Doing research for a website about conspiracy theories.

What’s your opinion of people who believe conspiracy theories and why do you think that?

Please see my other questions for more conspiracy theory stuff. Thanks.

Do you trust those conspiracy theories, or think there might be atleast an element of truth to them?

I have to write a speech on conspiracy theories. However, I have to include RELIABLE references. which is almost a paradox for the topic. So i was wondering if people can post some sites that are useful and informative.

thanks

In relation to the moon landing.

I heard an interview with James Van Allen not too long after the Fox tv moon landing conspiracy theory show. He was incensed that people could even go there. What is the psychology behind far-fetched conspiacy theories anyway? Attempt to have a little control or otherwise meaning for things beyong their control or understanding?

What are the craziest conspiracy theories associated with Barrack Obama?
I’ve heard of people saying he’s an Arab and a Muslim, Barrack Obama was used by Bill Ayres to undermine the nation, and that the Democrats engineered the financial crisis to occur right before election so he could win.

One element of the media’s focus over the last hundred years has been to discredit any theory which can be classified as a “conspiracy.” As a result many people have come to view conspiracy theories with suspicion, rather than viewing government with suspicion. This is a very strange reversal of human opinion, and it is important to note that this is a very recent development in the history of mankind. Conspiracies have driven political direction since the beginning of civilization, and are the rule rather than the exception. It is a testament to the power of modern media that over the course of the last hundred years, a carefully controlled media has been able to condition the population into the belief that conspiracies are the last resort of those citizens who are either paranoid or unable to explain their own failures by any other means.

What do you think of conspiracy theories in general? Which ones has merit and which is are ridiculous? What are you reasons for believing/disbelieving?

First of all, the Masonic conspiracy theories are total BS. Anyone that tells you that Masonic organizations are evil or Satanic needs a reality check.

I saw the movie Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks, and there were references to the Illuminati. I’ve heard other stories that they were a secretive Satanic organization, but I don’t trust those stories at all.

Are the Illuminati conspiracy theories based on any fact at all? Who were (or are) they?

Conspiracy theories always bring about skepticism and the people who believe them are considered by the general public to be paranoid, radical, and/or crazy, but have any conspiracy theories been found to be true?
