarette can be, number eight, white socks in the world series, the chicago white sox hold the record for having one of the longest droughts between winning the world series, 87 years, however, they were not always known for their bad luck in the late 1910s, the Sox won in 1917 and even had a stunner like barefoot Joe Jackson on the team, but rumors during the 1919 series held that the games were fixed by the White Sox.

He lost the series, but the rumors persisted for the next year. Ultimately, a grand jury found evidence that eight players, including Jackson, although his role is in dispute, were involved in a conspiracy to receive money in exchange for losing the series. I think the Black Sox players saw a high reward for what they were doing - they could earn as much as their annual salary in a week for fixing the world series while a trial found them innocent - yet they were permanently banned from the league. number seven nefarious agents infiltrated the government that is the church of scientology infamously susceptible to any criticism of its organization, I didn't mean anything by that, I don't even know, I will direct it.

His influence on celebrities is well known, but theories about his influence on the government also exist and this is the point. Scientologists actually infiltrated the government in the 1970s at least 5,000 members of the organization carried out espionage on government agencies and private organizations and this was also not a fringe element the founder's wife, mary sue hubbard, pleaded guilty and went to prison, was one of the largest-scale infiltrations of the US government in history, all of this was done with the goal of destroying evidence that painted Scientology in an unfavorable light. Arguably it had the opposite effect, those Scientologists, they could be quite sensitive.

Number six, the FBI spied on politicians. Activists involved in political protests and other activist causes are often paranoid that they are being watched, and they should be because it has happened before and can happen again. Tapes from hotel rooms. FBI reports. Those are pieces of information we shouldn't have. From the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the FBI engaged in illegal surveillance infiltration and disruption of protest movements and other organizations considered subversive. He realized how sick this country was. We were trying to reveal the truth about segregation. These ranged from independence movements to civil rights movements. for feminist organizations they even had john lennon, the former leader of the beatles, under surveillance while this program called cointelpro was abolished in 1971 others may have taken its place this represents the darkest part of the history of office number five the first female president of the united states has yet to elect a woman to the office of president by the electoral college, anyway some theorize that a woman assumed the duties of the office as early as 1919. president woodrow wilson suffered a stroke debilitating condition that left him bedridden and partially paralyzed with some impaired judgment.

Don't help him become president, what kind of wife am I? For over a year, Wilson's wife, Edith, helped him run the country to the point that she was basically doing his job in all but name. The extent of his involvement was kept secret. secret and Wilson herself denied making executive decisions until her death, so he sits there and they like to wave his arm and then they just release it to the press and that's how stupid people were back then number four, the government told you is spying The common refrain from crackpots and conspiracy fanatics for decades has been that the government is watching our every move and it's not all bad with the rise of smartphones and the Internet, the government has unprecedented access to information about their citizens, they are following us behind them.

After 9/11 the Bush administration began wide-ranging mass surveillance programs both abroad and at home NSA activities in the years since have included absorbing and storing online history emails metadata text messages you name it Edward Snowden revealed much of this information with his leaks including how other governments were also involved, even if you send it to someone inside the United States, your sacred domestic communication between you and your wife can go from New York to London and back and stay trapped in the database. Few believe that in the time that has passed since then. governments just gave up the third false justification for war in august 1964 the uss maddox fired a warning shot as three north vietnamese torpedo boats approached the gulf of tonkin after the torpedo boats opened fire the maddox sank all three two days later the report of a The second attack led President Lyndon B.

Johnson to authorize new military action in Vietnam for years people questioned this justification at one point the ship's commander said we were not sure about the attack at another time they said yes, we are absolutely positive and finally At the end of the day, Admiral Sharp said yes, we are sure that it happened. It was eventually revealed that the second attack was imaginary based on misinterpreted communications interceptions. It was not the last dubious justification for war in 1990. George H.W. Bush took advantage of false testimony prepared by a public relations firm to start the gulf war more than a decade later, his son would falsely claim that iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction to justify an invasion, the people of the united states and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an illegal regime that threatens peace with weapons of mass murder number two Watergate scandal perhaps the most well-known political conspiracy of all time the Watergate scandal was unthinkable when it occurred because people have to know if their president is a criminal or not the scandal began when republican president richard the nixon administration illegally intervened and broke into the headquarters of the democratic national committee we do not know who ordered the robbery and we do not really know what the robbers were doing that night their goal was to acquire information about nixon's opposition in the upcoming election The arrest of the perpetrators led Nixon and his administration to attempt to cover up their involvement, however, mounting evidence and leaks soon exploded into a scandal that has become synonymous with political disgrace. and that led to Nixon's resignation.

One of the things that is so difficult to recreate and understand. Now, looking back, it made no sense that the president could lie to the American people. Things have changed, Garrett.

In 1970, a commission into CIA activities in the US exposed the existence of Project Ultra, a secret program that used drugs and torture to manipulate the mental states of its victims. The kool-aid was spiked with LSD. It was horrible. These experiments were carried out on prisoners in secret detention centers around the world, as well as in American universities, hospitals, and prisons. The CIA also funded brutal experiments with electroconvulsive therapy in Montreal, Canada. MK Ultra victims included Ken Keezy and Alan Ginsberg. It is one of the darkest conspiracies that exist and we still do not know its full extent. did you enjoy this video?
