G'day mdbapa

I think just about everyone on this board would agree with you that corruption and greed exist, and that the world is a poorer place for it. But that doesn't mean that the conspiracies discussed on this board are real. The first doesn't automatically lead to the second.

Each conspiracy theory needs to be examined on its evidence, and the thing is that the conspiracy theories which interest conspiracy theorists (9/11, Moon hoax, President Kennedy, and so on) don't have good evidence to back them up.

The really unfortunate thing is that many conspiracy theories which may be worthy of further investigation don't seem to interest conspiracy theorists, either because the events took place somewhere other than the USA, or earlier than the 20th century.
