    Are there any conspiracy theories floating around that you actually believe are true?

    Or do you always need solid facts presented before you commit yourself to a side?

    What if the conspiracy theory is true and those behind the conspiracy are hiding the facts to protect themselves from the actual truth ever getting out? What then?

    History is very often caused by conspiracy. For example, empires do not just occur from one day to another, they are carefully planned (masterminded) by a group of persons for years by using ideology (most people can't see)

    Always by solid facts or hard evidence.

    Thats right, the facts are suppressed / swept off the table, the media does not show them to the people. This shows you how affraid a government or elite is to get exposed. They do everything to hide the truth from the public. This is how they get away with it time and again.

    Open mind does not mean you just believe anything.

    Theories crop up all the time. Labels make people laugh or scratch their head. It was a theory at one time that the world was flat. That ebded up being wrong. It was a theory at one time that Hitler would help Germany. In the short run they were wrong, but look at Germany today, stronger than every before without fighting anyone.

    Anyone who believes that a conspiracy involving more that 10 people can be successful should sit in on a committee one time
