In 2013, Professor Lance Dehaven-Smith—in a peer-reviewed book published by the University of Texas Press—showed that the term “conspiracy theory” was developed by the CIA as a means of undercutting critics of the Warren Commission’s report that President Kennedy was killed by Oswald. The use of this term was heavily promoted in the media by the CIA. And—up until recently—it has served its purpose.
Now, however, in 2017, those who were once called “conspiracy theorists” are being vindicated as they watched instance after instance get exposed all year long. To be clear, we are not talking about outlandish, unprovable, and off the wall theories that completely lack evidence. We are talking about well-researched cases that were deliberately dismissed and ridiculed by the mainstream as a means of oppressing the information and protecting the establishment.
Ironically enough, 2017 is the year the conspiracy theorists were proven right as the mainstream media and government began pushing wild conspiracy theories without evidence to back them up.
To show just how vindicated the well-informed are, below is a list of the top 10 conspiracy theories that were proven as real in 2017.

Excellent post and thank you. Not many people know where the term ‘conspiracy theorist’ comes from (see: https://www.globalresearch.ca/conspiracy-theory-foundations-of-a-weaponized-term/5319708), but those same people have no problem throwing it around to anyone who disagrees with their non-researched worldview.
It can be sobering to find out that 99% of the things you say is simple regurgitatation of a carefully crafted narrative. As such, 2017 raised a lot of eyebrows.
Something tells me 2018 is the big one.
@kevincox, any bold predictions? Crypto, world events or anything?
