Now, if I was in such a regime and had such a particular interest to pay attention to such conspiracy websites, I would look upon so many websites and laugh to myself based upon the topics and replies. I would see a few that hit the nail on the head but have a vast majority looking upon the posts and replying "No proof - didn't happen."
Or would I wonder why the public is so stupid?
It's my personal opinion that a select few are right on, but have little or no support in their beliefs by majority of contributors to those posts. Which is entirely understandable; however; it's a bit disheartening because I know that if I was a government official, I would do everything in my power to make the true stories so impossibly convoluted that they would have little support.
