If you really wanted to give that conspiracy theory some legs, you could tie it to Sinbad (during the 2008 Democratic primaries) debunking Senator Clinton's claims about the alleged action they saw during a fateful 1996 USO tour to Bosnia-

Though you could probably chalk it up to more of a cosmic Mandela Effect sort of thing.

Ahh, so the plot thickens...

It's funny how even the slightest bit of uncertainty can make ideas so compelling. It is still by far my favorite "Mandela Effect" example, possibly due to my having been personally affected [or afflicted?].

Edit: Funnily enough, one of the linked articles you provided contains a link which goes to the interview with Sinbad in which he first cast doubt about the conditions in Bosnia, but it just redirects to the WaPo homepage. As does the result when I search for the article in Google. Google's cached version still works, however.

Linkrot is the Mandela Effect-maker of the internet.
