I'm inclined to support Bruno's position here. The thing with most conspiracies is that they are redundant: the result may be achieved more safely, surely, and cheaply by provocation and manipulation than by sneaking about pretending to be someone else. I certainly believe that there are conspiracies out there: in fact I believe there are a far greater number of conspiracies than the average conspiracy theorist believes in, but they are uncoordinated and contrary to one another. People whisper to one another behind closed doors all the time, and not only amorously. Just last night my wife and I were speculating on how one could paint-bomb Julius Malema (q.v.). Where I baulk is the single, unified conspiracy to rule them all.
That said, I would be very surprised indeed if the Official Version of the 11/9 events did not deviate significantly from the truth. I think there are those among the powers that be who are all the happier the more wrong trees conspiracy theorists bark up: and I would go as far as to wonder if the exact detail is all that important. If I have learned anything it is that living sanely means being able to deal sanely with the unknown - and the unknown is huge. Denying the unknown, or denying the importance or ambit of the unknown, or the unknowable, is a popular attitude especially among those who are supposed to have some understanding of things. "Focus on what we do know," they say, and if they do not positively assert that the unknown and the unknowable do not exist they are at least satisfied to ignore them. It's all Hume's fault. Without the pervasive assumption of Humean phenomenalism as an attitude the world would not have considered Heisenberg's uncertainty principle remarkable enough to name after someone. As it is three bullshit artists out of every five come across all sophic and sagacious by bunging quantum mechanics in somewhere. But I digress. Knowing that there are around seventy-four theories of which either an unknown one or none at all may be true is sufficient to develop a sane stance. It does not, should not, affect one's understanding of what is right, correct, beneficial, or desirable: those cannot arise purely from empirical observation. But they will tell us which questions we want answered; and in those terms the vast bulk of the conspiracy theorists' questions are neither here nor there.
