Conspiracy Theories That Turn Out To Be True?

[Oldgrunt]

Like many other people, I enjoy reading articles about government conspiracies and have laughed at how ridiculous some theories have seemed. The term conspiracy theory was a term adopted by the CIA after the Kennedy assassinations (John F. and Robert) in order to make anyone who speculated that there was some vast covert action involved as being an escapee from the looney bin. Recent studies by psychologists and social scientists in the U.S. and U.K. suggest the contrary to mainstream media stereotypes. They have suggested that "conspiracy theorists" appear to be saner than those who accept the official government versions of events. Here is a list of "conspiracies" which were later found not to be theories but, indeed fact. So next time you see some whacky theory proposed, maybe it isn't as whacky as one would think.

Anything's possible, it's the probability thing that gets in the way.

Huh... Some of those I wasn't aware had ever been conspiracies... They do word them in a scary a way as possible: "human-animal hybrid" scariness. Who hasn't seen the mouse with a human ear on it's back? For the most part, that's just trying to find a way to grow new organs for transplant, though 3D printing might be the way to go now. And why is it creepy that they use genetically modified animals in experiments? Of course they do that... if they are as genetically ideal (neutral and exactly the same) as possible, they get better results. I'm not as interested in biology sciences, but I know a little.

Heard of several other theory-facts, too, but you get the idea.
