Conspiracy Theory Prediction Records
The right doesn't have such a great record, see for instance the great hue and cry Reagan made over the dangers of Medicare. Some other examples of right-wing paranoia/conspiracy theory prediction are here.
People like Alex Jones, who constantly cry that forced vaccinations, internment camps and martial law are coming, don't have such great track records either. Nor do the people who keep warning that some terror drill or the other is going to go live. I have always been very skeptical of those claims, I have to say.
Of course, people who have been wrong about these sorts of things can always say that by alerting the public, they averted those terrible things from happening.
More embarrassing are people who make claims about great spiritual awakenings, mass transformation, alien arrival or some combination of these three on a certain date-- and those days come, and nothing happens.
I've tended to make only fairly safe and obvious predictions-- like that there would never be any great sudden awakening about 9/11 (because the media won't allow it) but that most people will slowly realize what a scam it was in 20-30 years, like with the JFK assassination. And then nothing would happen because people would be too blase and busy with their lives to disrupt the system, and that the media would never promote it enough to get people riled up. I also predicted that Bush would lose in 2008 and hand over power peacefully, and there would be no major court fights about the election. That was kind of obvious to me, though plenty predicted Bush would not go quietly.
A more impressive prediction was Anonymous Physicist's prediction about the problems the Large Hadron Collider has had.
UPDATE" AP adds "When some like Jones cite martial law about to occur etc. from a govt Op going live, I think the following is really at play. Remember I think these people are intel assets posing as truthers or "warners." This aspect of their Op is precisely to cry "Fox" so many times, that the masses will ignore it when the last Op will go "critical". That is martial law, the Conc. Camps etc. really do open up, after everyone ignores such people's warnings because they were always off before."

Do you mean here that most will accept 9/11 being an inside job and/or at most controlled demolition and/or animations? Then the most important aspect, the nuking and the CSA would remain hidden from the general public.
It has been more than 40 years of successful Apollo fooling on mankind but I think that like you said about 9/11, in the next 20-30 years people will slowly wake up.
I'm eagerly waiting for better quality fake landing site photos from LRO that Goddard has promised to release soon.
Yes, sadly-- like the JFK ass'n, with the ultimate truth of who did it being obscured by the grassy knoll mystery shooter, the ultimate truth of 9/11-- the faking and the nuking-- will likely remain in deep obscurity.
