Conspiracies are NONSENSE.. right? Here are four instances of super DUPER trustworthiness from the eternally benevolent USA government!

"In order to track the disease’s full progression, researchers provided no effective care as the study's African American participants experienced severe health problems including blindness, mental impairment—or death."

Ah yes, the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Wow, the government was so trustworthy there and totally did not conspire against its citizens! You can TRUST the government to be impartial and NOT INJECT YOU WITH DISEASES 😀 Truuuussst.. shhh it's okay, ignore the horrific pain. It's NORMAL good citizen..

"At least three times in the past, San Franciscans and other Americans have been inadvertent victims of efforts designed to help shield citizens against attacks:

-- In 1950, the Army secretly used a Navy ship cruising just outside the Golden Gate to spray supposedly harmless bacteria over the entire city and its outskirts. Eleven people were sickened by the germs in San Francisco, and one of them died."

Ops! Somebody died from an experiment they did not choose to participate in? That is surely not a conspiracy against American citizens, that's just some innocent biological weapons testing!

"From 1956 to 1961, the CIA, in a secret behavior modification program called MK-ULTRA, dispatched agents to test the effects of mind-altering drugs such as LSD and synthetic mescaline on unsuspecting people in San Francisco, Mill Valley and other cities across the country. Many of the victims hallucinated, many became sick and at least two deaths resulted from the experiments."

"Hearings before a Senate Intelligence Committee in 1977 revealed some astonishing experiments, including one run out of a CIA safe house in San Francisco where agents infiltrated parties and dances to spike the drinks of guests with LSD and other hallucinogens and observe their freaked-out behavior.

One of the victims of the CIA experiments with LSD was Dr. Frank Olson, a civilian working for the Army who unwittingly drank the hallucinogen after dinner in a glass of Cointreau handed to him by a CIA agent.

While being treated for violent episodes of paranoid schizophrenia, Olson jumped to his death at New York's Statler Hotel.

Ironically, Olson's job at Fort Detrick in Maryland was to assess the vulnerability of American installations to biological terror."

Nothing like tripping balls when you least expect it, right? Some guy even jumped out of a window because of that, isn't that lovely? I bet he felt so patriotic helping the cause of science by being subjected to that unknowingly. Isn't the government so benevolent and trustworthy? Don't you just want to give them loads of more power and nod your head whenever they lambast conspiracy theorists?

And speaking about radiating trust, what about this?

"And from 1944 to 1974, both the Defense Department and the Atomic Energy Commission conducted hundreds of secret experiments in San Francisco and around the country that exposed unsuspecting patients to dangerous doses of radiation, including injections of plutonium."

I could go on, but hopefully those four examples prove to you just how trustworthy our government actually is, my fellow Americans 🇺🇸
