People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. Welcome to watch Mojo And today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true. What I saw happen to the children of Kuwait went to my country has changed my life forever.

For this list, we'll be looking at the most shocking conspiracies that ended up being true. Some of them were covered up or originally thought to be fiction, but have since been found to be based. In fact, did we forget one of your favorite conspiracy theories? Let us know in the comments below: Nazi Officers tried to kill Hitler Several efforts remains to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the height of World War II Perhaps the most famous one is sometimes known as operation Valkyrie Otherwise referred to as the 20th of July plot. the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler is dead.

A group of radicals in the SS are attempting to seize control of the government initiate operation Valkyrie. Members of the German resistance planned to set off a bomb during Hitler's visitors replace the hidden explosive, but the result failed to kill the Nazi leader. Other part of the plot involved seizing control of the military in the dictator's absence. Despite painstaking attempts to account for every move, the operation was discovered and the co-conspirators were largely executed.

The rest of you are under arrest Viewer: The film Valkyrie brought a renewed interest to the complicated story of the failed plot number 19. The U.S Air Force was developing a gay bomb. How do you slow down an impending Army instead of dropping lethal explosives? The U.S military once considered an unexpected alternative. Researchers considered the possibility of dropping a non-lethal bomb full of pheromone mixture on troops.

Although this idea never reached the battlefield, the theory was that soldiers would be too distracted by each other to keep fighting. That you will not only be disinclined to fight, but you will be compelled to be having sex with the people around you. It's especially clear that authorities were really reaching with this particular idea. Do they really think that like faced with like guns and like being killed, they're really going to choose sex? This isn't to be confused with the theoretical and equally confusing concept of gaydar, which the Canadian authorities hoped would reveal people's sexual preferences all the same.

It's crazy to think that any amount of time was spent working on a gay bomb when the Pentagon says that they rejected this proposal. it's simply not true and we have the facts to demonstrate that they've continued to think about it and to consider it. Number 18 Operation Menu: The Vietnam War affected neighboring nations in Southeast Asia such as Cambodia Northern Vietnamese. Troops used the eastern part of Cambodia for resupplying an encampment during the conflict.

This prompted a bombing campaign from the U.S which targeted Cambodian sites operating along the Vietnamese border from 1969 to 1970. This bombardment leveled much of the area. This action was hugely controversial given the force and destruction Unleashed on the Cambodians, along with the fact that the secret operation was conducted on a non-combatant country. It later inspired Operation Freedom deal, which was an even harsher campaign that cut deeper into the heart of Cambodia.

Details of this scheme were largely revealed in a declassification from the year 2000. They can't impeachment from bombing Cambodia The president can bomb anybody who likes. That's true. Number 17: The U.S worked with former Nazi scientists even though the Allies won the war and put many Nazi war criminals on trial.

That didn't stop the U.S from hiring German scientists. These experts were later integral in the development of the U.S space program and other military improvements during the Cold War. Many of them had close ties and allegiance to the Nazis, making this entire operation all the more controversial. There was on the one hand, the truth about the program kept secret, and on the other hand, the idea that we'll tell the public that these are the good.

Germans The Soviet Union also conducted a similar operation in attempts to bolster their post-war staying power. One of the recruits for the American side, Werner Von Braun is considered among the more important figures in modern rocketry and early space travel. Sometimes celebrating their achievements, the authorities also largely disregarded many of the subject's connections to atrocities. Number 16: The Business Plot Coupe Known as the business Plot.

this little-known conspiracy wanted to bring down the presidency of Franklin D Roosevelt Although though this wasn't nefarious coup plot, the case didn't come to light until the testimony of retired General Smedley Butler Butler asserted that he was asked the 32nd President of the United States partly due to his support of veterans groups. To form an organization of veterans uses a bluff or as a club, at least to intimidate the government and break down our Democratic institution. Even with the General's Revelations, some people questioned the veracity of certain details and the extent of the planning that took place. George H.W Bush's father Prescott Push has been linked to the plot, but it's still unconfirmed as to his ultimate involvement.

David O Russell's film Amsterdam is just one project that fictionalizes the events surrounding the scheme. they're paying you to be their mouthpiece. That's right, exactly. and they know the veterans will follow Number 15 faked.

