As far as I am concerned a conspiracy theory is an explanation for evidence that gives away the fact that a blatant lie, usually "a story", put forth to explain some evil is false.

In fact a conspiracy theory has to exist before the conspiracy is exposed unless the perpetrator/s care to make a full confession prior to any suspicions existing long enough to merit a conspiracy theory being formulated and expressed. These are not the conspiracies I will generally be bothered with however; I will be sticking to the more sinister kind, the kind that are kept secret indefinitely, and very often for many decades at least.

But in everyday terms these days a conspiracy theory is taken to be an idea shared by people who are unreasonable and "see" plots and evil intent where "everybody else knows" (despite good reason to be suspicious) that "all is well", "the government" is good and the nazis are a distant memory that could never recur in a modern world.

Or, at any rate, something along those lines.

I am a conspiracy theorist of the worst kind, I believe and uphold and will even attempt to explain some of the most outrageous, unbelievable and incredible conspiracy theories, some of them I have not even come across elsewhere.

I believe them because that is what the reliable evidence suggests strongly says is the case.

I reject the conventional view, the "story", as absurd because the evidence the story is based on doesn't stand up to a cursory glance let alone any intense scrutiny.

People don't reject and fear conspiracy theorists because their ideas are false but because if they did not then they would have to treat those ideas as worthy of their consideration, and, emotionally pre-appraising the matter, they already know or suspect, inwardly if not altogether consciously, that the story is faulty and the theory may be an true explanation.

Here then, for those who dare to open their eyes and face their fears are my own conspiracy theories and those of Great Others which I share at least to some significant extent.
