Has any good conspiracy theories proven to be true?

Yeah. the one about convincing us men that we look intelligent in a tux.lol

Why is it that anyone could believe any of the conspiracy theories out there? I get that people here aren't structural engineers, but let me give you an example...  Did you know that a bulletproof vest capable of stopping the largest pistol rounds you could stab a knife right through? That a fast moving small round like a 22 is more likely to penetrate than a slow moving big round like a 45? The science on the building failures & fire progression is excellent & very understandable. \n\nAs to some CIA conspiracy… you know most CIA employees are democrats? And even so, there is no way they’d allow an attack on Americans for political reasons. That’s insane! Not to mention what political gain came from the 9/11? If the President wanted to attack Bin Laden, there had been an attack on the USS Cole just months before he took office. Iraq you think? We justified that with WMD violations of UN sanctions, and the world didn’t follow us in there even with 9/11. We could have done the same thing if 9/11 had never occurred. \n\nYou can disagree with what the President has done since 9/11, but if you think he needed that horrific attack to justify the military action we’ve taken since then, you’re wrong. I also love how the same people that say Bush conducted this insanely complicated plot, are also the ones that say he is dumber than a rock. Wouldn’t he have to be an evil genius far smarter than any of us? There were theories back in WWII that FDR (a democrat) knew in advance & allowed the attack on Pearl Harbor so he could take us into the war, or more sinisterly so the military industrial complex could get rich putting Americans to work after a depression. That was stupid & insulting to the people who died then, just as these conspiracies are stupid now. As long as people continue to be so disconnected from reality they’ll continue to hand elections to conservatives.

Yes.  There's evidence for it, and no evidence against it that actually makes sense.

Yes i do believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy!! People who say otherwise are just in denial or are too afraid to dig up dirt regarding the evidence which definitely pinpoints at the US government!! \n\nTo those people just visit this website and watch the video!\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6545313046180631815&q=contrary+9%2F11&pl=true\n\nI know you'll believe it was a conspiracy after you watch this!

Most are false, including all the ones you suggested.\n\nKenedy is the most 'grey' because, while Oswald shot Kenedy, we don't know who (if anyone) he was working for.\n\nMan definitely landed on the moon.  Period.\n\nKatrina disaster could've been lessened if some of the 'must renforce stuff' people were listened to.  That being said, however, neglegence does not equal a conspiracy to kill people.

Of course not.  There is no evidence what so ever to support this fact.  One conspiracy theory I've heard is that in the photo of the moon landing, you can see a prop marked with the letter C in the foreground.  According to proponents of this theory, the C is the type of mark used in theatre to organize props.\n\nUnfortunately, the so called c is obviously just a shadow on a rock.  And in prop work, the props are not marked with letters.\n\nThe moon landing was an important event in US history from a Cold War satnpoint.  At this period, the US and the USSR were competing in many arenas, of which the space program was just one.  Faking the moon landing would never have worked.  The USSR would not have fallen for it.\n\nAlso, about the flag "waving:"  The flag on the moon is made of metal formed into the shape of a moving flag.  It does not move, it simply appears to stand up as in wind.

Boy did you open a can of worms!\n\nThe Kennedy assassination is one of the favorite of conspiracy theorist (notice I did not say nut cases).  The theories range from LBJ (totally assinine) to the Mafia (more belivable).  They also include Cubans (espcially with Oswalds connections), the CIA (no one ever asked why, they just say the CIA did it), to just some nutcase (it may be true, but can you prove it).\n\nThe real reason will probably never be discovered, but as long as people ask questions, that will be one that will be asked.

Plenty of evidence! \n\nHere's a good place to "start" :

AS A HUGE FAN OF ESPIONAGE AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES, I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY YES. AS FOR FAR-FETCHED CRAP LIKE ALIENS AND STUFF, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

It wasn't faked. I agree, the technology involved was bare bones but still capable. Here are some quotes that help counter some of the conspiracy theories:\n\nIn some photos, the crosshairs appear to be behind objects, rather than in front of them where they should be, as if the photos were altered.\n\n        * In photography, the light white color (the object behind the crosshair) makes the black object (the crosshair) invisible due to saturation effects in the film emulsion. The film particles that ought to have been black were exposed by light from the adjacent brightly lit particles. Ironically, this saturation effect would not happen if the crosshairs were drawn on in post, and so is evidence of genuine photos. Attempting to alter photos that already have crosshairs would make the compositing process far more difficult.\n\nThe quality of the photographs is implausibly high.\n\n        * The astronauts were trained in the use of their gear, and shots and poses were planned in advance as part of the mission. NASA selected only the best photographs for release to the public, and some of the photos were cropped to improve their composition. There are many badly exposed, badly focused and poorly composed images amongst the thousands of photos that were taken by the Apollo Astronauts. Many can be seen at the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal. Photos were taken on high-quality Hasselblad cameras with Zeiss lenses, using 70 mm medium format film.\n\nThere are no stars in any of the photos, and astronauts never report seeing any stars from the capsule windows. \n\n         *Stars are also never seen in Space Shuttle, Mir, International Space Station Earth observation photos, or even sporting events that take place at night. The sun in the Earth/Moon area shines as brightly as on a clear noon day on Earth, so cameras used for imaging these things are set for daylight exposure, with quick shutter speeds in order to prevent overexposing the film. The dim light of the stars simply does not have a chance to expose the film.\n\nhe color and angle of shadows and light are inconsistent.\n\n        * Shadows on the Moon are complicated because there are several light sources: the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon itself. \n\n The Moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.\n\n        * There is no atmosphere to efficiently couple lunar surface heat to devices such as cameras not in direct contact with it. In a vacuum, only radiation remains as a heat transfer mechanism. \n\nThe launch rocket produced no visible flame.\n\n        * Hydrazine (a fuel) and dinitrogen tetroxide (an oxidizer) were the Lunar Module propellants, chosen for their reliability; they ignite hypergolically –upon contact– without a spark. Hypergolic propellants happen to produce a nearly transparent exhaust. Hypergolic fuels are also used by several space launchers: the core of the American Titan, the Russian Proton, the European Ariane 1 through 4 and the Chinese Long March, and the transparency of their plumes is apparent in many launch photos.\n\nThe flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon.\n\n        * The astronauts were moving the flag into position, causing motion. Since there is no air on the Moon to provide friction, these movements caused a long-lasting undulating movement seen in the flag. There was a rod extending from the top of the flagpole to hold the flag out for proper display. The fabric's rippled appearance was due to its having been folded during flight and gave it an appearance which could be mistaken for motion in a still photograph.\n\nThese are only a few quotes. They all seem much more convincing then the arguments the conspiracy theorists present.

theoretically that is believed to be true
1084386
Yes.  I work in politics (as a legislative aide) and I believe there are conspiracies going on at many levels of government.  In the course of my work I have witnessed a government that is corrupt and riddled with conspiracies ... I even get emails inviting me to the secret meetings (I'm being totally honest here), but I don't go as I don't want to be involved in it.\n\nHere is a good article about conspiracy:\nhttp://www.thenewamerican.com/artman/publish/article_125.shtml

People who start, believe in or foster conspiracy theories are dopes!\n\nWhy not use your brainpower to follow an original and constructive line of thought?

no, it is absolutely factual.  people who are Bush supporters will try to convince themselves it is fake, but they know it is true.

This link is interesting which says that there is no conspiracy!!\n\nhttp://www.netalive.org/topics/36595
