In January 1951 a geiger counter at Kodak's headquarters in New York registered readings 25 times higher than normal during a snowstorm. It turned out that on the 27th of January the first nuclear test occurred at the Nevada Proving Grounds location.
In 1952, Kodak notified the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) about its findings. The commission dismissed Kodak's concerns, even allowing Kodak to give a press release about radioactive snow. Kodak was told that the radiation in the snow wasn't harmful to humans or animals, which it relayed in the press release.
Kodak would eventually go on to threaten to sue the United States government for the nuclear tests due to the damage it was causing to their X-ray film. The U.S. government and Kodak eventually worked out a deal where the AEC would notify Kodak of future tests so precautions could be made to protect the film. In return, Kodak was to keep silent about the nuclear testing.

Conspiracies have always existed, it's on deniers to prove a paradigm shift occurred so that people stopped conspiring. Whether one particular conspiracy takes place or not is irrelevant.

While it's true that conspiracies have always existed, when we study historical verified conspiracies, the sequence of events that brings them to light bears little resemblance to the conspiracy nut phenomenon.
Real conspiracies are often actionable, and lawyers for victims are often the first to bring them to light by filing court documents. Compare and contrast this with conspiracy nut stories, which spread like memes for decades, with either no litigation or frivolous suits.

"...Today, Mariani, like the other 9-11 plaintiffs, is under a gag order which prevents her from speaking about her ongoing lawsuit. Likewise, thousands of employees of federal agencies like the Federal Aviation Administration have received gag orders in the mail keeping them from telling what they know about the events of 9-11.
After more than four years, however, Mariani’s determined pursuit for the truth about 9-11 through the court system has failed to yield any answers or discovery about who is responsible for 9-11. Today, she is no closer to obtaining what she has stated she wanted from the beginning—a trial by jury..."

Holy crap. "It was on the Internet so it must be true". Skimming that linked article, it invokes the idea that Zionists are somehow responsible for 9/11. When I follow the link back to the web site that published that, it's a mess of hot garbage. Most of it has a right-wing bent with headlines like:
Hillary’s Missing Emails Found in Obama Oval Office, Says FBI
Deep State Conditions Public for War
and Who’s After Golan Heights Riches? [americanfreepress.net]
You deal with a lot of odd arguments and sources on the Internet, but I did nazi this coming.

Any agenda has to rest on some truth, there are more famous sites talking about lawsuits against FBI, google around. Plus how do you know what's in Obama's office?
