8 Conspiracy Theories That the Mainstream Media Has Been Forced to Admit Are Actually True

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.

I live by the motto, “Believe nothing until the government officially denies it.”

[Red Badger]

From Brave AI:

Claud Cockburn
British journalist (1904-1981)

The quote “Believe nothing until it has been officially denied” is often attributed to Claud Cockburn, a British journalist who lived from 1904 to 1981. This phrase is widely quoted in journalistic studies, though Cockburn did not claim to have originated it himself.

Cockburn was known for his work in journalism and was involved with the British Communist Party in the 1930s.

BUMP for anyone who might still believe main stream media.

[Libloather]

Brandon took bribes from the chicoms. Maybe add that to the list.

[Jumper]

Justin in Canada, Drama Teacher married older Trans

Macron in France, drama student married older trans

Barrack in AmetiKa married a Trans

[Red Badger]

Brandon took bribes from EVERYBODY!.....................

[Dr. Franklin]

G. H. W. Bush was involved in Operation Paperclip.

[ClearCase_guy]

And note the flip side — Somebody like Randy Weaver can live in an isolated place in Idaho and the government declare him to be a militia that wants to overthrow the government. That would never be labelled as “a conspiracy theory”. It would simply be labelled as “true”.

Likewise, if I say the Moon is made of green cheese, that’s not a conspiracy theory — it’s just “wrong”.

Harmless ideas can be “wrong”.
Ideas which are useful to the government can be “true”.
Ideas that make the government uncomfortable are “conspiracy theories”.

Wait until it’s proven there were 2 shooters at JFKs assignation.

[DownInFlames]

Assassination.

My new favorite response now is, “is the chance zero?” It makes people think about if the government is capable of it and could it happen. Once you say it is possible and it is possible that the government would do it, then it is just a percentage argument.

[sauropod]

bkmk

[Red Badger]

I have always believed that.

Oswald was set up, a patsy.

Same thing happened with MLK assassination.

James Earl Ray was set up, a patsy.

The real killers were FBI/CIA agents or their hired guns...........

Maybe aspartame is not good for you over a period of time, but at age 67, I’m not giving up my daily Diet Coke.

[Bob434]

I hope the press secretary throws this info in the faces of the left everytime the left claim that the right are co spiracy theorists and overreacting to something.

[Fai Mao]

I wouldn’t call operation paperclip a conspiracy theory.

As far as the dumbing down of America, I thought I would never see a movement to jettison college entrance exams like I've seen in the past decade. Whatever else you think about testing, it remains a good indicator of college readiness and basic knowledge skills. People who aren't cut out for academic rigor CANNOT pass them (ACT, SAT, Etc.) That MOST colleges these days have made these "optional," for obvious DEI reasons, is a disturbing sign that a college degree is worth next to nothing, not if just anyone can have one.

This dumbing down has metastasized to infect everything. Career websites now eschew skills testing, when it was once considered a good indicator of a job seeker's strengths. We all know why.
