Once in a while, you are told a story, and your BS-meter alerts, and you categorize the story to be a conspiracy theory. The problem is.....a week later....a month later...a year later.....it's not a conspiracy theory.
The best example I can give?
We were all told in the 1960s and 1970s....that some scientist had developed a machine to determine if you were gay. It was occasionally brought up....people laughed over the idea, and it just lingered there as a conspiracy theory.
Well...the Canadian government did actually go out and hire a guy (Frank Robert Way) to build a device. For roughly 20 years....it lingered around and was stamped as a governmental 'asset'.
Other than working like a lie-detector...it was a fairly bogus piece of equipment. However.....it went from conspiracy theory....to reality.
