Terrific Article on Conspiracy Theories in General and 9-11 Theories in Particular
I didn't see this one over the weekend, but it's well worth perusing:
In response to this testimony, many conspiracy theorists reply that scientists who offer evidence disputing the conspiracy theory are part of the conspiracy itself. And the more evidence they offer in favour of the official version, the more strongly they are connected with the conspiracy. As Keeley puts it "conspiracy theories are the only theories for which evidence against them is actually construed as evidence in favour of them."

That's quite possibly the most annoying part of them (well besides the pissing on graves).
"Conspiracy theories are the only theories for which evidence against them is actually construed as evidence in favour of them."
Which, in turn, is cited by the Conspiracy Theorists as proof of their intellectual superiority over the slug-witted dum-dums who believe what the evidence supports. Preferably using the phrase "red pill" or "sheeple" ad nauseum, just in case there's any part of you that doesn't think conspiracy theorists are complete peckerheads.
But, yeah, good article in the Vancouver Sun. I liked the bit about "the last believers in an ordered universe." It's a small insight into what really drives people to believe conspiracy theories.
So what happens if the entire world, except for the CTers, believe the official story. Does that create some sort of giant black hole in their universe...does it pull the tube out of the back of their neck....does it pull them up out of the rabbit hole??
This one even brings in the X-Files.
You do understand that's what you people look like, right?