Gulf War Testimony: What I saw happens sorry dude. I stalked the fridge full of Cokes and I've put the I put the Box sideways so I open to get a Coke and they just all roll out man. bang bang bang bang bang bang like oh man to my country has changed my life forever. The Gulf War was a brief but notable conflict preempted by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.

The U.S intervened soon after, using a number of stories to support the decision, including the testimony of a teenager withdraw from Kuwait or face a coalition ready and willing to employ all means necessary. she was known as Naira and her account of babies being removed from incubators in Kuwait shocked and helped sell the war to American citizens took to die on the cold floor. All right, that was horrifying. It became a much quoted story for President George H.W Bush and other proponents of military action later revealed to be falsified.

Naira was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States. She not only didn't see any crimes firsthand, but many details were generated by a PR firm. The case has become infamous as a deeply flawed attempt to sell the war. I'm glad I'm 15 old enough to remember Kuwait before, so Davison destroyed it and young enough to rebuild it.

number 14. Tuskegee Study: They were never told that they had the disease. One of the most horrifying chapters in American medical history came out of the Tuskegee Institute In Alabama, a research study offered black men free health care in exchange for a secretive and unethical observation withholding syphilis diagnoses from participating members. Researchers from health organizations such as the U.S Public Health Service attempted to study the effects of untreated syphilis without out treating the patients.

Knowing that you were denied treatment and that you were lied to would affect anybody. This also came at a time when penicillin was becoming a widely confirmed. Jesus found the sufferers of the disease and for the sake of science, they sacrificed some human beings and it raised the question. Did they really believe these men were human beings? Not Only was it a complete travesty perpetrated by the medical community, but it created a genuine distrust of the Health Care System among many people in the African-American Community.

What the United States government did was shameful and I am sorry number 13 Operation Condor At this point, it's well known that the CIA had a large-scale and destructive influence on South American Politics Operation Condor was one such plan that completely altered the landscape of countries such as Argentina and Chile by propping up dictators like Augusto. Pinochet The U.S helped finance coups of various leaders across the continent. The actions that were supported by American intelligence groups created irreversible damage in these nations and thousands were killed. President Clinton eventually.

Declassified More information about the operation and its effects, bringing forth new details about the plans to delegitimize left-leaning political movements in the region decades since. Operation Condor its lasting impact is still felt in the country's effects. Number 12 Bohemian Grove Rumors have always swirled about secret societies and country clubs where Elites meet up to discuss world affairs. In the case of Bohemian Grove, this accusation is at least partly true.

Many of the most powerful and influential American figures of the 20th century met at the California Club. The place was reserved for people like Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon along with a list of businessmen and even Nobel laureates. Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan had a talk there about who was going to run for president first and obviously Richard Nixon won That while one of their precepts involves leading world affairs at the door, there's no shortage of evidence to the contrary. It was also the site of a meeting regarding the Manhattan Project.

The Manhattan Project was conceived at the Grove in 1942. the Manhattan Project of course, is what led to the atom bomb. The presence of many U.S presidents provokes even more gossip about the other conversations that took place there. number 11.

The FBI spied on John Lennon after us because we we talk about peace. You know I mean when John Lennon moved to the U.S in the 70s, he became a Target the moment Outspoken political beliefs were already controversial and some U.S leaders worried that he would influence the next election. With stories swirling about Lenin's possible tour, which was an apparent attempts to recruit young liberal voters, J Edgar Hoover put the musician under close watch. Not only that, well, just and we'll give them a massive Advantage Okay, in weaponry, would you want to be the one to be first or second? I mean yo? I mean I'm saying it's science No.

Ended up winning the 1972 election, but the attempts to kick the singer out of the country continued until the Court ruling in 1975.. when we approached people for help somebody somewhere Rings them up and says these people are criminals Unsurprisingly, this wasn't the first or last person hounded by the FBI as their co-intel program spied on many citizens and political groups. secret FBI memos made public Today Show that the late J Edgar Hoover ordered a nationwide campaign to disrupt the activities of the new Left without telling any of his superiors about it. Number 10.

