The idiocy of conspiracy theorists

[ronthenekred]

There's one thing that the conspiracy theorists just don't get.

 

Forget all their so-called evidence; forget the gaps in official explanations, quirks of nature and other minutiae that they bloat into being massive issues.

 

The simplest, and most important, thing they completely fail to understand is that you simply cannot do something deceptive and morally repugnant at government level, with hundreds or thousands of people aware and contributing, without the whistle being blown.

 

Believe it or not, the vast majority of people who work in the security services, military and civil service are honest and would not support a gruesome conspiracy by the government.

 

Because you are part of a conspiracy doesn't mean you know there is a conspiracy taking place. With enough power and resources I can put you at the scene of a crime and build up enough media involvement to convince the general public to believe. For a conspiracy to take place you don't necessarily need to be aware, you just need to have a routine, a routine that can or could be used against you.

Many mainstream sources refused to publish the information (as expected), but the initial exposure was not by the media or through investigative journalism. It was exposed by what many people would consider "paranoid left wing conspiracy theorists".

 

 

And some mainstream sources checked the material, found it to be reliable and published it. The Washington Post broke the story only a couple of weeks after the break in.
