Is there a conspiracy to discount the idea of conspiracies?
Conspiracy. just the word conjures images of obsessive nerds toiling at basement computers and nutjobs ranting at gatherings of the like-minded. The question is …why? Why has characterizing something as a ‘conspiracy theory’ become synonymous with something only crazy people would believe. Watergate was a conspiracy, people are charged with criminal conspiracy all the time. 9/11 was one even if you don’t accept the ‘The Government Did It’-view; It was a conspiracy by a shadowy international terror group headed by a reclusive millionaire and criminal mastermind named Bin Laden. A megalomaniacal figure with plans on setting up a dominion (caliphate) stretching from Europe to Asia. Sounds like the plot of a 007 movie doesn’t it? Yet people have no trouble with THAT conspiracy theory! Is it so weird to think that people with great wealth and power would use those resources to keep and expand their control? That they wouldn’t sit around *hoping* things go their way?

No the media propaganda machine is used to paint it this way.
Example:yellow journalism from Hearst publishing’s history channel’s 911 fact or fiction where the editors of popular mechanics are proped up as experts. Or Geraldo’s doctor who is really a hard core porn star on 9/10/07 broadcast.
But the smear campaign for Andrew Meyer who’s free speech was infringed then he was straight up assaulted by the police for asking Kerry a question the police didn’t like. Is the newest big example of a media conspiracy to hide the truth. Not to mention the dan synder city councilman attack, he is ejected from a local meeting then a cop attacks him from behind in the hall and then he is arrested…its all on video (while you can find it) and the news calls it a fight.
