Can I cover a theory that has never been proven?

You can, as long as it is told as a theory: where the claim started, what the real evidence shows, and what remains unproven. Writing an unproven claim as settled, or inventing an insider to back it up, is what loses this audience.

Was Operation Mockingbird real?

Part of it is on paper. A CIA document records Project Mockingbird, a 1963 wiretap of two syndicated columnists. The name as a wider CIA programme steering the press traces to a 1979 book that cited no sources and is disputed by historians, while the Church Committee did document CIA ties to some journalists, so say which part you are telling.

Where do the strongest conspiracy topics come from?

From releases rather than rumours: congressional reports, documents an agency has declassified, and court cases. A topic that names its document, such as the Family Jewels or the Pentagon Papers, hands the video its proof scene.

The conspiracy videos worth making are the ones with paperwork. COINTELPRO came out because eight people broke into an FBI office and mailed the files to newspapers; thousands of MKUltra records survived only because they had been misfiled among financial papers when the rest were destroyed. Stories like these have a structure built in: what was dismissed, the document that surfaced, who knew, and what changed afterwards. The niche suits a calm, precise narrator and a creator who enjoys reading declassified releases, congressional reports and court records. It does not suit passing on rumours, and this audience can tell the difference within a sentence. When a famous claim is only partly on the record, say which part, and let the real document carry the drama; it nearly always turns out stranger than the rumour was.

What makes one of these work

Stick to what was documented. The real ones are wilder.
Start with the moment it came out.
Name the files, the hearings, the dates.

Openings that work

Example first lines. Use one as it is or write your own in the same shape.

On 8 March 1971, the day Ali fought Frazier, eight people broke into the FBI's field office in Media, Pennsylvania.
In May 1973, the director of the CIA asked his own officers to list everything the agency had done that might have broken its legal limits.
A senator called it 'probably the largest government interception program affecting Americans ever undertaken'.

The 1971 break-in that exposed COINTELPRO
Eight burglars, none ever arrested, mailed FBI files to newspapers. The heist and what the files revealed make two acts of one story.
The CIA's Family Jewels: 693 pages on its own conduct
Compiled in 1973 and released in June 2007, it covers wiretaps, mail opening and assassination plots. The page count is a hook.
How MKUltra papers survived the 1973 order to destroy them
Most files went on Richard Helms's order; about 20,000 misfiled documents turned up through a 1977 records request.
Project SHAMROCK and America's international telegrams
For decades three cable companies supplied copies of international telegrams to the codebreakers, until Congress looked in 1975.
Operation Paperclip: German scientists brought to America
More than 1,600 came, Wernher von Braun among them, and his team went on to help build the Saturn rockets of Apollo.
A Frank Statement to Cigarette Smokers, 1954
Tobacco companies ran it in more than 400 US newspapers on 4 January 1954. Their own published words are the evidence.
Operation Ivy Bells: tapping a Soviet cable under the sea
From 1971, divers from USS Halibut fitted a recorder to a cable in the Sea of Okhotsk, until a former NSA analyst sold it out.
The Pentagon Papers and the Supreme Court
Daniel Ellsberg copied the study, the Times printed it from 13 June 1971, and the Court let publication continue on 30 June.
Operation Snow White: Scientology's infiltration of the IRS
The FBI raided its offices in July 1977 and eleven senior members were convicted. A cover-up with court records behind every line.
Project Mockingbird: the CIA wiretap on two columnists
From March to June 1963 the CIA tapped Robert Allen and Paul Scott, who had printed classified material. Small, dated and real.
