Because sometimes conspiracy theories are correct?
Remember how the government denied the very existence of the NSA... it was so secret the joke was that NSA stood for "No Such Agency." Remember the Gulf of Tonkin incident that never was?
The government has given every reason to believe that anything they say should be taken with a grain of salt. Is everything they say a lie? Is everything a conspiracy? Of course not. Should we believe everything they say simply because they're the ones saying it? Absolutely not!

People don't like to believe that their celebrities and heroes can suffer the same sort of mundane accidents that can happen to just anybody. *Their* heroine cant just have a car crash, and die because they didn't wear a seat belt - They need to believe that it was planned and executed by a group of shady individuals with some sort of grudge.
Other conspiracy theories are popular because, at heart, we all hate and distrust the people in power. They think the government is out to get them. Some information needs to be manipulated and kept secret, because that is the nature of the world - new weapons, new stealth applications, etc - therefore it is easy to believe that they are manipulating everything which we cant immediately understand.
take a case like the '9/11 conspiracy'.... notice that it comes under one heading, as if all versions of the conspiracy theory are unified and linked - they are not.
In fact, many of the 9/11 conspiracy theories conflict with each other. There are so many minute details in these individual theories that it would take a team of researchers and scientists a lifetime to answer every single detail...
and, of course, some questions will never be answered.
People don't like that..... they want there to be an answer for everything, but that is not the nature of the world.

There is a conspiracy theory suggesting that conspiracy theories are only launched to deflect public attention away from the truth. But I believe that this is a theory conspired to prove the truth in a way that protects the perpetrators of the deception...
ie. NASA, CIA, British Monarchy.

The term "conspiracy theory" is the best defence a governament could have against curiousity. It equates the urge for turth with lunacy , paranoia and sheer madness. It makes those who use their minds look like idiots.
The world is not one big conspiracy of course. But it also isn't a paradise of pure and merry angels where politicans never lie or conspire or betray their people for power and money.
Whenever there is lack of trust in a governament, or in the media, there will rise an urge for truth, and for an acceptable explanation. It's very human to look for answers, and it is very human to look for answers in sometimes the least expected directions. Scientists do that all the time. They don't make new discoveries by accepting older theories that everyone else believes in! That's how the world advances .

Paranoid tendencies are associated with an animal's ability to recognize danger. Higher animals attempt to construct mental models of the thought processes of both rivals and predators in order to read their hidden intentions and to predict their future behavior. Such an ability is extremely valuable in sensing and avoiding danger in an animal community. If this danger-sensing ability should begin making false predictions, or be triggered by benign evidence, or otherwise become pathological, the result is paranoid delusions.

There are some facts which indicate that different conspiracy theories are true. That means, I am not sure they are all true, or false, but some seem to be true. As I wrote a few times before, I read (in www.slobodan-milosevic.org/ ) that Princess Diana was deliberately murdered, as a rehearsal for the murder of the late President Milosevic, may God avenge his death, who was murdered by the injustice institution in the Hague instead, by them denying him the crucial medical treatment he needed.

I think it's just how the human mind works... people love to hate. Plus, if there is a possibility of something, such as 9/11, being a conspiracy, it's just so mind boogling that people would almost like it to be a conspiracy to have a little pinch of drama added to their lives. Thats just my opinion though.

People love to take half fact and add a bit to make it more spectacular. Then it takes only a few people to believe it. We are not suckers, just like to explore all possibilities.

conspiracy words ? they sell, and that's what it's really all about?
selling a story. keeping the money and the mind moving in a predesigned enclosure. like pasturing out. here the human mind is treated no different than a heard of(......) and eating on the grain of feed another has formulated and not the green fields of truth.Ya. the word selling itself in the free market mind. Yep, that's what it looks like from this point of view. moo!
