...why do people think much more complex situations which involves the cooperation AND silence of tens, even hundreds of people, are conspiracies? Everything from JFK's assassination to the NBA Finals lasting 7 games in order to generate more televsion revenue to Bush masterminding 9/11 to Tinky Winky being a gay Teletubbie has been called a conspiracy by one group or another. Do you think conspiracy theorists are being realistic?
Thanks in advance for your thoughtful responses!

Heavens no! But their minds work in mysterious ways. They see connections where others see none. The interesting thing is that they can justify each and every connection and make you see it. They just can't make you believe it!

I don't think they're being realistic at all. They make conjectures about things which you can't definitively prove one way or the other. Ever wonder why conspriacy theory is always about something grand and entertaining?

Most of them Yes. David Icke and Alex Jones for example.

Powers paying for these acts don't pick just anyone. You need to have very specific profile, and pass certain tests. And if choice maybe faltering they hire someone to assassinate poor choice with large family.

Absolutely. The more incredible something is (like believing we landed on the moon - pfffffft) the easier it is to "cover" it up, right in front of millions of non-believers.
