- Well, if you weren't
paranoid before this video, sorry in advance. So personally, I've always been a big fan of conspiracy theories. Mainly because I feel like they get people to think critically and also challenge the
things that we're told that we're supposed to believe. When you think of conspiracy theorists, you probably think of those
crazy guys with the tin hats, but surprisingly, there are
a lot of conspiracy theories out there that sounded crazy at the time but were eventually proven to be true. So I gathered the most famous
ones to share with you guys. So here they are, 10 conspiracy theories
that turned out to be true. Number one is the fascist conspiracy. In 1933, a group of wealthy businessmen tried to install a fascist dictatorship in the United States. What's most disturbing
is that the men involved were heads of organizations and families that still exist today, including Chase Bank, GM,
Goodyear, Standard Oil, the Dupont family, and
even Senator Prescott Bush. Yeah, Prescott Bush,
father of George H. Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush. Well, it's a good thing
that they didn't succeed and that the corruption of oil companies, banks, and the Bush family ended there. Yeah, that's sarcasm. Number two is the Guy Fawkes Conspiracy. You've probably seen the Guy Fawkes mask from "V for Vendetta", same guy. In 1604, a group of Britons,
including Guy Fawkes, were tired of King James' rule and conspired to blow up Parliament. They filled the room below
Parliament with explosives, and they probably would
have gotten away with it, had one member of the conspiracy group not sent a letter to a politician talking about hypothetically
blowing up Parliament. That conspirator wasn't
seriously dumb enough to think that nothing would happen over sending a letter like that, was he? That's like me saying, hypothetically, I just pissed in your Cheerios. You gonna have a big old bite? Exactly. Number 3 is the MK-Ultra Conspiracy. In the 1950s and 70s, the CIA attempted a series of experiments involving mind control
called project MK Ultra. In an attempt to try to figure out how to control the minds
of Communist spies, they began probing and
injecting psychedelic drugs into unwitting citizens
of the United States. This resulted in people becoming sick, slipping into permanent comas, and even deaths. Luckily, as far as anybody knows, they did not succeed. Or at least that's what
I'm supposed to say. Number four is the Tuskegee
Syphilis Conspiracy. Between 1932 and 1972, the United States government conducted an experiment called "The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment". They experimented using
spinal taps exclusively on very poor and mostly
illiterate African-American males without their consent. This went on for 40 years before somebody finally blew the whistle on it, which resulted in the
National Research Act, which prevents barbaric
experiments like this from being performed. Of course, instead of getting rid of these mad scientists, they kept them around and put them to work as health advisors to the President. Shoutout to Obamacare. Number five is the 1919
World Series Conspiracy. In 1919, eight players
from the Chicago White Sox threw a World Series game
against the Cincinnati Reds, in the most famous scandal
in baseball history. Interestingly, they were
never charged with anything since throwing a game is
technically not a crime, but they were banned from
the league a year later when it was discovered. Ths is only the most
famous example, though. There have been literally
thousands of cases of players that have
conspired to throw games. This is the type of thing that you better make sure you're getting
paid really well for, or at least enough to
cover your medical bills when the bookies come looking for you to cover the bets they had to pay out. Number six is the Snow White Conspiracy. In the 1970s, the Church of Scientology perpetrated the largest infiltration of the US government in history, called Operation Snow White. Their goal was to destroy every document that made them look bad, and ultimately over 5000
Scientologists were successful in wire-tapping and
burglarizing 136 organizations, agencies, and foreign embassies. Damn, Scientology! You scary! First you infiltrate
government, then Hollywood? What's next, fast food joints? Don't you be putting no placentas in my chicken nuggets, man. Damn. Number seven in the Illuminati Conspiracy. One of the most famous conspiracies talked about today in popular culture are the Illuminati. Although thought to be a myth by some, the Order of the Illuminati were a very powerful organization
that did, in fact, once exist. Founded in 1776, the official story is that they've either been
disbanded or destroyed, but some people believe
they still exist today. And not only that, but some people believe that they control half
of the world's wealth through the Rothschild Dynasty, and that they're the ones
behind many major world events. But I really doubt this. I mean, if they really were everywhere, I think we would notice. Crap. Number eight is the CIA
Drug Running Conspiracy. In the 1980s, the CIA directly aided Nicaraguan drug traffickers
who were selling cocaine in Los Angeles, and used the money to fund Nicaraguan contras. Known as the "Dark Alliance",
this wasn't discovered until about a decade later in 1996. Damn a whole decade! The CIA must be pretty good at keeping people quiet. Speaking of the CIA, I just got some inside information about how they are doing things that nobody knows-- (beep) and that is happening right now! Spread the word! Number nine is the Operation
Valkyrie Conspiracy. Near the end of World War 2, when it became clear that Nazi Germany was in a losing fight, a group of Nazi traitors
conspired to assassinate Hitler. Unfortunately, one conspirator decided that he would do it himself, and exploded a bomb in
Hitler's conference room. Except, surprisingly, Hitler survived with only minor injuries. Because of this, Operation
Valkyrie never went into effect, and all the conspirators were killed. I mean, luckily Nazi
German still lost the war, but damn, people! If you have a plan that's that big, make sure you work together! Teamwork makes the dream work! And finally, number 10, the
Bohemian Grove Conspiracy. For years, conspiracy theorists have said that the world's richest
and most powerful men have met once a year, in the woods to worship a giant owl. And, as it turns out, it's true. Located in California, there's an exclusive men's only club called the Bohemian Club, which hosts a yearly gathering of the most powerful men in the world. It's incredibly secretive, and nobody really knows what goes on during the two-to-three week gathering. Did I mention that they have rituals that take place in front of a shrine of a giant owl. Like, I get that the owl represents wisdom and knowledge, but couldn't they have chosen a more manly mascot for an all-men's club, like, I don't know, an old-time boxer, or Chuck Norris, or a giant mustache? Just sayin'. And that's it for this time, guys. If you enjoyed this video, you should definitely check out my friends at All Time Conspiracies. They make some really, really cool videos about conspiracies that
will just blow your mind. So I'll put a link to their channel in the description below. And I'll also put some links to some of my favorite
conspiracy documentaries, which are called "Zietgest"
and "Loose Change". Some of you may have
already heard about them, but they're awesome and
they're free to watch online, so I'll put the links to those in the description as well. And so other than that, I'll see you guys next Saturday with a brand new video. Peace. (techno beeping) (beep) Hey guys, thanks for
