The mainstream media is in the habit of labeling something a “conspiracy theory” whenever they are attempting to discredit a particular point of view. Of course such “conspiracy theories” have been proven to actually be true time after time. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has been caught in lie after lie in recent years. As a result, trust in the media is the lowest that it has ever been in the entire history of our country. At this point, most people realize that our largest media outlets are going to push the agenda of the globalists that own them, and they are going to be extremely hesitant to expose the big pharmaceutical companies and other giant corporations that spend billions of dollars to advertise on their networks.
The good news is that we have entered a period of time when the truth is coming out about so many things. The American people are now demanding transparency and accountability from major institutions throughout our society, and that is a wonderful thing. It is especially gratifying to see the mainstream media publicly admit mistakes that they have made. The following are 8 “conspiracy theories” that the mainstream media has been forced to admit are actually true…
#1 The Lab Leak Theory
For years, we were told that the lab leak theory was just “disinformation”. Of course now it has come out that certain individuals in very prominent positions waged a relentless campaign to discredit it. They were desperate to keep a lid on what really happened, but now the truth has come out. In fact, at this point even the CIA is publicly admitting that it is more likely than not that the lab leak theory is accurate…
The CIA has shifted its stance about the origin of the virus that causes Covid-19, NBC News reported on Saturday. The intelligence agency now believes that the coronavirus escaped from a Chinese lab, a shift from its previous stance, in which it did not take a position.
“CIA assesses with low confidence that a research-related origin of the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely than a natural origin based on the available body of reporting,” a CIA spokesperson said in a statement to NBC News.
#2 MKUltra
For decades, anyone that went on the air and talked about MKUltra was considered to be a nut.
But now hundreds of government documents prove that this CIA mind control program really did exist…
Newly compiled records are spilling the beans on one of the CIA’s most notorious and shadowy programs: MKUltra, a wild attempt to develop mind control techniques through drugs, hypnosis, and psychological manipulation.
The collection was published by the Digital National Security Archive of The George Washington University in December 2024, detailing more than 1,200 documents on the CIA’s foray into behavioral and mind control experiments from 1953 until the 1970s.
Much of the information comes from records gathered by John Marks, a former State Department official who initiated the first Freedom of Information Act requests on the topic and authored the 1979 book The Search for the Manchurian Candidate.
We are actually very fortunate that these documents still exist, because in 1973 the director of the CIA specifically ordered that all records related to MKUltra must be destroyed…
In 1973, the director of the CIA, Richard Helms, ordered that all documents related to MKUltra be destroyed. However, a cache documents was discovered following a freedom of information request in 1977, which led to Senate hearings. MKUltra was declassified in 2001.
#3 Fluoride In Our Drinking Water Is Bad
For ages, authorities insisted that putting fluoride in our drinking water was good for us. But now a federal judge has ruled that there is evidence that fluoride in the water could harm the intellectual development of our children. The following comes from CNN…
A federal judge has ordered the US Environmental Protection Agency to further regulate fluoride in drinking water because high levels could pose a risk to the intellectual development of children.
US District Judge Edward Chen cautioned that it’s not certain that the amount of fluoride typically added to water is causing lower IQ in kids, but he concluded that mounting research points to an unreasonable risk that it could be. He ordered the EPA to take steps to lower that risk, but didn’t say what those measures should be.
#4 There Are Cancer Causing Chemicals In Our Drinking Water
Over the past several years, the mainstream media has actually begun reporting on all of the nasty things that are showing up in the water that is coming out of our taps.
In fact, a study that was conducted in 2019 actually found 22 separate carcinogens in our drinking water…
* Increased cancer risks were linked to 22 carcinogens found in the drinking water.
* Contaminants included arsenic; radioactive materials, such as uranium and radium; and disinfectant byproducts, which are substances produced when chlorine and other additives are used in the treatment process.
* Systems that rely on groundwater sources, such as aquifers, have higher concentrations of arsenic and radioactive materials and contribute to a higher risk of cancer.
* Systems that rely on surface water sources, such as reservoirs, have a lower risk, but serve larger populations.
* Water systems where droughts are more common may pose a higher risk, in part because drier conditions create an environment where contaminants become concentrated as water levels are reduced.
#5 The “Dumbing Down” Of America
For a lot of years, many of us in the alternative media have been talking about the “dumbing down” of America, but the mainstream media has continued to defend our system of education.
Unfortunately, it has become exceedingly clear that our kids are not alright. The following comes from the Wall Street Journal…
The reading skills of American students are deteriorating further, according to new national test scores that show no improvement in a years-long slide.
