I don't believe in a secret government of world order or something like that, but I do believe that there is corruption and greed that exist. The problem I have is that I can't seem to find any unbiased answers. It's either completely pro-conspiracy, or, like this board seems to be, completely trustworthy of what the government says. I don't mean to be too critical..sorry..

A belated welcome from me to the boards.
That's a simplified view of things.
Conspiracies can and do happen. It's the scale and duration of them, as well as the circumstances, that lead to skepticism about them.
For instance, what's more believable:
A group of extremists planned to fly planes into the WTC and Pentagon as part of the worst terrorist attack on the US....
OR
The govt planned the whole thing, using controlled demolition to bring down the WTCs (includng #7) and used a missile on the Pentagon.
There has to be evidence for a conspiracy theory to make it plausible.
We too know that corruption and greed exist. You might have heard of the supression of global warming data, as mentioned in a blog entry by the BA.
Such a thing makes me wonder; what does the Bush administration feel it has to hide from such an act? Do they think there's a connection?
And then there was a similar incident with the FDA (also in the BA's blog entry).
And who can forget Watergate?
The thing about the conspricacies discussed on these forums is that they are not believable. Most are about the supposed "moon hoax", which contridicts a great deal of evidence.
And as has been discussed also is that there is no evidence to truly support 9/11 conspiracy theories.
I hope this helps in your view of these forums.
Again, welcome.
