Historically Confirmed

Oh, and several plots to kill Castro (one of which involved the mob). Also confirmed by the family jewels.

What are some pieces of history regarded as conspiracy theories at the time when they were relavent but have now been promoted by historians to the status of truth rather than conspiracy. I know they are out there but i'm too lazy to research it right now LOL. Rating: 5

Nationwide warrantless wiretapping done by the CIA in the 60s/70s (confirmed by the family jewels)

A certain hallucinogen being 'experimented' with via the CIA administering massive doses to unwitting citizens. in one case, a man fell to his death from a window while alone in his hotel room...Nobody was sure why, considering the autopsy showed no traces of drugs or alcohol (this hallucinogen wasn't, and still isn't normally tested for), until the testicles were released.

fixed.

fixed.

...what?

Look at the bolded word. Then look at his original post. Family jewels is now testicles. It had to happen.

that the world is round

That isn't a conspiracy though... that was just a general belief. Aka: science sucked back then

Jouryokujin, what drug was that? It wasn't LSD, was it? I would assume that is the obvious answer, but maybe not?

Yup. Just didn't want to mention another substance on the forum. We knew they experimented with that, but we weren't sure it led to the accidental death of subjects, showing the CIA's irresponsibility.

This wasn't ever much of a conspiracy, but its interesting: In 1942, THC acetate was the US's first choice when it came to truth serum.
