[questioner]

know of any real ones

[penagate]

The funny thing is that most events which attract 'conspiracy theories' are conspiracies anyway, just not in the sense of the word that conspiracy theorists like to use.

does promoting hoax conspiracies hide and divert attention from real conspiracies?

care to elaborate?

[penagate]

Regardless of who the conspirators are; whether they are who official reports accuse, or who conspiracy theorists would have you believe, it's still a conspiracy either way. A government intelligence theory blaming terrorists is just as much a "conspiracy theory" as a theory blaming the government, just without the (usually political) motivative connotations.

A slightly ironic, if trivially philosophic point; mainly because I am not sure of the real subject of this thread.

Yes, the Illuminati are doing this by frying the brains of conspiracy theorists using electromagnetic waves that can be blocked only with tinfoil.

so no one thinks there are any real conspiracies?

Yes. I believe your post is a conspiracy to sneak in your own thoughts of what conspiracies you believe in.

[penagate]

This thread is way too Dr. Phil to be taken seriously.

You wouldn't have. You wish for us to give you the satisfaction of asking you what your theories are.
