We all know the old trope of the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist who believes crazy things like "the government is spying on us" and "the military is spraying things in the sky" and "the CIA ships in the drugs."

Except those things aren't so crazy after all.

Here are five examples of things that were once derided as zany conspiracy paranoia
and are now accepted as mundane historical fact.

We all know the old trope of the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist who believes crazy things like "the government is spying on us" and "the military is spraying things in the sky" and "the CIA ships in the drugs."

Except those things aren't so crazy after all.

well, some are certainly crazy. Some have a foundation in truth. Some aren't even considered conspiracy theories, but people sensitive about some of their theories often include well-understood malfeasances in the same group. So, for example, QAnon's child cannibalism charges aren't made more plausible by the Tuskegee experiments. The CIA installation of the Shah doesn't mean that Jade Helm was real.

For example, 'spraying things in the sky' is not a complete statement of a conspiracy theory. Only Pollyanna believes the government would never do anything that could be described as 'spraying from the sky'. They've often done things that risk our health. It's well accepted that they marched soldiers out to get irradiated by nuclear tests, for example. So pointing out previous misbehaviors isn't a defense of the current crop of crazy. It's the inflated, unquestioningly accepted claims that distinguish a conspiracy theory, not the charges that there's something unethical or dangerous going on.

funny.

according to this ersatz 'fact-check' site, among the "least biased" is the Council on Foreign Relations, Defense News and Military Times. If you like your world steering with those and their ilk as the ultimate arbiters of truth, peace and freedom - then, right, your world would certainly not want to be upset with the revelations of James Corbett.
