Heres an old post with details.
https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/2928366/replies/51079391I am not huge on conspiracy theories. I don't really think the CIA blew up the towers. I don't really think aliens are here, etc.
HOWEVER.
The simple fact of the matter is that the list of things that governments, including OUR government, have done, that are known, declassified, not subject to debate, are so OUTRAGEOUS, RIDICULOUS, and just plain UNBELIEVABLE, that people who just dismiss outlandish claims as 'conspiracy theories' must be uneducated about them. There is almost NOTHING so outlandish that you should close your mind to the possibility without careful consideration.
So here is a very brief list of known, declassified, acknowledged things that people would have called ridiculous conspiracy theories:
(I'm not even going to go into the widely known ones, like MK Ultra, the fact that our wartime president was fatally ill and hadn't been able to walk for years, the fact that other presidents kept harems in the whitehouse, FBI was spying on MLK, CIA importing cocaine, Air America, fast and furious, iran contra, funding the dalai lama, Hoover and his private blackmail files and gay lovers, operation paperclip, the Bilderberg group, tobacco industry, Cointelpro, HSBC drug money laundering, all the crap that went along with the 2007 financial crisis, snowden, Powell's gulf war bio weapons speech, Watergate, gulf of Tonkin, various latin American and middle eastern coups, etc those alone should keep any American on their toes about 'tinfoil hat' accusations. But there's plenty more);
Operation Argus: let's secretly send a whole fleet to the south atlantic and blow up a bunch of nuclear bombs in the upper atmosphere, to see if we can **** up the atmosphere so badly that we can create a radiation ring over the U.S. that will fry the electronics of all those inbound soviet ICBM's.
Project QKHILLTOP Cornell experiments on deprivation, humiliation, torture, brainwashing, hypnoses, and more luckily was stopped before providing american test subjects. but read on.
Project Artichoke, studied hypnosis, forced morphine addiction, drug withdrawal, and the use of chemicals to incite amnesia in unwitting human subjects.
Operation Midnight Climax sought to study the effects of LSD on individuals. In San Francisco and New York, unconsenting subjects were lured to safehouses by prostitutes on the CIA payroll, unknowingly given LSD and other mind-altering substances, and monitored from behind one-way glass.
San Quentin used prisoners as test subjects in a variety of bizarre medical experiments including sterilization, and of course, logically, performing testicle transplants on living prisoners using testicles from executed prisoners and, in some cases, from goats and boars.
The United States and Guatemalan governments deliberately infected soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners, and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, resulting in at least 30 documented deaths.
The U.S. Public Health Service and Tuskegee Institute paid hundreds of broke ass minorities to infect them with syphilis, telling them they were receiving free healthcare, meals, and burial insurance in exchange for participating (not telling them they were injecting them with syphilis).
The US Army released millions of infected mosquitoes on to Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida, in order to see if the insects could spread yellow fever and dengue fever. Not surprisingly it worked, and several americans died.
Vanderbilt gave 829 pregnant women "vitamin drinks" they were told would improve the health of their unborn babies. Instead, the drinks contained radioactive iron and the researchers were studying how quickly the radioisotope crossed into the placenta. At least seven of the babies later died from cancers and leukemia, and the women themselves experienced rashes, bruises, anemia, loss of hair and tooth, and cancer.
The U.S. Navy asked some boot camp recruits if they wanted to participate in an experiment that would help shorten WW2. Later the volunteers were told they were going to be mustard gassed, and threatened with the Espionage Act if they complained about it.
Project 112 sprayed operational ships and crews with nerve gases to test the effectiveness of safety and decontamination procedures.
Oak Ridge injected plutonium into the victim of a car accident to see how quickly the human body rid itself of the radioactive substance.
Operation Popeye cloud-seeded the Ho Chi Minh Trail to wash out roads and make transportation difficult.
Operation Mockingbird spied on the press, and paid journalists to publish CIA propaganda, and the CIA worked with the AG, SecDef, and then DIA to wiretap americans. (this one is for you chem trail guys - the US military actually WAS engaging in weather modification for the last 40+ years).
The US government mandated poisoning alcohol with benzene, formaldehyde, etc., to discourage people from drinking industrial alcohol during prohibition.
Polio vaccine quality control failures infected millions of americans with SV40 monkey virus.
The US government spent 6 years on a study of dousing enemy troops with female pheromones to see if they could make enemy soldiers less effective. Yes, we spent millions on a gay bomb. My how times have changed.
Bayer dumped much of its defective blood clot medication in third world markets rather than disposing of it.
The church of scientology attempted a mass infiltration of the US government to increase its influence (operation snow white)
Operation Northwoods The US military submitted a legitimate proposal of false flag acts including acts of terrorism in U.S. cities, killing innocent people and U.S. soldiers, blowing up a U.S. ship, assassinating Cuban migrs, sinking boats of Cuban refugees, and hijacking planes, in order to provoke a war with Cuba.
I can go on.
Or the Russians, my god. Things like supercontagious chimeric measle viruses mixed with ebola genetics, etc.
And let's not leave science out. We live in a world of spooky entanglement, sending photons back in time, closed timelike curves, etc.
So, everyone, maybe we could list your other ones, or your critiques, or talk about area 51, or whatever, and keep the tinfoil hat discussion here instead of Q anon. That thread should stay a substantive discussion, IMO.
