[QUOTE="GMSkarka, post: 148962, member: 763"] I often hear people say that they don't believe conspiracy theories because they don't believe that people could keep things quiet. Well, that's kinda Catch-22, isn't it? If they exist, then they weren't kept quiet...that's where the conspiracy theories come from. There's a big difference between "not keeping quiet" and "releasing full documentation and proof." Personally, I have no problem with the concept that the simple EXISTENCE of some conspiracy theories points to the fact that some people couldn't keep quiet, even if only on a small scale. As far as what theories I believe: The JFK thing is pretty scary--I don't know what theory I believe, but something happened there. I once read that the odds of so many people connected to the investigation (Ruby, witnesses, investigators, etc.) dying prematurely within the following 10 years was several hundred thousand to one, against. And, more mundanely, the "vast right-wing conspiracy" touted by Hilary Clinton during the impeachment scandal stands as a pretty open fact. I'm not sure you can call it a conspiracy when the right wing made it obvious from day one that they didn't consider Clinton a legitimate leader, and took every effort to undermine him at every step. Hell, David Brock, former conservative darling hatchet-man for the American Spectator, admitted in his book, "Blinded by the Right" that there was a definite witchhunt going on, directed by influential conservatives. Add that to the fact that the Whitewater investigation wrapped up a couple of months ago with a very very quiet, back-pages-of-the-newspapers announcement that no wrong-doing by the Clintons had been discovered, and it starts swaying from the realm of "crackpot theory" into "quite verifiable."
