      • MK Ultra
      • Cointelpro
      • Tuskegee Syphilis Study
      • CIA assassination plots
      • Iran Contra

      All of these were “conspiracy theories” when I was young and now we know they really happened. This is just off the top of my head. These are not really “tame” in my book.

        Counterpoint: the “Jews” didn’t kill Texas kids in a flood, the local Texas government that stole federal funds from the flood warning system to give bonuses to sheriffs did.

      “Tame” like conducting experiments for chemical warfare on humans?

      “Tame” like smuggling Cocaine into the US to help a Fascist terrorist group in El Salvador murder tens of thousands of people on the one hand and paying weapons to fuel a war between Iraq and Iran on the other hand with that money?

      “Tame” like helping Saddam Hussein use chemical weapons? https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2013/08/26/215733981/new-details-on-how-u-s-helped-saddam-as-he-gassed-iran

      “Tame” like the NSA spying on everyone and everything?

      “Tame” like the NSA providing information on US citizens to Israel, while Israel is conducting targeted assassinations? https://theintercept.com/2019/05/29/israel-drone-strikes-intelligence-nsa/

        Were these ever conspiracy theories or just revealed secret information?
