REAL conspiracies

Anybody have any CT's about Yalta? Perhaps so great, we still don't know...
 
The N. Koreans have built entire fake cities along the border w/ the south to make them appear prosperous. There's a pic of one here.
 
Seriously, one I find interesting is the conspiracy against Cliff Robertson. A producer forges Robertson's name to a check for $10,000, and is caught. He goes on to head a studio and Robertson is blacklisted, despite the fact that he was the victim. An Oscar winner who ends up doing Escape from L.A..

How about the USSR collapse? The country had the world convinced it had an economy on par with the US. It wasn't until later we found out that the country's money reserves never existed.

It was evident the the Soviet union was weaker than the US long before it colapsed. People might not have expected it to colapse but it was pretty damn clear who was winning the cold war.

There were no winners of the Cold War. Only degrees of losing.

What do you think has been the greatest REAL conspiracy ever ? What about the 20th century ?

The conspiracy to conceal the data (and later on to prevent others re-discovering the evidence) that showed that cigarettes were killing people.
 
In terms of shear size the various allied projects during WW2. The Manhatten project, Operation Barclay/Operation Mincemeat, Operation Fortitude and the like.

Certainly Fortitude South/Quicksilver and the XX system have to arnk up there somewhere. Also the German "relocation" program for European Jews.

I think there's a distinction between a military deception, which is bound to be revealed at some point, and a conspiracy, which is meant to remain secret. So I wouldn't include Patten's ghost army group, but I would include the Final Solution (mentioned previously as the Wansee Conference).

It's a difficult choice between that and the Tobacco-Pushers Conspiracy. In terms of numbers of deaths and the lifetime of the conspiracy, I'd have to go for the Tobacco-Pushers.
 
The details of the Teller-Ulam design.

Pffft. That's tiny compared to "Silent Scream"

This resulted in the ban of DDT. Tobacco is but a mosquito bite.

Sorry, I must have gotten my horrors mixed up.

Yep.

But while Rachel Carson may have been wrong about DDT (and I emphasize "may") there is no question that environmentalism, including the strict testing of pesticides, has saved many bird species from extinction, including, quite likely, the bald eagle.

I don't get it, WildCat. Who is supposed to be fooled? The South Koreans? Surely not, since I assume that knowledge of the condition of North Korea is well known...or is that a bad assumption.