Big Tobacco's Big Lie: There's extensive use of this technology, which is called ammonia chemistry that allows for nicotine to be more rapidly absorbed in the lungs and therefore affect the brain and central nervous system. Smoking causes lung cancer and a lot of other adverse health effects. Scientists demonstrated this definitively in the 1950s. However, public opinion wavered for decades, with sources springing up to generate controversy and debate.

Some suspected that the tobacco industry was suppressing and distorting the facts through a coordinated campaign, but who thought that that inhaling smoke was good for them? Somehow I mean broke. They came out that they were together the world's largest initiated operation Berkshire to generate fake controversy and debate. Big Tobacco knew that smoking caused cancer and that nicotine was addictive. They decided not to make cigarettes less harmful because addiction made them a lot of money.

Now, the work we did here is confidential. Not for public scrutiny any more than Owen's Family Matters Threatening my family now too. just goes to show where there's smoke, there's often fire. See how camels agree with your throat? See how mild and good tasting a cigarette can be? Number nine: The FBI spied on political activist groups.

Those involved in political protests and other activist causes are often paranoid that they're being watched. and they should be because it's happened before and it can happen again. Tapes from the hotel rooms FBI Reports those are pieces of information that we shouldn't have. From the late 50s to the early 70s, the FBI engaged in illegal surveillance, infiltration, and disruption of protest movements and other organizations deemed subversive.

He realized how sick this country was. We were trying to reveal the truth about segregation. These ranged from Independence movements to civil rights movements to feminist organizations. They even had John Lennon the former Beatles front man under watch.

While this program named Cointelpro was abolished in 1971, others may have taken its place. So what does a Bed Piece represents? the darkest part of the bureau's history? Number eight: The first female U.S president. While the United States has yet to elect a woman to the office of President by Electoral College Anyway, some theorize that a woman has assumed the duties of the office already in 1919. President Woodrow Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke.

This left him bedridden and partially paralyzed with some impaired judgment. If I don't be president, what a kind of wife am I What? Wilson's wife Edith aided him in governing the country to the point where she was basically performing his job in all but name. The degree of her involvement was kept a close secret and Wilson herself denied that she made executive decisions until her death. So he's like sitting there and they like move his arm and then they just release that to the press and that's how dumb people were back then Number seven through the World Series.

The Chicago White Sox are on record for having one of the longest droughts between winning World Series at 87 years. However, they weren't always known for their bad luck back in the late 1910s. the Sox won in 1917 and they even had a Wonder like Shoeless Joe Jackson on the team. Yet rumors during the 1919 Series held that the games were fixed the White Sox lost the Series, but the rumors persisted into the next year.

Eventually, a grand jury found evidence that eight players, including Jackson though his role is disputed, were involved in a conspiracy to receive money in exchange for throwing the series. I Think the Black Sox players saw a high reward for what they were doing. They could make as much as their yearly salary in one week for fixing the World Series While a trial found them not guilty, they were nevertheless banned from the league permanently. Number Six Roswell Cover-up in the summer of 1947.

Object crashed down to earth in Roswell New Mexico Theories that it was an alien spacecraft had pervaded pop culture for over a half a century. Since that Roswell was the first sighting of a UFO in the United States and that bull. Roar The U.S Air Force claimed that the object was merely a weather balloon only added fuel to the fire. And the conspiracy theorists were right four months ago was that shot when we had the water balloons was no weather believable and there was a cover-up but it wasn't an alien ship either.

Probably the object was a high altitude balloon launched as part of project Mogul. These balloons were intended to detect sound waves from Soviet atomic bomb tests during the Cold War The U.S military couldn't exactly be honest about that in the papers. Now whether you think that's another cover story, Well, number Five scientologists infiltrated the US government. It's fine that they would be lying to the people because of that.

I Think it's the light. it doesn't affect anybody I Think it's a lie that doesn't really do anything to anybody. like who cares what was flying there like I Don't I don't give up The Church of Scientology is infamously touchy about any criticism of their organization. I didn't mean anything by it I don't even know how to run.

