@vivifysaid The Wuhan lab conspiracy theory has gained a lot of traction as something that actually happened.
Lab leak is not a conspiracy theory.
If you want to add that Bill Gates and Tony Fauci in cahoots intentionally leaked it, and make it a bio-weapon and sprinkle in some geopolitical intrigue and a coverup, then you've got a conspiracy theory.
@metal-brainsaid There are a lot, but they are usually called scandals, affair or crisis instead. Here is a list. Many of them are conspiracies of silence.
Operation Mockingbird
The Watergate scandal
The Gulf of Tonkin Incident
The savings and loan crisis
The Iran-Contra affair
Operation Ajax
Project Coast
Operation Paperclip
Tuskegee Syphilis Study
The CIA developed a heart ...[text shortened]... -part-01-of-04/view
I could go on and on. I didn't even include assassinations like Julius Ceasar
We've been over this before. Many of these are conspiracies, but they are not conspiracy theories. Watergate, as it is reported and known in the history books, was not and is not a conspiracy theory. The story of Watergate was released through investigative reporting and witness testimony and hard evidence.
The term "watergate conspiracy theory" refers to the variety of crank hypotheses that the conspirators were actually victims of an insidious deep state plot to take out Nixon. That, of course, is not true, or at least has not been proven correct.
@ponderablesaid So Hitler being in Argentina proved to be true? (your fbi-link) When was that. last time I looked itw as reported that the guy shot himself and the corpse was burned. Identifictaion was done via the dentals...
Are you denying the FOIA FBI information is true?
It is either true or false. Which is it?

When were we over this before? I don't recall ever going over this subject before? Are you making that up?
@mott-the-hooplesaid most recently...fauci conspiring with chinese military to create a supervirus (military weapon) that was released on the world when chinese and democrats were in a bad situation.
He said, "turned out to be valid", not residing only in your "Big Book of Republican Fairy Tales".
It doesn't work thus. The thread is about consipracy theories proven to be correct, so the person should be able to give a proof that would stand in court.
A bit more work than just saying :"I am right and if you don't see that you are dumb"
@eladarsaid Covid just happened to appear in Wuhan which just happened to have a lab that was studying bat viruses. It happened to start spreading late in Trump's term in office and was in full swing at the time of the election.
All of this is coincidence.
So where is the proof of the conspiracy that fauci played any part?
And you just named what we could call "circumstancial evidence" but none of that makes a proof. Would you as a judge rule, that there was no doubt? Really?
@metal-brainsaid Are you denying the FOIA FBI information is true?
It is either true or false. Which is it?
Yes I deny that this document reports truth. It is "just" a shred of collected "intelligence". You would have to proove that Hitler did not die in berlin April 1945. best you start by telling us wehre he is interred (I think we can agree that the guy can't be alive still?)

circumstantial evidence such as this will stand in court

Some of them are conspiracy theories. Some of them are conspiracies, but not theories. Some started out as conspiracy theories and are now simply conspiracies proved correct.
