00:00 Here are 4 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true.
00:02 Number 4, NSA spying on the American people.
00:05 In 2013, Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA was collecting massive amounts of phone and internet data on the world's communications,
00:11 thus giving rise to all the conspiracy theorists of the time.
00:13 Number 3, MKUltra.
00:14 It was a real and declassified CIA program that aimed to develop mental control and create dormant agents by experimenting on real people,
00:21 generally without their consent.
00:22 They experimented mainly with drugs like LSD or hypnosis,
00:25 and their effect on the human mind to see if they could invent a kind of serum of truth.
00:29 They also tried to turn cats and dolphins into weapons.
00:31 Number 2, the sabotage of the Civil Rights Movement.
00:34 This FBI counter-espionage program was a series of secret and illegal actions taken by the FBI
00:38 to disrupt the fight of African Americans to obtain equality in the United States.
00:42 The methods included the surveillance of activists, the disclosure of negative personal information,
00:46 and the infiltration of agents causing racial tensions and confrontations with the police, which led to massive arrests.
00:51 Number 1, Operation Northwood.
00:53 It was a real plan proposed and declassified by the United States
00:55 to stage a terrorist attack on American soil in order to justify an intervention in Cuba.
00:59 It was never realized, but it was nevertheless revealed decades later in declassified documents.
