How many operations and incidents would've been considered 'conspiracy theory'
until the government came out and admitted they happened?
MK Ultra and Operation Paperclip spring to mind. You think the state department just held a press conference and said "Yeah we smashed those nazis good... but now some of them are working with us with access to quite a bit of top secret information"
And people are retarded enough to call you a conspiracy theorist for asking for a single video of a plane hitting the Pentagon.
