Exactly ... Do you see how this can be absolutely plausible?
I think that this would be the ultimate move by TPTB.
Respect,

I totally get what you're saying here. Part of me thinks though that TPTB love conspiracy theorists. Say we come up with 1,000 crazy ideas, half of which are really true. Because of the half that are wrong, they get to devalue the entire package and therefore devalue anything we get behind.

Well, yes, technically. It's just that very recently, the Conspiracy Aware are being specifically and vehemently attacked above and beyond the normal stuff. And the label is "Crazy." "Insane." "Whackadoodle." None of which actually fits 99% of Us.
Yes ... I think so too! the problem is is that those of us who have our head on right are being lumped with those who are WAY out there (sorry if I offended anyone). therefore we considered as one even though this may not be the case.
All of this most definitely adds to the fact that we a considered 'nuts'. Why listen to us? Why care about anything we care about?

Ahh now we are getting at why I get agitated at nonsensical conspiracies. Governments do indeed lie. However, they do not always lie.. The impression from all the conspiracies flying around is that every single syllable uttered by western governments, particularily US and UK, is a lie. Highlighting this fact allows true lies to be hidden behind a volume of nonsense conspiracies.
We will NEVER get to the truth whilst we invent conspiracies for everything.
This is why people like myself get frustrated at the total ignorance expressed by the followers of nonsense conspiracies. Rabid followers of those conpiracies are now a tool that government conspirators rely on.

Perhaps it's really time to abandon the name THEY gave us, and adopt one of our own.
We're not Conspiracy Theorists, we are Responsible, Investigative Citizens. We do our due diligence. And we do this because the MSM doesn't do Investigative Journalism or Truth Seeking any more.

I don't think there is a war on conspiracy theories in general. However, there certainly is a war against smear campaigns disguised as conspiracy theories...and rightfully so.
