10+ Conspiracy Theories That Turned Out to be True

Some people have long claimed the U.S. military would fake an attack on its own people just to start a war. It sounded like something out of a spy movie. Surely no top general would ever sign off on a plan like that?

Declassified papers released in 1997 showed that in 1962, America’s top military leaders did exactly that. Their plan, called Northwoods, included fake bombings in Miami and a staged plane attack, all to be blamed on Cuba. President Kennedy rejected it, so it never happened.
