I Believe Most Conspiracy theories

[cali]

are bunk, and most of the claims aren't even authenticated, like the one of the missing nuke. Rumors fuel conspiracy theories. So why do they proliferate among intelligent people? I think it's largely an attempt to make order in tumultuous times. People want explanations that fit their world view, as well.

Are all conspiracy theories bunK? Probably not, but by their very nature they're impossible to prove. For me, one of the biggest strikes against CTs is that some of the larger ones-like those going on about an attack taking place before Sept 21, would require literally thousands of people. And I don't believe you can get thousands of people to keep their mouths shut.

A CT positing that bushco planned to nuke U.S cities also assumes that there are hundreds if not thousands of Americans, who would go along with it.

Hard to buy into.
