    Just because conspiracies likely do happen on a regular basis doesn’t mean that any popular conspiracy theory has found one.

    Remember, the big conspiracies like Watergate or the NSA leaks where not uncovered by conspiracy theorists. They where not uncovered by cherry-picking factoids from public government statements and “doing ones own research” aka using Google. They were uncovered by whistleblowers speaking out and journalists double-checking and following up on information they were given.

    As a side note — the poor boy with this scumbag father who constantly lies to him.
