Does anyone listen to conspiracy theories? Why not?

Question

What if the conspiracies are true?

Answer 1

Some are true and some are not.  That's what serious research is all about.  Conspiracy theories can fool some of the people some of the time, but they can't fool all the people all of the time.

Was 9/11 a false flag to get us into a Middle East conflict?  Was  Kennedy killed by the CIA?  Is Area 51 really hiding aliens?  

Is the New World Order real?  Is the Bildeberg elite crowd trying to kill off 80% of the worlds population?  They are all considered conspiracy theories, but all you have to do is dig.

Now I wonder.  Why would American Airlines and Boeing "put" purchases (a stock buying term) be at an all time high just prior to 9/11 2001.  Buying a "put" means you are betting that the stocks will go down.  If they do, you profit.  Just look up the stock charts for that week under "puts" sold. Odd.?

In September 2001 the Securities and Exchange Commission initiated an inquiry to establish who benefited from the unusually high numbers of put options purchased prior to September 11 for shares in companies (American, Boeing) whose stock prices subsequently plummeted, on the supposition that whoever was behind the hijacking was also behind most of the purchases of these put options. Why has this inquiry stalled? Why have those who benefited from the purchases of these put options not been identified (or at least, not publicly)?  

The media will say that those who research and believe that 9/11 may have been a false flag set up by the powers that be to get us into a Middle East war are wacko conspiracy nuts.

Is the media covering up the new found truths to protect the guilty?  You be the judge and jury.

Answer 2

Paranoid People do... -It's one of the things that keep them "going". :) Otherwise, like MOST "theories", they're seldom worth the time wasted dreaming them up...

Answer 3

i don't because most of them are based on opinions, eyewitess reports (which are very rarely true), and wrong fact. The simple truth is that they are made up by people that usually da on't want to face the truth, and can be debunked in 5 minutes by professionals

Answer 4

People listen to them ALL the time. The Big Bang Theory, and that other looney one, The Theory of Evolution. Those are about the most famous fake theories of all time. Don't fall for them. LOL

Answer 5

I LOVE conspiricy theories!

They really get you thinking and give the brain a work out, plus they can be good converstional topics at dinners ;)

You don't neccessarily have to believe them, but if you think about it they are good brain food and make you question life instead of accepting everything thats fed to you

Answer 6

We are constantly bombarded with the silly conspiracy theory in the US media about how Arabs masterminded 9/11. I admit that the event had to be a conspiracy, but can't the administration come up with a more plausible sequence of events for its conspiracy theory?

The fact is, most crime including 9/11 were conspiracies. The only difference between the government story and others, is that the other theories come from more reliable sources.

The real question is why the American people still believe their government and the propaganda arm of the government called mainstream media. When Rush Limbaugh gets a $400,000,000.00 multple year contract to spin his ongoing lies, you know that something is broken in the system.

I believe in American values like life, liberty, truth, and justice for all. Unfortunately, the media (including PBS) is more interested in this quarters revenue. (Let's not lose money because of ethics. Ok?)
