Are the conspiracy theorists really nuts?

Easily the looniest conspiracy theory ever.\n\nThere's a great website debunking the pathetic garbage. See link below:

I watched the video a few of months ago.  After a couple of years of some research I believe the majority of our politicians are completely in the dark as is most of the nation.  \n\nI do, however, believe there is an international conglomerate that uses many of the world governments and their citizens as pawns to establish a New World Order.  Some call them the Elite European Bankers or the Illuminati.  They are real and obviously do exist.\n\nAs for many of the "terorist" acts that have occured in the past, including Sept 11 and the Muir Building in OK City, the evidence is almost overwhelmingly blatant that what really happened is not what the government and the media want us to believe.  \n\nPeople say I'm crazy.  Maybe I am.  Maybe I'm not.

I think that people believe in conspiracy theories because they crave excitement. The reason that there is more talk about these ideas now is there is more media available. People seem to want to be the first to "know" what happened. What was the cause, the effect and the idea behind certain events. We thrive on "bad" news in particular. If we didn't, then the evening news wouldn't be nearly as interesting as it is for some. I do watch the news (some) but, it has gotten almost boring in that it is the same old same old all the time. I do like a good novel though so good luck in your endeavor, perhaps I will read a book by you one day.

Conspiracy here, conspiracy there, some people see conspiracies in everything. That's foolish, there are not lots and lots of conspiracies going unsolved.\n\nJust one big one, and it isn't very secret, people just don't want to think that they way things are represented as being done is a myth, that they are being played for chumps.

It is stupid to believe there are NO conspiracies.\n\nOkay so there has never been a single conspiracy? That is the whole premise of my show.

Conspiracy Theory Groups are people who believe that the Government has plots and is hiding major secrets.  Examples are those that watch Area 51 (where the F-117 Nighthawk and SR-71 Blackbird were made, both secret projects.)  Other groups think that a flying saucer crashed in Roswell.  There are theories about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  His assassin spent a year in Russia, and why did Jack Ruby, a man with organized crime connections, kill him before he could be brought to trial?  Did Russia seek revenge for the Cuban Missile Crisis?  Was Marilyn Monroe’s suicide real, or was she killed to hide an affair with JFK?  Some Moslems believe that 911 was a Jewish plot, and that Jews were warned before hand to stay home (they didn’t).  Is Elvis still alive?  Was his overdose a quiet way for him to hide?  How many people have claimed to have been abducted by aliens?  The Government does not believe these people and consides them to be “crack pots.”  Is that a plot to hide the US Government dealings with ETs?\n\nConspiracy Theory Groups crop up often.  They form when people don’t trust the authorities, and then talk about it with like-minded people.  There was a rumor that the US Military put Saltpeter in the coffee to cut down on pregnancies.  If so it hasn’t worked.  You can find conspiracy theories on almost anything where the people don't want to believe it happened the way it did, or that the true reasons may have been hidden.  They are more popular now days because they get published in books and media attention.  There are even conspiracy theories about how and why the Egyptians built the Pyramids.

AS A HUGE FAN OF ESPIONAGE AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES, I WOULD SAY DEFINITELY YES. AS FOR FAR-FETCHED CRAP LIKE ALIENS AND STUFF, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

I've seen several different "conspiracy theory" vidoes and I did some poking around on the Web to see what I could find. Here's a very interesting article you should check out:\n\nhttp://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html?page=1

Aha, conspiracy theories are great.  The governments of the world are seeking the anihilation of coastal people...Some sites are akin to the National Enquirer, you know.  Did this person see the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast and she told this prophecy?

Yes, you are crazy. If you weren´t crazy you wouldn´t ask questions like this.

I don't think the World Trade Center was a big conspiracy but I do think the Pentagon attack was:\n\nhttp://www.neiu.edu/~ayjamess/hmmm.htm#Main

If you had ever worked in the media, which I have, you would realize just how impossible it is for their to be a "media conspiracy."  So, no I do not think so.\n\nHowever, people in general tend to generalize.  Just look at a lot of the questions here.  Look at how many start with something like:\n\n"Why do all Christians......?"\n"Do you think that Muslims.....?"\n"Jews are.....Do you agree with me?"\n\nA good journalist will try to get beyond the stereo types, but that generally takes more time and space than they may be given for a particular story.\n\nAlso, you have to take into account what counts as news.  When Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell get on TV and say that X group is to blame for Y disaster because of their sin, that is newsworthy.  Christian fundamentalists are more visible, partly by their own choice, so they are in the news more.  Most terrorists are Muslim fundamentalists, so that is reported.  However, the fact that most Muslim fundamentalists are not terrorists is a non-event and therefore not a news story.\n\nWhat you describe is just an example of a few very visible bad eggs giving an entire group a bad reputation.  Been happening for centuries, and will continue to happen.

I have this video.  It is thought provoking.  Check out the one he (Alex Jones) put out about the Bohemian Grove.  That, too, is a secret sect that many of our presidents have belonged to as well as leaders from all over the world.  As for the Illuminati being a group of "intellectuals," that was said in The DaVinci Code and should not be taken as fact.  It was a wonderful web that Dan Brown weaved.  (I must say, though, I couldn't put that book down, very entertaining.)

You answered your own question.  Those people are crazy.
