Most Conspiracy Theories debunked by Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein


There are real conspiracies. History provides many examples where EVIDENCE is available and where respected academic sources uphold the evidence. The assassination of Julius Caesar, the many attempts on Hitler's life, most famously by Count Von Stauffenberg. But was JFK murdered by a lone assassin or by a conspiracy? To answer that question one needs to look at the evidence. Was Princess Diana murdered by the British Secret Service? Was General Patton murdered by elements in the US Government to stop him running for President? Was putting fluoride in water a sinister plot in mind control by the US government?
To answer the riddle of Malaysia Flight 370 should we simply watch the tv series "Lost"? Or should we follow the evidence? The plane was directed off its flight path by some human intervention. Who did it and why and under what circumstances? We must wait for the evidence. The internet hates a data vacuum and so conspiracy theories thrive. T.S. Eliot in "Burnt Norton" from Four Quartets:
... human kind
