    Call me conspiracy-brained but I legit think that not only are the most ridiculous "conspiracy theories" pushed and spread by the alphabet soup agencies as well as discredited so that any "conspiracy theory" can be written off as batshit no matter how plausible it may actually be, but that that sub is also ran and moderated by those same agencies, which is exactly why you get that kind of gatekeeping.

      I mean, there's a reason the easily-debunked grassy knoll theory or multiple shooters theory are the more widespread JFK conspiracy theories, rather than the theory that Oswald shot him, but wasn't working alone.

      Or the easily-debunked and downright absurd theory of a controlled demolition of the twin towers is the most widespread 9/11 conspiracy theory.

      That is something that has crossed my mind in the past. Trickle little bits of truth in with your NSA/MI6 falsity and people will be more likely to pick up on it though.
