Conscience of a Conspiracy Theorist

&quote;Conspiracy theories&quote; are nothing new. Any shocking, mysterious event generates concern and speculation, and when the event is man-made it is not uncommon to find that a conspiracy, that is, a complex and covert plan serving interests that are far from obvious, was behind it. In fact, many events in American history have fascinated the public for just that reason. Why, then, is it considered &quote;wacky&quote; to wonder about possible conspiracies? &quote;Conscience of a Conspiracy Theorist &quote; seeks to show how governmental deceit and (corporate-controlled) media silence have combined to keep the public misinformed about important events in American history. In the process, skeptics who question the A&quote;official accountsA&quote; are labeled A&quote;conspiracy theorists,A&quote; a pejorative term that carries with it suggestions of foolishness and a lack of patriotism.