The 67% of eighth-graders who scored at a basic or better reading level in 2024 was the lowest share since testing began in 1992, results from a closely watched federal exam show. Only 60% of fourth-graders hit that benchmark, nearing record lows.
The declines started before the pandemic, continued during it, and have persisted since.
#6 Prescription Drugs Kill Large Numbers Of Americans Every Single Year
For decades, alternative health practitioners and “conspiracy theorists” have been asserting that negative reactions to prescription drugs are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Thankfully, the mainstream media has been forced to admit this as well. The following comes from a Vanity Fair article entitled “Deadly Medicine“…
Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that number go up, now that most clinical trials are conducted overseas—on sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chinese—in places where regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesn’t reach, and “mistakes” can end up in pauper’s graves?
#7 Aspartame Is Not Good For Our Health
Many of us have been warning about aspartame for ages, but the mainstream media just kept defending it. Well, after reviewing the evidence the International Agency for Research on Cancer was forced to classify aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”…
Assessments of the health impacts of the non-sugar sweetener aspartame are released today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). Citing “limited evidence” for carcinogenicity in humans, IARC classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 2B) and JECFA reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake of 40 mg/kg body weight.
#8 Operation Paperclip
Did you know that hundreds of Nazi scientists were smuggled out of Germany and brought to the United States in the aftermath of World War II?
And did you know that many of those scientists were used “to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons”?…
As World War II was entering its final stages, American and British organizations teamed up to scour occupied Germany for as much military, scientific and technological development research as they could uncover.
Trailing behind Allied combat troops, groups such as the Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (CIOS) began confiscating war-related documents and materials and interrogating scientists as German research facilities were seized by Allied forces. One enlightening discovery—recovered from a toilet at Bonn University—was the Osenberg List: a catalogue of scientists and engineers that had been put to work for the Third Reich.
In a covert affair originally dubbed Operation Overcast but later renamed Operation Paperclip, roughly 1,600 of these German scientists (along with their families) were brought to the United States to work on America’s behalf during the Cold War. The program was run by the newly-formed Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), whose goal was to harness German intellectual resources to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons, and to ensure such coveted information did not fall into the hands of the Soviet Union.
I could list many other examples, but I think that you probably get my point by now.
Just because something is labeled a “conspiracy theory” does not mean that you can automatically dismiss it.
In fact, many of those that love to accuse others of spreading “disinformation” are some of the biggest liars of all.
In this day and age, it is so important to think for yourself and it is so important to know why you believe what you believe.
Let me give you a piece of advice that really helped me.
Question everything.
Hold on to what is true, and discard what is false.
We live at a time when deception is running rampant, and it is getting worse with each passing day.
And Microsoft has an AI program that wants to write your emails for you. I’m guessing that is because most Gen Zs can’t put a sentence together.
Werner Von Braun was a well know, celebrated entity in 1950-60s America. None of that was hidden.

We’re also on a well. Thankfully, no need for RO (Reverse Osmosis).
We’ve had our well water tested, numerous times over the years...and, thankfully, always comes back with excellent passing grades.
However, we have an elderly family member who is on “city”/MUD water....that is now rated INFERIOR!! They even advise against drinking, for immunocompromised, etc.
They recently installed an RO system, after years of purchasing bottled water (in plastic bottles 😔). Their neighbors who’ve done the same have received great testing scores, post RO.
Not sure why you wouldn’t be able to use RO for your well water, dr Steve.
I don't think anyone ever claimed it was good for your health, though it's much better than drinking all that high fructose corn syrup in regular soda.
It is pretty much harmless. It's just a regular amino acid which yeah when it breaks down one of its by-products is methanol, but big deal, it's only in trace amounts and your body already has a few dozen other processes that also create way more methanol as a by-product.
So our bodies already have a natural concentration of methanol present in our system. The trace amounts added by drinking Diet Soda don't significantly add to it and our livers are more than capable of handling.
RFK better not touch my Diet Soda
I switched to sparkling water to get off of drinking sodas.
I remember when Diet Sodas actually tasted good, no aftertaste and no calories.
BRING BACK CYCLAMATES!......................
There's about 200mg in a 12 ounce Diet Coke, so the quoted safe limit is 13 cans per day for a 150 pound person.
That’s a can an hour!..........
I know you immediately corrected it, but I thought of JFK, RFK and Marilyn Monroe.
And did you know that many of those scientists were used “to help develop America’s arsenal of rockets and other biological and chemical weapons”?…
The moon landing was widely stated to be our Germans beating the Soviets' Germans. Just imagine if von Braun ended up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain.
What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth?
6 months.
Both are likely correct...
Thanks.
