What is the meaning of conspiracy-theory groups?

Question

I am reading this book..The Camel Club and found this term there...

Answer 1

Conspiracy Theory Groups are people who believe that the Government has plots and is hiding major secrets. Examples are those that watch Area 51 (where the F-117 Nighthawk and SR-71 Blackbird were made, both secret projects.) Other groups think that a flying saucer crashed in Roswell. There are theories about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His assassin spent a year in Russia, and why did Jack Ruby, a man with organized crime connections, kill him before he could be brought to trial? Did Russia seek revenge for the Cuban Missile Crisis? Was Marilyn Monroe’s suicide real, or was she killed to hide an affair with JFK? Some Moslems believe that 911 was a Jewish plot, and that Jews were warned before hand to stay home (they didn’t). Is Elvis still alive? Was his overdose a quiet way for him to hide? How many people have claimed to have been abducted by aliens? The Government does not believe these people and consides them to be “crack pots.” Is that a plot to hide the US Government dealings with ETs?

Conspiracy Theory Groups crop up often. They form when people don’t trust the authorities, and then talk about it with like-minded people. There was a rumor that the US Military put Saltpeter in the coffee to cut down on pregnancies. If so it hasn’t worked. You can find conspiracy theories on almost anything where the people don't want to believe it happened the way it did, or that the true reasons may have been hidden. They are more popular now days because they get published in books and media attention. There are even conspiracy theories about how and why the Egyptians built the Pyramids.

Answer 2

There are some shallow people who think that just because a theory is unpopular, it is automatically wrong. These are the people who immediately denounce any "conspiracy theory" without even hearing it through first.
