Most people can't resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue ... and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous. Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy.

Conspiracies - two or more people who plot together to do something illegal - are obviously quite common. And so are government conspiracies, as this article shows. I marvel, though, at how US news media and government officials have used the term "conspiracy theory" with such great effect; it hides so much information from so many people who are understandably afraid to appear different or crazy by asking questions about important matters. Think about it - especially now as we are ramping up for our fourth 9/11 war - is it not beyond absurd to call someone a "conspiracy theorist" simply for asking for a full investigation of 9/11? Scroll down the page for a video of the North Tower collapsing. How could anyone watch that video not want to know why the building pulverized at such a rapid speed? ABN
