I asked, concisely and simply, what was being hidden from us. Most of them just berated me, one user claimed the Syria conflict to which I provided a link to a recent UN Statement on which quite accurately reflected the conflict start to finish. Another user claimed that the recently declassified Nixon era documents about the Chilean revolution and coup, but I was able to find a 1973 archived Newspaper accusing the Nixon Admin of having a hand in it from Times Magazine meaning it was already a mainstream theory at the time.
We had those beliefs in print and more, actually. For example, people used to think our supply of oil would have been completely used up by now, it caused a lot of fear and panic back in the day. Al Gore was running a presidential campaign on a Climate Change platform starting in 1999.
