Absolutely!
However, if I told you which one(s), I would be taken away and shot by the guys that follow me to the supermarket every day in black suits.

If no conspiracy theory had ever turned out to be true, then that would mean that nobody had ever formed a correct theory about a real conspiracy which was then proved.
This could be true in only three situations:
1) no conspiracies have ever occurred
2) no conspiracies have ever been revealed
3) all revealed conspiracies were a complete shock to everyone other than the conspirators
1 and 2 are patently not true, and 3 seems exceedingly unlikely, therefore it stands to reason that a conspiracy theory must have turned out to be true. For example, Trotsky believed that Stalin was conspiring to assassinate him. This was completely true - Stalin was indeed conspiring to assassinate him, and in fact succeeded in this aim.

Well, there are subjects that once were the realm of "conspiracy theorists," and were derided as such, which I believe subsequent research and revelations have proven to be true, or at least likely to be true. For example: The CIA Conducted Mind Control Experiments on Unwitting Citizens, The U.S. Helped High Level Nazis Escape Prosecution So They Could Work for Us, The Government Engages in Major Spying Efforts Against U.S. Citizens, The Government Infiltrated and Tried to Destroy 1960s Radical Groups and Their Leaders (COINTELPRO). I believe another way to ask this question is, "Have official government explanations of events ever turned out to be false?" I believe most of us would agree on that answer: Yes.

Yes, but once the truth comes out, it is buried again. Try to research why hemp is an illegal crop in the US. You will actually find little because the Hearsts, the DuPonts and other wealthy families have buried the truth more than once.

It's common knowledge that JFK was killed by his own government, but that's one of the few that is mathematically and scientifically proven.
Many people believe this link

is proof that the US was behind 9/11.