They are influence over celebrities is well known, but theories about their influence over the government are also out there. And here's the thing: Scientologists really did infiltrate the government. In the 1970s. at least 5 000 members of the organization conducted Espionage on government agencies and private organizations and this wasn't a fringe element either.

The Founder's wife Mary Sue Hubbard pleaded guilty and went to prison. It was one of the largest scale infiltrations of the US government in history. 5 000 of this was done with the aim of destroying evidence that painted Scientology in an unfavorable light. What arguably had quite dude infiltrate to these guys Azure succeed Five thousands boys.

Now this says that were dog that Holy dude. What the boy. No scientologists. They could be pretty sensitive.

Number four: The Watergate Scandal. Absolutely the most well-known political conspiracy of all time. The Watergate scandal was Unthinkable when it occurred because people have got to know whether or not they're president's a crook. The Scandal began when Republican president Richard Nixon's Administration illegally wiretapped and broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters.

We don't know who ordered the burglary and we don't really know what the burglars were up to that night. Their aim was to acquire information about Nixon's opposition in the forthcoming election, the arrest of the perpetrators LED to attempts by Nixon and his administration to cover up their involvement, building evidence and leaks soon exploded into a scandal that has become a byword for political disgrace leading to Nixon's resignation. One of the things that's so hard to recreate and understand. Now looking back is there was no sense that the President could lie to the American people.

Things have changed Garrett Things have changed today. Number three: the government is spying on you. You come in refrain for cranks and conspiracy nuts. For decades has been that the government is watching our every move.

and it's not completely wrong. With the rise of smartphones and the Internet. the government has unprecedented access to information on its citizens. They're following us.

In the wake of 9 11, The Bush Administration initiated far-reaching Mass surveillance programs both foreign and domestic. The Nsa's activities in the years since have included sucking up and storing online history, emails, metadata, text messages, you name it Edward Snowden revealed a lot of this info with his leaks, including how other governments were also implicated even if you sounded somebody within the United States Your holy domestic communication between you and your wife can go from New York to London and back and get caught up in the database. Few believe that in the time since governments have just given up number Two false justification of War Oh no way. Yeah, no wait, that would happen.

Fired a warning shot as three North Vietnamese torpedo boats approached the Gulf of Tonkin. After the torpedo boats opened fire, the Maddox sank all three. Two days later, the report of a second attack known as the Gulf of Tonkin incident prompted president Lyndon B Johnson to authorize further military action in Vietnam. For years, people questioned this justification.

At one point, the commander of the ship said we're not certain of the attack. Another point, they said yes, we're absolutely positive And then finally, late in the day Admiral Sharp said yes, we're certain it happened. He was eventually revealed that the second attack was imaginary based on wrongly interpretated Communications intercepts. It wasn't the last dubious rationale for War as we already mentioned in 1990.

George H.W Bush leveraged false testimony crafted by a public relations firm to initiate the Gulf War Over a decade later, his son would falsely claim that Iraq possessed Wmds to justify an invasion. The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder.

The the idea of a government agency trying to control people's minds might sound like science fiction, but it really happened. Prostitutes with lower men to these apartments and then once the men notifications.

So yeah, Number one, the CIA conducted mind control experiments. The idea of a government agency trying to control people's minds might sound like science fiction, but it really happened. Prostitutes with lower men to these apartments and then once the men were in the apartments, they were dosed with LSD and then they were basically studied by CIA Sciences In the 1970s, a commission on the Cia's activities of Project MK Ultra a secret program that used drugs and torture to manipulate its victims mental. States This Kool-Aid was spiked with LSD It was horrible.

These experiments were conducted on prisoners in secret detention centers around the world as well as Americans. That is way scarier than just like taking a drug itself as if no idea it's coming and you get clapped in the no and you think bro. I think I'm just I'm just bugging bro I think I'm just bugging out universities, hospitals, and prisons. The day that my father was brought to the hospital, they immediately put him on insulin.

Um, to put him into like an insulin coma. The CIA also funded brutal experiments involving electroconvulsive therapy for Montreal Canada victims of MK Ultra included Ken Keezy and Alan Ginsburg. It's one of the darkest conspiracies out there and we still don't know the full extent of it. Did you enjoy this video?
