New studies: ‘Conspiracy theorists’ sane; government dupes crazy, hostile

[cprise]

16. Ironically, the government is a full time conspiracy theorist

And many, many people go to jail or get whacked by drones because the theories the authorities generate are either true or are contrived in some way to get the public to go along.

OTOH, there really are unbalanced 'CTers' who believe in lizard people, that HAARP is a weapon, or the birther thing, etc. and who see a threat hiding in every corner.

On the whole, everyone generates suspicions about collusion somewhere in the world. So I think labeling people CTers is a meaningless falsehood at best. The focus should be on whether or not persons/arguments are rational.
