25 Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out To Be True

Conspiracy theories are a dime a dozen and most are either ridiculous or just plain impossible. But, every once in a while we come to find out that the ridiculously impossible is actually true. Wrestling is fake, the NSA is spying on us, and your ATM can recognize you. These are 25 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true.

The military is conspiring to instill fear in the populace - A classic theory, this one proved to be true when John F. Kennedy went haywire on the Joint Chiefs of Staff for planning to cause insane mayhem throughout America. Some say this was why he was eventually assassinated.

Heart attack guns exist - It’s real and it was disclosed by the CIA in 1975. It fires a bullet made of ice, dipped in shellfish toxin which immediately induces a heart attack.

FBI is conspiring against civil activists - Known as COINTELPRO, this was the FBI’s anti activist program. It targeted numerous groups such as the black panthers and the NAACP.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident never really happened - Long considered a coverup by the CIA, we now know it was the NSA that dropped the ball and the incident that the United States used to spark the Vietnam War was only partially true.

The FBI poisoned alcohol during prohibition - As far fetched as it may seem, the FBI did try to “dissuade” people from drinking.

Texas is going to run out of water - According to several reports, in recent years Texas has even had to import water.

The IRS is targeting conservatives - This discriminatory taxation was all over the news recently and caused some embarrassment for the liberal side of the American politics.

Fluoride is bad for your teeth - Long denied, recently the Department of Health and Human Services are proposing a change to drinking water due to factors such as streaking on children’s teeth.

Watergate was put on by Nixon - Although it took a long time, when Deep Throat came forward recently all questions were dispelled about who was involved.

Wrestling is fake - We know, it seems trivial compared to the rest of the list, but when a fan who called himself Dolphins1925 started releasing the winners of wrestling matches ahead of time it really caused an outrage…and got wrestling the top spot on our list.
