About conspiracy theories
If people know about them, then they cannot be possibly real.

The only ones that exist are the ones people don't, won't, and can't know about.

Just an opinion.

3. That's why it's called "theory"
If it were proven, it would be called "conspiracy" without the "theory."

5. Well if we know about them that makes them conspiracy facts.

6. huh? Just because we know about a conspiracy, doesn't make
it not a conspiracy. Iran Contra was a conspiracy, for example.

11. And PNAC.

My question is: if it's the same people over and over, does that make it several different conspiracies, or just one big one?

9. Donald Rumsfeld said it best:
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."

10. Nice picture of Vila.
Although I'm much more of a fan of Avon.
