RE: Four reasons why people believe in conspiracy theories
It seems to me that one major reason people believe in conspiracy theories is that every now and then a ?rumour? is shown to be true. E.g., the recent admissions by the CIA and other intelligence agencies with respect to various aspects of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The average layperson has no way of knowing whether some things are true or not, and when some preposterous claim is found to be true, then what are we to believe?
BTW, Freemasons have pretty strong connections in Australia, until recently owning a large hospital in Melbourne and having members in a lot of important positions in business and government. But I thought it was the Jews that controlled the world....
