Just for fun, watch "Dark Legacy", a 2009 'documentary' by John Hankey. It's quite the howler; my incredibility detection meter busted by the end of it.

George Bush Sr, with the help of his Skull and Bones friends, was involved. Bush named each of his planes "Barbara"! Coincidence!?! I think NOT!

=giggles=

I would suggest it’s not that secret. Aggressive Christianity is rampant and there is a monkey in the Big Chair!

Sounds well controlled to me !

Every conspiracy theory depends on a "Them" full of special powers/knowledge, that can keep secrets forever........ ohferpetessake!

Because accepting that your government is just plain incompetent, is boring and asks the question why don't you do something about it, which means accepting your own share in the mess.

Look at all the religious people in this country that would fit the bill of the last sentence in your post.

Oh, sometimes watching those nuts can be highly entertaining. It's when they start gaining traction and influencing stuff that it gets scary.

People desperately need something to blame. Something bigger and way beyond themselves; something exciting and exotic, uncontrollable and unseen and the more X-Files it is, the more readily they'll believe it.

In fact, it will only be a few more decades and future generations will see the X-Files as legit history, you heard it here first!!

The actual answers tend to bore people.
