"Rich and powerful people don't get together and make plans! You're a kook! You're a 'Conspiracy Buff'"
– George Carlin
Sorry Chang, but for me, especially 9/11? Anyone who uses the term "Conspiracy Theory" in any context, for me is immediately suspect. "Conspiracy Theory" was a notion created by the CIA in the wake of the Warren Commission's grotesque conclusions regarding the first Kennedy Assassination. I'm aware of Cass Sunstein's 2008 paper on "Conspiracy Theory"; I was unable to read it, it was so biased and contemptuous of the mere possibility. You might do well to read "Conspiracy Theory in America by Lance deHaven-Smith" and the more recent "180 Degrees: Unlearn the Lies You've Been Taught to Believe" by Feargus O'Connor Greenwood. The creatures running our shared shitshow treat "reality" like a game of chess, they're always planning 4-5 moves ahead. The one thing in our favor? They're not actually all that clever... 🤔🙄
There are also different TYPES of conspiracy theories. Here is an interesting look at some of the different types/categories -> [https://conspiracychart.com]

Oh boy! Another conspiracy theorist? Why am I not surprised?
The CIA coining "conspiracy theory" has alread been discussed (and debunked) here -> https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thoughts-on-the-israeli-embassy-staff/comment/119448193
If you're serious (at an intellectual level) about understanding conspiracy theories, conspiracy culture, conspiracy psychology, and more - then I suggest you take at a list of some of the books I mentioned here ->https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thoughts-on-the-israeli-embassy-staff/comment/119460442
BTW, it takes knowledge, critical thinking skills, and effort to DISTINGUISH the FALSE conspiracies from the TRUE conspiracies (yes, there are a few that are true ->https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/thoughts-on-the-israeli-embassy-staff/comment/119460442).
