Top 7 Stunningly Accurate Conspiracy Theories Revealed as Fact
In the 1950s and 60s, a series of events unfolded that would cast a shadow over the trust in vaccine safety and government transparency. One of the most significant discoveries was made by vaccine safety scientist Bernice Eddy, who found that animals given monkey cells developed cancer. This revelation led to the discovery of the simian virus SV40 in polio vaccines, a monkey virus that causes cancer in animals.
Between 1956 and 1961, over 90% of children and 60% of adults had already received a polio vaccine contaminated with SV40. Estimates show that 30% of all polio vaccines contained SV40. Despite the alarming findings, government officials, including immunologist Joe Smadel, silenced Bernice Eddy and buried her findings.
The US government's silence continued with the suppression of whistleblowers reporting on a contaminated polio vaccine. This unfortunate history repeats itself, as in 1990, Michele Carbone discovered the presence of SV40 in human tumors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), but the organization refused to publish his findings.
The role of SV40, polio vaccines, and the connection to increased tumors remains a topic of debate among medical experts. However, it is known that SV40 affects the natural human tumor suppressors, as found by other scientists.
This period of history was marked by a lack of transparency and ethical conduct, with events such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, where the US Public Health Service deliberately withheld treatment from 600 black men with syphilis for 40 years, despite knowing that penicillin was an effective treatment.
The US government's questionable actions did not end with the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. In the 1950s, the US government conducted Project Sunshine, secretly obtaining 1500 cadavers from various countries for testing the effects of radiation poisoning on bones.
The questionable actions of the US government extend further back, with Operation Paperclip starting shortly after the end of World War II, around 1945-1946, during President Harry S. Truman's administration. Despite Truman's forbidding of Nazi war criminals, the US government brought over 1600 German scientists to America under this operation.
The controversies surrounding the US government do not end with its handling of health issues. The High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in Alaska, containing 180 radio antennas, is suspected by some to be used for weaponizing the weather. In 2010, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez even blamed HAARP for the Haitian earthquake.
The annual Bilderberg meetings, where the most powerful people in Europe and America discuss world events, have been occurring in secret since the 1950s. While these events may seem far-fetched to some, they serve as a reminder of the importance of transparency and ethical conduct in government and scientific research.
Among the various conspiracy theories that have gained traction, one of the craziest is the belief that lizards rule the world. While this theory is not factually confirmed, it is a stark reminder of the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking in today's information age.
In 1953, the UK government tested deadly nerve gas on a volunteer named Ronald Maddison at Porton Down, causing his horrifying death. These events serve as a grim reminder of the ethical dilemmas that have arisen in the name of scientific progress and national security.
As we move forward, it is essential to learn from the past and strive for greater transparency and ethical conduct in government and scientific research. The controversies of the past serve as a warning of the potential dangers of unchecked power and the importance of holding those in power accountable for their actions.
