This past weekend I was in Boston for the first time since the Boston Marathon and little did I realize that my hotel at Copley Place was about two blocks from the bombing location.
As I was doing research trying to figure out exactly where the bombs went off, I came across at least 3 sites that call the bombing a hoax, replete with calls of actors playing the parts of the bombed.
All I can think is - What the fuck? I could see possibly if somebody was trying to theorize that it wasn't the Tsarnev brothers who did the act, but I really didn't think I'd see people claiming the act itslef was staged. Were people with bloody stumps hanging out in the alleys waiting to pop out? I mean, what the holy hell do people have go on in their brains to think something like that was faked?
If any of those whack jobs had heard that night they would know it was far from staged. It was as intense as anything I have ever experienced.

That was unreal. The links and info people were posting were so far ahead of anything on tv. Listening to the scanners was nuts. Gun fire and bombs being tossed. So much information and misinformation. What I found interesting at the time were all of the normal calls the police deal with happening at the same time. I don't know what would comple someone to actively deny such an event happened.
Plus, there is the comfort that comes from having "figured it all out" and getting to look down at the "sheeple"
The U.S is bad (and feels like it's getting worse) - but try on Russia, or Egypt...
All are highly offensive, not only for obvious reasons (Sandy Hook), but because they implicitly impugn the character of hundreds of decent people who are apparently more than happy to lie about missiles hitting airliners, FEMA camps, and whatever else the government is covering up.
Chemtrail people are the worst. They've never heard of condensation before
It's likely that 1 of them believes lizard people rule the world, and 3 of them believe that the CIA introduced crack cocaine into the inner cities.

And nearly half would think Trump would be a capable POTUS.
Uh, not so much.
With all due respect to those who lost loved ones in 9/11 and at the Boston Marathon, but I think "Sandy Hook was fake" trumps both of those conspiracy theories as the most disgusting. It was just disgusting on so many different levels, especially since the real reason for the truthers (gun rights etc.) was so easy to pick up on. I think I'd punch someone if they told me Sandy Hook was fake.
Do aliens count?
the media doesn't help.
I used to buy my wing sauce from a small business in Winchester, VA. Not a huge deal, I found it from a friend liked it, bought it online, spent a couple hundred dollars per year.
Over the years I became friends with the guy who owned the company, Bills fan, smart guy thought he was a good football fan and made great wing sauce.
then I began learning more about him. he's a 9-11 truther, building 7 could not have gone down any way other than government controlled implosion.
sandy hook hoaxer - FBI reports had 0 murders in Newtown, CT, so it must have been a false flag meant to further the gun control agenda.
Boston marathon was a false flag - NBC made the mistake of publishing a photo with the body parts and blood airbrushed out of the attach scene near the finish line - it's all the whack jobs need to believe it's a hoax.
he was also a holocaust denier - said based on the numbers reported and the camps reported there was no way they could have killed that many people in that period of time logistically.
moon landing - hoax.
and there's more, so I did some research and there are literally thousands of people like him that cling to holes, reporting inaccuracies, or theories and not facts to claims the media reports are not true and only the previously quoted "sheeple" believe them.
so I don't buy wing sauce or even interact with him any more. it's so tiring. everything is a government agenda.
I think i'd qualify it as a sickness (in my non-medical opinion) psychological at least.
And I agree with Osi, the Sandy Hook truthers are the worst.

"Vast right wing conspiracy"...and, go!
Bah, all you need for a coup d'etat is one good eclipse.
I miss the days where the only conspiracies were JFK and the grassy knoll, and Elvis is still alive and pumping gas in a Tennessee gas station.
JFK: whether or not you believe the hail of bullets or lone gunman, there's at least a shred of credibility for either.
Boston Bombing: live TV coverage and massive staged mayhem simply don't mix. Never say never, so to be charitable, I'd say a <1% chance of it being a conspiracy (in the wingnut sense of the word. technically, I think it was a conspiracy because more than one person was involved)
Basic Reasons
People don't like randomness; need to feel in control.
Explanation does not match preconceived ideas or beliefs. Why different groups of people will believe in different conspiracies.
People who believe in a conspiracy theory believe in more than one; Cognitive thinking, personality some paranoid or schizophrenic type traits.
Higher economic status & education less likely to believe, but still some pretty smart people believing in some dumb things.
Some make the case internet has helped spread.
I give the last a pass. Rich and smart people are often geeks. SO when a playboy bunny makes an authoritative statement with an even more authoritative jiggle of the boob, you gotta listen.
Yes and it showed what complete idiots they were when we made no attempt at all to get their oil and still don't. But nothing will persuade stupid.
by 2050 this is the map of the USA due to climate change (which he scoffs at too as a left wing conspiracy since the polar ice caps are growing).
Different research indicates that the Artic may experience ice-free summers by 2050. In other words, if all the Earth’s ice melts, the ocean would rise about 216 feet. This significant rise in water levels would have a major impact on all countries bordering an ocean, and they’d lose a huge amount of land if this scary scenario unfolds.
The video focuses on what the U.S. will look like when Earth’s entire polar ice cap melts, revealing that the entire eastern seaboard, including the entire state of Florida, would be lost to the Atlantic Ocean. The same goes for major cities like Houston and New Orleans, as the Gulf of Mexico would further expand inland. Other researchers have said that up to 5,200 square miles of the Mississippi delta would disappear over the course of 85 years.
According to the image it would be a better investment than Florida.

I think it also goes back to politics and psychology of politics. We filter our support or disdain for one party or the other and ascribe the best or worst motives. Many conspiracies seem to have a political opponent or policy as the villain.

is easier than using facts. Denial is also one of the more powerful and common psychological behaviors, I've consistently read.

Coincidentally...photos post 9/11 attacks were released recently. You can obviously see the evil mastermind of that administration at work, or at least that's what I've been told.

to keep the oil flowing and being priced in dollars. but freedom and wmds really turned out so well.
I don't believe any conspiracy is possible when more than a few people have to keep their mouth shut but I don't instantly suspect someone who asks reasonable questions either.
