the words -- CT

For some reason, when you say -- conspiracy theory -- it ends the thinking process. Even for thinking people... Why? In This interview with Barrie Zwicker, he talks about how the CIA 'seeded' this phrase in the media, to disparage, diminish, make fringy, derogate, etc....those that criticize the official government story. And they did this after the Kennedy assassination. I think we should leave the phrase behind, personally. It's tainted and used as a tool to divert away from the evildoers.

Well Said!

Well said! I have always believed nothing in Government/Politics happens by "coincidence" or "accident". As soon as there are ANY questions about an "official" government explanation...pick your event , 911, JFK, Oklahoma City, Iraq and even UFO's etc., conspiracy theorists are the first words out of the mouth of the MSM and government officials. Anyone with questions may just as well have been called "nut jobs." Right after "conspiracy theory" is stated by any of these "knuckleheads" (MSM or Government) a HUGE red flag should pop up in every Americans mind and they should demand real investigations and real answers - but just as you stated...it tends to stop the thinking process in most people. Less we forget the very time honored simple question..."who has the motive, the power and the ability to cover it up?"...Last time I checked, your general everyday individual citizens don't fall into that category.
