Operation Northwoods was a series of proposals that originated within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) of the United States government in 1962. The proposals, which called for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or other operatives, to commit acts of terrorism in US cities and elsewhere, were rejected by the Kennedy administration.[2] At the time of the proposal, Cuba had recently become communist under Fidel Castro. The operation proposed creating public support for a war against Cuba by blaming it for terrorist acts.[3] To this end, Operation Northwoods proposals recommended hijackings and bombings followed by the introduction of phony evidence that would implicate the Cuban government.
The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially halted in 1973.[2] The program engaged in many illegal activities;[3][4][5] in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy.[3](p74)[6][7][8] MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people's mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially '___') and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
The U.S. Government began to maliciously poison certain alcohol supplies to attempt to keep people from drinking it. Edward Behr, author of Prohibition: Thirteen Years that Changed America, wrote that by 1927 more than 50,000 Americans may have been fatally poisoned by alcohol produced under the auspices of the U.S. government; many more people were rendered blind or paralyzed. Indeed, the government gave no regard for the lives destroyed upon consumption. In a sick irony, their policies were intentionally destroying lives, while simultaneously being promoted as saving lives.
The Tuskegee syphilis experiment (/tʌsˈkiːɡiː/)[1] was an infamous clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the U.S. Public Health Service to study the natural progression of untreated syphilis in rural African American men who thought they were receiving free health care from the U.S. government.[1]
Operation Mockingbird was a secret campaign by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to influence media. Begun in the 1950s, it was initially organized by Cord Meyer and Allen W. Dulles, it was later led by Frank Wisner after Dulles became the head of the CIA. The organization recruited leading American journalists into a network to help present the CIA's views, and funded some student and cultural organizations, and magazines as fronts. As it developed, it also worked to influence foreign media and political campaigns, in addition to activities by other operating units of the CIA. In addition to earlier exposés of CIA activities in foreign affairs, in 1966 Ramparts magazine published an article revealing that the National Student Association was funded by the CIA. The United States Congress investigated, and published its report in 1976

The women in that vid reminded me why I threw my tv out, she's just like those jerks on british tv who ask a question then immediately butt in when the guy tries to answer.
Be interesting to see how this thread goes
MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people's mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially '___')
The plan called for U.S. personnel to disguise themselves as agents of the Cuban government and to engage in terrorist attacks on the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay. It also called for terrorist attacks within the United States that would be conducted by pro-U.S. forces disguising themselves as Cuban agents.

If anyone wants to delve further down that rabbit hole and discover the connection between the governments programs to stone out the hippy movement with drugs, they can read about it here.
Discover the advent of '___' (Owsley acid) and the source it claimed was the CIA. Right about the time whatsisface took that walk out the twelfth story window.
Weird. AcId and glass panes are blanked.
These and other conspiracies aren't theories. I lived thru the times of some of them.

What I would like to see is those tried and true debunkers on here who refuse to admit that the government is capable of the things we conspiracy theorists claim they have can and will do.

Let me know if I'm one of those and I'll totally respond in a more full way.
I honestly believe that many skeptics don't have a problem with a lot you've said. I've been under the belief that the government have been tapping phones and tracking internet traffic indiscriminately for at least 15 years. I'm actually surprised anyone would have made an argument against those things.
MKUltra was a dark but also hilarious time of human history with governments doing whacky things such as funding gay rights thinking it would turn nations weak. Ironically, gay rights have actually made countries harder to infiltrate for the intelligence community; homosexual persons used to be a 'go to' to flip an asset like a pancake because gay people were already stigmatized by their own nation.
I think it should be known as the 'Get Smart' period of human history, because some of it really was that silly.

This post was very informative. I didn't realize there were so many conspiracies that were actually proven to be true. For me, believing these conspiracy theories to be true is not the hard part. Understanding how so many people can commit such extreme acts of evil against there own people is what baffles me. How do you convince people brought up on the same basic morals (killing is wrong, etc.) that poisoning, syphillis experimentation, and propoganda are okay? I'm sure not all of these people woke up one day and said, "Hey, let's kill these guys and infect these other ones and watch what happens!" Somewhere on down the line the evil comes to a single head. Where does the serpent lie?

Yes MkUltra was such a hilarious time *roll eyes* I wouldn't really call what they did "whacky" I'd call in inhumane.

Thank you to the OP for sharing these 5 conspiracies that are fact. I only knew about 2 of the 5
