All theories which are about any event which might have been planned and caused by more than one person ARE...by definition...conspiracy theories, Bill.


That includes the popular theory espoused by the official report on 911. It is a conspiracy theory.

Conspiracies are hatched by a great variety of people, including sometimes people IN governments and other high authority structures of all kinds. Matter of fact, they happen every day...the only question is in regards to what and by whom and for what purpose (good or evil?)?

Therefore I can say that my concerns are the same as yours, which is to say... "MY concerns (as should be obvious) continue to be about the very nature and process OF conspiracy theories."

;-)

See what I mean? Who is better equipped to maintain the coverup of a major conspiracy....someone who controls the government and mainstream media outlets? Or a few private individuals who don't control the government and mainstream media?

I would submit that the former group of people are far better equipped to conceal their conspiracies than the latter are.

It happens all the time. Governments (and specific sections IN governments...like the CIA, etc) do stuff that they keep top secret...even from practically everyone else who is IN the government. They have the power and the security arrangements to do that. They are set up to do that right from the start.

Example: The Manhattan Project - A large number of scientists and governmental people conspired secretly to create a terrible new weapon in the 1940s that could be used to blow up an entire downtown metropolitan area. They invested a vast amount of money and effort in doing it, eventually succeeded, did an above ground test of the weapon....and STILL managed to keep it all totally secret from the general public, the press, most other nations, etc. No one knew about it who wasn't supposed to know about it...or if anyone did, it certainly didn't reach the press...not till the day they dropped one of the damn things on Hiroshima and proudly uncovered their own successful conspiracy to blow a foreign city to blazes!

That's how well a government can keep secrets if they want to, Bill. It can be done.

Just a possibility...but they DO have the power to keep something enormous a secret if they want to, primarily by controlling their own personnel and the main media sources, and that's done in a variety of ways...money, influence, command structure, invoking "national security", connections, threats, direct orders to certain people in management positions to proceed as instructed. It can be done.
