5. 19 Terrorists randomly decided to hijack 4 airplanes at the exact same...
moment and ironically all decided to attack the same targets that another random person named Osama thought would be good targets.


...Or are you saying that conspiracies can exist only when you believe them? If that is the measure then is it acceptable to say that 19 people "conspired" to attack the U.S. on 9/11? As long as you believe the theory, to question that conspiracy becomes unacceptable because conpiracies that a majority of the people believe (64%) must be true and those in the minority that believe the opposite (36%) must be false. By that measure, since 54% of Americans believe Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11 then that must be true even though our own President has said that is not true. Furthermore, when 80% of the people of the U.S. believed Iraq possessed WMD and were "conspiring" to hide that evidence from the world, that too must be true but then how do you reckon that with our current reality? Obviously, most people now believe that conspiracy was false and also believe that members of our Government "conspired" to offer us that illusion... maybe, just maybe, a conspiracy must rely on the facts of the case and not the views of the person who defends it. Of course, you shouldn't listen to me, me and people like me are merely conspiring to "create an environment where racism, anti-Semitism, and other forms of prejudice and oppression can flourish."
